MOPEA001 | Status of the Australian Synchrotron Top-Up Operations | injection, synchrotron, linac, diagnostics | 58 |
|
|||
In May 2012 the Australian Synchrotron commenced Top-Up Operations for User beamtime. The facility was designed for top-up from the start with a full energy 3 GeV injection system, however top-up only became a priority once the beamline user community had established itself at the new facility in operation since April 2007. New beam diagnostic and equipment protections systems were implemented as part of the move to top-up, including a new injection efficiency monitoring system. The effect of top-up on the beamline data was also tested with each beamline prior to engaging top-up during user runs. Top-up has now been running successfully for one year and the performance statistics from this period will be presented. Top-up operations is a very popular standard mode for user beam and falling into decay mode is now treated almost as a beam dump. | |||
MOPEA002 | 1.5 GeV Low Energy Mode for the Australian Synchrotron | booster, extraction, synchrotron, injection | 61 |
|
|||
The Australian Synchrotron injection system and storage ring have been retuned to 1.5 GeV for use in special operations and machine development modes. The systems were designed for 3 GeV user operations but for certain research a lower energy of 1.5 GeV is advantageous. A description of how the new low energy mode was achieved is given, including extraction on the fly from the booster synchrotron and scaling of the storage ring lattice. | |||
MOPEA009 | ESRF Operation and Upgrade Status | undulator, emittance, booster, permanent-magnet | 82 |
|
|||
The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) is presently midway through the Upgrade Programme Phase I (2009-2015), which concerns its infrastructure, beamlines and X-ray source. This paper reports on the present operation performance of the source, highlighting the more recent developments. In this context, 8 insertion device straight sections have been lengthened from five to six metres; two of them operating with canted undulators. The lattice of one cell has been modified for a further increase to 7 metres allowing the test of a mini beta optics and latter the distribution of cavities. A second cryogenic permanent magnet undulator has been completed, which gives a factor of more than 2 in flux at high energy. The booster klystron-based radio frequency transmitter has been replaced by high power solid state amplifiers. Out of three prototypes of HOM damped cavities working at room temperature which have been received and tested, one has been successfully commissioned with beam. Subsequent to the upgrade of the beam position monitor system, a new orbit feedback has substantially reduced the orbit distortion induced by ID gap motions. | |||
MOPEA014 | Temporal and Spectral Observation of Laser-induced THz Radiation at DELTA | electron, laser, radiation, simulation | 94 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the DFG, the BMBF, the Federal State NRW, the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Coherent THz pulses caused by a laser-induced density modulation of the electron bunches are routinely produced and observed at DELTA, a 1.5 GeV synchrotron light source operated by the TU Dortmund University. New measurements performed with a fast hot-electron bolometer allow insight into the turn-by-turn evolution of these pulses. Furthermore, first results from a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, which is currently under commissioning, are presented. |

MOPEA015 | A Transverse Electron Target for Heavy Ion Storage Rings | electron, target, ion, interaction-region | 97 |
|
|||
A transverse electron target is a well suited concept under discussion for storage rings to investigate electron-ion interaction processes relevant for heavy ion accelerators. Using a sheet beam of free electrons in crossed beam geometry promises not only a high energy resolution but also allows access to the interaction region for photon and electron spectroscopy under large solid angles. To realize a compact and multi-purpose applicable design, only electrostatic fields are used for beam focussing. The produced electron beam has a length of 10cm in ion beam direction and a width of around 5mm in the interaction region with densities of ~109electrons/cm3. The target geometry allows the independent adjustment of the electron beam current and energy in the region of several 10eV and a few keV. The setup meets the high requirements for an operation in the UHV environment of a storage ring and is installed applying the so-called animated beam technique. The electron target is dedicated to the FAIR storage rings. First measurements have been performed at a test bench. An overview of the project status will be presented including first results of the characterization measurements. | |||
MOPEA019 | Studies of Bunch-bunch Interactions in the ANKA Storage Ring with Coherent Synchrotron Radiation using an Ultra-fast Terahertz Detection System | radiation, synchrotron, wakefield, synchrotron-radiation | 109 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract No. VH-NG-320 and German Federal Ministry of Education and Research under Grant. Noss. 05K10VKC and 05K2010VKD In the low-alpha operation mode of the ANKA synchrotron light source, coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is emitted from short electron bunches. Depending on the bunch current, the radiation shows bursts of high intensity. These bursts of high intensity THz radiation display a time evolution which can be observed only on long time scales with respect to the revolution period. In addition, long range wake fields can introduce a correlation between the bunches within a bunch train and thus modify the observed behavior. A novel detection system consisting of an ultra-fast superconducting THz detector and data acquisition system was used to investigate correlations visible on the bursting pattern and to study the interactions of very short pulses in the ANKA storage ring. |

MOPEA020 | Comparison of Different Approaches to Determine the Bursting Threshold at ANKA | radiation, synchrotron, electron, synchrotron-radiation | 112 |
|
|||
The synchrotron light source ANKA at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology provides a dedicated low-α-optics. In this mode bursting of Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) is observed for bunch charges above a threshold that depends on beam parameters. This threshold can be determined by several approaches, e.g. bunch lengthening or changes in the THz radiation spectra. This paper compares different methods and their implementation at the ANKA storage ring outlining their advantages, disadvantages and limitations, including reliability and possibility of real time analysis. | |||
MOPEA025 | Closed Orbit Correction in the High Field Lattice of ILSF Storage Ring | closed-orbit, lattice, dipole, sextupole | 127 |
|
|||
In the high intensity storage rings, there are many sources of errors which lead to closed orbit distortion (COD). To study effect of errors on closed orbit and to find optimum arrangement of beam position monitors (BPMs) and strength of corrector magnets, different types of expected misalignments and field errors were imposed randomly in the high field lattice of ILSF storage ring. This paper gives the results of closed orbit correction in the ILSF ring and stipulates the strength of correctors. | |||
MOPEA043 | Transverse Instabilities of Two Twisted Beams in a Storage Ring | ion, electron, simulation, kicker | 172 |
|
|||
Two twisted beams (two beams run on the different closed orbit) in a storage ring which is produced by fast kickers can potentially deliver two bunds of radiations through one insertion device or one bend magnet, in this way doubles the beam line stations. This operation mode needs higher beam current and more RF buckets to be filled to keep the brightness comparable to the single beam operation mode. The resistive wall instability and ion trapping effects is analysed to address the higher current operation possibility. The analyze results show that twisted beams can weaken those two instabilities. | |||
MOPEA045 | Performance Optimization and Upgrade of the SSRF Storage Ring | emittance, optics, injection, cavity | 178 |
|
|||
The SSRF storage ring achieved its design performance goal in 2008, in the following years its performance was optimized and improved, including implementing top-up operation and low emittance lattice configuration as well as other attempts like fast orbit feedback and low alpha mode. In order to meet the requirements of accommodating more beamlines and high demanding performance in its phase-II beamline project, the SSRF storage ring is being upgraded with a design based on superbend based lattice and a third harmonic RF cavity system. This paper presents the main optimization works and the upgrade design considerations on the SSRF storage ring performance. | |||
MOPEA046 | Solaris Project Progress | linac, vacuum, injection, klystron | 181 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the European Regional Development Fund within the frame of the Innovative Economy Operational Program:POIG.02.01.00-12-213/09 Solaris is a 3rd generation light source facility being built in Kraków, Poland at the Jagiellonian University Campus. The project is being accomplished in a tight collaboration with the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. The Solaris 1.5 GeV storage ring is a replica of the MAX IV 1.5 GeV machine, whereas the injector and the transfer line although based on the same components, are unique for Solaris. One of the main differences is the 600 MeV injection energy requiring an energy ramp in the storage ring to the final operating energy of 1.5 GeV. The construction of the facility started in early 2010 and is planned to be finished in the autumn 2014. Up to now, 70% of the components have been procured and construction of the buildings in progress with expected handover in autumn 2013. This paper will give an update on infrastructure progress and design choices for shielding, service area placement of racks and routing of piping and cables. An update is also presented of machine layout that includes the injector, transfer line and storage ring. |

