| TUPC104 | Beam Loss Detected by Scintillation Monitor | beam-losses, linac, cavity, simulation | 1257 |
|
|||
| Ar gas proportional BLMs have measured the beam loss through operations, but they are also sensitive to background noise of X-ray emitted from RF cavities. We have tried to measure the beam loss using scintillation monitors which would bring more accurate beam loss measurements with suppression of X-ray noise. We measured beam loss using scintillation beam loss monitors. Because this scintillation BLM is sensitive for low energy gamma-rays and fast neutrons, small signals from X-rays would be also detected. As the measurement results, a good signal to noise ratio is observed for the scintillation monitor with quite low sensitivity to the background X-ray. And many single events are observed in the intermediate pulse bunch with about 600 ns as pulse width. In addition, because we fabricated the filter and integrated circuit, total amount of X-ray noise can become smaller. We obtained the good performances of scintillation BLM with small effect of X-ray noise. This monitor can be used for beam loss measurement and a knob for tuning. Furthermore, because the detail structure can be detected, this monitor could be employed for another diagnostic device. | |||
| TUPC106 | Courant-Snyder Invariant Density Screening Method for Emittance Analysis | emittance, beam-transport, background, ion-source | 1263 |
|
|||
| The emittance is an important characteristic of describing charged particle beams. In hadron accelerators, we often meet irregular beam distributions that are not appropriate to be described with a single rms or 95% or total emittance. In many cases beam halo should be described with very different Courant-Snyder parameters from the ones for beam core. A new method – Courant-Snyder invariant density screening method is developed for analyzing emittance data clearly and accurately. The method treats emittance data from both measurements and numerical simulations. The method uses the statistical distribution of the beam around each particle in phase space to mark its local density parameter, and then uses the density distribution to calculate the beam parameters such as Courant-Snyder parameters and emittance for different beam boundary definitions. The method has been used in the calculations for the beams from difference sources, and shows its advantages over other methods. An application code based on the method including the graphic interface has also been designed using the Matlab software. | |||
| TUPC123 | Evaluation of New Generation Heavy Particle Beam Diagnostics Instrumentation | single-bunch, instrumentation, diagnostics, controls | 1305 |
|
|||
| Abstract: This paper presents the achievements in the field of heavy particle beam diagnostics instrumentation. Two different instruments are presented: Libera Single Pass H and Libera Hadron, designed for linear and circular heavy particle beam diagnostics applications respectively. Beside high precision beam position measurement application, these instruments offer much more. Accurate beam arrival time measurements, high resolution single bunch position and charge measurements, beam current and fill pattern measurements are performed. The instruments are evaluated through extensive laboratory measurements, on the real beam and on stepper-motor driven test-benches. Libera instruments are network attached devices, developed on uTCA based platform that enables smooth integration of many instruments in the control system network and a simplified implementation of custom signal processing algorithms. | |||
| TUPS034 | Development and Construction of the Beam Dump for J-PARC Hadron Hall | proton, gun, status, radiation | 1608 |

Funding: This work is supported by Grant-in-Aid (No.22740184) for Young Scientists (B) of the Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology [MEXT]. A facility of Hadron hall at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) had been constructed in June 2007. Hadron hall is designed to handle intense slow-extraction proton beam from the main accelerator of J-PARC, i.e. 50-GeV-PS. The first transportation of the proton beam to the hall was successfully made in Jan. 2009. A beam dump constructed at the end of the primary proton beam line in Hadron hall is designed to safely absorb 15 μA (=750-kW) proton beam. Its central core of the dump is made of copper with water cooling and is surrounded by iron and concrete for radiation protection. We made thermal and mechanical FEM analysis for investigating heat generation and mechanical stress from energy deposition. We also made cooling experiments for measuring heat transfer coefficient of candidates for new cooling device. As a result, the adopted device has direct cooling paths which are prepared as long holes made by Gun Drill from the outer surface of the copper core. In addition, the beam dump is designed to safely move to 50-m downstream as one body for future expansion of Hadron hall. This paper reports development and construction of the beam dump in Hadron hall. |

