MOA1PL01 Challenges in Understanding Space Charge Dynamics 1
 
  • H. Bartosik
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  Space charge effects in high intensity and high brightness synchrotrons can lead to undesired beam emittance growth, beam halo formation and particle loss. A series of dedicated machine experiments has been performed over the past decade in order to study these effects in the particular regime of long-term beam storage (105-106 turns) as required for certain applications. This paper gives an overview of the present understanding of the underlying beam dynamics mechanisms. In particular it focuses on the space charge induced periodic resonance crossing, which has been identified as the main mechanism causing beam degradation in this regime. The challenges in further progressing with the understanding, the modelling and the mitigation of these space charge effects and the resulting beam degradation are discussed. Furthermore, an outlook for possible future directions of studies is presented.

MOA1PL02 Beam Dynamics Challenges for the LHC and Injector Upgrades 8
 
  • G. Rumolo
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  The High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will rely on significantly higher bunch current and brightness to meet the future yearly integrated luminosity target. The implications are twofold. On one side, all the accelerators of the LHC injection chain will have to be upgraded to produce the desired beam parameters. For this purpose, the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) program has been established to implement all the needed modifications for meeting the required beam specifications. These upgrades will lead to the lifting of the main intensity and brightness limitations in the injectors, linked to beam instabilities driven by impedance or electron cloud (e-cloud), and space charge. On the other side, the LHC will have to be able to swallow the new beam parameters. This will mainly require control of impedance driven instabilities and beam-beam effects, and e-cloud mitigation. In this paper, we will focus on proton beams by describing the identified performance limitations of the LHC and its injectors, as well as the actions envisioned to overcome them.

MOA1PL03 Linac4 Commissioning Status and Challenges to Nominal Operation 14
 
  • G. Bellodi
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  Linac4 will be connected to the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) during the next long LHC shutdown in 2019 and it will operationally replace Linac2 as provider of protons to the CERN complex as of 2021. Commissioning to the final beam energy of 160 MeV was achieved by the end of 2016. Linac4 is presently under-going a reliability and beam quality test run to meet the beam specifications and relative tolerances requested by the PSB. In this paper we will detail the main challenges left before achieving nominal operation and we will re-port on the commissioning steps still needed for final validation of machine readiness before start of operation.

FRIB: Accelerator Physics Update and Initial Commissioning

  Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is under construction at the Michigan State University. The driver linac consists of a front-end, three superconducting segments connected by two 180-degree bending sections, and a beam delivery system, which will accelerate all stable ions beyond 200 MeV/u and deliver beam to a fragment target with power up to 400 kW. The front-end beam commissioning has been completed recently, and the commissioning of the first three cryomodules is underway. This talk will update the accelerator physics associated with construction and commissioning, present initial beam commissioning results, and report the current status of the project.

Status of the RAON and its Beam Dynamics  
 
  • J.-H. Jang

  RISP (rare isotope science project) is developing a superconducting linac called RAON which can accelerate uranium beams 200 MeV/u of beam energy and 400 kW of beam power for uranium case. The broad range of ions from proton (A/q = 1) to uranium (A/q=7.2) will be used in RAON facility for the application in basic and applied sciences. RAON can also accelerate rare isotope beams generated by ISOL facility in order to generate more exotic isotope beams. Last year, the initial beam test in the SCL demo facility was successfully finished. Based on the vertical and horizontal tests for several types of SCL cavities, the mass production of the supercoducting cavities and cryomodules will start in this year. The beam optics study on error effects in the linac also confirmed that the beam loss should be less than 1 W/m through the linac. This work summarized the status of the linac development, the beam experiment in the SCL demo facility, and the important results in its beam dynamics.

WEA1PL01 What is Missing for the Design and Operation of High-Power Linacs? 195
 
  • A.P. Shishlo
    ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
 
  Funding: This manuscript has been authored by UT-Battelle, LLC, under Contract No. DE-AC0500OR22725 with the U.S. Department of Energy.
The design process, tuning, and operation of high-power linacs are discussed. The inconsistencies between the basic beam physics principles used in the design and the operation practices are considered. The missing components of the beam physics tools for the design and operations are examined, especially for negative hydrogen ions linacs. The diagnostics and online models necessary for tuning and characterization of existing states of the linac are discussed.

Nonlinear Integrable Optics to Facilitate High Intensity Operation

  Funding: Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy.
The nonlinear integrable optics is a novel concept for the use in storage rings. The benefits of strongly nonlinear betatron dynamics include the large particle frequency spread, which facilitates the Landau damping of coherent beam instabilities, and the potential to suppress the nonlinear resonances induced by forces such as space-charge. This talk discusses the recent progress in the numerical studies of the nonlinear integrable optics in high-intensity synchrotrons, presents the status of the first tests at Fermilab's IOTA ring, and provides an outlook for future research.