MOPEA049 | The First Experience of PLS-II Operation | injection, linac, lattice, insertion | 190 |
|
|||
Funding: Mministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) of Korea One of recent major activities of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) in Korea has been PLS-II user operation. The PLS-II is a Korea’s only and brand new 3rd generation synchrotron radiation source that was upgraded from the 16-year-old PLS in 2011. The old PLS started user service from 1995 and shutdown on Dec. 10, 2010. The PLS-II has been open to users from March 2012 with upgraded performance. The performance parameters of the PLS-II are 5.8 nm-rad emittance, 3.0GeV beam energy, and 400mA beam current with the top-up injection. The unique feature of PLS-II will be the implementation of 20 insertion-devices in a compact double-bend-achromat storage ring of 280m-long circumference. Among 20 insertion-devices, 14 are in-vacuum undulators. The first year operation in 2012 will be successfully completed and the operational statistics will be summarized and discussed. |

MOPEA056 | Measuring and Improving the Momentum Acceptance and Horizontal Acceptance at MAX III | cavity, lattice, electron, vacuum | 205 |
|
|||
Lifetime measurements for varying horizontal scraper positions performed at different RF frequencies suggested a horizontal aperture restriction in the MAX III synchrotron light source. A combination of local orbit distortions and horizontal scraper measurements pinpointed the location of the horizontal aperture restriction to the center of the main cavity straight section. The aperture restriction was determined to be located 10.4 ± 0.3 mm from the beam center. The precise result was achieved by measurements and calculations of the Touschek lifetime as a function of the main cavity voltage. Realignment of the main cavity increased the average lattice momentum acceptance from 0.0116 ± 0.0003 to 0.0158 ± 0.0003 and the horizontal acceptance from 26 ± 2 × 10-6 m to larger than 44 ± 2 × 10-6 m. The increase in momentum acceptance increased the lifetime in MAX III by a factor of two. | |||
MOPEA062 | Metrology of the NESTOR Facility Equipment | target, dipole, quadrupole, survey | 222 |
|
|||
Development of X-ray generator NESTOR in the National Science Center Kharkov Institute of Physics&Technology will let significantly extend the scientific program of investigations that are carried out in NSC KIPT, will allow to increase an amount and improve quality of experimental researches in the field of physics and chemistry In this work tolerances for accuracy installation of the lattice elements of the complex are defined. The methods of lattice element position measurement were detected and ways of their realization were defined. These allow to realize the project parameters of NESTOR facility and, first of all, generated X-ray beam intensity. | |||
MOPEA063 | The First Results of the NESTOR Commissioning | injection, dipole, electron, focusing | 225 |
|
|||
In the paper the first results of the NESTOR facility are presented. 60 MeV electron linac injector has been tested and the first electron beam with project parameters was registered at the screen monitors. Electron beam was passed through the transportation channel and injection system. As a result, the first turn of the storage ring was closed. | |||
MOPEA069 | Tuning of the Injector System to Match Possible Lattice Upgrades at Diamond Light Source | linac, booster, lattice, injection | 243 |
|
|||
Studies of novel lattice upgrades for Diamond Light Source to achieve an increase in the number of insertion devices and/or a lower natural emittance are underway (as reported elsewhere at this conference). Such upgrades if carried out progressively would result in successive reductions in storage ring circumference. To maintain synchronous injection then requires the injector system to operate at various frequencies to match these changes. This paper describes the tests carried out with beam, to prove that the injector system of Linac and full energy Booster can be tuned over an extended frequency range. | |||
MOPEA071 | Operating the Diamond Storage Ring with Reduced Vertical Emittance | feedback, emittance, coupling, target | 249 |
|
|||
In a synchrotron radiation light source, a reduction in vertical emittance can potentially increase the source brightness, reduce the spot size for microfocus beam lines or increase the vertical transverse coherence of the photon beam. With this aim, the target vertical emittance for the Diamond storage ring has been recently reduced from 27pm.rad to 8pm.rad (0.3% coupling). In this paper we discuss the main impacts of this reduction, along with the steps that have been taken to stabilise the coupling at the new value. | |||
MOPEA077 | Accelerator Physics and Light Source Research Program at Duke University | FEL, wiggler, electron, feedback | 264 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported in part by the US DOE grant no. DE-FG02-97ER41033. he accelerator physics and light source research program at Duke Free-Electron Laser Laboratory (DFELL), TUNL, is focused on the development of the storage ring based free-electron lasers (FELs), and a state-of-the-art Compton gamma-ray source, the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS). Driven by the storage ring FEL, the HIGS is world's most intense Compton gamma-ray source with a maximum total flux of few 1010 gamma per second (around 10 MeV). Operated in the energy range from 1 to 100 MeV, the HIGS is a premier nuclear physics research facility in the world. In 2012, we completed a major accelerator upgrade project with a wiggler switchyard system which allows the configuration changes between planar and helical FEL wigglers, and a great enhancement of the FEL gain when operated with 3 or 4 helical wigglers. In this paper, we will describe our ongoing light source development to produce gamma-ray beams in the new energy range of 100 and 158 MeV. We will also provide a summary of our accelerator physics research activities in the area of nonlinear dynamics, beam instability research, and FEL research. |

