  SPIRAL2 is a radioactive beams facility, composed of a superconducting linac driver, delivering deuterons with an energy up to 40 MeV (5 mA) and heavy ions with an energy of 14.5 MeV/u (1 mA). This facility is now fully approved by the French government. IPN Orsay is in charge of the study and manufacture of the beta 0.12 cryomodule of the superconducting LINAC. These cryomodule, designed for an overall cryogenic power of 30 W at 4.2 K, is composed of two quarter wave type 88 MHz rf resonator providing a minimum of 6.5 MV/m with a quality factor of 1 10 9, two tuning mechanisms controlling the resonator frequency and an alignment system allowing to adjust the cavity position with a ± 1 mm accuracy. Several tests performed on a first resonator prototype fabricated by the "Ettore Zanon SpA" Company, have validated the cavity and its auxiliary components design. A first cryomodule fully equipped (cavities, cryostat, tuning and alignment systems), planned to be tested at the beginning of 2007, is under manufacturing. The details of the cryomodule design and the resonator tests results are discussed in the paper.

  Current status of the cryomodule development for superconducting RF test facility, STF, at KEK is presented. The objective of the STF construction is to have an experience of 5-m long cryomodule fabrications and to learn an operational method of superconducting RF cavities. The STF consists of two 5-m long cryomodules, each housing four 9-cell cavities (one for 35 MV/m and the other for 45 MV/m). In addition to the cavity type, each cavity has variations in its appendices. Thus, two cryomodules must have different structures for the cavity support and for the port of the RF input coupler. This paper describes the details of the cryomodule design, the development of the bimetallic joint for connecting the titanium helium vessel to the stainless steel cooling pipe, and the studies of the magnetic shielding for high quality cavities.  
 
MOPCH194 Studies of the Alignment Tolerance for the Injector System of the IFUSP Microtron simulation, microtron, beam-losses, acceleration 517

  The Instituto de Fmsica da Universidade de Sco Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 38 MeV continuous-wave racetrack microtron. In this work, we describe the determination of alignment tolerances for the injector system of the IFUSP Microtron. This system consists of a linear accelerator with input energy of 100 keV and output energy of 1.8 MeV. The work presented ere involves analysis of our possibilities of alignment, the beam specifications for the acceleration structures and the strength of the correcting coils. Simulations were made using a method based on rotation matrices that allows for misalignments in the optical elements. It uses a tolerance parameter, given by the user, which is interpreted as a standard deviation of the normal misalignment distribution used to shuffle a configuration. A 5% loss of particles is achieved at a tolerance of 0.25-mm, without the inclusion of correcting coils (steerings) in the simulations.

  • N.J. Walker, D. Kruecker, F. Poirier
    DESY, Hamburg
  The preservation of the ultra-small vertical emittance in the International Linear Collider (ILC) will require the use of beam-based alignment techniques, the expected performance of which relies heavily on the use of simulation tools. In this report, we present the newest release of a purpose-built ILC main linac simulation tool, based on the Merlin* C++ class library. Examples of results from Dispersion Free Steering (DFS) simulations are also be presented.

  Experiments at the TTF at DESY have demonstrated that the Higher Order Modes induced in Superconducting Cavities can be used to provide a variety of beam and cavity diagnostics. The centers of the cavities can be determined from the beam orbit which produces minimum power in the dipole HOM modes. The phase and amplitude of the dipole modes can be used as a high resolution beam position monitor, and the phase of the monopole modes to measure the beam phase relative to the accelerator RF. Beam orbit feedback which minimizes the dipole HOM power in a set of structures has been demonstrated. For most SC accelerators, the existing HOM couplers provide the necessary signals, and the downmix and digitizing electronics are straightforward, similar to those for a conventional BPM.

TUPCH064 Beam-based Alignment Strategy for the Group Controlled Magnets System simulation, quadrupole, proton, controls 1160

  The beam based alignment of the beam position monitor (BPM) becomes an important tool to reduce the closed orbit distortion (COD) in the recent accelerator. Normally, it requires the independent control of the quadrupole field. Changing the current of a quadrupole magnet, one would find the unperturbed position. However, the J-PARC Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) has seven quadrupole families and only group of each family can be controlled simultaneously. There is neither separate power supplies nor auxiliary coil windings on each individual magnet. A similar alignment procedure is applicable for the coupled-controlled magnet system, but it becomes very complicated. For the simplest case, three magnets grouped together, four different beam orbits have to be measured at three different BPM locations. The method and some simulation results for J-PARC/RCS case will be presented in this report.

