CERN is planning the renovation and upgrade of the beam loss detection system for the Proton Synchrotron (PS). Improved performance in speed–to be able to monitor beam loss on a bunch-by-bunch basis–and in long-term stability–to reduce or avoid the need for periodic calibration–are aimed for. To select the most suitable technology, different detectors were benchmarked in the machine with respect to the same beam loss. The characteristics of the different detectors, the results of the measurement campaign and their suitability as future monitors for the PS are presented.

The SLAC 3km linear electron accelerator has been reconfigured to provide a beam of electrons to the new FACET facility while simultaneously providing an electron beam to the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). FACET is a new experimental facility constructed in the linac tunnel that can transport, compress, and focus electron bunches to support a variety of accelerator R&D experiments. In this paper, we describe our first experiences with the operation of the linac for this new facility.

FACET (Facility for Advanced Accelerator and Experimental Tests) is a new User Facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Its high power electron and positron beams make it a unique facility, ideal for beam-driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration studies. The first 2 km of the SLAC linac produce 23 GeV, 3.2 nC electron and positron beams with short bunch lengths of 20 um. A final focusing system can produce beam spots 10um wide. User-aided Commissioning took place in summer 2011 and FACET will formally come online in early 2012. We present the User Facility, the current features, planned upgrades and the opportunities for further experiments.

The study of polarization is essential for e+/e^- colliders like the SuperB machine. The ZGOUBI integrator is a good and universal tool for particle tracking as well as spin tracking, and takes into account all machine realistic aspects, like real fields, non-linearities, fringing fields or misalignments. We present ZGOUBI implementation and the methods carried out to estimate invariant spin field and beam polarization evolution on some simple models (for validation) and on SuperB, and we investigate for some specific polarization behavior.

The SuperB collider project has been recently approved by the Italian Government as part of the National Research Plan. SuperB is a high luminosity (10³6 cm^-2 s^-1) asymmetric e⁺e⁻ collider at the Y(4S) energy. The design is based on a “large Piwinski angle and Crab Waist” scheme already successfully tested at the DAΦNE Phi-Factory in Frascati, Italy. The project combines the challenges of high luminosity colliders and state-of-the-art synchrotron light sources, with two beams (e⁺ at 6.7 and e^- at 4.2 GeV) with extremely low emittances and small beam sizes at the Interaction Point. As unique features, the electron beam will be longitudinally polarized at the IP and the rings will be able to ramp down to collide at the tau/charm energy threshold with one tenth the luminosity. The relatively low beam currents (about 2 A) will allow for low running (power) costs compared to similar machines. The insertion of beam lines for synchrotron radiation users is the latest feature included in the design. The lattice has been recently modified to accommodate insertion devices for X-rays production. A status of the project and a description of R&D in progress will be presented.