MOPEA078 | Commissioning and Operation of Wiggler Switchyard System for Duke FEL and HIGS | wiggler, FEL, vacuum, lattice | 267 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported in part by the US DOE grant no. DE-FG02-97ER41033. To enable the Duke storage ring FEL to operate in VUV with adequate gain, a major storage ring upgrade was carried out in 2012 to install two additional helical FEL wigglers with a wiggler switchyard system. Using the switchyard, a quick changeover can be made between two planar OK-4 wigglers and two helical OK-5 wigglers in the middle of the FEL straight section. This system preserves the linear polarization capabilities of the Duke FEL and gamma-ray beams at the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS), while enabling VUV FEL operation with a higher gain using a longer FEL with as many as four helical wigglers. The wiggler switchyard upgrade was completed in Summer 2012, followed by a rapid and successful commissioning of the Duke storage ring, FEL system, and HIGS. In this paper, we will present the results of accelerator and light source commissioning with the wiggler switchyard. We will also present preliminary results of operating the OK-5 FEL in different configurations. With the wiggler switchyard, we are well positioned to realize the operation of a VUV FEL below 190 nm and production of Compton gamma-ray beams above 100 MeV in circular polarization. |

|

We discuss the current status and plans for developing the NSLS-II injector. The latter consists of a 200 MeV linac, a 3-GeV booster, transport lines and the storage ring injection straight section. The system design and installation are complete. Last year we concluded 200-MeV linac commissioning and are planning to commission the 3 GeV booster during summer of 2013. | |||
MOPME014 | Electro-optical Bunch Length Measurements at the ANKA Storage Ring | laser, electron, wakefield, background | 500 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract number VH-NG-320 and by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research under contract number 05K10VKC A setup for near-field electro-optical bunch length measurements has recently been installed into the UHV system of the ANKA storage ring. For electro-optical bunch length measurements during ANKA's low alpha operation, a laser pulse is used to probe the field induced birefringence in an electro-optical crystal (GaP in our case). The setup allows for both electro-optical sampling (EOS, multi-shot) and spectral decoding (EOSD, single- and multi-shot) measurements. This paper presents first results and discusses challenges of this method employed for the first time at a storage ring. |

MOPME015 | Numerical Wakefield Calculations for Electro-optical Measurements | simulation, wakefield, laser, impedance | 503 |
|
|||
Funding: This project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research under the contract number 05K10VKC The technique of electro-optical measurements allows precise and single-shot measurements of the bunch length and shape. The installation of such a near-field setup changes the impedance of the storage ring and the corresponding effects have to be studied carefully. One possibility is to use numerical codes for simulating the wakefields induced by the setup. Such simulations has been done using the wakefield solver implemented in the CST Studio Suite. In this paper we present the simulation results together with first measurements. |

MOPME041 | Design and Calculation of the Stripline Beam Position Monitor for HLS II Storage Ring | quadrupole, coupling, simulation, impedance | 562 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by the National Science Foundation of China (10875117, 11005105, 11175173) According to the requirements of HLS II upgraded, in order to acquire the non-intercepting measurement of beam position and quadrupole component, a new stripline beam position monitor (BPM) was designed for storage ring. The BPM parameters were optimized to acquire impedence matching with characteristic impedance of the external transmission lines and the coupling coefficients between the electrodes were calculated. According to the difference/sum and log-ratio methods, the horizontal and vertical sensitivities, mapping figures and fitting polynomials wered acquired. The results showed that sensitivities using log-ratio method were bigger than those using difference/sum method. The sum signal was also simulated when beam displacement varied from (0 mm, 0 mm) to (5 mm, 5 mm), the result showed that the variation of normalized sum signal was no more than ±6%. The gaussian weighted method of a two-dimensional grid structure was used to simulate the gaussian bunch and simulate the beam transverse quadrupole component changing with position (x, y), the result showed that the beam transverse quadrupole component changed linearly with position combination (x2-y2). |

MOPME042 | A PRELIMINARY SIMULATION OF BPM SIGNAL DIODE DETECTOR FOR HLS II TUNE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM* | simulation, betatron, pick-up, synchrotron | 565 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (11105141, 11175173) and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (WK2310000015) A high sensitivity BPM signal detection front-end electronics has been designed for HLS II tune measurement system according to the HLS II upgrade requirements. Classical tune measurement systems filter out just one or a few of these betatron sidebands frequency. As a consequence, most of the betatron energy is dropped and only a very small energy remains for further processing. A new method, referred to as Direct Diode Detection (3D) by LHC[1], improves the situation. In this paper, the HLS II BPM signals have been calculated out in time domain and frequency domain. Basing on the characteristics of HLS II BPM signal, a preliminary simulation is performed to test and verify the feasibility of diode detector for HLS II tune measurement system. The simulation results clearly show that the technique of diode-based circuit can be applied to HLS II tune measurement. |

MOPME052 | Beam Instrumentation System Optimization for Top-up Operation in SSRF | pick-up, injection, instrumentation, booster | 589 |
|
|||
In order to offer higher average brightness and more stable photon beam, top-up injection mode is scheduled for daily operation in SSRF. Several critical beam parameters, such as fill pattern, average current, beam lifetime and transfer efficiency, need to be measured precisely and reliably, and few interlock logics need to be added into machine protection system with top-up mode. Hardware and software optimizations of beam instrumentation for this purpose will be introduced in this paper. | |||
MOPME053 | Point Spread Function Study of X-ray Pinhole Camera in SSRF | radiation, synchrotron, synchrotron-radiation, emittance | 592 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (11075198) An X-ray Pinhole Camera that has been used to present the transverse beam size with an intuitive grasp of the distribution of the beam radiation was installed on one beam-line of the storage ring in Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). The real beam size however is a function of the image size of the CCD camera and the point spread function (PSF) of the system. The PSF was calculated but poorly tested. This article will present the measurement of the PSF with a series of beam based experiments and the consistency with the theoretical beam size. |

