  The principal beam dynamics challenge to the subsystems between the damping ring and the collision point of future linear colliders is expected to be the tuning and stabilization required to preserve the transverse emittance and to collide nanometer-scale beams. Recent efforts have focused on realistically modelling the operation and tuning of this region, dubbed the Low Emittance Transport (LET). We report on the development of simulation codes which permit integrated simulation of this complex region, and on early results of these simulations. Future directions of LET simulation are also revealed.

  A 2 T wiggler with 2.8 m long and a gap of 22 mm will be installed at LNLS storage ring. The main requirements of the chamber design are short conditioning time and low mechanical deformation. Two different designs in stainless steel are proposed for the prototypes, an elliptical tube and a machined sheet. A pressure profile simulation with and without a NEG coating were made for evaluating the life-time influence and the time necessary for conditioning. A simulation with finite element of mechanical deformation for both case show equivalent results. The first prototype was made with the elliptical tube and a NEG coating deposition will be made at ESRF. The second prototype with machined parts is under construction and will be TIG welded. Descriptions of mounting structure for the prototype are show and the evaluation the dimension tolerance of the chambers.  
 
MOPKF008 The BESSY Soft X-ray FEL User Facility undulator, photon, laser, electron 312
 
  • D. Krämer
    BESSY GmbH, Berlin
  A FEL User Facility for the VUV to soft X-ray spectral range is planned at the BESSY site based on a cascaded HGHG-FEL scheme. Simultaneous operation of 3 - later 5 - FELs fed by a superconducting 2.3 GeV CW linac generates most flexible pulse structures for experiments, while the seeding scheme utilizing Ti:Sa fs-lasers results in ultrashort reproducible circular polarized FEL pulses on a shot to shot basis at a pulse-duration < 20 fs. Peak brilliances in the 1·1031 ph/(s mm2 mrad2 0.1% bw)-regime are feasible. All necessary hardware for the FEL is within existing technology. Future upgrade options, e.g. a superconducting photoinjector, seeding with short wavelength HHG lasers of about 1 fs pulse duration have been considered. A status on the design aspects is given.

  The BESSY soft X-ray FEL is planned as a High Gain Harmonic Generation HGHG) FEL multi-user facility covering the VUV to soft X-ray spectral rang(0.02 keV - 1 keV). A photoinjector and a superconducting $2.3\,GeV$ CW linac will feed three independent HGHG-FEL-lines. Depending on the optimisation criteria, it is possible to obtain either maximum output power or pure spectrum from the same HGHG-line. We present simulation studies for the BESSY-HGHG-FELs and discuss the possible variability of the output performance.

  In order to generate stable 0.1 nm wavelength SASE source at the European X-ray laser project XFEL, we should supply high quality electron beams with constant beam characteristics to a 200 m long undulator. Generally, beam parameters such as peak current and energy spread are significantly dependent on jitter or error in RF phase and RF amplitude of superconducting accelerating modules, and magnetic field error of bunch compressors. In this paper, we describe the start-to-end simulations from the cathode to the end of linac to determine the jitter and error tolerances for the European XFEL project.

  For pump-probe experiments at the VUV-Free Electron Laser at DESY, an external optical laser system will be installed, capable of delivering ultra-short pulses of high intensity. The laser pulses with a center wavelength of 800 nm are synchronized with the VUV-FEL beam which covers the wavelength range between 6 nm and 80 nm. The expected pulse durations are typically 100 fs FWHM or below. For high-resolution pump-probe experiments a precise knowledge of the time difference between both pulses is mandatory. In this paper we describe the layout and the design of a high-precision electron bunch arrival time monitor based on an electro-optic technique. We present the numerical results of simulations that include: the laser propagation in a specifically designed demanding optical system, the laser transport through a 150 m long optical fibre, the electro-optically induced effect in different types of crystals and for different electron bunch shapes as well as the effects of wake fields on the co-propagating electric-fields and their impact on the observable signals.

  The VUV-FEL at the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) at DESY is being upgraded to an FEL user facility serving high brilliance beams in the wavelength range from the VUV to soft X-rays. The photoinjector has been redesigned to meet the more demanding beam parameters in terms of transverse emittance, peak current, and energy spread. The first phase of the injector upgrade has been finished in spring 2004. We report on its commissioning, including first measurements of beam parameters.

  The goal of the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY Zeuthen (PITZ) is to test and optimize electron sources for Free Electron Lasers and future linear colliders. At the end of 2003 the first stage of PITZ (PITZ1) has been successfully completed, resulting in the installation of the PITZ RF gun at the Vacuum Ultra Violet - Free Electron Laser (VUV-FEL) at DESY Hamburg. The main results achieved during the PITZ1 extensive measurement program are discussed in this paper. A minimum normalized beam emittance of about 1.5 pi mm mrad for 1 nC electron bunch charge has been reached by optimizing numerous photo injector parameters, e.g. longitudinal and transverse profiles of the photocathode laser, RF phase, main and bucking solenoid current. The second stage of PITZ (PITZ2), being a large extension of the facility and its research program, has started now. Recent progress on the PITZ2 developments will be reported as well.

  Free electron lasers employing High Gain Harmonic Generation (HGHG) schemes are very promising coherent light sources for the soft X-ray regime. They offer both transverse and longitudinal coherence, inversely to Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission schemes, where the longitudinal coherence is limited. We propose here to seed HGHG with high harmonics produced by a Ti:Sa femtosecond laser focused on a gas jet, tuneable in the 100-10 nm spectral region. Specifities concerning the implementation of this particular laser source as a seed for HGHG are investigated. Theoretical ad numerical calculations (using PERSEO in particular) are given, for the cases of the SCSS and ARC-EN-CIEL projects.  
 
MOPKF036 Wideband Infrared FEL undulator, electron, vacuum, laser 384
 
  • J.-M. Ortega, F. Glotin, R. Prazeres

  The infrared free-electron laser offers the advantage of a potential large tunability since the FEL gain itself remains subtantially high throughout the infrared spectral range, provided that the electron beam quality remains sufficient at low energy. Moreover, the reflectivity of metal mirrors used in the optical cavity remains close to unity from the near infrared up to the microwave range. The main limitation comes from the diffraction of the optical beam due to the finite size of the vacuum chamber of the undulator and other optical cavity elements. The undulator magnetic gap, and thus magnetic chamber inner heigth, cannot be made arbitrarily large since one needs a K parameter sufficiently large to produce a large wavength tunability (typically K > 2). The diffraction losses can however be further reduced by using an elliptical vacuum chamber inside the undulator and elliptical, instead of spherical, mirrors. Then the optical beam is partially guided inside the chamber. Working in this regime at CLIO, we have obtained an FEL tunable from 3 to 120 μm by operating the accelerator between 50 and 14 MeV. This is the largest spectral range ever obtained with a single optical cavity. We plan to use larger mirrors to further reduce the diffraction produced at the edges of the undulator chambers in order to increase the maximum wavelength to approximately 200 μm

  A new optimization of the SPARC photoinjector, aiming to reduce the FEL saturation length, is presented in this paper. Start to end simulations show that with 1.1 nC charge in a 10 ps long bunch we can deliver at the undulator entrance a beam having 100 A in 50% of the slices (each slice being 300 mm long) with a slice emittance ?1 mm, thus reducing the FEL-SASE saturation length to 12 m at 500 nm wavelength. In addition the stability of the nominal working point and its sensitivity to various type of random errors, under realistic conditions of the SPARC photoinjector operation, are discussed. A systematic scan of the main parameters around the operating point, performed with PARMELA code interfaced to MATLAB, shows that the probability to get a projected emittance exceeding 1 mm is only 10 % and the slice emittance remains below 1 mm in all cases.

  Recent advances in superconducting rf technology, and an improved understanding of rf photoinjector design optimization make if possible to propose a specific design for a superconducting rf gun which can simultaneously produce both ultra-high peak brightness, and high average current. Such a device may prove to be a critical component of next generation x-ray sources such as self-amplified spontaneous emission free-electron lasers (SASE FEL) and energy recovery linac (ERL) based systems. The design presented is scaled from the present state-of-the-art normal conducting rf photoinjector that has been studied in the context of the LCLS SASE FEL. Issues specific to the superconducing rf photoinjector, such as accelerating gradient limit, rf cavity design, and compatibility with magnetic focusing and laser excitation of a photocathode, are discussed.

  Capture efficiency of injection beam is extremely important for top-up operation because open photon shutter permits the bremsstrahlung from lost particles to be transported to experimental floor. Furthermore, since the SPring-8 storage ring has many in-vacuum insertion devices with narrow gap, the demagnetization by the lost electron bombardment is also serious to the beam injection with gap closing. To clarify the loss mechanism of injected beam at the SPring-8 storage ring, we investigate the loss process under various conditions of the storage ring, and especially measure the dependence of injection loss rate on gaps of insertion devices. Comparing the measurements with simulations, we found that an injected particle with a large horizontal amplitude begins to oscillate in vertical direction through error magnetic field and eventually disappears at the vertical limit. It is also found that the low chromaticity of the storage ring is effective for the reduction of injection beam loss. In this paper, we report the loss mechanism of the injection beam of the SPring-8 storage ring and the possible improvements of the capture efficiency.

  Femtosecond electron pulses have become an interesting tool for basic and applied applications, especially in time-resolved experiments and dynamic studies of biomolecules. Intense, coherent radiation can be generated in a broad far-infrared spectrum with intensities, which are many orders of magnitude higher than conventional sources including synchrotron radiation sources. At the Fast Neutron Research Facility (FNRF), Chiangmai University (Thailand), the SURIYA project has been established with the aim to produce femtosecond pulses utilizing a combination of a S-band thermionic rf-gun and an alpha-magnet as the magnetic bunch compressor. A specially designed rf-gun has been constructed to obtain the optimum beam characteristics for best bunch compression. Simulation results show that the bunch lengths as short as 50 fs rms can be expected at the experimental station. This rf- gun, an alpha-magnet and a 20 MeV linac with beam transport system were installed and are being commissioned to generate femtosecond electron bunches. To measure the bunch length of the electron pulses, a Michelson interferometer will be used to observe the spectrum of coherent FIR transition radiation via optical autocorrelation. The main results of numerical simulations and experimental results will be discussed in this paper.  
 
MOPKF055 A Study of CSR Induced Microbunching Using Numerical Simulations dipole, radiation, synchrotron, synchrotron-radiation 434
 
  • M.A. Bowler, H.L. Owen

  Microbunching due to Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) has been predicted for high density bunches and has been 'observed' using numerical simulations by the code ELEGANT of M. Borland, which includes a 1D model of CSR. However, there is currently a debate as to whether this micro-bunching is a real physical effect or is a numerical artefact, possibly introduced by having to use macro-particles to model the electrons. In particular, the amplitude of the micro-bunching diminishes as the number of macroparticles increases, but the question remains open as to whether the amplitude converges to zero or a finite value. The micro-bunching produced by ELEGANT is being studied as a function of the numerical parameters of the code and also as a function of the range of bunch parameters and bending magnet strengths of relevance to the 180 degree bending arcs required for the proposed 4GLS at Daresbury Laboratory. Calculations with up to 2 million macroparticles have been carried out on a Linux workstation using gaussian bunches of FWHM of 2psec and charge of 1 nC, and show the existence of microbunching at the end of a 180 degree arc containing 5 TBA cells with magnet strengths of 0.5T. Further investigation of this problem is required.  
 
MOPKF065 Magnet Block Sorting for Variably Polarising Undulators undulator, electron, insertion-device, insertion 461
 
  • D.J. Scott
    CCLRC/DL/ASTeC, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire
  Effective sorting of permanent magnet blocks for undulators can reduce the adverse effects of magnetic in-homogeneities and engineering tolerances on the electron beam. For variably polarising undulators the number of different modes of operation make defining the objective function of a particular permutation more difficult than for a planar device. Factors required in defining a good objective function for a new APPLE-II type helical undulator for the SRS are discussed. These factors include calculating the magnetic field integrals, the particle trajectory and rms optical phase error. The effects of different weighting of these functions in the objective function are also discussed. A comparison of different optimisation techniques, including simulated annealing and Monte Carlo methods is also made.

  The present design of LUX (linac based ultra-fast X-ray facility) includes a harmonic cascade FEL chain to generate coherent EUV and soft X-ray radiation. Four cascade stages, each consisting of two undulators acting as a modulator and a radiator, respectively, are envisioned to produce photons of approximate wavelengths 48 nm, 12 nm, 4 nm and 1 nm. Bending sections may be placed between the modulator and the radiator of each stage to adjust and maintain bunching of the electrons, to separate, in space, photons of different wavelengths and to optimize the use of real estate. In this note, the conceptual design of such a bending section, which may be used at all four stages, is presented. Preliminary tracking results show that it is possible to maintain bunch structure of nm length scale in the presence of errors, provided that there is adequate orbit correction and there are 2 families of trim quads and trim skew quads, respectively, in each bending section.

  LUX is a proposed facility for ultrafast X-ray science, based on an electron beam accelerated to GeV energies in a recirculating linac. Included in the design are short duration (200 fs or shorter FWHM) light sources using multiple stages of higher harmonic generation, seeded by a 190–250 nm laser of similar duration. This laser modulates the energy of a group of electrons within the electron bunch; this section of the electron bunch then produces radiation at a higher harmonic after entering a second, differently tuned undulator. Repeated stages in a cascade yield increasing photon energies up to 1 keV. Most of the undulators in the cascade operate in the low-gain FEL regime. Harmonic cascades have been designed for each pass of the recirculating linac up to a final electron beam energy of 3.1 GeV. For a given cascade, the photon energy can be selected over a wide range by varying the seed laser frequency and the field strength in the undulators. We present simulation results using the codes GENESIS and GINGER, as well as the results of analytical models which predict FEL performance. We discuss lattice considerations pertinent for harmonic cascade FELs, as well as sensitivity studies and requirements on the electron beam.  
 
MOPKF081 Peak Current Optimization for LCLS Bunch Compressor 2 undulator, emittance, damping, linac 506
 
  • A.C. Kabel, P. Emma
    SLAC, Menlo Park, California
  The performance of an FEL will be a function of both the driving bunch's current and its slice emittance. We have studied a set of parameters for the bunch compression section of the LCLS, simulating the effects of Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) on the slice emittance of the bunch core as a function of peak current. We use the code TraFiC4 for a three-dimensional, self-consistent simulation on parallel computers. While higher currents will increase FEL performance, its detrimental effects, due to CSR, on slice emittance will counteract this beneficial effect. From our simulations, we determine a near-optimum current, balancing these effects.

  We have developed a parallel simulation code allowing the self-consistent, three-dimensional simulation of the strong-strong beam-beam effect, using a particle-on-mesh technique and fast elliptic solvers. It is able to operate with sufficiently high logitudinal resolution to treat phase-averaging and hourglass effects in the interaction point (IP) correctly. This code has been generalized to handle the collisions of an arbitrary set of bunches at arbitrary positions in the ring (parasitic crossings), using appropriately reduced longitudinal resolution of collisions not in the design IP. We provide benchmarking results and parameter studies based on PEP-II.

  MIT is exploring the construction of a linac-based x-ray laser user facility on the campus of the Bates Linear Accelerator Center. The facility under consideration would span the wavelength range from 100 to 0.3 nm in the fundamental, move into the hard X-ray region in the third harmonic, and preserve the possibility of an upgrade to even shorter wavelengths. The accelerator configuration would include a high brightness electron gun, a superconducting electron linac and multiple undulators and beam lines to support a growing user community. This paper will present the recent progress on the start-to-end simulations including the parameter optimizations and sensativity analysis.

  The design of the LHC collimators must comply with the very demanding specifications entailed by the highly energetic beam handled in the LHC: these requirements impose a temperature on the collimating jaws not exceeding 50°C in steady operations and an unparalleled overall geometrical stability of 25micro-m on a 1200 mm span. At the same time, the design phase must meet the challenging deadlines required by the general time schedule. To respond to these tough and sometimes conflicting constraints, the chosen design appeals to a mixture of traditional and innovative technologies, largely drawing from LEP collimator experience. The specifications impose a low-Z material for the collimator jaws, directing the design towards graphite or such novel materials as 3-d Carbon/Carbon composites. An accurate mechanical design has allowed to considerably reduce mechanical play and optimize geometrical stability. Finally, all mechanical studies were supported by in-depth thermo-mechanical analysis concerning temperature distribution, mechanical strength and cooling efficiency.

