MOA1PL03 Linac4 Commissioning Status and Challenges to Nominal Operation linac, operation, injection, emittance 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.

  The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is an accelerator-based science facility. CSNS is designed to accelerate proton beam pulses to 1.6 GeV kinetic energy, striking a solid metal target to produce spallation neutrons. CSNS has two major accelerator systems, a linear accelerator (80 MeV Linac) and a 1.6 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). The Beam commissioning of CSNS has been commissioned recently. Beam had been accelerated to 61 MeV at CSNS/Linac on April 24, 2017, and 1.6 GeV acceleration at CSNS/RCS was successfully accomplished on July 7, 2017 with the injection energy of 61 MeV. Beam had been accelerated to 80 MeV at CSNS/Linac on January 6, 2018, and 1.6 GeV acceleration at CSNS/RCS was successfully accomplished on January 18, 2018 with the injection energy of 80 MeV. The initial machine parameter tuning and various beam studies were completed. In this paper, the commissioning experiences are introduced.

TUA2WD01 FAIR Commissioning - Concepts and Strategies in View of High-Intensity Operation operation, controls, experiment, target 141
 
  • R.J. Steinhagen
    GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
 
  The Facility for Anti-Proton and Ion Research (FAIR) presently under construction, extends and supersedes GSI's existing infrastructure. Its core challenges include the precise control of highest proton and uranium ion beam intensities, the required extreme high vacuum conditions, machine protection and activation issues while providing a high degree of multi-user mode of operation with facility reconfiguration on time-scales of a few times per week. Being based on best-practices at other laboratories, this contribution outlines the applicable hardware and beam commissioning strategies, as well as concepts, beam-based and other accelerator systems that are being tested at the existing facility in view of the prospective FAIR operation.

WEP2PO015 Progress and Plan of the Fast Protection System in the RAON Accelerator operation, controls, interface, machine-protect 296
 
  • H. Jin, Y. Choi, S. Lee
    IBS, Daejeon, Republic of Korea
 
  In the RAON accelerator, beams generated by ion sources like ECR-IS or ISOL are accelerated to an energy of up to 200 MeV/u before reaching the laboratory target, and the beam power reaches up to about 400 kW at that moment. During transportation of such a beam, if beam loss occurs due to a device malfunction or a sudden change in beam condition, the accelerator can be severely damaged. Therefore, we have developed a machine protection system to protect the devices by minimizing the damage and to operate the accelerator in safe. As part of the RAON machine protection system, a FPGA-based fast protection system (FPS) that can protect devices within a few tens of microseconds after detecting the moment of beam loss has been developed since 2016. The development and test of the FPS prototype was successfully completed last year, and we are now preparing for mass production of the FPS. Here we will present the progress of the FPS development and the future plan for the FPS in the RAON accelerator.

    IHEP, Beijing, People's Republic of China
 
  For China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), the septum magnets are the key part of the injection system and the lambertson magnet is the key part of the extraction system. If the leakage fields of the septum and lambertson magnets are large enough, the circular beam orbit of Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) would be affected. In this paper, during the beam commissioning, the leakage fields of the septum and lambertson magnets will be studied and their effects on the circular beam orbit will be given and discussed.

WEP2PO018 Magnetic Field Tracking at CSNS/RCS controls, acceleration, quadrupole, dipole 306
 
  • S.Y. Xu, S. Fu
    IHEP, Beijing, People's Republic of China
 
  Because of the differences of magnetic saturation and eddy current effects between different magnets, magnetic field tracking errors between different magnets is larger than 2.5 % at the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), and the induced tune shift is larger than 0.1. So larger tune shift may lead the beam to pass through the resonance lines. To reduce the magnetic field tracking errors, a method of wave form compensation for magnets of the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron was investigated on the magnets of CSNS/RCS. The wave form compensation was applied to CSNS/RCS commissioning. By performing wave form compensation, the maximum magnetic field tracking error was reduced from 2.5 % to 0.08 %, and the maximum tune shift over the ramping process was reduced from 0.1 to 0.004.

  During the beam commissioning of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), different injection methods were used in different periods. In the early stage, since the precise position of the injection point was unknown and the beam power was relatively small, the fixed point injection was selected. In the later period, in order to increase the beam power and reduce the beam loss, the phase space painting method was used. In this paper, the phase space painting in the horizontal and vertical planes is studied in detail and the beam commissioning results of different painting injection are given and discussed. In addition, the different injection effects of the fixed point injection and painting injection are compared and studied.

  The extraction system is a key part of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) accelerator. It consists of two kinds of magnets: eight kickers and one lambertson. During the beam commissioning, the timing adjustment of eight kickers is a very important problem. In the paper, the methods to adjust the timing of eight kickers will be studied and applied to the beam commissioning. Then, the best method to adjust the timing of eight kickers will be given and used for a long time in the future.

  • R. Steerenberg, J. Wenninger
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  The CERN Large Hadron Collider Run II saw an important increase in beam performance through both, improvements in the LHC and an increased beam brightness from the injectors, leading to a peak luminosity that exceeds the LHC design luminosity by more than a factor two. This contribution will give an overview of run 2, the main challenges encountered and it will address the measures applied to deal with and make use of the increased beam brightness. Finally potential areas where further performance improvement can be a realized will be identified.

  The IFMIF project aiming at material tests for a future fusion DEMO reactor is under the EVEDA phase in the BA Agreement of fusion program between Japan and EU. As the accelerator activity, the installation and commissioning of the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is at the second stage of demonstration of the feasibility of the low energy section of an IFMIF deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV with a beam current of 125 mA, CW. The installation of injector, RFQ, MEBT, D-Plate and LPBD for LIPAc with 8 coaxial high-power transmission lines and RF power system was just done in 2017 at Rokkasho, Japan. After that, the RF conditioning of RFQ for beam commissioning is underway. The beam commissioning of RFQ with H+/D+ and the acceleration demonstration up to 5 MeV-125 mA-0.1% duty cycle with D+ will be done.