MOPME054 | Bunch-by-bunch Beam Position and Charge Monitor based on Broadband Scope in SSRF | injection, pick-up, synchrotron, synchrotron-radiation | 595 |
|
|||
A bunch-by-bunch beam position and charge monitor system, based on a broadband oscilloscope, has been developed at SSRF. The beam positions of each bunch could be located independently in this system by using the original signals from the button-type pickups on the storage ring. The relative charge of each bunch could be obtained by the sum signal from the pickups. Using sum weighted average method, turn-by-turn beam position could be got from the bunch-by-bunch beam position data. The difference of each bunch beam position have been observed during injection at SSRF. | |||
MOPWA002 | New Purposed High Precision Power Supply For Quadrupole Magnets Of ILSF using Low Resolution Digital PWM | power-supply, quadrupole, controls, feedback | 664 |
|
|||
A total number of 104 quadrupole magnets, split into 9 families, will be required for the ISLF storage ring lattice. Each quadrupole magnet is connected with its own independent power supply. In new design for quadrupole magnets, the outputs of two synchronized push-pull converters (one for coarse regulation and another for fine current regulation) will be added together before a synchronous rectification. In this manner, there will be no need for extra high-current electronic parts. Another advantage of this design is using a high-voltage inductor on the switching side rather than a high current inductor ion the high current side. The PWM signal to control of buck converter (at the input stage of each unit) will be generated inside a dsPIC . | |||

MOPWA045 | The Pulsed Power Supply System for TPS Project | injection, kicker, power-supply, booster | 771 |
|

The pulsed power supply system for TPS project consists of three types of pulser for booster injection/extraction and storage ring injection. Categorizing by the delivered peak current, pulse shape base-width, they are for: 1) booster kicker: 500 A, square, 1 μs; 2) storage ring kicker: 5 kA, half-sine, 5 μs; 3) transfer line septum: 10 kA, half-sine, 300 μs; respectively. All together, there are 10 units constructed for the associated pulsed magnets. In this report, the test results of the pulsed power supplies will be summarized and the measured results of their performance are presented. | |||
MOPWA048 | The Cable Engineering Project for the TPS Power Supply | booster, power-supply, dipole, sextupole | 780 |
|
|||
The civil engineering of Taiwan Photon Source will soon be completed. The engineering of the power supply cabling should be done in advance of the schedule for the completion of the civil engineering. Using software (SolidWorks) to build a 3-D model, we obtain detailed cabling information because the model is made to scale 1 to 1. As all components are built into the model of the TPS accelerator, we can build accurately a model of the power supply cabling. For example, we can estimate every length and the total cable length for purchase and budget control. We can evaluate the conditions for every power cable to lay the cable tray from the power supply to the magnets, so we can lay every cable to follow the sequence in the cable tray. We thereby convert the drawing of the two-dimensional construction graph when we design the finished three-dimensional cabling model. The excellent and precise results are proved in this paper. | |||
MOPWO058 | Injection Simulations for TPS Storage Ring | injection, simulation, kicker, lattice | 1022 |
|
|||
We present injection simulations for the TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) storage ring. The baseline lattice of TPS storage ring is a 6-fold structure with 24 double bend cells. For the Step I commissioning, only baseline lattice with dummy chambers are installed. The three double mini-beta-y lattice with insertion devices will be applied during Step II commissioning. The Tracy-2 program is used to simulate the particle motion in 6-D phase space. We adopt lattice models which include errors of alignments and magnet fields. The particle loss due to scraping by chamber limit is recorded in Tracy-2 simulation. We can estimate the radiation distribution of a ring and provide a reference for the shielding design accordingly. | |||

|

A consolidated fluid-dynamics algorithm for the analysis of beam dynamics under the influence of the electromagnetic field is presented. Aiming at simulating stochastic cooling of particle beams in 2D space, two numerical algorithms solving the 2D Fokker-Planck Equation are described. As an alternative approach, a numerical method based on the macro-particle tracking turn in turn in the ring (i.e. in the time domain) is introduced. Some results of the simulation of the stochastic cooling in the Collector Ring by both methods are discussed. | |||

TUXB101 | Status of the FAIR Facility | ion, antiproton, target, heavy-ion | 1085 |
|
|||
The unique facility for Antiproton and Ion Research – FAIR will deliver stable and rare isotope beams covering a huge range of intensities and beam energies. In addition, the beams for the experiments will have highest beam quality for a cutting edge physics program. Therefore a unique accelerator facility using cutting edge technology will be built until 2018. The challenges are heavy ion synchrotrons for highest intensities, antiproton and rare isotope production stations, high resolution separators and several storage rings where beam cooling can be applied. Here new kind of superconducting magnets, rf-systems, injection and extraction systems and beam diagnostics will be applied. As the construction of the FAIR facility and procurement has started, an overview of the designs, procurements status and infrastructure preparation will be provided. | |||

TUODB102 | Intrabeam Scattering Studies for Low Emittance of BAPS | emittance, wiggler, damping, lattice | 1123 |
|
|||
In modern storage ring light sources, intra-beam scattering (IBS) is often thought of as a fundamental limitation to achieving ultra-low emittance and hence higher brightness. Beijing Advanced Photon Source (BAPS) is under design at Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) which aims to emittance less than 1nm at 5GeV. To improve the coherence and high brightness, low emittance- in both transverse planes at the diffraction limit for the range of x-ray wavelengths(≈10 pm)- is being pursued. Thus, due to the very low emittance, intra-beam scattering effect is an issue. Accurate estimation to check if the design goal can be reached is necessary. In this paper, we use the 6-D accelerator simulation code-elegant and Accelerator Toolbox (AT)-a collection of tools to model storage rings in the MATLAB environment. Based on a temporary design lattice of BAPS, we present the results of particle simulation study of intra-beam scattering effect versus the beam energy, the emittance coupling factor, the bunch length, the bunch current and so on. We also studied the mitigating method by adopting damping wigglers in one or more dispersion-free regions. | |||

TUXB201 | Short-pulse Operation of Storage Ring Light Sources | radiation, electron, photon, optics | 1129 |
|
|||
Short-pulse operation of synchrotron light source storage rings can be useful for both the production of IR and THz-band radiation and high repetition rate pump-probe science in the X-ray regime. Different approaches to short-pulse generation include low-alpha optics configurations, two-frequency RF potential manipulation, laser-induced femtoslicing, longitudinal crab-cavity deflection and pseudo-bunch operation with a fast kicker to isolate a single bunch. This talk should review each of these techniques and discuss implications for machine operation in terms of pulse length, beam intensity, beam stability, pulse repetition rate, output radiation beam quality and potential applications. | |||