  The intensities foreseen for injection into the LHC are over an order of magnitude above the expected damage levels. The TI 2 and TI 8 transfer lines between the SPS and LHC are each about 2.5 km long and comprise many magnet families. Despite planned power supply surveillance and interlocks, failure modes exist which could result in uncontrolled beam loss and serious transfer line or LHC equipment damage. We describe the collimation system in the transfer lines that has been designed to provide passive protection against damage at injection. Results of simulations to develop a conceptual design are presented. The optical and physical installation constraints are described, and the resulting element locations and expected system performance presented, in terms of the phase space coverage, local element temperature rises and the characteristics of the beam transmitted into the LHC.  
 
MOPLT013 Fatigue Testing of Materials by UV Pulsed Laser Irradiation laser, linac, vacuum, radiation 557
 
  • S. Calatroni, H. Neupert, M. Taborelli
    CERN, Geneva
  The energy dissipated by the RF currents in the cavities of high-power pulsed linacs induces cycles of the surface temperature. In the case of the CLIC main linac the expected amplitude of the thermal cycles is about hundred degrees, for a total number of pulses reaching 10e11. The differential thermal expansion due to the temperature gradient in the material creates a cyclic stress that can result in surface break-up by fatigue. The materials for cavity fabrication must therefore be selected in order to withstand such constraints whilst maintaining an acceptable surface state. The fatigue behaviour of Cu and CuZr alloy has been tested by inducing larger surface peak temperatures, thus reducing the number of cycles to failure, irradiating the surface with 50 ns pulses of UV light (308 nm) from an excimer laser. Surface break-up is observed after different number of laser shots as a function of the peak temperature. CuZr appears to withstand a much larger number of cycles than Cu, for equal peak temperature. The characterization of the surface states and possible means of extrapolating the measured behaviour to the expected number of pulses of CLIC are discussed in detail.

  A fast extraction kicker system has been installed in the SPS and successfully used in extraction tests in 2003. It will serve to send beam to the anticlockwise LHC ring and the CNGS neutrino facility. The magnets and pulse generators have been recuperated from an earlier installation and upgraded to fit the present application. Hardware improvements include diode stacks as replacement of the previous dump thyratron switches, a cooling system of the magnets, sensors for its ferrite temperatures and magnetic field quality assessment. In preparation of the future use for 450 GeV/c transfer to LHC and double batch extraction at 400 GeV/c for CNGS the tests comprised extractions of single bunches, twelve bunches in a single extraction and single bunches in a double extraction.

  The intensity of the LHC beams will be several orders of magnitude above the damage thresholds for equipment, at 7 TeV, but also already at injection energy of 450 GeV. Passive protection of the equipment against failures during beam transfer, injection and dumping of the beam with absorbers and collimators is foreseen to ensure safe operation. Since these protection devices must be robust in case of beam impact, low-Z materials such as graphite are favored. The reduction of the energy density of the primary beam by the absorber is determined by the attenuation of the beam due to nuclear collisions and the emittance growth of the surviving protons due to scattering processes. Absorbers with low density materials tend to be several meters long to ensure sufficient reduction of the transverse energy density of the impacting beam. The physics principles leading to attenuation and emittance growth for a hadron beam traversing matter are summarised, and FLUKA simulation results for 450 GeV and 7TeV proton beams on low-Z absorbers are compared with theoretical predictions. Design criteria for the LHC absorbers can be derived from these results. As an example, for the transfer line from SPS to LHC a short, low-Z absorber has been proposed to protect the LHC injection elements.

  The passive protection devices TDI, TCDD and TCLI are required to prevent damage to the LHC in case of serious injection failures, in particular of the MKI injection kicker. A detailed particle tracking, taking realistic mechanical, positioning, injection, closed orbit and local optical errors into account, has been used to determine the required settings of the absorber elements to guarantee protection against different MKI failure modes. The expected protection level of the combination of TDI with TCLI, with the new TCLI layout, is presented. Conclusions are drawn concerning the expected damage risk level.

  Parameters are derived for the lattice and RF system of electron models of a non-scaling FFAG ring for accelerating muons. The models accelerate electrons from about 10 to about 20 MeV, and have circumferences between 10 and 17 m. Magnet types and dimensions, spacings, half apertures, about 12~mm by 20~mm,and number of cells are presented. The magnetic components are compared to existing magnets. The tune variation with momentum covers several integers, similar to that in a full machine, and allows the study of resonance crossing. The consequences of misaligned magnets are studied by simulation. The lattices are designed such that transition is at about 15 MeV. The variation of orbit length with momentum is less than 36~mm, and allows the study of acceleration outside a bucket. A 100~mm straight section, in each of the cells, is adequately long for an RF cavity operating at 3 GHz. Hamiltonian dynamics in longitudinal phase space close to transition is used to calculate the accelerating voltage needed. Acceleration is studied by simulation. Practical RF system design issues, e.g. RF power, and beam loading are estimated.  
 
MOPLT037 Simulation of Transient Beam-feedback Interaction with Application to the Extraction of the CNGS Beam from the SPS extraction, feedback, betatron, kicker 626
 
  • E. Vogel, W. Höfle
    CERN, Geneva
  For actual and future high energy proton accelerators, such as the LHC, transverse feedback systems play an essential role in supplying the physics experiments with high intensity beams at low emittances. We developed a simulation model to study the interaction between beam and transverse feedback system in detail, bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn, considering the real technical implementation of the latter. A numerical model is used as the nonlinear behavior (saturation) and limited bandwidth of the feedback system, as well as the transient nature at injection and extraction, complicates the analysis. The model is applied to the practical case of the CNGS beam in the SPS accelerator. This beam will be ejected from the SPS in two batches causing residual oscillations by kicker ripples on the second batch. This second batch continues to circulate for some 1000 turns after the first batch has been extracted and oscillations are planned to be damped by the feedback system. It is shown how the model can be extended to the case of transients at injection (LHC), and to include coupled bunch instability effects.  
 
MOPLT039 QCD Explorer Based on LHC and CLIC-1 proton, luminosity, electron, emittance 632

  Colliding 7-TeV LHC super-bunches with 75-GeV CLIC bunch trains can provide electron-proton collisions at very high centre-of-mass energies, opening up a new window into QCD. At the same time, this QCD explorer would employ several key components required for both an LHC upgrade and CLIC. We here present a possible parameter set of such a machine, study the consequences of the collision for both beams, and estimate the attainable luminosity.

  The LHC will operate at 7 TeV with a luminosity of 1034 cm-2s-1. This requires two beams, each with 2808 bunches. The nominal intensity per bunch is 1.1 1011 protons. The energy stored in each beam of 350 MJ could heat and melt 500 kg of copper. Protection of machine equipment in the presence of such powerful beams is essential. In this paper the mechanisms causing equipment damage in case of a failure of the machine protection system are discussed. An energetic heavy ion beam induces strong radial hydrodynamic motion in the target that drastically reduces the density in the beam heated region [*], leading to a much longer range for particles in the material. For the interaction of the LHC proton beams with a target a similar effect is expected. We carried out two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the heating of a solid copper block with a face area of 2cm x 2cm irradiated by the LHC beam with nominal parameters. We estimate that after an impact of about 100 bunches the beam heated region has expanded drastically. The density in the inner 0.5 mm decreases by about a factor of 10. The temperature in this region is about 10 eV and the pressure about 15 GPa. The material in the heated region is in plasma state while the rest of the target is in a liquid state. The bulk of the following beam will not be absorbed and continue to tunnel further and further into the target. The results allow estimating the length of a sacrificial absorber, if such device should be installed for an LHC upgrade. A very interesting "spinoff" from this work would be the study of high-energy-density states of matter induced by the LHC beam, because a specific energy deposition of 200 kJ/g is achieved after 2.5 micros.

  For the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator being constructed on the CERN site, very precise variable DC currents are required. The company JEMA had during year 2002, designed, manufactured and tested a power converter prototype according to CERN specifications, particularly demanding in terms of dc stability and dynamic response. The power converter is formed by four sub-converters 8V, 2kA in parallel. Isolation between mains input and magnet load is at high frequency done, 40 kHz, which means a volume reduction and better mains perturbations rejection. IGBT inverter soft switch-mode power conversion in ZVS operation reduces dramatically commutation losses, increasing total efficiency of the power converter. The sub-converter, regulated by a wide band width current loop in ACC mode, follows the current reference calculated by the overall voltage loop, providing a good sharing of the output currents and high output stability. The design of the water cooled power converter, results in a very reduce volume and modular structure, providing the system a very flexible exchangeability. The power converter was tested and accepted by CERN into year 2003, some minor points were left to be adjusted during the pre-series stage.

  The beam-beam performance of the PEP-II B-Factory has been studied by simultaneously measuring the instantaneous luminosity, the horizontal and vertical e+ and e- beam sizes in the two rings, and the spatial extent of the luminous region as extracted from BaBar dilepton data. These quantities, as well as ring tunes, beam lifetimes and other collider parameters are recorded regularly as a function of the two beam currents, both parasitically during routine physics running and in a few dedicated accelerator physics experiments. They are used to quantify, project, and ultimately improve the PEP-II performance in terms of achieved beam-beam parameters, dynamic-beta enhancement, and current-dependence of the specific luminosity.

  In the framework of the CLIC studies for a 3 TeV centre of mass linear collider the CLIC Test Facility-3 accelerator (CTF3) is developed to validate the novel concept of CLIC drive beam generation. The front end of the CTF3 linac uses a 140 kV thermionic gun capable to deliver a beam with currents of up to 10 A during 1.5 microseconds. Theμtime structure of this beam is generated with two standing wave single-cell 3 GHz pre-buncher cavities. The high current demands special care in the design of the pre-bunchers to preserve beam quality and transmission. A particular concern was beamloading in the second pre-buncher. In this paper, the design and the conditioning of the pre-bunchers are reported but the main focus is on the commissioning with the electron beam, which showed unexpected results. Indeed, contrary to our expectations, the unbunched beam seems to induce a kind of beamloading in the first pre-buncher while the second one shows none.

  The Circular Radiofrequency Quadrupole is basically a Linear Radio-Frequency Quadrupole completely bent on a circle. A 30-keV prototype is being presently designed and manufactured for testing of the fundamental principles within the scope of a collaboration between BNL and Italian research centers. The storage ring is made of a proton source, a Linear RfQ section 70 cm long, for injection and matching, and eight Curved sections also each about 70 cm long. The proton beam is provided by a modified RF source with electrostatic acceleration at the emittance, intensity and energy required by the beam dynamics.The design of the initial linear prototype is based on a 4-rods geometry having a beam gap diameter of 10mm, and circular 10mm diameters rods. The sector is placed in a 150mm diameter pipe, making it as a very compact structure. The dimensions of the device are adjusted to resonate at 202.56 MHz. A RF power source will be soon available to test the device. The paper describes the compact RF cells arrangement in the design of the two sections.

  A Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) ring will be used as a phase rotator in the PRISM project. We report a design of the PRISM-FFAG in this paper. PRISM stands for "Phase Rotated Intense Slow Muon beam". It is a project to realize a super muon beam, which combines high-intensity, low-energy, narrow energy-spread and high purity. Its aimed intensity is about 1011-1012 muons per sec. The muon beam will be provided with a low kinetic energy of 20MeV to optimize for the stopped muon experiments. FFAG has some advantageous characteristics to achieve such superb beam. These are a large momentum (longitudinal) acceptance, a wide transverse acceptance with strong focusing, and synchrotron oscillation, which is needed to perform phase rotation. According to simulations, initial energy spread of 20MeV±40% is reduced down to ±6% after 5 turns of muons in the FFAG ring. In the FFAG ring almost all pions decay into muon, hence extracted beam has extremely low pion contamination. A program to construct the PRISM-FFAG ring has been started. It would be completed by the end of JFY 2005.

  With the implementation of fs mode-locked Ti:Sapphire lasers in high-gradient RF photoguns, a new charged particle acceleration regime has emerged, the so-called pancake regime. Pancake bunches have by definition a restframe length which is much smaller than the bunch radius. This geometry allows a relatively simple, but effective analytical description of the space-charge dominated, critical initial part of the acceleration trajectory. In high-gradient RF photoguns the pancake regime can be relevant up to several MeV. The general opinion is that extremely short bunches should be avoided during the initial stages of the acceleration process, because high space charge densities are always detrimental to the final beam quality. We show that this is not necessarily true: shorter bunches may even lead to better beams.

  We have formulated integrated simulations of the transport of the electron and positron bunches in the Linear Collider from the linac entrance through the beam delivery system and the interaction region, taking wakefield effects into account. We have set up the simulations to run on the 64-cpu prototpye Grid cluster at QMUL and generated results for various sets of input parameters for the TESLA and NLC machines. For TESLA we have evaluated the distortion of the phase-space of the bunches at the interaction point due to wakefields. We have calculated the luminosity degradation and the production of photons and e+e- pairs. We have simulated the performance of the intra-train beam feedback systems based on bunch position, angle and luminosity measures, and have evauated the luminosity recovery potential of these systems for TESLA and NLC.

  Numerical simulations are performed to analyze the Tevatron collimator damage happened in December 2003 that was induced by a failure in the CDF Roman Pot detector positioning during the collider run. Possible scenarios of this failure resulted in an excessive halo generation and superconducting magnet quench are studied via realistic simulations using the STRUCT and MARS14 codes. It is shown that the interaction of a misbehaved proton beam with the collimators result in a rapid local heating and a possible damage. A detailed consideration is given to the ablation process for the collimator material taking place in high vacuum. It is shown that ablation of tungsten (primary collimator) and stainless steel (secondary collimator) jaws results in creation of a groove in the jaw surface as was observed after the December's accident.

  The RF Technology Development group at Fermilab is working together with the NLC and GLC groups at SLAC and KEK on developing technology for room temperature X-band accelerating structures for a future linear collider. We built seven 60cm long, high phase advance, detuned structures (HDS or FXB series). These structures have 150 degrees phase advance per cell, and are intended for high gradient tests. The structures were brazed in a vacuum furnace with a partial pressure of argon, rather than in a hydrogen atmosphere. We have also begun to build 60cm long, damped and detuned structures (HDDS or FXC / FXD series). So far, we have built 3 FXC structures. Our goal is to build 4 FXC and 2 FXD structures for the 8-pack test at SLAC by the end of March 2004, as part of the GLC/NLC effort to demonstrate the readiness of room temperature RF technology for a linear collider. This poster describes the RF structure factory infrastructure (clean rooms, vacuum furnaces, vacuum equipment, RF equipment etc.), and the fabrication techniques utilized (the machining of copper cells / couplers, quality control, etching, vacuum brazing, cleanliness requirements etc.) for the production of FXB and FXC structures.

  In order to meet the vibration budget for the Next Linear Collider main Linac components, the vibration sources in the NLC girder are being studied. The activity is focused on the vibration induced by the cooling water flow for the 60 cm long accelerating copper structures.

  An electron (or positron) multi-bunch train traversing several thousand accelerator structures can be distorted by long-range wakefields left behind the accelerated bunches. These wakefields can at the very least, give rise to a dilution in the emittance of the beam and, at worst can lead to a beam break up instability. We investigate the emittance dilution that occurs for various frequency errors (corresponding to small errors made in the design or fabrication of the structure) for the GLC/NLC (Global Linear Collider/Next Linear Collider) and for TESLA (Terra Electron Superconducting Linear Accelerator). Resonant effects, which can be particularly damaging, are studied for X-band and L-band linacs. Simulations are performed with the computer codes LIAR[1] and L-MAFIA[2].

  A multi-bunch beam traversing traveling wave accelerator structures, each with a 5pi/6 phase advance is accelerated at a frequency that is synchronous with the fundamental mode frequency. As per design, the main interaction occurs at the working frequency of 11.424 GHz. However, modes with frequencies surrounding the dominant accelerating mode are also excited and these give rise to additional modal components to the wakefield. Here, we consider the additional modes in the context of X-band accelerator structures for the GLC/NLC (Global Linear Collider/Next Linear Collider). Finite element simulations, mode-matching and circuit models are employed in order to calculate the wakefield.

