  The beam alignment requirements for the next generation of lepton colliders have become increasingly challenging. As an example, the alignment requirements for the three major collider components of the CLIC linear collider are as follows. Before the first beam circulates, the Beam Position Monitors (BPM), Accelerating Structures (AS)and quadrupoles will have to be aligned up to 10 μm w.r.t. a straight line over 200 m long segments, along the 20 km of linacs. PACMAN is a study on Particle Accelerator Components' Metrology and Alignment to the Nanometre scale. It is an Innovative Doctoral Program, funded by the EU and hosted by CERN, providing high quality training to 10 Early Stage Researchers working towards a PhD thesis. The technical aim of the project is to improve the alignment accuracy of the CLIC components by developing new methods and tools addressing several steps of alignment simultaneously, to gain time and accuracy. The tools and methods developed will be validated on a test bench. This paper presents the technical systems to be integrated in the test bench, the results of the compatibility tests performed between these systems, as well as the final design of the PACMAN validation bench.

  Geometric asymmetries in cavity BPMs result in a coupling between horizontal and vertical signals, which complicates their usage and may affect both the dynamic range and spatial resolution of the system in both directions. Tolerances to several types of geometric asymmetries have been analysed using a 3D electromagnetic field solver (GdfidL). We report on some of the results and discussed the possible impact of the considered geometrical distortions.

We present a new instrument designed to detect RF pulse shortening caused by vacuum RF breakdown in mm-wave particle accelerators. RF breakdown limits the performance of high gradient RF accelerators. To understand the properties of these breakdowns, it is necessary to have diagnostics that reliably detect RF breakdowns. In X-band or S-band accelerators, RF breakdowns are detected by measuring RF pulse shortening, vacuum burst, or, if current monitors are available, spikes in the field-emitted currents. In mm-wave accelerators, all of these methods are difficult to use. In our experiments, we could not measure RF pulse shortening directly with a crystal detector because the RF pulse is very short'just a few nanoseconds'and changes in the measured signal were masked by RF amplitude jitter. To overcome this limitation, we built a single-shot spectrometer with a frequency range of 117-125 GHz and a resolution of 0.1 GHz. The spectrometer should be able to measure the widening of the spectrum caused by the shortening of nanosecond-long pulses. We present design considerations, first experimental results obtained at FACET, and planned future improvements for the spectrometer.

  We present results on the commissioning of the two-module RadiaBeam / SLAC dechirper system at LCLS. This is the first installation and measurement of a corrugated dechirper at high energy (4.4 - 13.3 GeV), short pulses (< 200 fs) and while observing its effect on an operational FEL. Both the transverse and longitudinal wakefields allow more flexible electron beam tailoring. We verify that, for a single module at a given gap, the strength of the longitudinal wake on axis and the dipole near the axis agree well with the theoretical values. Using direct longitudinal phase space mapping and X-ray FEL spectrum measurements we demonstrate the energy chirp control capabilities.

  One of the features for newly designed magnets for the SPring-8 major upgrade plan* is permanent magnet based dipole magnets for substantial energy saving. The new dipole magnets have been designed to be equipped with (i) a field variable function by controlling magnetic flux into a beam axis, (ii) a nose structure on iron poles for smooth B-field transition in the longitudinal gradient field, and (iii) a nearly zero temperature coefficient of magnet circuit with the help of a shunt alloy**. Demagnetization due to radiation is also a critical issue. At SPring-8, demagnetization process has been intensively studied, and the effect has been considered in the design of dipole magnets. Although electromagnet based multi-pole magnets are rather conventional technologies, yet new magnets need to be designed to fit in the next generation high packing factor lattice with as reasonably lower energy consumption as possible. Magnet alignment will be a key development as well; in order to secure adequate dynamic apertures, magnets ought to be aligned within tens of microns. Current design and recent progress in the developments of magnets and alignment schemes will be presented.

  Beam-based alignment (BBA) techniques are important tools for beam orbit steering in linear accelerators or transfer lines. In this paper this technique and the control system application programs developed based on XAL platform were applied to the beam commissioning for Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) of CSNS to get the transverse misalignments of beam position monitor (BPM) and quad. The results shows that the absolute values of BPMs offsets are less than 0.6 mm and quads offsets are less than 0.05 mm,that is much smaller than the tolerance of the misalignment.

  Vibrating wire method and device are described to locate the magnetic center of a Quadrupole theoretically and experimentally. With rotating 180 degrees method, it is convenience to measure the position magnetic center from mechanical center. Tilt angle can also be measured because tilt of magnetic axis will cause the difference of measured magnetic center in different harmonic driving current frequency. Errors analysis shows that tilt of Quadrupole will cause the main error and improved device is described to adjust and measure the tilt angle to fix the errors caused by tilt.

