    JAEA/J-PARC, Tokai-mura, Japan
 
  The J-PARC RCS is a high-power rapid cycling synchrotron aiming for a 1-MW output beam power. This talk reports the recent progress of the J-PARC RCS beam commissioning and operation especially focusing on our efforts for beam dynamics issues that we faced during the process of the beam power ramp-up.

The paper considers a beam interaction with a feedback system and major limitations on the beam damping rate. In particular, it discusses: limitations on the system gain and damping rate, feedback system noise and its effect on the beam emittance growth, x-y coupling effect on damping, suppression of high order modes and damping of slip-stacked beams.

  This study reports on an alternative method to generate transverse Landau damping to suppress coherent instabilities in circular accelerators. The incoherent betatron tune spread can be produced through detuning with longitudinal rather than transverse action. This approach is motivated by the high-brightness, low transverse emittance beams in future colliders where detuning with transverse amplitude will be less effective. Detuning with longitudinal action can be introduced with a radio frequency (rf) quadrupole, or similarly, using second-order chromaticity. The latter was enhanced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and experimental results on single-bunch stabilization are briefly recapped. The observations are interpreted analytically by extending the Vlasov formalism to include nonlinear chromaticity. Finally, the newly developed theory is benchmarked against circulant matrix and particle tracking models.

WEP2PO001 Upgraded Transverse Feedback for the CERN PS Booster feedback, kicker, hardware, booster 256
 
  • A. Blas, G. Kotzian
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  A new transverse feedback system is being used for the 4 rings of the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB). In addition to transverse instabilities mitigation - within the range of 100 kHz to 100 MHz - the system allows for controlled beam emittance blow-up, machine tune measurement and other optic studies. The system was upgraded in order to multiply by 8 its power (800 W instead of 100 W on each of the 4 kicker electrodes) and in order for its electronic core to employ a digital processing. The transverse feedback adapts automatically to a factor 3 change in the beam revolution period and to any change of the machine tune. It includes an excitation source that combines up to 9 selectable harmonics of the revolution frequency with a selectable amplitude for each. The excitation may be dipolar or quadrupolar. Future possible upgrades will be presented including a setup to tackle half-integer tune values and a digital processing using a fixed clock frequency instead of the revolution frequency clock.

WEP2PO024 Resonance Stop-bands Compensation at Booster Ring of HIAF resonance, alignment, injection, coupling 315

  Booster Ring (BRing) of the new approved High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) in China is designed to stack 0.3-1.0·1011 number of 238U35+ ions by painting injection and deliver over such intensity beam in extraction. However, depressed tune spread caused by space charge effect crosses the low-order resonance stop-bands after bunching the storage beam. To keep a low beam loss during crossing, stop-band compensation scheme is proposed covering the whole process of RF capture and early acceleration.

THP2WC02 LLRF Studies for HL-LHC Crab Cavities cavity, feedback, emittance, luminosity 440

  The HL-LHC upgrade includes sixteen Crab Cavities (CC) to be installed on both sides of the high luminosity experiments, ATLAS and CMS. Two issues have been highlighted for the Low Level RF: transverse emittance growth (and associated luminosity drop) caused by CC RF noise, and large collimator losses following a CC trip. A prototype cryomodule with two CCs has been installed in the SPS, and tests have started in May 2018 with beam. This paper briefly reports on preliminary results from the SPS tests. It then presents emittance growth calculations from cavity field phase and amplitude noise, deduces the maximum RF noise compatible with the specifications and presents a possible cure consisting of a feedback on CC phase and amplitude. To reduce the losses following a CC trip we propose to implement transverse tail cleaning via the injection of CC noise with an optimized spectrum, which selectively excites the particles of large transverse oscillation amplitudes.