  The X-band linear collider design, GLC/NLC, requires accelerating structures in the main linac to operate at 65 MV/m and to be able to control emittance growth due to dipole wakefields generated by 100 micron bunch trains. The approach to high gradient has focused mainly on testing structures for acceptable breakdown rates at the desired gradient through experiments since the problem is analytically challenging. In suppressing dipole wakefields, the damped, detuned structure (DDS) has shown capable of meeting design requirements but the analysis using equivalent circuits has thus far been limited to the lowest two dipole bands. This paper describes a computational approach that addresses these design issues through large-scale simulations, using a suite of parallel electromagnetic codes developed under the DOE SciDAC Accelerator Simulation Project. Numerical results on peak field calculation, dark current generation, and wakefield computation will be presented on the H60VG4S17 DDS structure, considered to be the baseline design for the NLC.

  A new flexible tool for evaluating accelerator reliability was developed as part of the US Linear Collider Technology Comparison Study. The linear collider designs considered were based on the GLC/NLC X-band and TESLA Superconducting proposals, but modified to meet the US physics requirements. To better model some of the complexities of actual operation, a simulation program was written, which included details such as partial fixes or workarounds, hot-swappable repairs, multiple simultaneous repairs, cooldown periods before access, staged recovery from an outage, and both opportunistic and scheduled machine development. The main linacs and damping rings were modeled in detail with component counts taken from the designs, and using MTBFs and MTTRs from existing accelerator experience. Other regions were assigned a nominal overall failure rate. Variants such as a single tunnel or conventional positron source were also evaluated, and estimates made of the sensitivity to recovery or repair times. While neither design was predicted to be sufficiently reliable given present experience, the required improvements were estimated to increase the overall project cost by only a few percent.

  Luminosity stability of the X-band linear collider will be provided by beam-based train by train steering feedbacks in the linac and at the IP, optional active stabilization of the final doublet, being developed to counteract possible excessive vibration of the detector, and optional fast intratrain feedback that would allow delivering major part of the luminosity while other systems are being commissioned. Control and reduction of the beam jitter originating from vibration of collider components is part of our strategy described in this paper.

  Careful optics studies and stringent lattice control have been identified as two key components to increasing PEP-II luminosity. An accurate, trusted BPM system is required for both of these strategies. To validate the existing BPM system and to better understand some optical anomalies in the PEP-II rings, an aggressive program of beam-based alignment (BBA) has been initiated. Using a quad-shunt BBA procedure in which a quadrupole?s field strength is varied over a range of beam positions, relative offsets are determined by the BPM readings at which quadrupole field changes no longer induce a closed orbit shift. This procedure was verified in the HER and is well underway in the LER IR. We have found many surprisingly large BPM offsets, some over one centimeter, as well as a number of locations where the current nominal orbit is several millimeters from the quadrupole center. Tune versus quadrupole field data were taken during the BBA process in the LER IR, and the non-linear response in each case is compared to simulation to infer local beta functions.

  In order to meet the tight SPEAR 3 accelerator commissioning schedule, a software package was assembled to streamline experimental measurements and data analysis. At the heart of the software is a MATLAB "middle layer" with an element definition database and channel access link for fast and easy communication with the EPICS control system. Originally adapted from work at the ALS, the middle layer allows direct control from the MATLAB command line, use in the form of short "scripts" for specific experiments and integration into high-level application programs. The revised software is also machine-independent. This paper outlines the software architecture and provide examples with results from the SPEAR 3 accelerator commissioning effort.

  Using a self-consistent, three-dimensional simulation program running on parallel supercomputers, we have simulated the beam-beam interaction at the PEP II asymmetric e+e- collider. In order to provide guidance to luminosity improvement in PEP-II, we have scanned the tunes and other machine parameters in both rings, and computed their impact on the luminosity and particle loss. Whenever possible, the code has been benchmarked against experimental measurements, at various beam currents, of luminosity and luminous-region size using the BaBar detector. These studies suggest that three-dimensional effects such as bunch lengthening may be important to understand a steep drop of luminosity near the peak currents.

  The beam-beam interaction is a limiting factor in RHIC's performance, particularly in proton operation. Changing the working point is a strategy to minimize the beam-beam effect and improve the performance of the machine. Experiments at injection energy and simulations have been performed for a set of working points in order to determine what are the best candidates.

  The mechanism of electron multipacting in long bunched proton machine has been quantitatively described by the electron energy gain and electron motion. Some important parameters related to electron multipacting are investigated in detail. It is proved that multipacting is sensitive to beam intensity, longitudinal beam profile shape and transverse beam size. Agreement is achieved among our analysis, simulation and experiment.  
 
TUZBCH02 Beam Dynamics Challenges for Future Circular Colliders electron, luminosity, emittance, proton 83
 
  • F. Zimmermann
    CERN, Geneva
  The luminosity of circular colliders rises with the beam intensity, until some limit is encountered, mostly due to head-on and long-range beam-beam interaction, due to electron cloud, or due to conventional impedance sources. These limitations can be alleviated, if not overcome, by a proper choice of beam parameters and by dedicated compensation schemes. Examples include the alternating crossing at several interaction points, electromagnetic wires, super-bunches, electron lenses, clearing electrodes, and nonlinear collimation. I illustrate the benefit from such mitigating measures for the Tevatron, the LHC, the LHC Upgrade, the VLHC, the super e+e- factories, or other projects, and I describe related research efforts at FNAL, KEK, BNL and CERN.

TUPKF003 Industrial Production of the Eight Normal-conducting 200 MHz ACN Cavities for the LHC vacuum, beam-losses, electron, controls 956

    CERN, Geneva
  The LHC-ACN RF system consists of 8 normal-conducting cavities and is designed to reduce beam losses in the LHC when injecting beams with longitudinal emittance > 0.7 eVs from the CERN SPS. The cavity design took into account the possibility of recuperating all the "ancillary" equipment (tuners, fundamental mode damper, High Order Mode (HOM) couplers) from the old CERN SPS 200MHz system. The cavities are made from OFE copper. The original ingots, procured in Austria, have been forged and pre-formed by pressing them with a 20 tons press, following a procedure defined and adapted for the unusual dimensions of these pieces. The raw components thus obtained were machined and then welded together with an electron beam. In order to get a good repeatability of the fundamental mode frequency across the eight cavities, a procedure has been established with the contractor for the final machining and welding leading to a spread in frequencies below ±20 kHz (< 0.01%). The cavities will be installed in the LHC when losses at high intensities become significant. In the meantime they are undergoing a surface treatment to clean the RF surface and will be stored.

  In a high energy and high power superconducting proton linac, it is more economical to drive several cavities with a single high power transmitter rather than to use one transmitter per cavity. This option has however the disadvantage of not permitting to individually control each cavity, which potentially leads to instabilities. Provided that it can be built at a reasonable cost, a fast phase & amplitude modulator inserted into each cavity feeder line can provide the necessary control capability. A prototype of such a device has been built, based on two fast and compact high power RF phase-shifters, magnetically biased by external coils. The design is described, together with the results obtained at high and low power levels.  
 
TUPKF009 RF Control of the Superconducting Linac for the BESSY FEL injection, klystron, linac, beam-loading 973
 
  • J. Knobloch, A. Neumann
    BESSY GmbH, Berlin
  In the BESSY-FEL superconducting linac, precise RF control of the cavities' voltage is imperative to maintain a bunch-to-bunch time jitter of less than 50 fs for synchronization in the HGHG section. The average beam loading is less than 1.5 kW/m and the cavity bandwidth is small so that high-gain RF feedback is required. Noise, in particular microphonic detuning, strongly impact the achievable level of control. Presented here are simulations of the cavity-feedback system, taking into account beam loading and noise sources such as measurement noise, microphonics and injection jitter. These simulations are used to estimate the resultant time and energy jitter of the bunches as they enter the HGHG section of the BESSY FEL.  
 
TUPKF010 Cryogenic Considerations for CW Operation of TESLA-type Superconducting Cavity Modules for the BESSY FEL linac, cryogenics, extraction, radio-frequency 976
 
  • J. Knobloch, W. Anders, X. Yu
    BESSY GmbH, Berlin
  The proposed BESSY FEL uses a CW superconducting driver linac to provide acceleration up to 2.3 GeV. Its design is based on well-established TESLA technology, originally intended for heat loads of order 1 W/m at 2.0 K. CW operation increases this load to levels of order 15 W/m at 1.8 K for a total heat load of 3 kW at 2.3 GeV (given conservative assumptions for the attainable Q-factor). Presented here is an analysis of the cryogenic layout, including two-phase-flow simulations of the 1.8-K helium which help identify the changes needed for reliable CW operation. A modified ‘‘CW'' module and helium distribution scheme is proposed.

  A prototype high power 500 MHz copper cavity with three tapered circular waveguides for broadband higher order mode (HOM) damping has been fabricated especially for the use in 3rd generation synchrotron radiation sources. Low power impedance measurements are presented and compared with theoretical simulations to verify the expected HOM damping efficiency as well as the fundamental mode shunt impedance. After a careful cleaning and baking process to reduce the vacuum pressure the cavity has been conditioned at high power. All relevant parameters of the cavity are reported.

  H-mode cavities (IH-DTL, IH-RFQ, 4-Vane-RFQ) have been developed and operated successfully during the last decades for ion acceleration. At the IAP Frankfurt a new type of H-mode cavity, the CH-structure is under development. This multi cell drift tube cavity is operated in the TE21- mode. Due to its mechanical rigidity, room temperature as well as superconducting versions can be realized. Superconducting CH-structures might be used especially for cw operated linacs in nuclear research facilites and applied research projects like XADS or IFMIF. A superconducting 352 MHz CH-structure (beta=0.1) with 19 gaps will be available for first tests in 2004. We present the status of the cavity and of the new cryo laboratory in Frankfurt.

  Due to the high input power required to feed a resonant cavity, the RF input coupler is a critical component for the reliability of an RF system. The 500 MHz RF input coupler for the ELETTRA cavities was specified for 150 kW input power. It is important to investigate the performance limits of the coupler in view of increasing RF power requirements. The coupler's maximum peak field and dissipation versus the input power have been studied by means of the numerical simulator HFSS. Possible improvements to the existing design have been investigated. The optimization has to take into consideration the following requirements: convenient power transmission efficiency, RF matching, suitable coupling coefficient, negligible perturbation on cavity voltage, moderate operating temperature and stress.

  The latest results from an experimental waveguide section, as well as simulations from a model of electron multipacting using the MAGIC PIC code, are discussed. Tests were carried out on a new waveguide section that included enhanced diagnostics and the possibility of changing surface materials and temperature. Those tests evaluated grooves, ridges and surface coatings, such as TiN and a TiZrV NEG coating, as methods of multipactor suppression. The conclusion remains that the most effective method to achieve complete multipactor suppression remains the application of a static magnetic bias of approximately 10G. The experiments also provided good data sets that can be used to verify the accuracy of simulations. Simulations of the waveguide multipacting have been carried out and have offered better understanding of electronic behaviour.  
 
TUPKF049 Combining Cavity for RF Power Sources: Computer Simulation and Low Power Model vacuum, klystron 1060
 
  • E. Wooldridge, S.C. Appleton, B. Todd
    CCLRC/DL/ASTeC, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire
  A combining cavity for RF power sources has been investigated as a way of saving space, in comparison to waveguides, and as a way of combining power with graceful degradation if one or more component were to fail. The cavity has been investigated as the maximum power output of an Inductive Output Tube (IOT) for CW is 80KW at 500MHz and a proposed output of 20KW at 1.3GHz and most RF systems for particle accelerators require much more than this. Although 1.3GHz klystrons do exist they are vastly more expensive to purchase and maintain. Also the down time could be minimised to minutes in the even of a single IOT failure where as a klystron has a minimum downtime of several days in the event of a failure. Initially the cavity and its inputs were simulated in CSTs? Microwave studio. After optimising the cavity to ensure the minimum reflection at the input ports and maximum transmission at the output port, a low power model was then created from aluminium. Signal generators were used to power the model and a network analyser was used to check the output. The model was used to compare the results gained from the computer simulation and to obtain results from asymmetric positioning of the ports, which was not possible in the simulation.  
 
TUPKF055 Space-charge-limited Magnetron Injection Guns for Gyroklystrons cathode, gun, injection, electron 1072
 
  • W. Lawson
    Maryland University, College Park, Maryland
  We present the results of several space-charge-limited (SCL) magnetron injection gun (MIG) designs which are intended for use with a 500 kV, 500 A gyroklystron with accelerator applications. The design performances are compared to that of a temperature-limited (TL) gun that was constructed for the same application. The SCL designs yield similar values for beam quality, namely an axial velocity spread under 3% for an average perpendicular-to-parallel velocity ratio of 1.5. The peak electric fields and the cathode loadings of the SCL designs are somewhat higher than for the TL design. Three designs are described in this paper. In the first design the space-charge limit is achieved by recessing the emitter into the cathode. The other two designs have control electrodes to which a voltage can be applied to change the beam current independently of the beam voltage. One of these designs can accept a bias sufficiently high to cut off the current completely, so that a DC power supply with pulsed grid operation is possible. Details of all designs as well as a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the SCL designs as compared to the TL design will be given.  
 
TUPKF056 Multipacting in Crossed RF Fields near Cavity Equator electron, superconductivity 1075
 
  • V.D. Shemelin
    Cornell University, Ithaca, New York
  Electric and magnetic fields near the cavity equator are presented in a form of expansions up to the third power of coordinates. Comparisons with numerical calculations made with the SLANS code for the TESLA and other cavity cells, as well as with the analytical solution for a spherical cavity are done. These fields are used for solution of equations of motion. It appears that for description of motion, the only main terms of the expansion are essential, but the value of coefficients for the electric field components depend on details of magnetic field behavior on the boundary. Equations of motion are solved for electrons moving in crossed RF fields near the cavity equator. Based on the analysis of these equations, general features of this kind of multipacting are obtained. Results are compared with simulations and experimental data. The "experimental" formulas for multipacting zones are explained and their dependence on the cavity geometries is shown. Developed approach allows evaluation of multipacting in a cavity without simulations but after an analysis of fields in the equatorial region. The fields can be computed by any code used for cavity calculation.

  In high gradient accelerator structures, such as those used in the main linac of the GLC/NLC, electrons are emitted spontaneously from the structure walls and then move under the influence of the rf fields. In this report we study the behavior of this "dark current" in X-band accelerator structures using a simple particle tracking program and also the particle-in-cell program MAGIC. We address questions such as what is the sensitivity to emission parameters, what fraction of dark current is trapped and reaches to the end of a structure, and what are the temporal, spatial, and spectral distributions of dark current as functions of accelerating gradient.

  The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is an accelerator-based neutron source being built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, by the U.S. Department of Energy. The SNS will provide the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development. CPI is supporting the effort by providing 81 pulsed klystrons for the super-conducting portion of the accelerator. The primary output power requirements are 550 kW peak, 49.5 kW average at 805 MHz, with an electron beam-to-rf conversion efficiency of 65% and an rf gain of 50 dB. Through January 2004, 47 units have been factory-tested. Performance specifications, computer model predictions, operating results, and production statistics will be presented.

  The reduction of the impedance of operational ferrite kicker structures may be desirable in order to avoid rebuilding such a device. Often resistively coated ceramic plates or tubes are installed for this purpose but at the expense of available aperture. Ceramic U-shaped profiles with a resistive coating fitting between the ellipse of the beam and the rectangular kicker aperture have been used to significantly reduce the impedance of the magnet, while having a limited effect on the available physical aperture Details of this method, constraints, measurements and simulation results as well as practical aspects are presented and discussed.

  • M. Meddahi, W. Herr
    CERN, Geneva
  The performance of the proposed trajectory correction scheme for the CNGS proton beam line was checked with an advanced simulation program. It was first investigated whether the scheme will be sufficient, and if some correctors or monitors could be suppressed in order to reduce the cost. The correction scheme was in particular tested for the case of faulty correctors or monitors. Possible critical scenarios were identified, which may not be visible in a purely statistical analysis. This part of the analysis was largely based on the experience with trajectory and orbit correction problems encountered in the SPS and LEP. The simulation of the trajectory correction procedure was done using recently developed software.

  The beta- functions at the IP can be adjusted without perturbation of other optics functions via several approaches. In this paper we describe a scheme based on a vector knob, which assigns fixed values to the different tuning quadrupoles and scales them by a common multiplier. The values for the knob vector were calculated for a lattice without any errors using MADX. Previous studies for the LHC have shown that this approach can meet the design goals. A specific feature of the RHIC lattice is the nested power supply system. To cope with the resulting problems a detailed response matrix analysis has been carried out and different sets of knobs were calculated and compared. The knobs are tested at RHIC during the 2004 run and preliminary results maybe discussed. Simultaneously a new approach to measure the beam sizes of both colliding beams at the IP, based on the tune ability provided by the knobs, was developed and tested.

