MOAM5P50 | LHC Run 2: Results and Challenges | luminosity, proton, operation, electron | 14 |
|
|||
The first proton run of the LHC was very successful and resulted in important physics discoveries. It was followed by a two-year shutdown where a large number of improvements were carried out. In 2015, the LHC was restarted and this second run aims at further exploring the physics of the standard model and beyond at an increased beam energy. This article gives a review of the performance achieved so far and the limitations encountered, as well as the future challenges for the CERN accelerators to maximize the data delivered to the LHC experiments in Run 2. Furthermore, the status of the 2016 LHC run and commissioning is discussed. | |||

MOPM3P01 | Beam Optics Simulations Study on the Pre-Stripper Linac for Rare Isotope Science Project | linac, cryomodule, simulation, cavity | 31 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by the Rare Isotope Science Project of the Institute for Basic Science funded by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and the National Research Foundation of Korea. The rare isotope science project (RISP) under development in Korea aims to provide various heavy-ion beams for nuclear and applied science users. A pre-stripper linac is the first superconducting section to be constructed for the acceleration of both stable and radioisotope beams to the energy of 18.5 Mev/u with a DC equivalent voltage of 160 MV. The current baseline design consists of an ECR ion source, an RFQ, cryomodules with QWR and HWR cavities and quadruple focusing magnets in the warm sections between cryomodules. Recently we have developed an alternative design in collaboration with Argonne's Linac Development Group to layout the linac based on state-of-the-art ANL's QWR operating at 81.25 MHz and multi-cavity cryomodules of the type used for the ATLAS upgrade and Fermilab PIP-II projects. End-to-end beam dynamics calculations have been performed to ensure an optimized design with no beam losses. The numbers of required cavities and cryomodules are significantly reduced in the alternative design. The results of beam optics simulations and error sensitivity studies are discussed. |

MOPR008 | Pressure Profiles Calculation for the CSRm and BRing | vacuum, dipole, heavy-ion, simulation | 62 |
|
|||
Funding: National Natural Science Foundation of China (Project No. 11305227) A new large scale accelerator facility is being designed by Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) Lanzhou, which is named as the High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF). This project consists of ion sources, Linac accelerator, synchrotrons (BRing) and several experimental terminals. During the operation of Bring, the heavy ion beams will be easily lost at the vacuum chamber along the BRing when it is used to accumulate intermediate charge state particles. The vacuum pressure bump due to the ion-induced desorption in turn leads to an increase in beam loss rate. In order to accumulate the beams to higher intensity to fulfill the requirements of physics experiments and for better understanding of the dynamic vacuum pressure caused by the beam loss, a dynamic vacuum pressure simulation program has been developed. Vacuum pressure profiles are calculated and compared with the measured data based on the current synchrotron (CSRm). Then the static vacuum pressure profiles of the BRing and one type of pump which will be used in the BRing are introduced in this paper. |

MOPR016 | Mitigation of Numerical Noise for Beam Loss Simulations | simulation, emittance, space-charge, proton | 90 |
|
|||
Numerical noise emerges in self-consistent simulations of charged particles, and its mitigation is investigated since the first numerical studies in plasma physics. In accelerator physics, recent studies find an artificial diffusion of the particle beam due to numerical noise in particle-in-cell tracking, which is of particular importance for high intensity machines with a long storage time, as the SIS100 at FAIR or in context of the LIU upgrade at CERN. In beam loss simulations for these projects artificial effects must be distinguished from physical beam loss. Therefore, it is important to relate artificial diffusion to artificial beam loss, and to choose simulation parameters such that physical beam loss is well resolved. As a practical tool, we therefore suggest a scaling law to find optimal simulation parameters for a given maximum percentage of acceptable artificial beam loss. | |||