TUOAB201 | Ultra-Short X-ray Pulse Generation by Electron Beam Slicing in Storage Rings | electron, linac, emittance, photon | 1134 |
|
|||
Funding: Department of Energy, USA We propose a new method to generate ultra-short x-ray pulses using focused short low energy (5-10MeV) electron bunch to slice a short electron bunch from the electron bunches in a synchrotron radiation storage ring. When the low energy electron bunch crosses from top the high energy electron bunch at right angle, its coulomb force will kick a short slice of high energy electrons away from the core of the storage ring electron bunch. When the low energy electron bunch (about 50 pC) is focused to about 50 micron size and compressed to about 150fs bunch length and is positioned on top of the high energy electron bunch by a distance about 30 micron, the coulomb force is sufficient to give a kick vertically to the electrons within a short slice of the storage ring bunch about 200 fs long with a deflection about 4 micro-radian. This is sufficient to deflect the slice away from the core by a separation of 5 times the angular divergence of the beam. The separated slice when passing through an undulator, will radiate ulstra-short x-ray pulses at about 200 fs. We discuss the advantages and challenges of this new method. We provide data to demonstrate the feasibility of this method. |

TUOAB202 | ILSF, A Third Generation Light Source Laboratory in Iran | synchrotron, dipole, quadrupole, cavity | 1137 |
|
|||
The Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) project is a first large scale accelerator facility which is currently under planning in Iran. The circumference of the storage ring is 297.6 m with the energy of 3 GeV. The facility will be built on a land of 100 hectares area in the city of Qazvin, located 150 km West of Tehran. The city is surrounded by many universities, research centers and industrial companies. The design and construction of prototype items such as radio frequency solid state amplifier, dipole magnets, highly stable magnet power supplies and girders have already begun. A low field H-type dipole magnet with the central field of 0.5T at the gap of 34mm and length of 500mm was built and tested in site. Also a prototype storage ring quadrupole with a 18 T/m gradient and 233 iron length is in now in fabrication process. Site selection studies, including geotechnical and seismological measurements are being performed. Conceptual Design Report, CDR, as the first milestone of the project has been published on October 2012. | |||

TUOAB203 | ESRF Upgrade Phase II | lattice, emittance, vacuum, brilliance | 1140 |
|
|||
Four years after the launch of the Upgrade Programme, the ESRF is midway through its first phase (2009-2015) and has defined the objectives for the ensuing second phase. The first phase paved the way to a new generation of nano-beam X-ray beamlines fed by an X-ray source itself substantially improved in terms of reliability, stability and brilliance. The second phase envisions a major upgrade of the source to best serve the science case of this new generation of beamlines. In December 2012, the ESRF Council endorsed Management's proposal to launch the technical design study of a new 7-bend achromat lattice. This new configuration will allow the ESRF storage ring to operate with a decrease in horizontal emittance by a factor of about 30 and a consequent increase in brilliance and coherence of the photon beam. The increase will be substantially higher at X-ray energies larger than 50 keV. | |||

TUODB203 | Dual Chip in Single Module Solid-State Power Amplifier Design for Compact Transmitter Architecture | insertion, impedance, booster, linac | 1158 |
|
|||
At present, the high power solid-state technique transmitter design are composed of hundreds parallel combined single chip for hundreds Watts power modules to achieve enough output power. Although the large numbers can bring high redundancy during system operation, the power hungry of next generation RF system of accelerator would need much more modules to reach its power requirement. Huge amount of power modules would bring the complexity and difficulty in power combining, system construction, management and maintenance. To overcome this problem, upgrading the power level of a single module could be the solution. Besides depending on the power level growing with technology advancement in semiconductor industry, a circuit level solution to combine dual chip in advance in a single PCB board is proposed to produce twice power as single chip. Such feasible solution can overcome the over-complexity of future several-hundreds kW solid-state transmitter design. | |||

Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation (EEHG) has been proposed and experimently demonstrated recently. In this paper, we numerically investigate the possibility of operating EEHG based on Hefei storage ring, which has a short circumference and a small momentum compaction factor. The difference to other similar reserch is that we use the whole ring as the first dispersive section and an optical klystron as the second one. | |||

|

Due to the discovery of large θ13 the final muon storage energy in the baseline solution of International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF) has been set at 10 GeV. A new racetrack design has been produced for the decay ring to meet this requirement. The details of lattice design and the beam dynamics calculations are discussed. The feasibility of the injection system for both positive and negative muons into the ring is explored in details. | |||
TUPFI055 | Stochastic Injection Scenarios and Performance for NuSTORM | injection, target, proton, simulation | 1469 |
|
|||
At Fermilab, we are developing NuSTORM (Neutrinos from STORed Muons), a neutrino beam from muon decay in a long straight section of a storage ring. The baseline design for NuSTORM uses what was called “stochastic injection”. In that method, high-energy protons on a nuclear target produce pions that are directed by a chicane into a straight section of the storage ring. Pions that decay within that straight section can provide lower-energy muons that are within the circulating acceptance of the storage ring. This decay acceptance enables injection for multiple storage ring turns without kickers, and muon accumulation can be reasonably high. The design of a muon storage ring with pion injection is described and simulations of acceptance are discussed. Alternative injection approaches are also discussed. | |||
TUPFI061 | Preliminary Design of a Higgs Factory μ+μ- Storage Ring | quadrupole, dipole, collider, factory | 1487 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy, and by the US Department of Energy through the Muon Accelerator Program (MAP). A Muon Collider offers unique possibilities for studying the recently found Higgs boson. Higgs bosons can be produced in reasonable amounts in the s-channel, so that the colliding muon beam energy of just 62.5GeV is required. Precision direct measurements of the Higgs boson mass and width is possible due to absence of brems- and beam-strahlung. At the same time, there are difficulties specific to muon colliders: relatively large beam emittance which necessitates quite small beta-function values (~ a few cm) at the interaction point in order to obtain sufficiently high luminosity, as well as superconducting magnet and detector protection from showers generated by muon decay products. Due to these factors, the required aperture of the final focus quadrupoles is very large (up to 0.5 m) posing challenging engineering constraints as well as beam dynamics issues with fringe fields. The first results of a complex approach to these problems in the Higgs Factory collider design are presented which promise luminosities in excess of 1031 cm-2s−1 with a 4 MW proton driver. |