  International Linear Collider (ILC) interaction region beam sizes and component position stability requirements will be as small as a few nanometers. It is important to the ILC design effort to demonstrate that these tolerances can be achieved – ideally using beam-based stability measurements. It has been estimated that RF cavity beam position monitors (BPMs) could provide position measurement resolutions of less than one nanometer and could form the basis of the desired beam-based stability measurement. We have developed a high resolution RF cavity BPM system. A triplet of these BPMs has been installed in the extraction line of the KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) for testing with its ultra-low emittance beam. The three BPMs are rigidly mounted inside an alignment frame on variable-length struts which allow movement in position and angle. We have developed novel methods for extracting the position and tilt information from the BPM signals including a calibration algorithm which is immune to beam jitter. To date, we have been able to demonstrate a resolution of approximately 20 nm over a dynamic range of ± 20 microns. We report on the progress of these ongoing tests.

  An efficient and robust collimation system is mandatory for any superconducting hadron collider, in particular for the LHC, which will store a beam of unprecedented high intensity and energy. The usage of highly efficient and short primary bent-crystal collimators might be a possibility for reaching nominal and ultimate LHC intensity. Over the last years, groups in Russia (St. Petersburg) and Italy (Ferrara) have developed crystal production methods, which considerably improve the crystal quality. In view of the crystal-collimation experiments at the Tevatron and of the potential improvement compared with the phas·10-1 LHC collimation system, considering the recent progress in crystal technology, we proposed experiments for crystal characterization in the SPS beam lines. Major objectives will be: 1) qualification of the new crystals to be used in the Tevatron; 2) measuring the channeling efficiency of long crystals with 1 mrad and/or 8 mrad bending angle; and 3) comparison of loss patterns around the ring for a crystal with one for amorphous material. In this paper we will report the progress towards the SPS experiment.  
 
TUPLS024 FFAGs as Muon Accelerators for a Neutrino Factory resonance, emittance, acceleration, beam-losses 1541
 
  • S. Machida
    CCLRC/RAL/ASTeC, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon
  The FFAG accelerator is a solution for rapid acceleration of muons because of its large aperture and no need of magnet ramping. Its particle dynamics is, however, peculiar due to high energy gain per turn and large transverse amplitude, which has not been seen in other types of circular accelerators. One variation of FFAG, called non-scaling FFAG, employs quite new scheme, namely, out of bucket acceleration. We studied emittance distortion, coupled motions among 3-D planes, effects of resonance lines, etc., based on a newly developed tracking code. In this paper, we will emphasize new regime of particle dynamics as well as a modeling technique of FFAG.  
 
WEPCH010 Beam-based Alignment for the Storage Ring Multipoles of Synchrotron SOLEIL quadrupole, sextupole, SOLEIL, multipole 1939

  First beam-based alignment (BBA) measurements will be carried out during the commissioning of the SOLEIL Storage Ring that will start in April 2006. The results will allow calibrating the zero reading of the 120 Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) with respect to the magnetic centre of the adjacent quadrupoles or sextupoles. BPMs being either adjacent to quadrupoles or sextupoles, we plan to resort to two different BBA methods related to each multipolar magnet. Moreover, as some BPMs are located near both quadrupole and sextupole, the use of both methods will allow us to cross-check the results. We will present here the first results and the comparison with the positions of the magnetic centres as obtained from the magnetic measurements.

  During the last three years a Kharkov X-ray generator NESTOR is under design and construction in NSC KIPT. According to the design report, electrons are injected in the storage ring at 100 MeV and ramped up to final energy 225 MeV. Due to compact design of the ring the injection trajectory of the beam will pass through fringe field of a NESTOR bending magnet. It brings additional difficulties on design of an injection channel. In the paper the layout, results of design and calculations of NESTOR injector channel are presented. The channel consists of two bending magnets, five-lens, asymmetrical, objective and two-lens matching cell to compensate dispersion and focusing effects of a dipole magnet fringe field and injection system elements (inflector). Presented results shows that designed lattice provides matching of injected beam parameters with the storage ring acceptance, is stable to element alignment errors and is easy controlled. The final values of the channel lens gradients can be defined only after measurements of inflector field profile.