MOPL002 | The DESIR Facility at GANIL-SPIRAL2: The Transfer Beam Lines | quadrupole, diagnostics, optics, emittance | 179 |
|
|||
Funding: French ANR, Investissements d'Avenir, EQUIPEX. Contract number ANR-11-EQPX-0012. The new ISOL facility SPIRAL2 is currently being built at GANIL, Caen France. The commissioning of the accelerator is in progress since 2015. SPIRAL2 will produce a large number of new radioactive ion beams (RIB) at high intensities. In 2019, the DESIR facility will receive beams from the upgraded SPIRAL1 facility of GANIL (stable beam and target fragmentation), from the S3 Low Energy Branch (fusion-evaporation and deep-inelastic reactions). In order to deliver the RIB to the experimental set-ups installed in the DESIR hall, 110 meters of beam line are studied since 2014. This paper will focus on the recent studies which have been done on these transfer lines: beam optics and errors calculations, quadrupoles, diagnostics and mechanical designs. |

MOPL003 | Status of the Beam Dynamics Design of the New Post-Stripper DTL for GSI - FAIR | DTL, quadrupole, simulation, emittance | 184 |
|
|||
The GSI UNILAC has served as injector for all ion species since 40 years. Its 108 MHz Alvarez DTL providing acceleration from 1.4 MeV/u to 11.4 MeV/u has suffered from material fatigue and has to be replaced by a new section. The design of the new post-stripper DTL is now under development in GSI. An optimized drift tube shape increases the shunt impedance and varying stem orientations mitigate parasitic rf-modes. This contribution is on the beam dynamics layout. | |||

TUAM5X01 | Space Charge Driven Beam Loss for Cooled Beams and Mitigation Measures in the CERN Low Energy Ion Ring | resonance, injection, space-charge, sextupole | 272 |
|
|||
The performance of the CERN Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) with electron cooled lead ion beams is presently limited by losses, which occur during RF capture and the first part of acceleration. Extensive experimental studies performed in 2015 indicate that the losses are caused by the interplay of betatron resonances and the direct space charge detuning, which is significantly enhanced during bunching. Mitigation measures have already been identified and successfully tested, such as reducing the peak line charge density after RF capture, i.e. increasing the rms longitudinal emittance, and compensating third order resonances using existing harmonic sextupole correctors. New record intensities at extraction have been achieved. This talk describes the main experimental results from the 2015 measurement campaign including already implemented mitigation measures and the proposed strategy for even further increasing the LEIR intensity reach in the future. | |||

TUAM7Y11 | High Current Uranium Beam Measurements at GSI-UNILAC for FAIR | brilliance, emittance, target, proton | 319 |
|
|||
In the context of an advanced machine investigation program supporting the ongoing UNILAC (Universal Linear Accelerator) upgrade program, a new uranium beam intensity record (10 emA, U29+) at very high beam brilliance was achieved last year in a machine experiment campaign at GSI. The UNILAC as well as the heavy ion synchrotron SIS18 will serve as a high current heavy ion injector for the new FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) synchrotron SIS100. Results of the accomplished high current uranium beam measurements applying a newly developed pulsed hydrogen gas stripper (at 1.4'MeV/u) will be presented. The paper will focus on the evaluation and analysis of the measured beam brilliance and further implications to fulfil the FAIR heavy ion high intensity beam requirements. | |||

WEAM4X01 | Numerical Modeling of Fast Beam Ion Instabilities | simulation, electron, damping, linac | 368 |
|
|||
The fast beam ion instability may pose a risk to the operation of future electron accelerators with beams of high intensity and small emittances, including several structures of the proposed CLIC accelerator complex. Numerical models can be used to identify necessary vacuum specifications to suppress the instability, as well as requirements for a possible feedback system. Vacuum requirements imposed by the instability have previously been estimated for linear CLIC structures, using the strong-strong macroparticle simulation tool FASTION. Currently, efforts are being made to improve the simulation tools, and allow for equivalent studies of circular structures, such as the CLIC damping rings, on a multi-turn scale. In this contribution, we review the recent code developments, and present first simulation results. | |||

