  When the first ramp was tried on Saturday 15/05/2010 with a single bunch of about nominal intensity (i.e. ~ 1011 p/b), the bunch became unstable in the horizontal plane at ~ 2 TeV. The three main observations were: (i) a “Christmas tree” in the transverse tune measurement application (with many synchrotron sidebands excited), (ii) beam losses (few tens of percents) in IR7, and (iii) an increase of the bunch length. This transverse coherent instability has been stabilized successfully with Landau octupoles. Comparing all the measurements performed during this first year of LHC commissioning with the theoretical and simulation predictions reveals a good agreement.  
 
TUOAB02 Simultaneous Long and Short Bunch Operation in an Electron Storage Ring - a Hybrid Mode based on Nonlinear Momentum Compaction electron, storage-ring, synchrotron, photon 945

  The generation of short pulses in electron storage rings is driven by different user groups like time resolved x-ray spectroscopy users or users of coherent synchrotron radiation. The required optics and operation conditions to generate this short bunches are worsening the experimental conditions, e.g. strongly reducing the average photon flux, for the regular user. Therefore short bunch operation is usually limited to dedicated user shifts. By controlling higher orders of the momentum compaction factor by higher multipoles it is possible to introduce a hybrid mode and simultaneously supplying long and short bunches*. The Metrology Light Source (MLS) has the means to control these higher orders**, therefore it is an ideal machine to investiate the feasibility of such a hybrid mode. Tracking results and first measurements will be shown.

  A novel idea to minimize the odd high order non-linearities in periodic magnets has been presented in other articles in the past. The optimization of this method on the wigglers of the main rings in DAΦNE has been performed by means of multipolar and tracking analysis. After the magnetic measurements on a spare wiggler confirmed the magnetic model used to optimize the DAΦNE wigglers, all the insertion devices in the main rings have been modified accordingly. In fall last year tune variation measurements as a function of closed orbit bumps around the wigglers confirmed the validity of the method. In this paper the beam based measurement results with the new configuration are discussed and compared with those obtained in the previous configurations.

  The non-linear chromaticity of the LHC has been studied. Measurements of variation in tune with dp/p on both beams at injection optics are being compared with Q'' and Q''' as calculated with the LHC effective model. This model uses the best currently available measurements of magnetic field harmonics. An attempt is being made to optimize the b4 and b5 pool-pieces corrections in view of the corresponding chromaticity terms.

The beta-beam concept relies on the production, by beta decay of radioactive ions of a very high flux, of an electron neutrino and anti-neutrino beam towards a distant detector. After production and acceleration in an accelerator complex consisting of a rapid cycling synchrotron, the CERN PS and the CERN SPS, the radioactive isotopes are injected into a long racetrack-shaped ring, called the decay ring, where they orbit until they decay or are lost. The required intensities to store in the decay ring to reach the aimed neutrino fluxes are very high. Among the collective effects, the head tail effect, caused by transversal resonance impedance, is one of the main issues: the beam was shown to be unstable with the previous decay ring lattice. The lattice was changed to handle this problem; e.g. octupoles were included to increase the stability limit with an amplitude detuning. We here report on the improvement on the beta-beam performance with respect to amplitude detuning in the decay ring and discuss other mitigation attempts.

  At the European Spallation Source (ESS), neutrons are produced by high energy (2.5 GeV) protons impinging on a target. The lifetime of the target is highly dependent on the beam footprint. In general, the lower the average current density, the longer the lifetime of the target will be. A detailed study of two different expander systems suggested to be used to obtain the desired beam footprint has been undertaken. For reference, a system of quadrupole defocusing is used. The two systems under study are expansion of the beam by magnetic multipoles and raster scanning (painting) of the narrow linac beam over the target area. The designs, specifications, and comparative risks of the three systems will be described.

  China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) uses the high energy proton beam to strike the Tungsten target to generate neutrons through spallation reaction. The proton beam is extracted from the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS), whose beam power reaches 100 kW. For the sake of target lifetime, beam distribution at the target surface is required as uniform as possible. Nonlinear beam density redistribution method with two octupole magnets has been studied. Also some simulation and theoretical calculation have been done. According to the simulation result, the beam density at the target is optimized and the beam loss is under control.  
 
THPS050 The High Energy Beam Transport System for the European Spallation Source target, linac, collimation, quadrupole 3538

  As part of the accelerator design update for the European Spallation Source (ESS), we present results from a detailed study of the High Energy Beam Transport (HEBT) line. The HEBT is a transport line around 100 m long, which connects the 2.5-GeV linac to the target. The linac will deliver a current of 50 mA, a pulse length of 2 ms and a repetition rate of 20 Hz, and losses are of utmost importance. Presumably, the HEBT will continue the 10 m period focusing structure of the linac. Two bends – overall, achromatic – will be needed to connect the different vertical levels between the linac and the target. A number of design aspects will be discussed here: space for future linac cryostats, the need and location for collimation, the location of the tuning beam dump and the associated beam optics, and the beam expander system, which provide the desired beam footprint on the target (see also separate contribution). A proposed design including options will be described together with hardware specifications.