    PSI, Villigen
  The envisaged current upgrade from 2 to 3 mA of the PSI 590-MeV main cyclotron requires an increase of the global accelerating voltage of the 50-MHz cavities which leads to a nearly unacceptable RF requirement for the 150-MHz flattop cavity. In order to preserve the longitudinal acceptance and transmission of the machine while relaxing the high demands on the flattop system, it is conceivable to install a buncher in the 72-MeV injection line. To this end, normal-conducting 150-MHz half-wave resonators and 500-MHz two-gap drift-tube cavities have been designed and optimised for minimum input power and peak surface fields. The dependence of the RF properties (Q0, shunt impedances and peak fields) with beam apertures and gap voltages compatible with beam-dynamics requirements are presented.

  The S-DALINAC is a 130 MeV superconducting recirculating electron accelerator serving several nuclear and radiation physics experiments as well as driving an infrared free-electron laser. For the experiments an energy stability of 1·10-4 should be reached. Therefore noninvasive beam position monitors will be used to measure the beam energy. For the measurement the different flight time of the electrons to the ideal particle are compared, that means in the simulations the longitudinal dispersion of the beam transport system is used for the energy detection. The results of the simulations show that it is possible to detect an energy difference of 1·10-4 with this method. The results are also proven by measurements.

  Within the IFMIF project (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) a high current D+-linac operated in cw mode has to be developed. The acceleration of a 125 mA D+-beam from 0.1 MeV up to 40 MeV must be performed at an extremely low loss rate (0.1-0.2 microA/m). One optional layout of the acceleration facility consists of a high current ion source, low energy beam transport (LEBT), Radio-Frequency-Quadrupol (RFQ) followed by a superconducting H-type DTL. The matching of the beam between subsequent linac sections has to be carefully optimized to avoid an activation of the structures. Actual beam dynamics simulations for such a linac design including parameter errors of components are reported. Consequences for the LEBT- and RFQ-section are discussed.

    IAP, Frankfurt-am-Main
  High beam currents are necessary for heavy ion driven fusion (HIF) or XADS. To achieve these high beam currents several ion beams are combined at low energies to one beam using the funneling technique. In each stage a r.f. funneling deflector bunches two accelerated beam lines to a common beam axis. The Frankfurt Funneling Experiment is a scaled model of the first stage of a HIF driver consisting of a Two-Beam RFQ accelerator and a funneling deflector. Our two different deflectors have to be enhanced to reduce particle losses during the funneling process. This is done with our new developed 3D simulation software DEFGEN and DEFTRA. DEFGEN generates the structure matrix and the potential distribution matrix with a Laplace 3D-solver. DEFTRA simulates ion beam bunches through the r.f. deflector. The results of the simulations of the two existing deflectors and proposals of new deflector structures will be presented.

  • A. Bogdanov, R. Maier, Y. Senichev

  Development of the tune-up procedure for a linear accelerator is the next important stage after the design is complete. Conventional delta-T procedure developed for tuning of a normal-conducting linear accelerator by Crandall allows setting up of accelerating field amplitude and phase in cavity with known phase velocity. However, application of the delta-T procedure to a superconducting linac meets some difficulties. In particular, the synchronous phase velocity in superconducting linac is determined by RF phase shift between cavities, but not by geometrical size of accelerating cells as in normal conducting linac. Additionally, in superconducting linac the smaller phase advance leads to an insensibility of particles at the cavity exit to the variation of the electric field inside the cavity. In the paper we consider the modified delta-T procedure adjusted for superconducting linac. Numerical simulations prove that by proposed technique both tasks of preservation of necessary stable region motion and providing the beam with required final energy can be successfully solved.

  The SPIRAL 2 project, to be built in GANIL, consists of a 40 MeV linear accelerator for 5 mA of deuterons and a target-source complex for the production of exotic isotopes. The accelerator is also optimised to accelerate q/A = 1/3 ion up to 14.4 MeV/u. The three stages of the linac are a RFQ (up to 0.75 MeV/A), a low beta (0.007) and a high beta (0.12) sections consisting of quarter-wave, 88 MHz superconducting resonators. This paper focuses on the low beta cavity and its cryomodule. The cavity nominal accelerating gradient is at least 6.5 MV/m in operation conditions. RF properties of the cavities are dealt with, as well as the mechanical ones: helium pressure effects, tunability, vibrations. The cryomodule is designed so as to save longitudinal space and therefore is partly assembled in clean room.

  In order to meet the high availability/reliability required by the PDS-XADS design the accelerator needs to implement, to the maximum possible extent, a fault tolerance strategy that would allow beam operation in the presence of most of the envisaged faults that could occur in its beamline components. In this work we report the results of beam dynamics simulations performed to characterize the effects of the faults of the main linac components (cavities, deflecting and focusing magnets, …) on the beam parameters. The outcome of this activity is the definition of the possible corrective and preventive actions that could be conceived (and implemented in the system) in order to guarantee the fault tolerance characteristics of the accelerator.

In this article we report about the preliminary study of a 176 MHz RFQ to be used as an injector for such kind of beams. The structure explored foresees a ?four ladder? symmetric resonator, built in brazed copper. In particular beam dynamics, electrodynamics design and preliminary thermo-structural analysis of the cavity is presented.

  One of the main problem of high intensity accelerators is the presence of high order modes (HOMs) which might degrade the beam quality. Accelerating cavities require HOMs suppression while keeping high quality factor (Q) fundamental mode. Both these requirements can be hardly met in closed metallic cavities. In low frequency cases and for particular geometries it is possible to partially suppress HOMs, but at high frequencies and for superconducting cavities configuration becomes cumbersome and technically unviable. We propose here a high Q cavity based on Photonic Band Gap (PBG) concepts, operating in the microwave region. The cavity consists of a two-dimensional lattice, where posts (dielectric, metallic or superconducting) are sandwiched by two conducting plates. This sandwich exhibits two kinds of frequency bands: 'pass-bands' and 'stop-bands'. It is possible to localize modes in an equivalent cavity obtained by removing posts. These modes are localized in the 'cavity'. In this way, one can obtain a quasi-mono-modal cavity: high Q fundamental mode and HOMs falling into the pass bands. We will present the study, the optimisation and the measurements of our metallic (Copper) PBG structure working in the 2-20 GHz range. The development of a different cryogenic set-up, necessary to characterise an all superconducting or an hybrid (dielectric/metallic) structure, is under way.

  In the J-PARC RCS rf system, since the fundamental rf acceleration voltage and the 2nd higher harmonic one are applied to each cavity, the impedance of hte cavity has a broadband characteristic. The Q-value of the cavity is chosen to make the higher harmonic beam loading effect as small as possible. The analysis of the amplifier and the beam loading effect on the dual harmonic rf system is described.

  L3BT is beam transportation line from the linac to the 3-GeV RCS which is the part of the accelerators for the High-Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility Project, J-PARC. For the requirement of the beam loss minimization, the L3BT does not only connect the linac to the 3GeV RCS, but also modifies the linac beam to the acceptable shape for the 3-GeV RCS. The required beam parameters at the injection point of the RCS are momentum spread < ±0.1% (100%)and transverse emittance < 4pmm.mrad (99%). To achieve these beam qualities, the L3BT should have following functions: momentum compaction, halo scraping and beam diagnostics. In this paper, results of the design and beam simulation of the L3BT are presented.

  The PLS storage ring is a 2.5 GeV light source and the dynamic apertures in a lattice for the low emittance in the ring have been investigated by a simulation method. The dynamic apertures that include effects of machine errors and insertion devices were obtained by a tune survey in the simulation. It was also shown that how large are the dynamic aperture compensated after corrections of a CODs. The betatron tune for the operation of the high-brilliance lattice are investigated based on the view point of dynamic apertures obtained from a tune survey.

  The problem of the magnetic field optimization of a 4T dipole magnet with circular aperture of 100-110 mm for rapid cycling synchrotron is considered. A single layer low inductance coil made of hollow superconducting high current cable operating at 30 kA is used. The magnetic field ramp rate up to 4 T/s should be achievable. Mathematical method to minimize sextupole and higher order non-linearities to the tolerable values by variation of angular coil turn position is developed. The results of numerical simulation for 2D part magnetic field are presented. The further possibilities to improve the field quality for similar lattice magnets and their application for heavy ion synchrotrons and boosters are discussed.

TUPLT137 Comparative Simulation Studies of Electron Cloud Build-up for ISIS and Future Upgrades proton, electron, injection, synchrotron 1446
 
  • G. Bellodi

  Electron cloud effects currently limit the performance of several proton accelerators operating with high beam current. Although ISIS, the 160 kW 70-800 MeV proton synchrotron at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK), has never appeared to be affected by the problem in its 15 years of operations, e-p instabilities could potentially be a cause of concern for future machine upgrades to higher beam powers. In this paper we review the present status of simulations for ISIS and compare it to preliminary results for two upgrade options: a 0.5MW 180-800 MeV scheme and a 1MW 0.8-3 GeV scheme with an additional synchrotron using ISIS as a booster (see C. Prior et al., ISIS megawatt upgrade plans, in Proceedings of the 2003 Particle Accelerator Conference PAC 2003, Portland, Or, USA).

  The ISIS H minus ion source is currently being developed on the Ion Source Development Rig (ISDR) at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in order to meet the requirements for the next generation of high power proton drivers. One key development goal is to increase the pulse width and duty cycle, but this has a significant effect on ion source temperatures if no other changes are made. A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model has been produced to understand the steady state and dynamic thermal behavior of the source, and to investigate the design changes necessary to offset the extra heating.

  • C.M. Warsop

  The ISIS Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK produces intense neutron and muon beams for condensed matter research. The ISIS 800 MeV Proton Synchrotron presently provides up to 2.5·1013 protons per pulse at 50 Hz, corresponding to a mean power of 160 kW. A dual harmonic RF system upgrade is expected to increase the intensity and power by about 50%. The tighter constraints expected for higher intensity running are motivating a detailed study of beam loss distributions and the main factors affecting their control. Main aims are maximising the localisation of activation in the collector straight, and minimising risk of damage to machine components. The combination of experimental work, developments of the loss measurement systems, and simulation studies are summarised. Key factors considered include: the effects of primary collector geometry and material; the nature of the beam loss; and methods for experimentally determining spatial loss distributions.

TUPLT146 Techniques to Extract Physical Modes in Model-independent Analysis of Rings betatron, synchrotron, coupling, storage-ring 1473
 
  • C.-X. Wang
    ANL, Argonne, Illinois
  SVD mode analysis is a basic techinique in Model-Independent Analysis of beam dynamics. It decomposes the spatial-temporal variation of a beam centroid into a small set of orthogonal modes based on statistical analysis. Although such modes have been proven to be rather informative, each orthogonal mode may not correspond to an individual physical source but a mix of several in order to be orthogonal. Such mixing makes it difficult to quantitatively understand the SVD modes and thus limits their usefulness. Here we report a new techinique to untangle the mixed modes in storage ring analysis based on the fact that most of the physical modes in a ring have identifiable characteristics in frequency domain.

  • M. Huening, G.W. Foster

  Fermilab is investigating the feasibility of an economical 8 GeV superconducting linac for H-. In order to reduce the construction costs it is considered to fan out the rf power to a string of accelerating structures per klystron. Below 1 GeV the individual fluctuations of the cavities will be compensated by high power phase shifters, above 1 GeV the longitudinal dynamics are sufficiently damped to consider omitting the phaseshifters. The impact of this setup on the field stability of individual cavities and ultimately the beam energy has been studied.

  • R. Bhatt, C. Chen, J. Zhou
    MIT/PSFC, Cambridge, Massachusetts
  A persistent challenge in high-intensity accelerator design is the optimization of matching conditions between a beam injector and a focusing system in order to minimize non-laminar flows, envelope oscillations, emittance growth, and halo production. It has been shown [*] that the fluid motion of a thin space-charge dominated beam propagating through a linear magnetic focusing channel consisting of any combination of uniform or periodic solenoidal fields and alternating gradient quadrupole fields can be solved by a general class of corkscrewing elliptic beam equilibria. The present work extends this discussion to asymmetric PPM focusing and derives conditions under which a uniform density elliptical beam can be matched to such a focusing channel by considering the fluid equilibrium in the paraxial limit. Methods of constructing such a beam are also discussed, with particular attention devoted to analytic electrode design for Pierce-type gun diodes of elliptical cross-section. Several applications are discussed, including heavy-ion fusion and a high-efficiency ribbon beam microwave amplifier for accelerator applications.

  Present operations at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator use a surface conversion source to provide 80-keV, 16 to 18-mA H- beams with typical rms normalized emittance of 0.13 (pmm-mrad). Operational flexibility of the 800-MeV linac and proton storage ring will be increased by a higher current H- source. The present goal is to achieve a 25-mA H- surface converter source with modest (10-20%) emittance increase without sacrificing the present LANSCE production source 12% df and 28 day lifetime. The LANSCE 80-kV ion source test stand (ISTS) has been brought into reliable 24-hour per day operation with computer control and modern electronics. A fourth production source has been fabricated, and is now operating on the ISTS. H- currents up to 25mA have been observed with 0.15 to 0.18(pmm-mrad) rms normalized emittances. An experimental study of surface converter geometries and electron filters at the emitter electrode are planned to optimize source current and emittance.  
 
TUPLT162 Computation of the Longitudinal Space Charge Effect in Photoinjectors linac, space-charge, laser, bunching 1506

  The LCLS Photoinjector produces a 100A, 10 ps long electron bunch which is later compressed down to 100 fs to produce the peak current required for producing SASE radiation. SASE saturation will be reached in the LCLS only if the emittance and uncorrelated energy spread remain respectively below 1.2 mm.mrad and 5. 10-4. This high beam quality will not be met if the Longitudinal Space Charge (LSC) instability develops in the injector and gets amplified in the compressors. The Longitudinal Space Charge instability originates in the injector beamline, from an initial modulation of the current density. Numerical computations, performed with Multiparticle Space Charge tracking codes, showing the evolution of the longitudinal phase space along the LCLS Photoinjector beamline, are presented. Those results are compared with an analytical model for various regimes of energy and acceleration. This study justifies the necessity to insert a "laser heater" in the LCLS Photoinjector beamline to warm up the beam and thus prevent the amplification of the LSC instability in the compressors. Numerical calculations of the 'laser heater' performances are presented.

  A pre-existing PARMELA model of the CEBAF injector has been recently verified using machine survey data and also extended to 60 MeV region. The initial distribution and temperature of an electron bunch are determined by the photocathode laser spot size and emittance measurements. The improved injector model has been used for extensive computer simulations of the simultaneous delivery of the Hall A beam required for a hypernuclear experiment, and the Hall C beam, required for a parity experiment. The Hall C beam requires a factor of 6 higher bunch charge than the Hall A beam, with significantly increased space charge effects, while the Hall A beam has an exceedingly stringent energy spread requirement of 2.5x 10-5 rms. Measurements of the beam properties of both beams at several energies (100 keV, 500 keV, 5 MeV, 60 MeV) and several values of the bunch charge were performed using the standard quad-wire scanner technique. Comparisons of simulated particle transmission rate, longitudinal beam size, transverse emittance and twiss parameters, and energy spread against experimental data yield reasonably good agreement. The model is being used for searching for optimal setting of the CEBAF injector.

  As SNS undergoes construction, many detailed questions arise concerning strategies for commissioning and operating the accumulator ring. The ORBIT Code is proving to be an indispensible tool for addressing these questions and for providing guidance to the physicists and decision makers as operation draws near. This paper shows the application of ORBIT to a number of ring issues including exclusion of the HEBT RF cavities during commissioning, the detailed effect of the injection chicane magnets on the beam, the effects and correction of magnet alignment and multipole errors, debunching of the linac 402.5 MHz beam structure, the injection of self consistent uniform beam configurations, and initial electron cloud simulations.

  A series of emittance measurements were performed at the end of Drift Tube Linac tank 1 of the Spallation Neutron Source to verify experimentally the previously proposed halo generation mechanism and its mitigation schemes [1]. The emittance measurements clearly showed a visible reduction in the halo as well as a significant reduction in the rms emittance when the proposed round beam optics is employed. This confirms experimentally the halo generation mechanism we identified.