WEPM8X01 | Collimation Design and Beam Loss Detection at FRIB | detector, monitoring, collimation, network | 400 |
|
|||
Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661. As a multi-charge-state, heavy-ion, superconducting accelerator with a folded geometry, FRIB faces unique beam loss detection and collimation challenges to protect superconducting cavities from beam-induced damage. Collimation is especially important in the Folding Segment 1 where the multiple charge states are created by a charge stripper and selected by a charge selector. The transported ECR contaminants, interaction with the residual gas, and beam halo due to stripping could induced significant beam losses in this region. We have simulated the potential beam losses and planned collimation accordingly. A layered loss detection network is also specifically designed to visualize potential blind zones and to meet the stringent requirements on loss detection. The related sub-systems are designed and procured and are introduced in this paper. |

WEAM5Y01 | Analyzing and Matching of Mixed High Intensity Highly Charged Ion Beams | solenoid, space-charge, ion-source, simulation | 422 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 11575265, 11427904) and the “973” Program of China (No. 2014CB845501). Electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources are widely used in heavy ion accelerators for their advantages in producing high quality intense beams of highly charged ions. However, it exists challenges in the design of the Q/A selection systems for mixed high intensity ion beams to reach sufficient Q/A resolution while controlling the beam emittance growth. Moreover, as the emittance of beam from ECR ion sources is coupled, the matching of phase space to post accelerator, for a wide range of ion beam species with different intensities, should be carefully studied. In this paper, the simulation and experimental results of the Q/A selection system at the LECR4 platform are shown. The formation of hollow cross section heavy ion beam at the end of the Q/A selector is revealed. A reasonable interpretation has been proposed, a modified design of the Q/A selection system has been committed for HIRFL-SSC linac injector. The features of the new design including beam simulations and experiment results are also presented. |

WEPM5Y01 | H− Beam Dynamics Study of a LEBT in XiPAF Project with the WARP PIC Code | simulation, space-charge, rfq, proton | 449 |
|
|||
The 7 MeV H− linac injector of Xi‘an Proton Application Facility (XiPAF) is composed of an ECR ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport line (LEBT), a Radio Frequency Quadrupole accelerator (RFQ) and a Drift Tube Linac (DTL). The 1.7 m-long LEBT is used for matching a 40 μs pulse width 6 mA peak current beam to the entrance of the RFQ accelerator. The peak current and pulse-width of the 50 keV H− beam extracted from the ion source is 10 mA and 1 ms respectively. In the LEBT, an adjustable aperture is used for scraping the peak current of the beam to 6 mA, and an electric chopper is used for chopping the beam pulse width to 40 μs. These elements make the space charge compensation problem more complicated. A careful simulation of the space charge compensation problem of the H− beam has been done by considering the beam particles interacting with the residual gas with the help of WARP PIC code. To achieve the requirements of the LEBT in XiPAF, the type and pressure of the residual gas is given according to the simulation results. | |||

WEPM6Y01 | Study on Space Charge Compensation of Low Energy High Intensity Ion Beam in Peking University | space-charge, simulation, experiment, ion-source | 453 |
|
|||
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. | |||

WEPM8Y01 | Simulation of Space-Charge Compensation of a Low-Energy Proton Beam in a Drift Section | simulation, electron, emittance, proton | 458 |
|
|||
Space-charge compensation provided by the accumulation of particles of opposing charge in the beam potential is an important effect occuring in magnetostatic low energy beam transport sections of high-intensity accelerators. An improved understanding of its effects might provide valuable input for the design of these beam lines. One approach to model the compensation process are Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations including residual gas ionisation. In simulations of a drifting proton beam, using the PIC code bender [1], some features of thermal equilibrium for the compensation electrons were found. This makes it possible to predict their spatial distribution using the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and thus the influence on beam transport. In this contribution, we will provide a comparison between the PIC simulations and the model as well as some ideas concerning the source of the (partial) thermalization.