In this work we present the results of the measurement campaign of the main bending magnets of the SESAME storage ring, that were fully characterized at ALBA-CELLS magnetic measurements facility. A total of 17 combined function dipoles ' 16 series magnets plus a pre-series one ' has been tested and characterized. This campaign has been performed using a dedicated Hall probe bench. The main measurements include the transfer function at the center of the magnet and field maps of the three components of the field in a plane around the nominal trajectory of the electron beam, at two different operating currents. In this paper we describe the experimental setup and procedures, before reporting the main results, including statistics of magnet-to-magnet reproducibility and integrated field quality. Finally, we show how the measured data can be exploited for an optimal 3D alignment of the dipoles in the machine.

  MedAustron has completed its proton commissioning activities for clinical treatment in the horizontal Irradiation Room 3 (IR3). Work involved the preparation of 255 energies in clinical range (60 - 250 MeV) for one spill length, one spot size and 4 intensity levels. After resonant slow extraction, the beam crosses four different functional areas in the High Energy Beam Transfer Line (HEBT): the dispersion suppressor (DS), the phase shifter stepper (PSS), two straight extension modules and a deflection module to IR3. Quadrupole-variation methods were applied to center the beam in the beamline. The DS section was commissioned to provide high intensity beams with closed dispersion. The PSS section was commissioned to provide symmetric and minimal spot sizes at the iso-center in the room (after scattering in the nozzle and air). The definition of the 255 clinical energies was given by the Medical Physics team after measuring the beam ranges at the iso-center.

  A good knowledge of the available aperture in the LHC is essential for a safe operation due to the risk of magnet quenches or even damage in case of uncontrolled beam losses. Experimental validations of the available aperture are therefore crucial and were in the past carried out by either a collimator scan combined with beam excitations or through the use of local orbit bumps. In this paper, we show a first comparison of these methods in the same machine configuration, as well as a new very fast method based on a beam-based collimator alignment and a new faster variant of the collimator scan method. The methods are applied to the LHC operational configuration for 2015 at injection and with squeezed beams and the measured apertures are presented.

In a partnership with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) and Jefferson Lab, Fermilab will assemble and test 17 of the 35 total 1.3 GHz cryomodules for the Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) Project. These include a prototype built and delivered by each Lab. Another two 3.9 GHz cryomodules will be built, tested and transported by Fermilab to SLAC. Each assembly will be transported over-the-road from Fermilab or Jefferson Lab using specific routes to SLAC. The transport system consists of a base frame, isolation fixture and upper protective truss. The strongback cryomodule lifting fixture is described along with other supporting equipment used for both over-the-road transport and local (on-site) transport at Fermilab. Initially, analysis of fragile components and stability studies will be performed in order to assess the risk associated with over-the-road transport of a fully assembled cryomodule.

  The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is an x-ray free electron laser facility. The proposed upgrade of the LCLS facility is based on construction of a 4 GeV superconducting (SC) linear accelerator (linac). An optimal reliable performance of the linac is largely determined by beam sensitivity to various component alignment errors. In this paper we evaluate misalignment tolerances of LCLSII SC linac using a more realistic alignment model that includes correlated misalignment of elements.

  The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) aims to provide an accelerator-based, D-Li neutron source to produce high energy neutrons at sufficient intensity and irradiation volume for DEMO materials qualification. Part of the Broader Approach (BA) agreement between Japan and EURATOM, the goal of the IFMIF/EVEDA project is to work on the engineering design of IFMIF and to validate the main technological challenges which, among a wide diversity of hardware includes the LIPAC (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator), a 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV mainly designed and manufactured in Europe. The aim of this paper is to address the engineering issues of the MEBT and SRF linac related to assembly and Integration at LIPAc facility, focusing in the seismic analysis of the beamlines to ensure the robustness of the equipment and the alignment activities with the cutting edge technology performed in Europe before sending the components to Rokkasho. These activities are essential before starting the installation process of the MEBT in the first half of 2016, and to initiate the assembly and integration of the SRF Linac cryomodule in the next phase.

  HEPS-TF is the test facility of HEPS (High Energy Pho-ton Source) of China. The magnet girders are used for supporting and positioning of the magnets. As the beam emittance is very low, the girder must has high adjusting precision and high stability. Besides, the girder should also be beam-based aligned. For these issues, two girder systems are designed. Both of them use cam mover mech-anisms for precision adjustment. One has six cam mover mechanisms and another has eight. The design aim of the alignment accuracy between girders is within 50 μm, and the adjusting resolution is within 3μm. The design aim of the natural frequency is above 30 Hz. This paper will discuss the scheme selection and structural design of the girder systems.

