  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has achieved correction of beta beat down to better than 5%. The beam-beam interactions at the four experiments result as extra quadrupole error in the lattice. This will produce a change of the β* at the experiments and a beating along the arcs which for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will be very large. Estimations of these effects will be given with the characterisation of the amplitude dependency. A first attempt to correct his beating is also discussed.

MOPR029 On the Impact of Non-Symplecticity of Space Charge Solvers space-charge, emittance, simulation, resonance 146

To guarantee long-term reliability in the predictions of a numerical integrator, it is a well-known requirement that the underlying map has to be symplectic. It is therefore important to examine in detail the impact on emittance growth and noise generation in case this condition is violated. We present a strategy of how to tackle this question and some results obtained for particular PIC and frozen space charge models.

MOPR034 Suppression of Half-Integer Resonance in Fermilab Booster lattice, space-charge, booster, resonance 164

  The particle losses at injection in the FNAL Booster are one of the major factors limiting the machine performance. The losses are caused by motion non-linearity due to direct space charge and due to non-linearity introduced by large values of chromaticity sextupoles required to suppress transverse instabilities. The report aims to address the former - the suppression of incoherent space charge effects by reducing deviations from the perfect periodicity of linear optics functions. It should be achieved by high accuracy optics measurements with subsequent optics correction and by removing known sources of optics perturbations. The study shows significant impact of optics correction on the half-integer stop band with subsequent reduction of particle loss. We use realistic Booster lattice model to understand the present limitations, and investigate the possible improvements which would allow high intensity operation with PIP-II parameters.

The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) is a research machine currently being designed and built at Fermilab. The research program includes the study of nonlinear integrable lattices, beam dynamics with self fields, and optical stochastic cooling. One section of the ring will contain an electron lens, a low-energy magnetized electron beam overlapping with the circulating beam. The electron lens can work as a nonlinear element, as an electron cooler, or as a space-charge compensator. We describe the physical principles, experiment design, and hardware implementation plans for the IOTA electron lens.

MOPL002 The DESIR Facility at GANIL-SPIRAL2: The Transfer Beam Lines quadrupole, ion, diagnostics, emittance 179

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.

MOPL011 Laser Stripping H Charge Exchange Injection by Femtosecond Lasers laser, resonance, proton, injection 212
 
  • T.V. Gorlov
    ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
 
  A new method for H laser assistant charge exchange injection using femtosecond laser pulses is considered. The existing method uses a divergent laser beam that allows compensation of angular and momentum spread of the stripped beam. The femtosecond laser pulse has a similar property that can compensate the spread and yield efficient laser stripping. Results of simulations with realistic femtosecond laser and H beam parameters are discussed. The proposed method may have some benefit for particular technical conditions compared with others.

At the J-PARC, spallation neutron and muon sources are injected 3-GeV proton beam with power of 1 MW extracted from 25 Hz Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS). Recently several shots of the beam with equivalent power of 1 MW were successfully delivered to the targets without significant beam loss. Since the pitting erosion on the mercury target vessel utilized for spallation neutron source is known to be proportional to the 4th power of the beam current density, peak current density at the target should be kept as low as possible so that we have developed beam-flattening system by nonlinear beam optics using octupole magnets. To carry out the beam tuning efficiently, beam-tuning tool had been developed by using SAD code system. It is found that the shape of the beam can be controlled as designed. By using anti-correlated painting at the injection of the RCS, the beam was found to be shaped more flat distribution. The peak current density at the target can be reduced by 30 % with the present nonlinear optics without significant beam loss around at octupole magnets, which mitigates 76 % of the damage at the target vessel.

THAM5Y01 Path to Beam Loss Reduction in the SNS Linac Using Measurements, Simulation and Collimation emittance, linac, collimation, operation 548

  Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy.
The SNS linac operation at its design average power currently is not limited by uncontrolled beam loss. However, further reduction of the beam loss remains an important aspect of the SNS linac tune up and operation. Even small “acceptable” beam loss leads to long term degradation of the accelerator equipment. The current state of model-based tuning at SNS leaves an unacceptably large residual beam loss level and has to be followed by an empirical, sometimes random, adjustment of many parameters to reduce the loss. This talk will discuss a set of coordinated efforts to develop tools for large dynamic range measurements, simulation and collimation in order to facilitate low loss linac tuning.