THAM2X01 | The Operation Experience at KOMAC | target, operation, linac, DTL | 468 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning of the Korean Government. A 100-MeV proton linac at the KOMAC (Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex) is composed of a 50-keV microwave ion source, a 3-MeV four-vane-type RFQ, a 100-MeV DTL and 10 target stations for proton irradiation on samples from many application fields. The linac was commissioned in 2013 and the user service started in July 2013 with delivering proton beam to two target stations: one for a 20-MeV beam and the other for a 100-MeV beam. In 2015, the linac has been operated more than 2,800 hours with an availability of greater than 89%. The unscheduled downtime was about 73 hours, mainly due to problems of ion source arcing and failures of pulsed high-voltage power system. More than 2,100 samples from various fields such as materials science, bio-life and nano technology and nuclear science, were treated in 2015. Currently, a new target station for radioisotope production is under commissioning and a new target station for low-flux irradiation experiments is being installed. Operational experiences of the 100-MeV linac during the past 3 years will be presented in the workshop. |

THPM5X01 | Using an Electron Cooler for Space Charge Compensation in the GSI Synchrotron SIS18 | electron, space-charge, experiment, focusing | 496 |
|
|||
Funding: Work is supported by BMBF contract FKZ:05P15RDRBA 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. |

THPM5Y01 | Design and Beam Dynamics Studies of a Multi-Ion Linac Injector for the JLEIC Ion Complex | linac, rfq, light-ion, DTL | 559 |
|
|||
Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, under contract number DE-AC02-06CH11357. The electron-ion collider being developed at JLAB requires a new ion accelerator complex which includes a linac capable of delivering any ion beam from hydrogen to lead to the booster. We are currently developing a linac which consists of several ion sources, a normal conducting (NC) front end, up to 5 MeV/u, and a SC section for energies > 5 MeV/u. The development work is focused on beam dynamics and electrodynamics studies to design efficient and cost-effective accelerating structures for both the NC and SC sections of the linac. Currently we are considering two RFQs following either heavy-ion sources or light-ion sources including polarized beams, and several different types of NC accelerating structures downstream of the RFQ. Quarter-wave and half-wave resonators can be effectively used in the SC section. |

THPM8Y01 | Beam Energy Loss in a β=0.09 SRF HWR Cavity for 100 mA Proton Acceleration | cavity, HOM, SRF, factory | 567 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by National Basic Research Project (No.2014CB845504) There’s presently a growing demand for cw high current proton and deuteron linear accelerators based on superconducting technology to better support various fields of science. Up to now, high order modes (HOMs) studies induced by ion beams with current higher than 10mA and even 100 mA accelerated by low β non-elliptical Superconducting rf (SRF) cavities are very few. One of the main HOM related issues of the SRF linac is the HOM-induced power. HOM power is the important part of beam energy loss which is used to estimate the cryogenic losses. In this paper, we compare the beam energy loss induced by 100 mA beam passing through a β=0.09 HWR SRF cavity calculated from time domain solver and frequency domain cavity eigenmodes spectrum method. |

THPM9Y01 | An Advanced Procedure for Longitudinal Beam Matching for SC CW Heavy Ion Linac With Variable Output Energy | cavity, linac, emittance, acceleration | 571 |
|
|||
A multi-stage programm for the developmnet of a heavy ion superconducting (SC) continuous wave (CW) linac is in progress at HIM (Mainz, Germany), GSI (Darmstadt, Germany) and IAP (Frankfurt, Germany). The main beam acceleration is provided by up to nine multi-gap CH cavities. Due to variable beam energy, which coud be provided by each cavity separate, a longitudinal beam matching to each cavity is extremely important. The linac should provide the beam for physics experiments, smothly varying the output particle energy from 3.5 to 7.3 MeV/u, simultaneously keeping high beam quality. A dedicated algorythm for such a complicate matching, providing for the optimum machine settings (voltage and rf phase for each cavity), has been developed. The description of method and the obtained reasuts are discussed in this paper. | |||