  The LHC collimation system is designed to provide effective cleaning against losses coming from off-momentum particles, either due to un-captured beam or to an unexpected RF frequency change. For this reason the LHC is equipped with a hierarchy of collimators in IR3: primary, secondary and absorber collimators. After every collimator alignment or change of machine configuration the off-momentum cleaning efficiency is validated with loss maps at low intensity. We describe here the improved technique used in 2015 to generate such loss maps without completely dumping the beam into the collimators. The achieved performance of the collimation system for momentum cleaning is reviewed.

WEPMW034 First Operational Experience with Embedded Collimator BPMs in the LHC embedded, collimation, pick-up, interlocks 2510

  During Long Shutdown 1, 18 Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collimators were replaced with a new design, in which beam position monitor (BPM) pick-up buttons are embedded in the collimator jaws. The BPMs provide a direct measurement of the beam orbit at the collimators, and therefore can be used to align the collimators more quickly than using the standard technique which relies on feedback from beam losses. Online orbit measurements also mean that margins in the collimation hierarchy placed specifically to cater for unknown orbit drifts can be reduced, therefore increasing the beta-star and luminosity reach of the LHC. In this paper, the first operational results are presented, including a comparison with the standard alignment technique and a fill-to-fill analysis of the measured orbit in different machine modes in the first year of running after the shutdown.

  Hefei Light Source has successfully completed a major upgrade project, which greatly improves the light source performance. As one of the most important criteria, the stability of the beam orbit in the storage ring can greatly influence the overall performance of the light source. In this paper we present our efforts on stabilizing the beam orbit during the commissioning of the HLS-II storage ring. We optimized the performance of the power supplies of the ring corrector magnets. The target beam orbit is obtained by measuring the center of the quadrupole magnets using the beam-based alignment method. We also developed a multi-functional orbit feedback system to keep the beam moving on the golden orbit. With these measures, the beam orbit gets more stable than ten percent of the beam size at the light source points.

  To maintain stable electron beam parameters (Energy 10GeV, Charge 200pC, Bunch Length 60fs, Emittance X/Y 0.481um/0.256um), PAL-XFEL equipment should keep the alignment of accelerator (±100um) and undulator (±50um) constant. To ensure the precise measurement and alignment of PAL-XFEL, GPS-based surface geodetic network and the installation of a tunnel measurement network inside buildings was prepared and the fiducialization of major equipment was completed. After PAL-XFEL equipment is aligned, if the ground and buildings go through vertical changes during operation, tilt and misalignment of equipments (correct magnet, BPM, accelerator) will cause errors in the electron beam trajectory, which will lead to changes in the beam parameter. Hydrostatic Levelling System (HLS) was installed to measure vertical changes in buildings and the ground (sinking and uplifting) continuously and systematically, and Wire Position System (WPS) installed to measure changes in Girder. This paper introduces the operation principle, design concept, installation status, and operation status of WPS.

Minimisation of the long-range wakefields (WF) is assured by damping of the HOM through four radial waveguides in each cell without distorting the accelerating mode. As an extension of them, there are four bent waveguides called WF monitors (WFM) in the middle cell with two RF pick-ups. To obtain a small beam emittance in the collision point, micro-metric pre-alignment of the AS is required. We work to find the electrical centre of the AS through the use of the asymmetry in the RF scattering parameters created by an off-centre conductive wire, stretched along the axis. The accuracy required is of 7 μm with a resolution of 3.5 μm for the WFM signals including the acquisition electronics. Our simulations have shown that a resolution of 1 μm is possible using a calibrated VNA. Measurement results and improvements of the final accuracy will be presented and discussed.

  The Compact Linear Collider requires 10 μm accuracy over 200m for the alignment of its components. Since current techniques based on stretched wire or water level are difficult to implement, other options are under study. We propose a laser alignment system using positioning sensors made of camera/shutter assemblies. The goal is to implement such a positioning sensor. The corresponding studies comprise design and calibration as well as investigations of measurement accuracy and precision. On the one hand, we describe mathematically the laser beam propagation, its interaction with the shutter and image processing. On the other hand, we present experiments done with the prototype of a positioning sensor. As a result, we give practical suggestions to build the positioning sensors and we describe a calibration protocol to be applied to all sensors before measuring. In addition, we deliver estimates for measurement accuracy and precision. Our work provides the first steps towards a full alignment system.

