WEP2PO001 Upgraded Transverse Feedback for the CERN PS 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.

WEP2PO002 Scaling Laws for the Time Dependence of Luminosity in Hadron Circular Accelerators based on Simple Models of Dynamic Aperture Evolution 260
 
  • F.F. Van der Veken, M. Giovannozzi
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  In recent years, models for the time-evolution of the dynamic aperture have been proposed and applied to the analysis of non-linear betatronic motion in circular accelerators. In this paper, these models are used to derive scaling laws for the luminosity evolution and are applied to the analysis of the data collected during the LHC physics runs. An extended set of fills from the LHC proton physics has been analysed and the results presented and discussed in detail. The long-term goal of these studies is to improve the estimate of the performance reach of the HL-LHC.

WEP2PO003 Beam Loading and Longitudinal Stability Evaluation for the FCC-ee Rings 266
 
  • I. Karpov, P. Baudrenghien
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  In high-current accelerators, interaction of the beam with fundamental impedance of the accelerating cavities can limit machine performance. It can result in a significant variation of bunch-by-bunch parameters (bunch length, synchronous phase, etc.) and lead to longitudinal coupled-bunch instability. In this work, these limitations are analysed together with possible cures for the high-current option (Z machine) of the future circular electron-positron collider (FCC-ee). The time-domain calculations of steady-state beam loading are presented and compared with frequency-domain analysis.

WEP2PO006 Overview of the CERN PSB-to-PS Transfer Line Optics Matching Studies in View of the LHC Injectors Upgrade Project 272

  At injection into the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) a significant horizontal emittance blow-up of the present high brightness beams for the LHC is observed. A partial contribution to this effect is suspected to be an important mismatch between the dispersion function in the transfer line from the PS Booster (PSB) and the ring itself. This mismatch will be unacceptable in view of the beam parameters requested by the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project with high longitudinal emittance and momentum spread. To deliver the requested beam parameters the PSB-to-PS transfer line will be upgraded and the optics in the line changed to improve the matching from all the four PSB rings. A re-matching campaign from the PSB ring 3 has been carried out to evaluate the impact of the present optics mismatch as a source of emittance growth both in simulations and measurements.

WEP2PO007 Multi-Particle Simulations of the Future CERN PSB Injection Process with Updated Linac4 Beam Performance 278
 
  • V. Forte, C. Bracco, G.P. Di Giovanni, M.A. Fraser, A.M. Lombardi, B. Mikulec
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, the injection process in the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) will be renovated after the connection with the Linac4. A new H charge exchange injection system using a stripping foil is foreseen to increase the brightness of the stored beams and to provide high flexibility in terms of emittance tailoring at 160 MeV. Realistic multi-particle simulations of the future injection processes for high brightness beams (i.e. for the LHC) and high intensity beams (i.e. for the ISOLDE experiment) are presented in this paper. The simulations are based on the present performance of Linac4 and include scattering induced by the foil, space charge effects and compensation of the lattice perturbation introduced by the bumpers of the injection chicane.

  A local Crab Cavity (CC) scheme will recover the head-on collisions at the IP of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), which aims to increase the LHC luminosity by a factor of 3-10. The tight space constraints at the CC location result in axially non-symmetric cavity designs that introduce high order multipole CC components. The impact of these high order components on the long term stability of the beam in the SPS machine, where two prototype crab cavities are presently installed in the CERN SPS to perform tests with beam, is presented. Furthermore, the Dynamic Aperture is studied in the presence of the SPS errors. Future plans are discussed.

  In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU), beams with about twice the intensity compared to the present values will have to be accelerated by the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and extracted towards the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Machine studies with intensity higher than the nominal LHC beam have shown that coherent instabilities in both transverse planes may develop at injection energy, potentially becoming a limitation for the future high intensity operation. In particular, a transverse mode coupling instability is encountered in the vertical plane, the threshold of which can be sufficiently increased by changing the machine optics. In addition, a headtail instability of individual bunches is observed in the horizontal plane in multi-bunch operation, which requires stabilization by high chromaticity. The PyHEADTAIL code has been used to check if the present SPS impedance model reproduces the experimental observations. The instability growth rates have been studied for different machine optics configurations and different chromaticity settings. Other stabilizing mechanisms like tune spread from octupoles or the transverse damper have also been investigated.

WEP2PO015 Progress and Plan of the Fast Protection System in the RAON Accelerator 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 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.

WEP2PO022 Study on the Phase Space Painting Injection during the Beam Commissioning for CSNS 309
 
  • M.Y. Huang, S. Wang, S.Y. Xupresenter
    IHEP, Beijing, People's Republic of China
 
  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.

WEP2PO024 Resonance Stop-bands Compensation at Booster Ring of HIAF 315
 
  • J. Li, J.C. Yang
    IMP/CAS, Lanzhou, People's Republic of China
 
  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.

  A 4D emittance measurement device has recently been installed in PSI's high intensity proton accelerator (HIPA) after the acceleration tube of the Cockcroft-Walton pre-accelerator. A pinhole collimator is moved 2D transversally and at each collimator position, the resulting beamlet is downstream scanned 2D by vertically moving over it a horizontal linear array of small electrodes. The properties of this setup and the intended use are discussed.

  A test of the lifetime of an amorphous carbon foil of ~79 ug/cm2 was performed at PSI in the transfer line between Injector 2 and Ring cyclotron during the regularly beam production. The 72 MeV ~1.7 mA proton beam had a central current density of ~2.8 mA/cm2. Two spots on the foil were irradiated alternatively with in total three fractions of 17, 52 and 119 mAh. Foil thickness was measured before and after irradiation at several positions via the energy loss of alpha-particles from a 241Am source in the foil. We discuss the observed foil damage as well as the experimental setup, the estimation of the beam parameters and practical boundary conditions.