TUPME005 | Preparations for Beam Tests of a CLIC Damping Wiggler Prototype at ANKA | wiggler, damping, emittance, target | 1568 |
|
|||
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) will require ultra-low emittance electron and positron beams. The targeted emittance will be achieved by radiative damping in the CLIC damping rings. For an efficient damping high-field short-period superconducting damping wigglers will be employed. In the conceptual design phase of CLIC, the basic layout of these wigglers has been elaborated at CERN. In the course of the CLIC technical feasibility studies a full-scale damping wiggler prototype will be installed and tested in the ANKA storage ring. The device is currently under design and construction at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Russia. Above the magnetic requirements, the main design challenges for the prototype are scalability –- particularly of the cooling concept –-, modularity and the capability of sustaining a high radiative heat load. The experiments at ANKA aim at a validation of the technical concepts applied to meet these requirements. Beyond that an extended experimental program on beam dynamics and alternative technical solutions is envisaged. This contribution gives an overview over the current status of the project and the further planning. | |||
TUPME025 | Calculation of the Equilibrium Parameters for the Compact Ring of TTX | emittance, photon, scattering, electron | 1625 |

Intra-Beam Scattering (IBS) can cause emittance growth in high intensity low energy beams. We study its effect on the compact low energy electron storage ring, proposed for Tsinghua Thomson Scattering X-ray source (TTX). For a single bunch with peak current at about 17A and re-entrant type normal conducting RF cavity with peak voltage at 15kV, the equilibrium horizontal and vertical emittances are 2.9 and 0.3 μm, and the rms momentum spread and bunch length are about 0.2%, and 23ps. In this paper, we report the methods and results of the IBS calculation. | |||
TUPME053 | General Beam Loading Compensation in a Traveling Wave Structure | beam-loading, bunching, linac, electron | 1688 |
|
|||
The well-known beam loading in a traveling wave structure is in fact a resistive beam loading which bunches travel on the crest. This type of beam loading could be compensated by increasing RF feed power. But generally, bunches could travel on each phase. General beam loading compensation is well-known for a single cell cavity and it is done by changing the RF feed power and detuning the structure together. In this paper, the concept of detuning for a TW structure will be shown and the evolution of fundamental mode beam-induced field will be derived and finally, it will be shown how to compensate beam loading by changing the phase velocity in comparison to the beam velocity. | |||
TUPWA003 | Beam Based Magnet Alignment for Emittance Coupling Minimization | sextupole, quadrupole, emittance, coupling | 1724 |
|

Magnet misalignments give rise to field terms which can cause coupling between the horizontal and vertical beam motion and therefore emittance coupling. A series of beam based measurements have been developed at the Australian Synchrotron to accurately quantify quadrupole and sextupole alignments errors which cause coupling and where possible, correct them. Results showing an reduction in emittance coupling due to realignments of magnets based on these measurements will be presented. Limitations and general applicability of this method will also be discussed. | |||

The MAX IV storage rings will use third harmonic cavities operated passively to lengthen the bunches and alleviate collective instabilities. These cavities are an essential ingredient in the MAX IV design concept and are required for achieving the final design goals in terms of stored current, beam emittance and beam lifetime. This paper reports on fully self-consistent calculations of the longitudinal bunch density distribution in the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring, which indicate that up to a factor 5 increase in RMS bunch length is achievable with a purely passive system. | |||

|
|||
The two long straight sections of the SSRF storage ring will be installed by dual canted in-vacuum insertion devices in the near future. In order to get high brightness and maintain good machine performance, the vertical beta function must be reduced by a triplet of quadrupole between the two source points, which is the so-called double-mini-beta optics. We have designed this kind of optics for SSRF, and the results are presented in this paper. | |||
TUPWO040 | Asymmetric Energy Colliding Ion Beams in the EDM Storage Ring | ion, proton, dipole, controls | 1961 |

A possibility to bent equally two counter rotating ion beams by the crossed electric and magnetic fields is investigated. The first beam is polarized and its spin precession is adjusted to be synchronous with the velocity vector precession (a frozen spin method). The counter rotating unpolarized ion beam travels along the same orbit but with different velocity. Sensitive SQUID-type BPMs measure the vertical orbit difference of two beams. Later on this information is used to distinguish the EDM signal from the magnetic moment precession. Application of this approach to search of the EDM for proton, deuteron and helion is discussed. | |||

The ALBA lattice is a DBA-like structure where most of vertical focusing is provided by gradient dipoles. In the first year of machine operation, the model parameters describing the focusing strength of the 32 dipoles have been calibrated by fitting the measured closed orbit response matrix. The mean k-value obtained from this analysis differs by -0.3% with respect to the value taken from the magnetic measurements previous to the magnet installation, while the k variation within the 32 dipoles is of the same order of magnitude. The optics results (tunes, beta beating, dispersion) obtained with the beam based model are compared with the predicted ones from the magnetic measurement model. | |||

Funding: The Introduction of Outstanding Technological Talents Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2010. In this paper, we present a preliminary study on using a Robinson wiggler, a wiggler with transverse gradient, to reduce the horizontal beam emittance of the Hefei Light Source II (HLS-II) storage ring. A proof-of-principle study demonstrates that it is possible to further reduce the horizontal beam emittance by 50\% using a 2-meter long Robinson wiggler installed on a dispersive straight section. This encouraging result suggests a feasible option to significantly improve the HLS-II performance at a relative low cost and without significant modification to its global configuration in the near future. |

WEOBB202 | Ultra-fast Data Acquisition System for Coherent Synchrotron Radiation Based on Superconducting Terahertz Detectors | synchrotron, radiation, electron, controls | 2094 |
|
|||
The ANKA synchrotron radiation source located at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany operates in the energy range between 0.5-2.5GeV and provides coherent synchrotron radiation. To resolve the ultra-short terahertz pulses emitted by a single bunch, thin YBCO superconducting film detectors have been developed. A response time of 45ps was determined as the FWHM at the output of the analog amplifier. A novel and high accuracy data acquisition architecture for sampling of the individual ultra-short terahertz pulses combined with real-time data processing based on GPUs for coherent synchrotron radiation is presented. The digitizer board is a made-in-house board designed for sampling of the fast pulse signals with pulse width between few tens of picosecond until 100ps. For each terahertz pulse five samples are acquired with a minimum sampling time of 3ps. A prototype setup with terahertz YBCO detectors, digitizer boards and the high-throughput FPGA framework has been successfully developed and tested at ANKA. The overview of the experimental setup including the YBCO detector technology and the preliminary results with single and multi-bunch filling pattern will be discussed. | |||

Funding: * Supported by MEST and POSTECH POSCO is a world-leading iron and steel company established in 1968 in Pohang, in the South East coast of Korea. Starting with 1.0 million ton size in 1973, the company made profits even in the first year. While its capacity has been increased to 40 million tons with another works in Gwangyang, POSCO paid attention on education to attract intellectuals to Pohang and Korea. It results in establishing a small-sized university, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in 1987. POSTECH immediately decided to construct a third generation synchrotron light source of 2.0 GeV, Pohang Light Source (PLS) on its campus in 1988, with support from POSCO and also Government. POSTECH achieved a high rank in the world, and PLS is upgraded to 3.0 GeV in 2011. A new PAL-XFEL of 10.0 GeV is now under construction. POSCO's consistent policy is the key of the success of POSTECH and Pohang Light Source. This is an unprecedented example of the relationship between industry and science. |