  Radiation protection survey around CERN's High Energy Accelerators represents a major technical and physical challenge due to the pulsed and complexity of the mixed radiation fields. The fields are composed of hadrons, leptons and photons ranging in energy from fractions of eV to several 10 GeV. In preparation of the implementation of a Radiation Monitoring System for the Environment and Safety (RAMSES) of the future Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its injectors comprehensive studies were performed to evaluate the suitability of different existing monitors for this task. Different ionization chambers were exposed to short, high-intensity radiation pulses and their saturation levels for high dose rates determined. Limiting factors such as recombination effects and the capacity of the electronics to process a high number of charges within very short time were studied in detail. These results are being used to optimize the design of the read-out electronics. In additional studies, the response of two different types of ionization chambers to high-energy radiation was investigated by measurements in the mixed radiation fields of the CERN EU high-energy Reference Field (CERF) facility. The results of the experiments agreed well with calculations, clearly demonstrating that modern Monte-Carlo simulation techniques can be used to design radiation monitors and to optimize their performance.

  Many recent accelerator projects call for the production of high energy bunches of electrons or positrons that are simultaneously short, intense, and have small emittances. Two examples of such projects are linear colliders, such as the GLC/NLC, and Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) FEL's, such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). A major challenge in such projects is keeping in check forces that increase short bunch emittances in accelerator components, such as: wakefields of accelerator structures, collimators, and surface roughness, and coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). We describe such forces and their control.

  Significant progress in the detailed computational study of collective beam dynamics is being driven by the spectacular increase in computer power. To take advantage of this, sophisticated physics models are being applied to ever more realistic and detailed situations, so that it is no longer necessary to restrict computer studies to highly idealized depictions of beam dynamics questions. This presentation will illustrate the application of a number of collective beam dynamics models to a range of accelerator physics problems in high intensity proton rings. In particular, we will consider the effects of space charge, transverse and longitudinal impedances, and electron cloud formation on beam parameters, stability, halo formation, collimation and losses, and possible equilibrium configurations. Examples will be taken from PSR, the CERN PS Ring, and SNS.

  The Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron. In this work, we describe the design of the magnetic quadrupole lenses for the IFUSP microtron. The design consists of a laminar structure divided in four equal pieces. Because each piece corresponds to an individual pole, it eases the assembling of the coils and the installation of the quadrupole on the beam transport line without breaking the vacuum. Due to the fact that the quadrupole is laminated along the longitudinal axis, it is possible to change the length of a given lens by adding or subtracting foils. We also present the magnetic field distribution calculated using the POISSON code. A prototype presented good mechanical rigidity and thermal performance, showing that a refrigeration system is not necessary. The magnetic measurements show that the field distribution within the region of interest agrees with the POISSON simulation.

  In the Large Hadron Collider 1232 superconducting dipoles will bend the two 7 TeV energy beams along a 27 km-circumference trajectory. The series production (assigned to three European firms) will require a well-defined procedure to check, in every magnet, the respect of the dimensional specifications. To verify the tolerances of few tenths of millimeter over the 15-meter length in each cold mass, a laser tracker is necessarily used. To access the two beam apertures and to increase the measurement accuracies, the laser tracker is placed in different stations around the dipole defining a 'multi-station measuring procedure'. The noise affecting all the data taken so far suggested a careful analysis of the procedure itself. Through the computer modeling (based on a Monte Carlo algorithm), the statistical error was quantified and compared to the experimental error. From this comparison the critical aspects of low accuracy rooted in the multi-station procedure were better understood, allowing the optimization of the procedure itself for the forthcoming series production.

  A super strong magnet, which utilizes permanent magnet material and saturated iron, is considered as a candidate for the final focus quadrupole in a linear collider beamline. This modified Halbach magnet configuration can have a higher magnetic field gradient than a normal permanent magnet quadrupole (PMQ) or electromagnet. There are some issues to be solved if a PMQ is to be used as a final focus quadrupole: the variation of its strength with temperature and the need for the field strength to be deliberately changed. One can use special temperature compensation material to improve the temperature dependence with just a small decrease in field gradient compared to a magnet without temperature compensation. The required field variability can be obtained by slicing the magnet into pieces along the beamline direction and rotating these slices. Results of performance measurements on the PMQ with variable strength will be reported including the realization of the temperature compensation technique.

  A new synchrotron facility is being designed for the acceleration of high intensity and high-energy ion and proton beams at GSI, Darmstadt. The main magnetic elements of the second stage (SIS300) are superconducting dipoles with 100 mm aperture, 6-T magnetic field amplitude, and 1 T/s field ramp rate. The main requirements for these magnets, in addition to high field quality, are minimal heat losses, both in the coil and in the iron yoke, at an acceptable temperature margin. An increase of the temperature margin can be achieved by increasing the volume of superconductor in the cable. However, increasing the number of strands in the cable results in a growth of the cable width. Since coupling losses in the cable are proportional to the fourth power of cable width, these losses rise dramatically. This presentation considers and analyses different ways of reducing these cable heat losses. The calculated results of heat losses for different geometries, based on various cable designs, as well as the parameters of optimal cable designs, based on computer simulations, are presented.

  The dipole with a coil made from HTS composite on a Bi2223 basis and placed in the ferromagnetic yoke has been developed and produced in IHEP. A designed magnetic field of the dipole in 20-mm aperture is 1 T at temperature of liquid nitrogen. The numerical analysis of factors, having influence on thermal stability of the magnet, as well as the computer simulations of dipole heating during quench was carried out. An anisotropy of voltage-current characteristics of HTS tapes in a magnetic field is taken into account in calculations of quench process. The measured results of voltage-current characteristics during powering and quench of the coil are in a good agreement with the numerical calculations

The computer simulation of the heating of superconducting dipoles and cooling helium during the SIS300 operating cycle was carried out. The analysis of stability is based on the numerical solution of the heat balance equation in the coil and in a single?phase helium flow. Temperature margin of the superconducting dipole during the SIS300 operating cycle was calculated. Possible ways to increase the temperature margin are discussed.  
 
WEPKF081 Prototype Development Progress toward a 500kV Solid State Marx Modulator klystron, cathode, linac, linear-collider 1792
 
  • G. Leyh
    SLAC, Menlo Park, California
  Recent advances in high voltage IGBT capabilities have made possible a range of novel solid-state modulator concepts that were unthinkable a decade ago. At present, there are two prototype solid-state modulator designs under evaluation at SLAC – A conventional pulse-transformer design using an 80kV solid-state switch in place of a thyratron, and an 'induction modulator', which uses a stack of magnetic cores to couple many paralleled primary windings to a common secondary winding. Both of these prototype modulators are currently driving actual klystron loads at SLAC. Another promising solid-state modulator concept still in the early stages of development is the Marx configuration – where an array of stacked modules generates high-voltage output pulses directly from a low DC input supply voltage. This scheme eliminates the large and costly magnetic cores inherent in the other two designs, resulting in a considerably simpler and cheaper mechanical solution. The main disadvantage to this approach is that the individual Marx sections must float at high voltages, complicating the distribution of power and timing signals. Several research groups have produced limited scale Marx prototypes in recent years. The largest prototype built to date [DTI] generates an output pulse of approximately 50kV, with plans to eventually move to higher voltage levels. This paper examines in closer detail the practical advantages and pitfalls of a solid-state Marx configuration, and explores a design approach with emphasis on performance, wall-plug efficiency, cost of manufacture, availability and ease of service. The paper presents electrical diagrams, mechanical CAD layout and preliminary prototype test data.

  BNL is responsible for the design and construction of the US Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accumulator ring. Titanium Nitride(TiN) coating on the stainless steel vacuum chamber of the SNS accumulator ring is needed to reduce undesirable resonant multiplication of electrons. The Secondary Electron Yield(SEY) of TiN coated chamber material has been measured after coated samples were exposed to air and after electron and ion conditioning. We are reporting about the TiN coating system setup at BNL and SEY measurements results performed at CERN, SLAC and KEK. We also present updated electron-cloud simulation results for the SNS accumulator assuming different SEY values.

    CANDLE, Yerevan
  In this paper, we present description of MATLAB based computer code, which allows tracking of single particles by numerical integration of Hamilton's equations. For storage rings the damping time is of the order of few ms (102 '104 turns) and therefore the short-term stability time is determinant. For this reason symplecticity condition of the tracking method for the electron machines is not as important as in hadron machines. Applying recently introduced modern tools for post process analyzing, such as interpolated FFT, early indicators for long term stability, the determination of the onset of chaotic behavior using the maximal Lyapunov exponent, and etc, one can carry out simulations to evaluate the dynamic aperture, amplitude dependent tunes, phase space distortions, nonlinear resonances etc. The proposed code is applied for beam nonlinear dynamics study in CANDLE storage ring.

  The emittance growth caused by an electron cloud is simulated by the HEADTAIL code. The simulation result depends on the number of beam-cloud "interaction points"(IPs), the phase advance between the IPs, the number of macro-particles used to represent beam and cloud, and on the betatron tune. Simulations include a transverse feedback system and, optionally, a large chromaticity, as employed in actual SPS operation. Simulation results for the SPS are compared with observations, and the emittance growth in the LHC is computed as a function of the average electron density.  
 
WEPLT009 Dynamics of the Electron Pinch and Incoherent Tune Shift Induced by Electron Cloud electron, proton, injection, focusing 1834
 
  • E. Benedetto, F. Zimmermann
    CERN, Geneva
  When a proton bunch passes through an electron cloud, the cloud electrons are attracted by the beam electric field; their density strongly increases near the beam centre. This gives rise to an incoherent proton tune shift, which depends on the longitudinal and radial position within the bunch. We present an analytical description of the 'electron pinch' and the resulting proton tune shift, for a circular symmetry and a Gaussian cloud. Benchmarking and extending the results by computer simulations, we explore the effects of different longitudinal beam profiles and of the nonlinear transverse force.

  • C. Bertone, I. Ruehl
    CERN, Geneva
  The LHC project, collider and experiments, is an assembly of thousands of elements, large or small, heavy or light, fragile. Every one of those has own transport requirements that constituting for us a real challenge to handle. The manoeuvres could be simple, but the complex environment and narrow underground spaces may lead to difficulties in integration, routing and execution. Examples of transport and handling of typical LHC elements will be detailed: the 17m long, 35t heavy but fragile cryomagnets from the surface to the final destination in the tunnel, the delicate cryogenic cold-boxes down to pits and detector components. This challenge did not only require a lot of imagination but also the close cooperation between all involved parties, in particular with colleagues from safety, cryogenics, civil engineering, integration and logistics.

  About 1700 LHC main superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles will have to be transported and handled between the assembly, the magnet measurements and the storage that precedes the final installation in the LHC tunnel. To ensure the required mechanic and geometric integrity of the cryo-magnets, transport specifications and allowed acceleration loads were defined after detailed dynamic analysis. A large number of cryo-magnets are now arriving at CERN on a regular basis. The logistics for the handling and transport are monitored with tri-axial acceleration monitoring devices that are installed on each cryo-magnet. Measurements are made to commission new equipment like overhead cranes, tunnel transport and handling devices to guarantee that the defined acceleration limits are respected. The results from the acceleration monitoring that are stored in the same quality assurance system as the cryo-magnets allowed to give a first idea of the level of the mechanical dynamic load on each magnet throughout the logistics chain and were used to detect details such as out-of-specification accelerations that needed improvement.

  • K. Foraz, B. Nicquevert, D. Tommasini
    CERN, Geneva
  The particles traveling in the Large Hadron Collider are guided by superconducting magnets. The main magnets (cryodipoles) are 16 m long, 30 tons objects placed with accuracies of few tenths of mm and therefore imposing challenging requirements for handling and transportation. Numerous contracts are constraining the production and installation of these cryodipoles. These contracts have been rated according to the baseline schedule, based on a "just in time" scheme. However the complexity of the construction and the time required to fully test the cryodipoles before installation in the LHC required to decouple as much as possible each contract from the others' evolutions and imposed temporary storage between different assembly and test steps. Therefore a tool simulating the logistics was created in order to determine the number of cryodipoles to store at the various stages of their production. In this paper the organization of cryodipole flow and the main challenges of logistics are analyzed on the basis of the planning of each main step before installation. Finally the solutions implemented for storage, handling and transportation are presented and discussed.  
 
WEPLT018 Nonlinear Dynamics Studies at the CERN Proton Synchrotron: Precise Measurements of Islands Parameters for the Novel Multi-turn Extraction extraction, resonance, octupole, proton 1861
 
  • M. Giovannozzi, P. Scaramuzzi
    CERN, Geneva
  Recently, a novel approach to perform multi-turn extraction from a circular accelerator was proposed. It is based on adiabatic capture of particles into islands of transverse phase space generated by nonlinear resonances. Sextupole and octupole magnets are used to generate these islands, while an appropriate slow variation of the linear tune allows particles to be trapped inside the islands. Intense experimental efforts showed that the approach is indeed performing rather well. However, good knowledge of the islands properties is a key ingredient for the success of this extraction type. In this paper, a series of measurements are presented dealing with the study of islands' parameters for the fourth-order resonance, such as detuning with amplitude, fixed points' position, betatron frequency, as well as detuning with amplitude inside the islands.

  For the high brilliance LHC ultimate beam and the high intensity CNGS beam, single batch injections into the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) will be used to increase the overall machine intensity compared with the present double batch injections. Charge-exchange injection into the PS Booster with a new linac at intermediate energies is thus examined. A key parameter to consider is the energy dependence of beam incoherent tune shifts at injection. Increasing the linac energy from the present 50 MeV to 160 MeV should yield a safer tune shift. For each PS Booster ring, a charge-exchange injection scheme is envisaged inside a proper straight section, redesigned with new bends to make a local bump and using the existing fast bump magnets for horizontal phase-space painting. ACCSIM simulations for charge-exchange injection at 160 MeV have been investigated for both LHC and CNGS beams. After optimizing the parameters that are used for the space charge tracking routines, the results of the simulations agree well with expectations, signifying that the LHC ultimate and CNGS beams may be provided with single PS Booster batches within the required emittances. For assessment, simulation of injection at 50 MeV for the current LHC beam has been performed, yielding a fairly good agreement with measured performance. Concurrently, similar charge-exchange injection simulations have been carried out using an alternative programme developed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

  An intensive study has been undertaken since the year 2002 to understand better the various high-intensity bottlenecks of the CERN Proton Synchrotron machine. One of these limitations comes from the so-called Montague resonance. High-intensity proton synchrotrons, having larger horizontal than vertical emittance, may suffer from this fourth-order coupling resonance driven by space charge only. In particular, such resonance may lead to emittance sharing and, possibly, beam loss due to vertical acceptance limitation. Experimental observations made in the 2002 and 2003 runs on the Montague resonance are presented in this paper and compared with 3D particle-in-cell simulation results and theoretical predictions.  
 
WEPLT035 Capture Loss of the LHC Beam in the CERN SPS injection, beam-losses, impedance, feedback 1906
 
  • E.N. Shaposhnikova, T. Bohl, T.P.R. Linnecar, J. Tuckmantel
    CERN, Geneva
  The matched voltage of the LHC beam at injection into the SPS is 750 kV. However, even with RF feedback and feed forward systems in operation, the relative particle losses on the flat bottom for nominal LHC parameters with this capture voltage can reach the 30% level. With voltages as high as 2 MV these losses are still around 15% pushing the intensity in the SPS injectors to the limit to obtain nominal intensity beam for the LHC. Beam losses grow with intensity and are always asymmetric in energy (lost particles are seen main in front of the batch). The asymmetry can be explained by the energy loss of particles due to the SPS impedance which is also responsible for a non-zero synchronous phase on the flat bottom leading to large gaps between buckets. In this paper the measurements of the dependence of particles loss on the beam and machine parameters are presented and discussed together with possible loss mechanisms.

  High brightness and high intensity beams are required from the PS Booster for LHC, CNGS and ISOLDE operation. The large space charge tune spreads associated with these beams, especially at injection, require an optimized resonance compensation scheme to avoid beam blow-up and subsequent beam losses. For this a detailed knowledge on strength and phase of resonance driving terms is needed. A new measurement system has been installed to determine resonance driving terms from turn-by-turn bpm data using fast Fourier transform. The multi-turn acquisition system as well as the specific measurement conditions at the PS Booster are discussed. As an example, the measurement and compensation of the linear coupling resonance driving term is presented. Excellent agreement between measurement and simulation for resonance phase and strength was found.  
 