  Classification: 1-A18, 3-A09, 4-A15, 6-T03 (non exhaustive). The study of neutrino oscillations offers promises of great discoveries including leptonic CP violation. The experimental programs that are under discussion pose considerable challenges to accelerator builders. Extremely high intensities are needed for classical on- and off-axis pion decay beams; novel ideas such as beta-beams and muon decay beams have been invented and are being studied. The experiments to be performed require outstanding predictability and monitoring of the neutrino flux. The challenges will be reviewed and a list of requirements will be proposed.

  The 254 quadrupole magnets for Diamond, manufactured by Tesla Engineering Ltd, were measured for harmonic content to a level around 1 part in 104. In order to meet the demanding requirements on field quality, procedures were then developed to adjust the relative positions of the magnet quadrants such that the desired harmonic levels were achieved. This process was integrated into the analysis software so that the needed changes were specified. The measurements were performed on a seven-coil rotating coil rig, which also enabled the alignment of the magnet in five spatial degrees of freedom to the specified accuracy. In this report we describe the measurement and correction procedures and present a summary of the results that were obtained.

  After several years of intensive effort, the construction of the superconducting matching quadrupoles for the LHC insertions is nearing completion. We retrace the main events of the project from the initial development of quadrupole magnets of several types to the series production of over 100 complex cryo-magnets, and report on the techniques developed for steering of the production. The main performance parameters for the full series, such as quench training, field quality and magnet geometry are presented. The experience gained in the production of these special superconducting magnets is of considerable value for further development of the LHC insertions.

  The design of a Neutrino Factory (NF) has been the subject of several physics studies. For a NF based on a stored high energy muon beam, a potential key technology that has a significant impact on its cost and practicality is the ability to cool rapidly the muon beam prior to acceleration. The muon ionisation cooling experiment (MICE), currently being constructed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK), is a demonstration of emittance cooling in a linear cooling channel. A new muon beam line and the basic infrastructure for MICE are funded, and a muon beam is under construction with an expected availability in spring 2007. The experiment will be methodically assembled over the following few years to bring the beam through RF accelerating cavities and liquid hydrogen absorbers and confined by a solenoidal magnetic field. The emittance of the beam before and after the cooling channel is measured in tracking spectrometers. The current status of the beam line and infrastructure build and of the components of MICE is presented.

  SOLEIL is a third generation Synchrotron radiation Source, under construction in France near Paris. The 357 m circumference storage ring is mainly composed of (32 +1) dipoles, 160 quadrupoles, 120 sextupoles, 2 RF cryomodules, ~ 200 vacuum chambers, 6 injection equipment; 12 beamline front-ends and 4 insertion devices (initially). The 157 m circumference Booster comprises 36 dipoles, 44 quadrupoles, 28 sextupoles, 1 RF cavity and 8 injection/extraction equipment. Before the beginning of the Process installation, a general planning was established detailing the various stages of the equipment installation and their assembly protocols before their on-site installation. In reality, many unknown factors, delays on the buildings, delays on the equipment deliveries, technical problems encountered during the construction, have constrained us to significantly and frequently amend and adapt this initial planning. Due to the various delays, it was also necessary to manage the cohabitation with the various building trades. However, the work made on the initial planning paid off as without its detailed protocols, we could not have carried out the Process installation within correct deadline.

  The new synchrotron radiation source ALBA to be built nearby Barcelona is planned to start operation in 2009. The facility includes a laboratory for magnetic measurements laboratory devoted to IDs. The stretched wire measurement technique is widely used to obtain magnetic field integrals. This technique is based upon the displacement of a stretched wire relative to the magnetic structure to be measured. In the most usual configuration, the magnets are kept fixed while the wire is moved. This arrangement is especially well suited for measuring big structures such as full undulators or its jaws. In contrast, in the fixed stretched wire configuration the magnetic structure is moved relative to a stationary pick-up coil with a straight segment. This layout is convenient for the measurement of small units, such as individual magnet blocks or magnetic modules. These measurements allow characterising the inhomogeneities of the building blocks of an undulator. In this paper we present an exhaustive analysis of error sources and tolerance requirements for a particular design of a fixed stretched wire bench made at ALBA, based both in the ESRF, SOLEIL and BESSY previous existing designs.