In this paper we present the physical design of the pulsed sextupole injection system for Beijing Advanced Photon Source (BAPS) with an ultralow emittance. The BAPS ring lattice is designed in such a way that two injection options are allowed, i.e., with septum and pulsed sextupole in different drift spaces or in the same drift space. For both options optimal conditions are obtained for high injection efficiency. It is found that the available efficiency in a storage ring with limited acceptance can be affected by position-dependent dispersive effect induced by the pulsed sextupoles. | |||

The potential hazards introduced by injecting into the ALBA storage ring with front end shutters open are determined through particle tracking simulations. The method is based on the possible overlap between phase space of forwards and backwards tracking between the straight section downstream the front end and the beamline.

Scenarios that could bring an injected beam of electrons passing through an open beamline front end are identified. The interlocks required to prevent such situations from arising are stated. | |||

|

An “ultimate” storage ring based on PEP tunnel has been designed to achieve diffraction limited emittance (at 1.5 Angstrom)[*]. With sufficient peak current, the beam brightness of such an “ultimate” storage ring may be sufficient to drive a short-wavelength, high-gain FEL. However, the large energy spread intrinsic to storage rings hinders the FEL applications for x-ray wavelengths. To overcome this problem, we adopt the transverse-gradient undulator concept[**][***] to study a high-gain FEL in an ultimate storage ring. Using PEP-X as an example, we showed from simulations that a high-gain FEL at the photon energy 1keV with a peak power of a few hundred megawatts can be achieved within a saturation length of 100 meters.

In the new methods, the decision variables related to chromatic sextupole pairs are optimized using artificial intelligence algorithms to enlarge the dynamic aperture. We demonstrate that the new methods are equivalent to the recently used numerical method, in which the decision variables, sextupole strengths, are optimized using artificial intelligence algorithms.

Four 352.2 MHz - 150 kW Solid State Amplifiers (SSA), based on the SOLEIL design and supplied by ELTA/AREVA, are in operation on the ESRF booster since April 2012. A number of interesting effects were observed during commissioning that are inherent to the combination of many RF amplifier modules at high power. While it has only little impact on the booster SSA operated in pulsed regime, some modifications were necessary for the three SSAs that will be delivered by ELTA for an operation in CW on the storage ring. In parallel, the ESRF is developing a more compact SSA using cavity combiners *) instead of the widely adopted coaxial combiner trees. The status of this R&D project will also be reported. |

WEPFI060 | Planar Balun Design with Advanced Heat Dissipation Structure for kW Level Solid-state Amplifier Module Development | coupling, controls, impedance, klystron | 2830 |
|
|||
The power level of solid-state amplifier is continuously growing for advanced accelerator application as the RF power source. Huge amount of solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) modules can contribute several hundreds of kW RF power with high redundancy and reliability. However, with the increasing desire of RF power of single RF station, too much power modules would adversely cause larger area occupation and higher maintenance cost and complexity. Therefore, with the advancement of the RF power on single SSPA, the overall system design and configuration would become much simple and compact. However, the increasing RF of single SSPA would also bring the thermal problem at its chip as well as the output power combining balun. In this paper, kW range SSPA is developed with the novel planar balun structure with good thermal expansion property. With such new planar balun design, the SSPA can operate stably with above 1kW output RF power. | |||
WEPFI061 | Petra Cavity Vacuum RF Condition with Field Balance Mechanism for TPS Storage Ring in NSRRC | cavity, coupling, vacuum, controls | 2833 |
|
|||
In the first stage commissioning of TPS (Taiwan Photon source) storage ring in NSRRC, two room temperature Petra cavities will be used. At this commission stage, 100mA with 950keV beam loss is estimated to have 47.5kW beam loss for each cavity. In the meanwhile, the cavity loss at the specified 1.2MV of each cavity will be about 50kW. Therefore, coupling coefficient of 2 is required. However, the initial design specification of Petra cavity has only beta of about 1.7. Hence, the modification of the input coupler is done with the enhancement of its beta as well as advanced water cooling for some heat point. Besides, due to the two-tuner system of Petra cavity, special field-balance tuner control system is also developed. In RF condition for better vacuum up to 1.4MV, some modification of the tuner mechanical structure is also done to reach high vacuum condition (lower than 5*10-9 Torr) for storage ring requirement. | |||
WEPME037 | Fast Orbit Feedback at Taiwan Photon Source | brilliance, controls, feedback, EPICS | 3007 |
|
|||
Low latency, distributed, Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB) application, based on singular value decomposition, entirely implemented in FPGA, has been developed for the Taiwan Photos Source (TPS). The FOFB utilizes the latest Libera Brilliance+ units for measuring beam position and the Gigabit Data eXchange (GDX) modules, which take care of global orbit distribution via 6.5 Gbit/s fiber optic or passive Cu links, and provide a large orbit data history buffer. The magnet correction in a matrix form of M = V . PI( S-1 . UT . ( Golden-Orbit ) ) is calculated entirely in FPGA, using a massively parallel approach and sent to the magnet power supplies via 2.5 Gbit/s link. The entire FOFB calculation is distributed over 48 GDX modules and the system allows for synchronous (on/off/pause) FOFB control via external input signal. The latencies of 60 ns per BPM for orbit distribution, 1.5 us for FOFB calculation and 1.5 us for magnet data transmission have been measured at TPS test installation in November 2012. The expected total communication and FOFB calculation latency in the TPS final configuration (168 BPMs) is expected to stay within 15-20 us range. | |||
WEPME048 | Adjusting and Calibration Method for TPS Laser PSD System | laser, alignment, factory, synchrotron | 3037 |
|
|||
Laser PSD positioning system is a part of the TPS girder auto-alignment system and is designed for aligning and positioning the straight-section girders of TPS storage ring. Although the components of Laser PSD system are fabricated, assembling and adjusting precisely in advance, the accuracy of Laser PSD system is still influenced by girder fabricating quality, assembling errors and moving errors by transportation. For system correction, Laser beam positions on four sets of PSDs are formulized as an equation and calibrated with Laser tracker ultimately. According to the PSD calibration formula, the two girders of 18m long straight-section can be aligned and positioned within 20um by comparing with Laser tracker. This paper describes the assembly, installation and calibration process of Laser PSD system. | |||
WEPME050 | Alignment Design and Status of Taiwan Photon Source | survey, alignment, laser, site | 3043 |
|
|||
Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a new 3-GeV ring with characteristics of great brightness and small emittance, at present under construction at National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) Taiwan. The positioning of the magnets is highly sensitive to alignment errors, and the entire building will be constructed half underground at depth 12 m relative to Taiwan Light Source (TLS) for stability reasons; for these reasons the survey and alignment work is confined and difficult. To position magnets precisely and quickly, a highly accurate auto-tuning girder system combined with a survey network was designed to accomplish the alignment tasks. The survey network includes a preliminary Global Positioning System (GPS) network and a laser tracking network. The position data from the survey network define a basis for the system of motorized girders to auto-tune and to improve the accuracy. The detailed survey and alignment design, installation process is described in this paper. | |||
WEPME054 | Girder Alignment in the Diamond Storage Ring | survey, alignment, controls, quadrupole | 3052 |
|
|||
A model of the Diamond Storage Ring describing the misalignment of its 74 girders in terms of displacements and rotations is used to predict the orbit distortions and corrector magnet strengths needed for a zero orbit. Using the data from a survey we compare the effect of a pure magnet misalignment with the natural orbit of the machine. A test with a displaced girder meant to produce a reduction in corrector strength is introduced. Comparison with data obtained from the actual move of the girder is presented and discussed. | |||
WEPME056 | Application of Z-transform to Noise Response Modeling of a Bunch-by-bunch Feedback System | feedback, lattice, pick-up, monitoring | 3058 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, under Contract No. DE-ACO2-O6CH11357. The APS storage ring has an electron beam energy of 7 GeV and a single current of up to 16 mA. Transverse beam instability is corrected by a combination of chromatic correction and bunch-by-bunch feedback system. Noises produced in the pickup circuits is processed and transferred to the beam the same as a beam signal, which contributes to beam motion when the loops are closed. By analyzing the input data stream of the feedback system, one can passively obtain useful information, such as the tunes, loop stability, noise spectrum, etc. This approach has been reported by J. Klute and D. Teytelman. We implemented a passive and continuous tune monitoring process at the APS storage ring. In order to understand the underlying principle, we applied z-transform analysis to the noise-response model of a bunch-by-bunch feedback system. Our analysis shows a clear relationship between the spectrum of the noise response and the open-loop response of the beam. The noise-response model can also be applied to other areas, such as stability and noise analysis of a bunch-by-bunch feedback system. This report presents our analysis and some experimental data. |