WEPLT043 Detecting Failures in Electrical Circuits Leading to Very Fast Beam Losses in the LHC extraction, beam-losses, insertion, septum 1930
 
  • M. Zerlauth, B. Goddard, V. Kain, R. Schmidt
    CERN, Geneva
  Depending on the beam optics, failures in the magnet powering at locations with large beta functions could lead to very fast beam losses at the collimators, possibly within less than 10 turns. Beam loss monitors would normally detect such losses and trigger a beam dump. However, the available time for detection with beam loss monitors before reaching the damage level of a collimator might not be sufficient, in particular for beams with few particles in the tails. This has always been of concern and becomes even more relevant since very fast losses have been observed recently at HERA. In this paper, we present particle tracking studies for the LHC to identify failures on critical magnets. We propose a fast detection of such failures in the electrical circuit, either with highly precise hall probes for current measurement or measurements of the induced inductive voltage during the current decay. In combination with a small and simple interlock electronics such detection system can provide reliable and fast interlock signals for critical magnets in the LHC main ring but could also be used to monitor injection and extraction magnets. Depending on the properties of the electrical circuit an increase of the natural time constant of the current decay using a serial superconducting magnet is also considered.

  We compare the predications of electron-cloud build-up simulations with measurements at the CERN SPS. Specifically, we compare the electron flux at the wall, electron-energy spectra, heat loads, and the spatial distribution of the electrons for two different bunch spacings, with variable magnetic fields, and for several chamber temperatures and associated surface conditions. The simulations employ a modified, improved version of the ECLOUD code. The main changes are briefly described. We finally present updated simulation results for the heat load in the cold LHC arcs.

  • F. Zimmermann, J.-P. Koutchouk, J. Wenninger
    CERN, Geneva
  Long-range beam-beam collisions may limit the dynamic aperture and the beam lifetime in storage-ring colliders. Their effect can be compensated by a current-carrying wire mounted parallel to the beam. A compensation scheme based on this principle has been proposed for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). To demonstrate its viability, a prototype wire was installed at the CERN SPS in 2002. First successful machine experiments explored the dependence of beam loss, beam size, and beam lifetime on the beam-wire distance and on the wire excitation. They appear to confirm the predicted effect of the long-range collisions on the beam dynamics. In 2004, two further wires will become available, by which we can explicitly demonstrate the compensation, study pertinent tolerances, and also compare the respective merits of different beam-beam crossing schemes for several interaction points.

  A significant increase of the beam intensity increase of the PSI 590 MeV proton accelerator facility above 2 mA requires a higher accelerating voltage in the main RF cavities. A corresponding increase of the voltage in the flattop cavity would result in a complete rebuild of this device. As an alternative, a scheme with a strong buncher in the 72 MeV beam transfer line is being studied. The goal is to restore the narrow phase width (~ 2 deg/RF at 50 MHz) of the beam bunches observed at extraction from Injector 2 at injection into the Ring Cyclotron. If we can find and inject a stable particle distribution, as done in the Injector 2, the flat-top cavity might eventually be decommissioned. First results of multi particle tracking in full 6 dimensional phase space with space charge are presented.

  In the SIS-18 of GSI a new set of skew quadrupoles has been installed to improve the multi-turn-injection. A new method based on the measurement of the resonance driving terms has been proposed to cross-check the nominal values and polarities of their gradients. Once a beam is transversely kicked, it experiences oscillations whose spectrum contains both the betatron tune line and secondary lines. The amplitude of each line is proportional to the strength of the multipoles, such as skew quadrupoles and sextupoles, present in the lattice. In this paper a recursive algorithm to derive the magnet strength from the spectral lines and the application of this method to the eight skew quadrupoles in the SIS-18 are presented.

  In high-intensity accelerators emittance coupling, known as Montague resonance, may be an issue if the tune split is small. For static tunes within the stop-band of this fourth order space charge driven coupling the final emittances may become equal (equipartition). Using 2D computer simulation we show, however, that slow crossing of the resonance leads to merely an exchange of emittances. In 3D this is similar, if the crossing occurs over a time-scale shorter or comparable with a synchrotron period. For much slower crossing we find, instead, that the exchange may be suppressed by synchrotron motion. We explain this effect in terms of the mixing caused by the synchrotron motion.

  Electrons could in principle accumulate in the potential of coasting beams of positively charged particles until a balance between the beam force and space charge force from the electrons is reached. But the continuous interaction between a non-ideal perturbed coasting beam and the cloud of electrons being trapped by it, together with the reflection and secondary emission processes at the inner pipe wall, can alter this picture and cause a combined cloud or beam transverse instability long before the concentration of electrons reaches the theoretical equilibrium value. The issue is addressed in this paper by means of combined build-up and instability simulations carried out with the HEADTAIL code.

  The High Energy Storage Ring HESR is part of the "International Accelerator Facility for Ion and Antiproton Beams" proposed at GSI. For internal target experiments with antiproton beams in the energy range 0.8 GeV to 14.5 GeV a maximum luminosity of 5 inverse nbarn per second and a momentum resolution on the order of 10 ppm have to be attained. Electron cooling is assumed to be the most effective way to counteract beam heating due to target effects and intra-beam scattering. Cooling times and equilibrium parameters have been determined by means of three different computer codes: BETACOOL, MOCAC, and PTARGET. The results reveal that the development of fast, "magnetized" electron cooling with beam currents of up to 1 A and variable electron energies of up to 8 MeV in an extremely homogeneous longitudinal magnetic field of up to 0.5 T is crucial to achieve the required equilibrium beam parameters over the envisaged range of antiproton energies.

  It is planned to use linear coupling in the SIS18 in order to fully or partially equilibrate the transverse emittances before transfer to the projected SIS100 synchrotron. In this paper we show that space charge significantly modifies the coupling mechanism. In particular the width of the stop-band is dominated by the space charge tune shift for weak skew strength. The conditions are discussed, under which slow crossing of the coupling resonance leads to the desired goal of equalizing emittances while maintaining a sufficient matching of the beam to the ring and extraction optics.

    TEMF, Darmstadt
  For detailed analysis of space charge dominated beams inside an RF Photoinjector PIC-Codes like MAFIA TS2/3 can be used. While the interaction of particles with the sourrounding geometries are taken into account, the applicability of such codes is restricted due to simulation time and memory consumption as well as by numercial noise. Therefore only smaller sections of the whole injector can be calculated. On the other hand codes like ASTRA can be used to simulate the whole injector but no interaction between bunch and geometry is included. To make use of the individual advantages of each code discribed above an interface for bidirectional bunch exchange between the two programs has been implemented. This approach allows for applying the right simulation method depending on the physical effects under investigation. To demonstrate the importance of such an approach the results of detailed numerical studies of the impact of beam tube obstacles like the laser mirror on the achievable emittance of the PITZ RF Photoinjector further downstream will be presented.  
 
WEPLT063 Investigation of Cavity Induced Longitudinal Coupled Bunch Mode Instability Behaviour and Mechanisms damping, synchrotron, storage-ring, radiation 1990

    DELTA, Dortmund
  The narrowband impedances of RF-resonators in a circular accelerator can drive coupled bunch mode - CBI - instabilities which might spoil the overall beam quality. Often, as in synchrotron radiation light sources e.g. the instability does not lead to beam loss but to a severe degradation of the source brilliance. Investigations of longitudinal CBIs have been performed at the DELTA storage ring with a single DORIS-type cavity for future comparision with the behaviour of a HOM-damped cavity to be tested at DELTA. This resonator is presently developed and built within an EU-collaboration. The beam was deliberately driven into instability using the beam current as well as the cavity temperature as individual parameters. The instability characterisations at low (542 MeV) and high (1,5 GeV) energy exhibit a complex behaviour. The strength of the instability measured by the bunch excursions in the case of longitudinal CBIs, but also the spreading of the instability across neighbouring modes depends on parameters such as beam energy, resonant impedance but also on counteracting mechanisms like synchrotron radiation and Landau damping. The paper will cover the experimental results together with estimations of the influence and mechanism of Landau damping.

  Wet water cooling towers in high energy physics accelerators are state of the art. The advantages are robustness, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. The return water temperature is lower than the air temperature due to cooling via evaporation. The disadvantages are the high water consumption, which becomes more costly in the future, and the soiling of the heat exchangers. If the water source is taken from wells then the drawdown of the ground water level has to be taken into account. DESY plans to use hybrid dry coolers for the two future projects: The XFEL linac and the PETRA 3 synchrotron light source. A hybrid dry cooler is a combination of a dry air cooler during cold and moderate seasons and additional wet cooling during the hot summer season. The cooling surface is wetted by adding water to increase the cooling capability by a factor of 250 %. The hybrid dry cooler saves a lot of water. The water consumption can be reduced by 70% compared to a wet cooling system. This contribution presents the auxiliary water consumption, the requirement of this water and an estimate of the temperature control behaviour of the hybrid dry cooling system.  
 
WEPLT067 Space Charge Problem in Low Energy Super-conducting Accelerator focusing, space-charge, linac, resonance 2002
 
  • N.E. Vasyukhin, R. Maier, Y. Senichev
    FZJ/IKP, Jülich
  At present the super-conducting option of linear accelerators is considered for low energy, and new type of RF cavities is considered for this purpose. However, together with electrodynamics problems we should solve the transverse stability problem, since in structures with external focusing elements the focusing period is longer, and in higher accelerating field the defocusing factor increases as well. In this paper we consider the transverse stability problem, taking into account the non-linear space charge problem. The fundamental mechanism of hallo creation in super-conducting linear accelerators is investigated to minimize the particle losses. The theoretical results are supported by numerical simulation.  
 
WEPLT073 VDHL Design and Simulation of a Fast Beam Loss Interlock for TTF2 beam-losses, single-bunch, linac, electron 2020

  The TTF2 fast beam loss interlock provides different modes of protection. Based on the differential beam charge monitoring over a macropulse, a pulse slice or bunch-by-bunch, the signal processing time should be as short as the bunch repetition period (110 ns). The signal delivered by the toroid-like inductive current transformer always shows an envelope droop due to its self-inductance to resistance ratio. When the macropulse length is comparable to this ratio, the charge of each bunch must be derived from the difference of the top to the bottom level on the signal. This necessity combined to the various protection modes leads to a digital implementation. All the processing functionalities are designed with VHDL for a Xilinx FPGA. Because the interlock involves other control signals in addition to the toroid signal with specific shapes, which cannot be easily reproduced for the design validation before the TTF2 completion, VHDL provides meanwhile the possibility for an exhaustive validation of the system with a software test bench including all timing information.  
 
WEPLT077 DESIGN OF A FULL-CUSTOM ACCURATE I-Q MODULATOR impedance, radio-frequency, coupling, insertion 2029
 
  • M. Luong, M. Desmons
    CEA/DSM/DAPNIA, Gif-sur-Yvette
  The I-Q modulator is a key component in a digital Low Level RF (LLRF) system for amplitude and phase feedbacks. Its residual errors in offset or gain have a strong impact on the dynamic and accuracy of the feedback loops. For some frequencies, commercial I-Q modulators are available on the market. But even in that case, these components are usually designed for broadband communication purposes, and their performances in term of residual errors may not fit the strict requirements on the final amplitude and phase loop stability. Since LLRF systems for accelerators are typically narrow-banded, i.e. limited to few MHz, it is possible to achieve a high directivity and a very accurate coupling for hybrids, and an excellent matching for all subcomponents in a fully custom design. This approach guarantees the lowest residual errors for an I-Q modulator. The principle for the design and the process for the optimization are presented in this paper.  
 
WEPLT078 The IFMIF High Energy Beam Transport Line target, linac, octupole, space-charge 2032
 
  • D. Uriot, R. Duperrier, J. Payet
    CEA/DSM/DAPNIA, Gif-sur-Yvette
  The IFMIF project (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) requests two linacs designed to accelerate 125 mA deuteron beams up to 40 MeV. The linac has to work in CW mode and uses one RFQ and 10 DTL tanks. After extraction and transport, the deuteron beams with strong internal space charge forces have to be bunched, accelerated and transported to target for the production of high neutron flux. This paper presents the high energy beam transport line which provides a flat rectangular beam profile on the liquid lithium target. Transverse uniformisation is obtained by using non-linear mutipole lenses (octupoles and duodecapoles). Beam dynamics with and without errors has been study.

  The formation of the beam halo in charged particle accelerators is studied in a dynamical stochastic model for the collective motion of the particle beam. The density and the phase of the charged beam obey a set of coupled nonlinear hydrodynamic equations with time-reversal invariance. The linearized theory for this collective dynamics is given in terms of a classical Schroedinger equation. Self-consistent solutions with space-charge effects lead to quasi-stationary beam configurations with enhanced transverse dispersion and transverse emittance growth. In the limit of a frozen space-charge core it is possible to determine and study the properties of stationary, stable core-plus-halo beam distributions. We explore the effect of non-Gaussian transverse distributions. In this case the underling stochastic process is allowed to jump, and the transverse distribution tails are heavier than in the Gaussian case giving rise to a halo effect. The stationary transverse distribution plays the role of an attractor for every other distribution, and we give an estimation of the time needed by a non stationary, halo-free distribution to relax toward the stationary distribution with a halo.

  Frequency map analysis is a very efficient technique for the understanding of the resonances which may affect the stability of the electrons. Measurements correlated to simulations can provide a method to improve beam lifetime and injection efficiency that is particulary important in the case of top up operation. In this paper, the results of frequency map measurements and simulations for the ELETTRA storage ring are presented both for the bare lattice as well as for the case in which insertion devices are operational.

  In this paper we describe the impact of the beam loading in the RF deflectors on the transverse beam dynamics of the CTF3 Delay Loop. The general expression for the single passage wake field is obtained. A dedicated tracking code has been written to study the multi-bunch multi-turn effects on the transverse beam dynamics. A complete analysis for different machine parameters and injection errors is presented and discussed. The numerical simulations show that the beam emittance growth due to the wake field in the RF deflectors is small.

  In the HIMAC synchrotron, the electron cooling experiments have been carried out since 2000 in order to develop new technologies in heavy-ion therapy and related research. Among of them, especially, the cool-stacking method has been studied to increase the intensity of heavy ions such as Fe and Ni in order to study the risk estimation of the radiation exposure in space. The simulation was carried out in order to optimize the stacking intensity under various the injection periods. In addition, the beam heating by the RF-KO and the clearing the secondary ion in the cooler were applied to avoid the instability occurred when the beam density became high. We will report the experiment results.

  A system of colliding two beams is strong nonlinear in multi-dimension. In such a system, a symplectic diffusion called Arnold diffusion occurs, with the result that the beams are enlarged and the luminosity is degraded in circular colliders. We discuss the diffusion seen in beam-beam inetraction at a circular accelerator, especially finite crossing angle and/or x-y coupling errors enhance the diffusion.

  Proof-of-principle experiments on the induction synchrotron concept using the KEK 12-GeV PS makes progress, in which RF bunches and a super-bunch will be accelerated with a long step voltage generated in the induction accelerating gaps. In order to give a guide for super-bunch acceleration, the beam stabilities against a droop and a fluctuation of the accelerating voltage have been examined by using a simulation. The droop voltage gives an additional focusing or defocusing force in the longitudinal direction, which leads the mismatching beyond the transition energy. Furthermore, the extremely slow fluctuation of the accelerating voltage causes a lowest-order resonance near the transition. These induce a serious emittance blow-up in the longitudinal, so that the compensating manners will be presented. Moreover, the other issues such as head-tail instability and intra beam scattering will be discussed.

  A new warm snake has been produced for avoiding the transverse coupling resonance in the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The warm snake is the world?s first normal conducting helical dipole partial snake which has a double pitch structure to allow spin rotation with no net beam offset or deflection with a single magnet. The warm snake is 2.6m long, and has a field of 1.5 Tesla for a 9 degrees spin rotation. The pitches, current density, and shims were optimized by using OPERA_3D / TOSCA. The magnetic field harmonics have been measured using a system of 51 mm long, 34 mm radius tangential coils. The axial variation of the dipole field angle agrees very well with the calculations, indicating no significant construction errors. However, the measured transfer function shows a discrepancy of 4% which may be caused by BH-curve differences, deformation of the iron and packing factor of the laminations. To correct the beam trajectory the operating current was adjusted and shims were installed on the end plates. These optimization studies, and comparison with measurements, will be shown.  
 