| Accelerators, beam lines, and experimental halls located in the J-PARC site were displaced by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake happened on 11th March, whose magnitude was nine, and its following many aftershocks. Site-wide network of measurement points distributed on grounds, buildings, and magnets was surveyed by using GPS survey system, precise digital levels, and laser trackers. The effect from the megaquake was reported for each J-PARC components, such as LINAC, Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), Main Ring (MR), neutrino and hadron beam lines, and experimental halls. | |||
| TUPZ031 | Near Beam-gas Backgrounds for LHCb at 3.5 TeV | proton, simulation, background, vacuum | 1876 |
|
|||
|
Funding: STFC We consider the machine induced backgrounds for LHCb arising from collisions of the beam with residual gas in the long straight sections of the LHC close to the experiment. We concentrate on the background particle fluxes initiated by inelastic beam-gas interactions with a direct line of sight to the experiment, with the potential impact on the experiment increasing for larger beam currents and changing gas pressures. In this paper we calculate the background rates for parameters foreseen with LHC running in 2011, using realistic residual pressure profiles. We also discuss the effect of using a pressure profile formulated in terms of equivalent hydrogen, through weighting of other residual gases by their cross section, upon the radial fluxes from the machine and the detector response. We present the expected rates and the error introduced through this approximation. |

| WEPC028 | Record Low Beta-beat of 10% in the LHC | optics, injection, quadrupole, collider | 2061 |
|
|||
| During the 2011 LHC run several measurements and correction campaigns were conducted. As a result a peak beta-beat of 10% level was achieved. This level, well below the specified tolerances of the LHC, improves the aperture margins and helps minimize the luminosity imbalance between the different experiments. A combination of local corrections at the insertion regions and an overall global correction were used to achieve this record low beta-beat. The sequence of the optics corrections and stability along the 2011 run are reported. | |||
| WEPS078 | Compact FFAG Accelerators for Medium Energy Hadron Applications | proton, extraction, linac, injection | 2688 |
|

Funding: This work was supported by Japan Science and Technology Agency under Strategic Promotion of Innovative Research and Development Program. Medium energy hadron beams are widely applied in accelerator driven subcritical systems (ADSR), high intensity neutron sources and carbon therapy. Compactness feature is important for this energy region, especially in the case of medical use purposes. This paper introduces a novel superferric scheme with scaling fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerators, which can deliver 400MeV/u carbon ions or 1.2GeV protons. By using high permeability materials, 5T magnetic field with high field index can be achieved to reduce accelerator circumference significantly. The lattice configuration and design of superferric magnet are described in details. |

Funding: Work supported by the Director, Office of Science, High Energy Physics, U.S. DOE under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. End Station A Test Beam (ESTB) is a beam line at SLAC using a small fraction of the bunches of the 13.6 GeV electron beam from the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), restoring test beam capabilities in the large End Station A (ESA) experimental hall. ESTB will provide one of a kind test beam essential for developing accelerator instrumentation and accelerator R&D, performing particle and particle astrophysics detector research, linear collider machine and detector interface (MDI) R&D studies, development of radiation-hard detectors, and material damage studies with several distinctive features. In the past, 18 institutions participated in the ESA program at SLAC. In stage I, 4 new kicker magnets will be added to divert 5 Hz of the LCLS beam to ESA. A new beam dump is installed and a new Personnel Protection System (PPS) is built in ESA. In stage II, we plan to install a secondary hadron target, able to produce pions up to about 12 GeV/c at 1 particle/pulse. We report about the ESTB commissioning, status and plan for tests. |

| THPS009 | Coherent Electron Cooling Demonstration Experiment | electron, ion, FEL, wiggler | 3442 |

| Coherent electron cooling (CEC) is considered to be on of potential candidates capable of cooling high-energy, high-intensity hadron beams to very small emittances. It also has a potential to significantly boost luminosity of high-energy hadron-hadron and electron-hadron colliders. In a CEC system, a perturbation of the electron density caused by a hadron is amplified and fed back to the hadrons to reduce the energy spread and the emittance of the beam. Following the funding decision by DoE office of Nuclear Physics, we are designing and building coherent electron cooler for a proof-of-principle experiment at RHIC to cool 40 GeV heavy ion beam. In this paper, we describe the layout of the CeC installed into IP2 interaction region at RHIC. We present the design of the CeC cooler and results of preliminary simulations. | |||

| We present the design of a future high-energy high-luminosity electron-hadron collider at RHIC called eRHIC. We plan adding 20 (30) GeV energy recovery linacs to accelerate and to collide polarized and unpolarized electrons with hadrons in RHIC. The center-of-mass energy of eRHIC will range from 30 to 200 GeV. The luminosity exceeding 1034 cm-2s−1 can be achieved in eRHIC using the low-beta interaction region which a 10 mrad crab crossing. A natural staging scenario of step-by-step increases of the electron beam energy by builiding-up of eRHIC's SRF linacs. We report on the eRHIC design and cost estimates for it stages. We discuss the progress of eRHC R&D projects from the polarized electron source to the coherent electron cooling. | |||