|
|||
A method of implementing controls of chopper for HIRFL-CSR (Heavy Ion Research Facility of Lanzhou and Cooler Storage Rings) is introduced. This method is based on an ARM and DSP co-operation system. The control algorithm of this method is based on a data structure which is defined and implemented in the DSP module. Output data is created by the control algorithm and the actually pulse output is triggered by a timer which is achieved through a logic circuit actualized in a FPGA chip. The results show that the method is flexible and the control system matches the chopper regulating requirements. | |||

THPEA057 | Compensation Schemes for Operation of FEL Wigglers on Duke Storage Ring | wiggler, FEL, lattice, quadrupole | 3270 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported in part by the US DOE grant no. DE-FG02-97ER41033. The Duke FEL is the photon driver for the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS). To extend the capabilities of the FEL and HIGS to higher photon energy regions, a FEL wiggler switchyard system was developed in the recent years. This system was installed and commissioned in 2012. The FEL wiggler switchyard is used to change between two planar OK-4 wigglers and two helical OK-5 wigglers in the middle of the FEL straight section in a short period of time (a few days). With a total of six electromagnetic wigglers, the Duke FEL can be operated in a number of wiggler configurations and with a wide range of magnetic fields. The operation of uncompensated FEL wigglers can cause significant changes to the electron beam closed orbit and magnetic lattice. To maintain a sufficiently large dynamic aperture for an efficient injection and good beam lifetime, a set of complex compensation schemes, including magnetic field and lattice compensation, have been developed for the operation of the FEL wigglers. This paper reports the overall architecture and performance of the FEL wiggler compensation schemes and their implementation in the accelerator controls system using the feedforward mechanism. |

The vacuum systems for the 3 GeV Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) have been constructed since 2010. Most of the vacuum components and equipments have been manufactured and delivered. For the electron storage ring (SR), all the 24 cells of 14 m aluminum vacuum systems have been welded and assembled. The vacuum baking for the cells in the laboratory was undergoing to achieve the ultrahigh vacuum pressure below 1×10-8 Pa. The vacuum systems accommodated with the insertion devices in the long straight sections have been designed and under manufacturing. For the booster (BR), all the stainless steel chambers including the 0.7 mm elliptical chambers, BPM ducts, and the pumping chambers, have been manufactured. The two transport lines: LTB for Linac to BR and BTS for BR to SR were manufactured. Vacuum chambers for BTS adopt the similar chambers for BR but will be baked to ultrahigh vacuum for connecting with SR without injection window. The beam ducts for LTB will be made of aluminum alloys. The construction works for TPS vacuum systems will be completed before April of 2013 while the installation of the systems in the TPS tunnel will be started immediately. | |||
THPFI078 | Design and Experiment on Auto-alignment Control System of Taiwan Photon Source | alignment, laser, controls, feedback | 3475 |
|
|||
TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) is a new 3-GeV synchrotron ring to be constructed at the NSRRC (National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center), Taiwan. There were hundreds of magnets that must be aligned on the absolute position to keep the electronic beam in the desire path while orbiting. Due to the problems of manpower, set up time, accuracy of adjustment, deformation of the floor, limited workspace and frequent earthquakes in Taiwan, an auto-alignment girder control system was designed to meet this requirement. The design and experiment of the auto-alignment system were tested successfully in the laboratory at NSRRC. The experiment of the auto-alignment control system would be implemented with half of the ring girders in the TPS. The detailed alignment design and status will be discussed in this paper. | |||

The Beijing Advanced Photon Source (BAPS) is a high performance light source planned to be constructed in China. High precision small aperture quadrupole magnets are required in the BAPS storage ring, which needs extremely high mechanical accuracy. Instead of the conventional manufacture method, the coils are comprised of several U-shaped solid copper sheets. So two-piece structure of the iron core can be adopted to reduce assembly error and improve the poles symmetry. Design considerations, 2D and 3D magnetic field calculations are presented in detail, and the needed mechanical precision is estimated according to the error field analysis. | |||