WEPLT115 A Study of Transverse Resonance Crossing in FFAG resonance, beam-losses, emittance, acceleration 2119

  A study of "resonance crossing" in FFAG accelerator is described in this paper. A deviation of FFAG guiding field in actual magnet breaks zero chromaticity condition, and tunes cross resonance while acceleration. In order to avoid a critical beam loss or emittance growth, nominal tune should be chosen so as not to cross low-order resonances. However, crossing higher order resonance can be critical and that depends on the parameters such as crossing speed, excitation magnitude and initial beam emittance. We will present analytical model and simulation study in various parameter space.

  The 2.6 cell rf-photogun currently in operation at Eindhoven University of Technology has been designed as a booster for a 2 MeV semi-DC accelerator with a field of 1 GV/m. In this paper we present GPT simulation results of the TU/e gun, operated without its pre-accelerator, in the low-charge short-pulse regime. The main part of the paper describes detailed calculations of bunch lengthening due to path-length differences and space-charge effects, making use of high-precision field-maps and the newly developed 3D mesh-based space-charge model of GPT. It is shown that with the present set-up bunches can be produced that are well suited for injection into a planned experiment for controlled acceleration in a plasma-wakefield accelerator.

  The beam distribution of particles in an electron storage ring is distorted in the presence of nonlinear resonances. A computer simulation is used to study the equilibrium distribution of an electron beam in the presence of 4th order single nonlinear resonance. The results are compared with that obtained using an analytical approach by solving the Fokker-Planck equation to first order in the resonance strength. The effect of resonance on the quantum lifetime of electron beam is also compared and investigated.

  With the planned installation of a superconducting rf system, the new operation mode of TLS, the electron storage ring at NSRRC, is expected to double the beam intensity. Several accelerator physics topics need to be examined. One of these topics concerns the beam instability of single-bunch longitudinal microwave instability. We consider different approaches to measure the effective broad band impedance. We compare these measurement results with each other and to the old data [*]. The new measurements of effective broad band impedance are higher than the old measurement since between these two sets of measurements several narrow gap insertion devices were installed into the storage ring. We calculate the threshold current of microwave instability with a mode-mixing analysis code written by Dr. K. Oide of KEK [**]. We also develop a multi-particle tracking code to simulate the instability. The results of simulation and measurement are compared and discussed. We conclude that the doubling of beam current will not onset the microwave instability even without a Landau cavity to lengthen the bunch.

  The article deals with electron beam dynamics in projected high energy electron cooler. Classical electrostatic scheme with several MeV electron energy is considered. The increase of transversal energy of electrons in an accelerating section, in bends and at the matching point of magnetic fields is calculated. In order to calculate beam behavior in bends with electrostatic compensation of centripetal drift new ELEC3D electro- and magnitostatic 3D code is developed. BEAM code is used for simulation of dynamics in an accelerating section. The methods of keeping low transversal energy are estimated.

  Modern electron accelerators for industrial application provide particle energy of up to 10 MeV and beam power of up to 100 kW. Such a beam is ejected into an air using a scanning system. The measuring channel based on a total-absorption calorimeter of flow-type for a beam calibration with respect to energy flow is designed. The processes of beam interaction with the primary measuring converter (a water-cooled beam absorber of especial geometry) were previously studied using a computer simulation. The metering circuit of the channel is made as a stand-alone module with LCD display and control keypad. It performs the operations of temperature measurement at the input and output of the absorber, as well as a water flow-rate determination. The absorbed power is calculated from measured parameters and then is displayed and stored into channel memory using appropriate software. The process is carried out both in off-line mode and under control of the external PC via a serial interface of RS-232 type.

  The process of longitudinal stochastic cooling is simulated using a Fokker-Planck model. The model includes the sensitivities of pick-up and kicker electrodes as calculated from field theoretical models. The effect of feedback through the beam is taken into account. Intra beam scattering is treated as an additional diffusive effect. The calculations cover the existing system of the ESR storage ring at GSI as well as the cooling system for secondary heavy ion and antiproton beams at the proposed new accelerator facility. The paper discusses the resulting cooling times. Requirements on the system layout as amplification factors and electrical power can be derived from the simulations.

  A low beam-loss budget is an essential requirement for high-intensity machines and represents one of their major design challenges. In a high-intensity heavy-ion machine, losses are required to be below 1 W/m for hands-on-maintenance. The driver linac of the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) is designed to accelerate beams of any ion to energies from 400 MeV per nucleon for uranium up to 950 MeV for protons with a beam power of up to 400 kW. The high intensity of the heaviest ions is achieved by acceleration of multiple-charge-state beams, which requires a careful beam dynamics optimization to minimize effective emittance growth and beam halo formation. For beam loss simulation purposes, large number of particles must be tracked through the linac. Therefore the computer code TRACK [P.N. Ostroumov and K.W. Shepard, PRST AB 11, 030101 (2001)] has been parallelized and calculations is being performed on the JAZZ cluster [*] recently inaugurated at ANL. This paper discusses how this powerful tool is being used for simulations for the RIA project to help decide on the high-performance and cost-effective design of the driver linac.

  The Small Isochronous Ring (SIR) has been in operation since December 2003. The main purpose of this ring, developed and built at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU), is to simulate the dynamics of intense beams in large accelerators. To observe the same effects, the beam power needed in SIR is orders of magnitude lower and the time scale is much longer than in the full scale machines. These differences simplify the design and operation of the accelerator. The ring measurements can be used to validate the results of space charge codes. After a variable number of turns, the injected hydrogen bunch (with energies up to 30 keV) is extracted and its longitudinal profile is measured using a fast Faraday cup. We present a summary of the design, the results of the first six months of operation and the comparison with selected space charge codes.

  X-band accelerating structures operate at surface gradients up to 120-180 MV/m. At these gradients, electron currents are emitted spontaneously from the structure walls ("dark currents") and generate additional electromagnetic fields inside the structure. We estimate the effect of these fields on the accelerated beam in a linac using two methods: a particle-in-cell simulation code MAGIC and a particle tracking code. We use the Fowler-Nordheim dependence of the emitted current on surface electric field with field enhancement factor beta. In simulations we consider geometries of traveling wave structures that have actually been built for the Next Linear Collider project.

  A microbunching instability driven by longitudinal space charge, coherent synchrotron radiation and linac wakefields is studied for the linac coherent light source (LCLS) accelerator system. Since the uncorrelated (local) energy spread of electron beams generated from a photocathode rf gun is very small, the microbunching gain may be large enough to significantly amplify shot noise fluctuations of the electron beam. The uncorrelated energy spread can be increased by an order of magnitude without degrading the free-electron laser performance to provide strong Landau damping against the instability. We study different damping options in the LCLS and discuss an effective laser heater to minimize the impacts of the instability on the quality of the electron beam.

  At HIMAC synchrotron, two kinds of slow-extraction method have been developed and utilized: third-order resonant slow-extraction and that with RF-knockout, not only for ion therapy but also for physics and biological experiments. Thus, the improvements of the extracted beam quality have also been carried out in both methods. One of the improvements is the global spill control. The global spill is improved owing to analytical approach in both methods. Cooperating with the feedback system, the flat spill is easily obtained without gain control of the feedback during the extraction. On the other hand, the effect of longitudinal motion for the bunched beam was studied to suppress the frequency component of the synchrotron oscillation in the spill ripple. Further, the transport of the extracted beam is readjusted for controlling the beam size. In this paper, recent improvement of slow-extraction at HIMAC is presented.

THPKF002 Linac RF Control System for CANDLE. Design and Simulation linac, feedback, electron, resonance 2257
 
  • A. Vardanyan, G. Amatuni

  The design and constructional features of the control system for 500 MHz and 3 GHz RF system of CANDLE linac are presented. The linac includes an electron gun that is modulated by 500 MHz generator to produce 1 ns electron bunches, 500 MHz and 3 GHz bunchers, pre-accelerating cavity and the main accelerating section at 3 GHz. An important feature of the presented control system is a high level synchronization of amplitude-phase characteristics of the sub-systems that provide the required energy-space characteristics of the accelerated beam. This puts strict requirements on RF frequency, amplitude and phase stabilization. A digital feedback system has been adopted to provide flexibility in the control algorithms. The main feature is a 9 MHz sampling rate for the cavity signals and digital I/Q detection. The design was performed using the RF analyze tool, based on MATLAB SIMULINK, which allows the simulation and analyzes of the field regulation quality. The simulation results for CANDLE Linac RF system, based on the output parameters of electron beam are given.

  A photoneutron source, based on a 5 MeV electron linac was designed by means of the MCNP simulation code. Although higher electron energies are required to produce acceptable neutron fluxes, the availability of a 5 MeV electron linac developed at the Dipartimento di Fisica (Università di Messina) has suggested this project, in sight of a future development and testing of the studied neutron source. Be and BeD2 targets were considered, whose neutron production was studied optimizing two sequential steps: the bremsstrahlung production in a suitable e-gamma converter and the (gamma,n) production in an properly designed photoneutron target-reflector-moderator system. As a result of a comparative study of different materials performances, a 0.88 mm-thick W layer was chosen as e-gamma converter. A natural graphite reflector was designed, surrounding the target, enhancing the neutron flux of two order of magnitude. The final neutron flux, at 50 cm from the photoneutron target, thermalized by a 12.2 cm-thick PE layer, was estimated to be 8.48E+07 n/cm2/sec/mA with Be target and 1.23E+08 n/cm2/sec/mA with BeD2 target.

  An absorbed dose of electron beam (EB),X-ray (bremsstrahlung), and gamma-ray within the irradiated product is one of the most important characteristic for all industrial radiation-technological processes. The conception for design of the Radiation-Technological Office (RT-Office) - software tools for EB, X-ray, and gamma-ray dosimetry for industrial radiation technologies was developed by authors. RT-Office realize computer technologies at all basic stages of works execution on the RTL using irradiators of EB, X-ray, and gamma-ray in the energy range from 0.1 to 25 MeV. The specialized programs for simulation of EB, X-ray, and gamma-ray processing and for decision of special tasks in dosimetry of various radiation technologies were designed on basis of the RT-Office modules. The use of the developed programs as predictive tools for EB,X-ray, and gamma-ray dose mapping, for optimization of regimes irradiation to receive minimum for dose uniformity ratio, for reducing the volume of routine dosimetry measurements of an absorbed dose within materials at realization of the radiation-technological processes are discussed in the paper.

  The features of the absorbed depth-dose distribution (DDD) on boundaries of two contacting materials and material with air irradiated with an electron beam (EB) were predicted by simulation with the software ModeRTL (Modeling of the radiation-technological lines (RTL)). Validation of DDD prediction with dosimetry was fulfilled on the industrial RTL with linear electron accelerator LAE 13/9 at the INCT, Warsaw. Simulation and measurement of boundary effects of DDD were carried out for targets irradiated by scanning EB with energy 10 MeV on moving conveyer. The irradiated materials were represented as parallelepipeds with all sizes greater than range of electrons in material. Cellulose Triacetate (CTA) dosimetric film (FTR-125) in form of strips inserted between materials and air in parallel with an axis of EB was used for dosimetry. Such irradiation setup allows to receive the complete curve of DDD on the boundary of contacting materials by one dosimetric film. The physical regularities for DDD on the boundary of contacting materials predicted by simulation methods were experimentally confirmed. Investigation of those anomalies is necessary in practice to estimate the quality of an irradiation performed on RTL at realization of various industrial EB processing.  
 
THPLT010 Limiting High Frequency Longitudinal Impedance of an Inductive Pick-up by a Thin Metallic Layer impedance, pick-up, insertion, vacuum 2481
 
  • M. Gasior
    CERN, Geneva
  An Inductive Pick-Up (IPU) was developed to measure the position and current of an electron beam of the CTF3 Drive Beam Linac. The pick-up construction is similar to a wall current monitor, but the pick-up inner wall is divided into 8 electrodes, each of which forms the primary winding of a toroidal transformer. The beam image current component flowing along each electrode is transformed to a secondary winding, connected to an output. The continuity of the vacuum chamber is taken care of by a ceramic insertion surrounded by the electrodes. The insertion is titanium coated on the inside and the end-to-end resistance of the layer is chosen in such a way that within the IPU bandwidth the image current flows over the electrodes. For higher frequencies the current is conducted by the coating to limit the longitudinal impedance of the device in the GHz range. This paper describes a simple electric network model, which was used to simulate the influence of the coating and to optimize its resistance. The model is built from sections of ideal transmission lines and resistors and is suitable for SPICE simulations. Results of measurements and simulations are compared.  
 
THPLT011 Longitudinal Loss Distribution along the LHC quadrupole, dipole, beam-losses, proton 2484
 
  • E.B. Holzer, B. Dehning
    CERN, Geneva
  For the design and calibration of the LHC beam loss monitoring system it is essential to have good predictions of the expected longitudinal loss distributions. For this purpose a complete and detailed aperture model of one LHC sector was compiled and included with the tracking code MAD. The positions of all beam pipe bellows are included in the model as well. Therefore, it allows investigating the loss pattern due to misalignment effects, in addition to steady beam losses (beam halo, beam-beam and beam-rest gas interactions) and orbit errors. Loss maps of halo particles originating from the betatron cleaning insertion have been created for proton and ion beams. The distribution of particle losses along the beam pipe is folded with the result of GEANT simulations of the shower development through the magnets and cold masses. They link the loss of a beam particle on the aperture to particle fluencies outside of the cryostats, where the beam loss monitors will be installed. These simulations determine the positioning of the loss monitors, the longitudinal distance one detector has to cover to achieve the required resolution as well as all calibration factors for the individual detectors. The model also serves to identify hot spots, which can limit the performance of the LHC.

The 3D simulation program allows the exploration of long-range effects due to resistive-wall and HOMs in circular, elliptic and rectangular vacuum chambers also for uneven filling schemes. The code has been benchmarked with measurements in the SPS. Results obtained for LHC, including beam stability and emittance growth, are presented and discussed.

  The LHC reflectometer will be used to detect and localize obstacles and other kinds of discontinuities in the LHC beam screen. An important part of this device is the RF coupler element, which provides the interface between the circular beam screen and the measurement equipment. Two different scenarios of operation are considered. The first option consists in carrying out measurements during assembly by directly branching a coupler to the end of the beam screen. The other one is a permanent installation to be used in situ requiring a different kind of coupler to keep the aperture free. The goal is to achieve a reasonably well-matched spurious mode-free excitation over a 25% bandwidth for the TM01 and the T·1011 mode, respectively. The fulfillment of the required features is severely complicated by space and material restrictions arising mainly from vacuum and installation constraints.

  We report on theoretical simulation performed for the development of a high brightness, field emitter based electron gun suitable for an Angstrom wavelength free electron laser\cite{LEG}. First simulations have been done with available codes in 2 1/2D and 3D for basic gun configurations showing the global and local (due to the granularity of the emitter array) effects on the emittance dilution.Design and construction started on a test setup consisting of a 100 keV electron gun with solenoidal focusing and a diagnostics module. In addition to solenoid focussing, anode shaping will be investigated in order to compensate for non-linear fields leading to space charge blow-up. For advanced simulations of field emitter based guns allowing to resolve individual emitters and to capture the influence of mechanical imperfections, a massive parallel code for 3D particle-in-cell simulations is in development. The electromagnetic field solver is fully functional and the particle tracker has been completed in its basic structures.

  • W. Bruns
    WBFB, Berlin
  The electromagnetic field solver GdfidL has been extended to compute with free moving charges. For computing in parallel, GdfidL partitions the computational volume in many small subvolumes. Each processor computes the electromagnetic field in its part of the whole volume. In addition to the normal field update equations, the movement of the particles must be computed from the Lorentz-force, and the convection current due to the moving charges must be computed and be used to change the electric field near the particle. For each particle, these computations are performed by the processor which is responsible for the volume where the particle is in. Details of the parallel implementation of the used algorithm, Particle in Cell, are given.  
 
