  To store high current ion beams up to 10 A, a superconducting storage ring (F8SR) is planned at Frankfurt university. For the realisation, a scaled down experimental setup with normalconducting magnets is being build. Investigations of beam transport in solenoidal and toroidal guiding fields are in progress. At the moment, a new kind of injection system consisting of a solenoidal injection coil and a special vacuum vessel is under development. It is used to inject a hydrogen beam sideways between two toroidal magnets. In parallel operation, a second hydrogen beam is transported through both magnets to represent the circulating beam. In a second stage, an ExB-Kicker will be used as a septum to combine both beams into one. The current status of the experimental setup will be shown. For the design of the experiments, computer simulations using the 3D simulation code bender were performed. Different input parameters were checked to find the optimal injection and transport channel for the experiment. The results will be presented.

  A compact magnetic alloy (MA) loaded cavity is under development for XiPAF's synchrotron. The cavity contains 6 large size MA cores, each is independently coupled with solid state power amplifier. Two types of MA core are proposed for the project. We have developed a single core model cavity to verify the impedance model and to test the properties of MA cores under high power state. The high power test results are presented and discussed.

  The 3-GeV RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) of J-PARC is gradually approaching to the design operation with 1 MW beam power. Studies are ongoing for further higher beam power of 1.5 MW. The injection and extraction energy of RCS is 0.4 and 3 GeV, respectively. Lifetime of the stripper foil is the highest concern beyond 1 MW beam power. We have also already started detail studies of H stripping to protons by using lasers. However, in order to avoid high magnetic field required in the process of laser-assisted H stripping to protons, especially for lower H energies, we are studying the possibilities of using only laser system for 400 MeV H beam in the RCS. The method is a three step process, similar to that of SNS but lasers are used instead of high field magnets in the 1st (H to H0) and 3rd step (H0* to p). A Nd:YAG laser can be properly used for both 1st and 3rd steps, where commercially available powerful Excimer laser will be used an H0 excitation in the 2nd step. Although detail R&D studies are necessary to reach to the ultimate goal, we plan to carry out an experiment in 2017. A detail of the present method, experimental schedule and the expected outcome will be presented.

  An electron scanner has been installed in the accumulator ring of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The non-destructive device permits turn-by-turn measurements of the horizontal and vertical profiles of the proton beam during accumulation with fine longitudinal resolution. In this study the device is used to identify the source of transverse coupling in the SNS ring and to understand the impact of space charge on the evolution of the coupled beam. We present experimental observations of coupling dependent on tune, injected intensity, and accumulated intensity for a simplified accumulation scenario with no RF and no injection painting. We also investigate the effects of varying the skew quadrupoles and tune for beams with the SNS production-style ring injection and ring RF patterns.

  At CERN we have ramped up a program to investigate space charge effects in the LHC pre-injectors with high brightness beams and long storage times. This in view of the LIU upgrade project for these accelerators. These studies require massive simulation over large number of turns. To this end we have been looking at all available codes and started collaborations on code development with several laboratories: pyORBIT from SNS, SYNERGIA from Fermilab, MICROMAP from GSI and our in-house MAD-X code with an space charge upgrade. We have agreed with our collaborators to bench-mark all these codes in the framework of the GSI bench-marking suite, in particular the main types of frozen space charge and PIC codes are being tested. We also include a study on the subclass of purely frozen and the adaptive frozen modes both part of MAD-X in comparison with the purely frozen MICROMAP code. Last, we will report on CERN's code development effort to understand and eventually overcome the noise issue in PIC codes.

  To better understand the space charge compensation processes in low energy high intensity beam transportation, numerical study and experimental simulation on H+ beam and H beam were carried out at Peking University (PKU). The numerical simulation is done with a PIC-MCC model [1] whose computing framework was done with the 3D MATLAB PIC code bender [2], and the impacts among particles were done with Monte Carlo collision via null-collision method [3]. Issues, such as beam loss caused by collisions in H+, H beam and ion-electron instability related to decompensation and overcompensation in H beam, are carefully treated in this model. The experiments were performed on PKU ion source test bench. Compensation gases were injected directly into the beam transportation region to modify the space charge compensation degree. The results obtained during the experiment are agree well with the numerical simulation ones for both H+ beam [1] and H beam [4]. Details will be presented in this paper.

THPM5X01 Using an Electron Cooler for Space Charge Compensation in the GSI Synchrotron SIS18 electron, ion, space-charge, focusing 496

For the future operation of the SIS18 as a booster synchrotron for the FAIR SIS100, space charge and beam lifetime are expected to be the main intensity limitations. Intensity is limited in part by the space-charge-induced incoherent tune shift in bunched beams. A co-propagating, low energy electron lens can compensate for this tune shift by applying opposing space-charge fields in the ion beam. In this paper, we study the effect of using the existing electron cooler at the SIS18 as a space charge compensation device. We anticipate beta beating may arise due to the singular localized focusing error, and explore the possibility of adding additional lenses to reduce this error. We also study the effect of electron lenses on the coherent (collective) and incoherent (single-particle) stopbands. Furthermore, we estimate the lifetime of partially stripped heavy-ions due to charge exchange process in the lens.

Because several of the SNS targets have had a shorter lifetime than desired, a new target has been instrumented with strain sensors to further our understanding of the proton beam’s mechanical impact. The high radiation and electrically noisy environment led us to pick multi-mode fiber optical strain sensors over other types of strain sensors. Special care was taken to minimize the impact of the sensors on the target’s lifetime. We also placed accelerometers outside the target to try correlating the outside measurements with the internal measurements. Remote manipulators performed the final part of the installation, as even residual radiation is too high for humans to come close to the target’s final location. The initial set of optical sensors on the first instrumented target lasted just long enough to give us measurements from different proton beam intensities. A second set of more rad-hard sensors, installed in the following target, lasted much longer, to give us considerably more data. We are developing our own rad-hard, single-mode fiber optic sensors. This paper describes the design, installation, data-acquisition system, the results of the strain sensors, and future plans.