THPLT034 Implementation of Higher Order Moments for Beam Dynamics Simulation with the V-Code space-charge, gun, emittance, laser 2553
 
  • W. Ackermann, T. Weiland
    TEMF, Darmstadt
  Based on the moment approach V-Code is implemented to simulate charged particle beam dynamics in linear accelerators. Its main aim is to perform elementary studies in those cases when the beam can be considered as a whole and thus making the motion of individual particles negligible in the overall view. Therefore an ensemble of particles can be well described by the moments of its phase-space distribution and the regarded order influences naturally the achievable accuracy as well as the computational effort. Since the well known moment equations generally are not closed, a technique to limit the number of involved moments has to be applied. So far all moments up to the second order have been considered whereas higher order moments are truncated. As a further step towards higher accuracy the influence of higher order moments has to be investigated. For this reason additional third-order equations are implemented into the V-Code and the achieved results are compared with previous second-order-based ones as well as with higher order approximations.

  • E. Gjonaj, J. Mudiganti, T. Weiland
    TEMF, Darmstadt
  Recent efforts in the development of electron sources are aiming at high intensity electron beams, beyond the limitations posed by space-charge effects in conventional guns. Field emitter arrays, multi-beam and sheet-beam guns are a few examples of emerging technology, which require an accurate characterization of the limiting current in complicated 3D-geometry. The newly developed gun code at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, implements a novel approach to the numerical simulation of space-charge-limited electron emission, which is based on the local conservation of charge for arbitrary cathode surfaces. It is shown that, imposing exact charge conservation using the CAD-data of the geometry eliminates the spurious oscillations in the charge density, which typically arise when the piecewise-planar diode approximation is applied in the simulation. The accuracy of this approach is demonstrated in the validation study of a spherical diode and in the large-scale simulation of a Traveling Wave Tube amplifier.  
 
THPLT036 New Discretization Scheme for Wake Field Computation in Cylindrically Symmetric Structures alignment, linear-collider, collective-effects, collider 2559
 
  • R. Hampel, T. Weiland, I. Zagorodnov
    TEMF, Darmstadt
  Collective effects due to wake fields are a limiting factor in almost every new front line accelerator. Since the early 80's computer codes such as TBCI and MAFIA have been developed for computing wake fields in realistic accelerator structures. With the advent of linear collider studies and small wavelength FEL projects these codes had to face a severe limitation. For the very short bunches in these new accelerators combined with the need for an analysis of very long sections the discrete dispersion became a serious drawback. This effect of having only discrete field values rather than continous ones can be overcome by special algorithms such as semi-implicit integrators as used e.g. in the wake field code ECHO. In this paper we present a new explicit approach which combines the advantage of explicit algorithms (fast) with the absence of dispersion in beam direction.

  • S. Schnepp, S. Setzer, T. Weiland

  For a detailed analysis of the dynamics of space charge dominated beams a combination of Particle-in-Cell methods with efficient FDTD schemes is widely used. Besides the calculation of the forces acting on the particles the interaction of the beam itself with the surrounding geometries is taken into account. A drawback of this method is its sensitivity to numerical noise in the spectral range nearby the grid cutoff frequency. In this paper we will present results of detailed studies of the impact of the bunch shape on the level of the numerical noise. Furthermore an a priori scheme for efficient noise suppression is derived which does not affect the FDTD update algorithm.

The beam is then injected in 4 RF superconducting cavities and accelerated to 40 MeV. It is then focused on a target producing X-rays. Here is presented the design, the specificities, and the beam simulations from the cathode to the target by coupling 2 multiparticle codes : PARMELA and PARTRAN.

  Preliminary studies of the SPARC rf gun are planned to obtain an accurate analysis and optimization of the emittance compensation scheme, measuring the beam emittance evolution downstream the RF gun with an appropriate diagnostic system. Since with a space charge dominated beam the use of the quad-scan method is not possible a 1D pepper-pot method will be used. A mask with narrow slits will be mounted on a movable support, spanning a 1.5 m meters region to measure the emittance in several positions and reconstruct its behavior in the post gun section. Numerical simulations of the measurement process, mainly based on PARMELA and TREDI, are used to estimate the achievable accuracy and to optimize the experimental setup. Wake field effects induced by the beam propagation through the long bellows have been also investigated with HOMDYN. Based on these simulations the design of the apparatus, called emittance-meter, has been realized and is under construction at LNF.

  In the multiturn injection method at the HIMAC synchrotron, a collapsing speed of the bump orbit was decreased from 200 to 350 microseconds in order to obtain higher intensity beam. The injection line was readjusted to satisfy the optimum condition of multiturn injection method. Furthermore, COD correction and bump-orbit optimization were carried out. On the other hand, in order to prevent the resonance by tune shift and to keep the beam intensity constant, tune survey was carried out. While vertical tune is adjusted, we propose that the method to reduce beam loss after injection by expanding vertical beam size by means of the RF-knockout. This paper describes the improvement of injection at HIMAC synchrotron.

  The J-PARC 3 GeV ring is a rapid cycling synchrotron which consists of the large bore size magnets. The beam tracking with the 3D distributed magnetic fields is kept developing in order to investigate the beam injection process. In the case of the high intensity hadron accelerator, an accurate beam simulation is important for the designing because a very small amount of beam loss can be critical from the maintenance point of view. In order to improve the tracking accuracy and to save the calculation time, the symplectic integration with the fractal decomposition method has been introduced. The updated simulation results of the beam injection on the J-PARC 3 GeV RCS and the improved performance of ‘GenericSolver' are presented in this paper. The quadrupole fields are also treated as the 3D distributed magnetic fields because they interfered with the bump magnet fields. The remarkable features on the large bore magnet system in the ring accelerator are also discussed.

  Since most of medical linacs use S-band frequency, so far, such linacs cannot fit to modern advanced treatment techniques such as Tomotherapy and Stereotactic radiotherapy, which allows physicians to locate the tumor position during treatment time and enable for beam modification based on the real time analysis. Therefore, a new generation of electron linac with the compact size, higher power, higher gradient that can supply the advanced requirements of cancer treatment has been become necessary. X-band frequencies range is one of the suitable frequencies range for design such linacs. In this paper we will describe the possible design of a X-band (11.424 GHz) medical linac with side-coupled standing wave structure which understudying in NERL, The University of Tokyo. We aim to couple the therapy machine to the Compton scattering tunable monochromatic X-ray inspection device to realize the simultaneous inspection/therapy.

  This paper presents wake field and wake potential calculation by using the Time Domain Boundary Element Method (TDBEM) on the MPI parallel computation system. The TDBEM is based on the electric field integral equation (EFIE) and the electric field integral equation (MFIE) in time domain. In wake field simulation, an important advantage of these equations is that electromagnetic fields in an accelerator cavity are explicitly expressed as a sum of charged particle self-fields and wake fields in time domain. On the other hand, the TDBEM has serious difficulties in practical numerical simulation, such as numerical instabilities, huge memory requirements, and heavy calculation cost. However, recent remarkable progress of computer performance makes the TDBEM possible to be used in practical simulations. According to these backgrounds, we apply the TDBEM to wake field simulation in the MPI parallel computer system. Simulation results are compared with that of a conventional method, the Finite Integration Techniques (FIT), and good agreements are shown.

  Because of simple structure and apparatus, a thermionic rf gun has been considered to be employed in a new pre-injector for the future synchrotron radiation facility at Tohoku University. A 3-D beam simulation code for the rf gun using a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method to solve Maxwell's equations has been developed. In the rf gun, especially in case of the high beam current, electromagnetic fields induced by the electron beam are considered to affect beam characteristics such as beam emittance and energy spread. In the FDTD method, because the Maxwell?s equations are able to be solved including the term of current density of the charge, the electromagnetic fields produced by both the external rf power and the electron beam can be anticipated. Using the simulation code, beam loading effects on the characteristics of the electron beam extracted from the rf gun is investigated.

  Beam diagnostic systems for high quality electron beam emitted from photo-cathode rf gun have been developed. Beam characteristics such as bunch length and emittance measurements were performed at Waseda University. The bunch length was measured using an rms bunch length monitor based on beam spectrum analysis. The monitor is very useful as the non-destructive and conventional tool even for the relatively low energy electron beam around 5MeV. The measurement results of the rms bunch lengths using this monitor are in good agreement with the simulation results of PARMELA. However, it is not applicable for the measurement of longitudinal profile of the electron bunch, so that we have started the manufacturing of a deflection cavity, so-called RF-Kicker, to measure the longitudinal profiles of the bunch. The emittance has been measured by using a slit scan technique. By using double slit scan technique, emittance of 9mmmrad has been obtained. Though the value is not satisfactory small, we believe that much smaller emittance can be obtained by optimizing a laser profile. The measurement results and progress of rf gun at Waseda University will be presented at the conference.

  As science and engineering problems get more complex, programs which help modelling complicated problems larger and more sophisticated. This trend makes us recognize the importance of well-established engineering disciplines not only in designing large-scale scientific programs for special purposes in appropriate development time but also in importing the programs from other research group and refactor it for conveniences and more advanced applications. OSIRIS is a large-scale PIC code which was developed at UCLA for modelling of laser-plasma interactions. OSIRIS was reengineered and documented in UML by our group and ported to Linux cluster machine of 8 nodes. We report our current status of developing the extended version of OSIRIS, which was named as OSIRIS-X, and how a large-scale scientific programs can be enhanced efficiently with the Unified Process. Some guidelines in designing and refactoring large-scale scientific codes are presented and discussed. A common architecture model of numerically intensive programs for large-scale computing is suggested , and it is discussed how we can use it for rapid development and prototyping of scientific programs. We also discuss future challenges and prospects in OSIRIS-X development.

  A summary of recent development of physical and mathematical basements and the first version of computer code library based on the particle-in-cell method are presented. The code library is aimed for the three-dimensional (3D) simulation of the ECR plasma and ion production in the ECR ion source. The particle-in-cell (finite particle) method is one of the most powerful methods for the numerical simulation of multicomponent ECR plasma and electron-ion beams. This method allows studying the detailed characteristics of plasma, taking into account the distribution functions of particles (spatial, velocity and energy distributions), real self and external fields, particle-particle interactions and many other effects. This technique promises to provide very precise numerical simulations and optimizations of ECR ion sources. The first results of simulations of ECR source plasma are presented. It has been shown that a complete and adequate description of ECR plasma requires the full-scale 3D model and computer codes. This is out of frames of existed project and could be an aim of some addition investigations.

  The using of crystalline ion beams can increase of the luminosity in the collider and in experiments with targets for investigation of rare radioactive isotopes. The ordered state of circulating ion beams was observed experimentally at several storage rings. In this report a new criteria of the beam orderliness are derived and verified with BETACOOL code with using molecular dynamics technique. The sudden reduction of momentum spread observed on a few rings is described with this code. The simulation shows a good agreement with the experimental results. The code has then been used to calculate characteristics of the ordered state of ion beams for ion rings which will have experimental programs for the study of crystalline beams. A new strategy of the cooling process is proposed which permits to increase the linear density of the ordered ion beam.

  A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is very popular for electromagnetic field modeling. The practical interest in the method is the ability to calculate fields in time domain at any time point in the accelerating structure. That is to say the FDTD method is able to model transient process taking into account the peculiarity of RF power input device. A FDTD approach for modeling of alternate phase focusing structure is presented in this paper. The modeling of lossy metals is a problem in classical formulation of FDTD method. This matter is investigated and one of the solutions is presented in this paper. There are some problems of signal processing when using time-domain method for resonant structure modeling. The matters of mode determination are also investigated and presented in this paper. The simulation results are compared with experimental data.

  The report describes a simulation technique for study of unsteady self-consistent dynamics of charged particles in resonant linacs. The technique allows simulating the linacs that consist of resonant cavities and traveling wave sections. The proposed approach is based on unsteady theories of excitation of resonant cavities and waveguides by a beam of charged particles and RF feeders. The theory of waveguide excitation is generalized to the case of spatially inhomogeneous traveling wave structures. The system of self-consistent differential equations for fields and motion of particles is integrated over time and space. The SUPERFISH code is used to evaluate characteristics of the axially symmetrical cavities and traveling wave sections. The PARMELA code is applied to simulate motion of the particles at each time step of the integration. In such a way the fields and beam characteristics in the axially symmetrical accelerating structures can be obtained for transient and steady state operation. Description of the algorithm and results of its validation are presented.  
 
THPLT133 Simulation of RF Control of a Superconducting Linac for Relativistic Particles linac, feedback, beam-loading, proton 2774

  We present a code to simulate the rf field and field control in a superconducting linac for relativistic heavy particles. In such a linac the field stability is strongly influenced by the longitudinal beam dynamics. So the code has to simulate both the field and the beam dynamics with the resulting varying beam loading. Other effects included in the simulation are Microphonics and Lorentz force. The code can simulate both single cavity and vector sum control.

  The CLIC test facility 3 (CTF3) provides a 3.5A, 1.5s electron beam pulse of 150MeV at the end of the linac. The average beam power is 4 kW. Beam loss will be monitored all along the linac in order to keep the radiation level as low as possible. The heavy beam loading of the linac can lead to time transients of beam position and size along the pulse. To compensate these transients effectively a beam loss monitor (BLM) technology has to be chosen with a time response faster than a few nanoseconds. In this context, two different tests have been performed in 2003 on the already existing part of the CTF3 accelerator. Several detectors based on different technologies were first tested in parallel to determine which one was the most appropriate. A second test, in which the beam was intentionally lost in well defined conditions, was then made with the aim of comparing the measurements with simulation results. We present here the results of these tests and our conclusion for the new system to be developed.

  Keeping nanometer-sized beams in collision is an essential component in achieving design luminosity in a linear collider. The NLC stabilization strategy is conservative by including enough redundancy so that if some piece doesn't work to specification or the incoming beam motion is worse than expected, the beams will still be kept in collision. We show simulation results with both realistic and pessimistic assumptions about the response of the ground motion, inertial stabilization, interbunch and intertrain feedback systems. By providing backup systems, and by assuming that some systems may perform more poorly than expected, we can achieve a high level of confidence in our ability to successfully stabilize the beams.  
 
THPLT157 Beam-based Feedback for the NLC Linac feedback, linac, emittance, ground-motion 2828

  The NLC linac train-by-train feedback system is designed to stabilize the beam trajectory, but is also a valuable element in the strategy for emittance preservation. New simulations employ improved strategies [*], allowing beam steering to be performed significantly less often than without the feedback system. Additional simulations indicate that the linac feedback can contribute towards successful operation at noisier sites.

  In the beam pipe of the Damping Ring (DR) of a linear collider, an electron cloud may be produced by ionization of residual gas and secondary emission. This electron cloud can reach equilibrium after the passage of only a few bunches. We present recent computer simulation results for the main features of the electron cloud generation in the GLC/NLC main DR and for the TESLA DR. Single and multi-bunch instability thresholds are also calculated for the NLC main DR. The results are obtained by the computer simulation codes HEAD-TAIL and POSINST, which were developed to study the electron cloud effect in particle accelerators.  
 
THPLT172 Self-adaptive Feed Forward Scheme for the SNS Ring RF System target, extraction, proton, accumulation 2864
 
  • M. Blaskiewicz, K. Smith

  During one millisecond of injection stacking, the RF beam current varies from 0 to 50 Amperes. The control loops of the RF system are operative throughout this process. Acceptable setpoints will be found during commissioning, but as vacuum tubes age and beam currents increase these setpoints will become less optimal. A scheme by which the system can optimize itself is presented.  
 
THPLT177 Maps for Fast Electron Cloud Simulations at RHIC electron, luminosity, space-charge, proton 2870
 
  • U. Iriso, S. Peggs

  Luminosity in several colliders, including RHIC, is limited by the electron cloud effect. A careful re-distribution of the bunch pattern around the azimuth of a ring can decrease the average electron density for a fixed total bunch current, allowing the luminosity to be increased. In the search for a bunch pattern that maximizes the luminosity, a fast computer simulation is a key requirement. We discuss the use of fast polynomial maps to simulate the bunch to bunch evolution of the electron density at RHIC. Such maps are empirically derived from existing conventional slow simulation codes.

  We present here an accelerator modeling suite that integrates the capability of MADX and UAL packages, based on the Standard eXchange Format (SXF) interface. The resulting environment introduces a one-stop collection of accelerator applications ranging from the lattice design to complex beam dynamics studies. The extended capabilities of the MADX-UAL integrated approach have been tested and effectively used in two accelerator projects: RHIC, where direct comparison of operational and simulated data is possible, and the SNS Accumulator Ring, still in its design phase.