  The high luminosity upgrade for the LHC at CERN (HL-LHC project) will extend the discovery potential of the LHC by a factor 10. It relies on key innovative technologies like superconducting cavities for beam rotation, named 'crab cavities'. Two crab cavities will be hosted in a superconducting cryostat working at a cold (<3 K). The position of each cavity will be monitored during the cool-down and the operation in order to comply with the tight alignment tolerances: the misalignment of a cavity axis w.r.t. the other will have to be lower than 0.5 mm and each cavity roll w.r.t. the cryostat axis will have to be lower than 1 mrad. Moreover, the monitoring system will have to be radiation hard (up to 10 MGy) and maintenance free. We propose a solution based on the Frequency Scanning Interferometry to provide the position monitoring of the crab cavities. This paper describes the design and study of such a solution, including the engineering approach, the issues encountered and the lessons learnt.

  Installation of the Solaris synchrotron has been accomplished at the beginning of the 2015. Although the machine is a replica of the 1.5 GeV ring at MAX IV in Sweden, the entire group responsible for the installation, was facing numerous problems during the entire installation period. One of the most critical issues that are responsible for the proper functionality of the machine is the survey of the machine. An appropriate alignment of the components in accordance to each other as also to the building, provides a good quality of the beam so extensively desired by the beamline's users. This paper presents the results of the alignment in the 1.5 GeV ring, describes possible critical sectors of the ring that might influence the accuracy of the measurements and juxtapose the results with the values gained during the operational phase of the synchrotron. This comparison enables the identification of the beam losses and extension of the lifetime of the electron beam.

  We report on the status and design of the Intense Beam Experiment (IBEX) at RAL. This experiment consists of a linear Paul trap apparatus similar to the S-POD system at University of Hiroshima, confining non-neutral Argon plasma in an RF quadrupole field. The physical equivalence between this device and a beam in a linear focusing channel makes it a useful tool for accelerator physics studies including resonances and high intensity effects. We give an overview of the design and construction of IBEX and outline plans for commissioning and the future experimental programme.

  Obtaining accurate linear and nonlinear accelerator models is critical for routine accelerator operation. Here we consider a method based on BPM data and generating functions that provides fitted accelerator model. Using measurements from at least three BPMs and generating functions between them allows obtaining momenta at BPMs as the functions of model parameters and comparing them. Thus, lattice parameters can be fitted. Theoretical results are presented and the method is applied to the model examples.

  The FCC-hh (Future Hadron-Hadron Circular Collider) is one of the three options considered for the next genera-tion accelerator in high-energy physics as recommended by the European Strategy Group [*]. Preliminary studies have started to estimate the design parameters of FCC-hh. One of these studies is the calculation of the residual orbit in the arcs of the collider. This is very important for the evaluation of the alignment tolerances of the quadru-poles used in the arcs, the dimensioning of the correctors and of the beam screen. Moreover it has an impact on the dynamic aperture of the ring and the field tolerances of the arc multipoles. To perform the simulations, the beam transport code MADX has been used. Systematic studies of the residual orbit and of the correctors' strength de-pendence on the magnets misalignment or field errors are presented and discussed.

  SESAME storage ring magnets have been recently constructed and measured. The storage ring beam dynamics is reviewed in this article in view of these results. Moreover it is shown how the optical impact of dipoles main field errors is more mitigated by sorting dipoles in the storage ring in addition to the alignment optimization method suggested by magnetic measurement outcome.

  Tuning the Final-Focus System of future linear colliders is one of the open challenges the linear collider community is undertaking. Future colliders like ILC and CLIC will feature complex lattice design to focus the beams to nanometer level at the Interaction Point. Standard Beam-Based Alignment (BBA) techniques have proven to hardly meet the requirements in terms of acceptable emittance growth, in both machines. A set of new techniques, respectively called: nonlinear Dispersion-Free Steering (DFS), DFS-knobs scan, and hybrid DFS-knobs with beamsize measurements, have been put in place to cope with the challenge. This paper will reveal the key ideas behind the new techniques, and compare their effectiveness w.r.t. the conventional BBA tuning procedures.

THPMY006 Analysis and Testing of a New RF Bridge Concept as an Alternative to Conventional Sliding RF Fingers in LHC vacuum, operation, impedance, ion 3660
 
  • J. Perez Espinos, C. Garion
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  RF fingers are used as transition elements in beam vacuum line interconnections to ensure the continuity of the vacuum system wall within acceptable beam stability requirements. The RF fingers must absorb and compensate longitudinal, angular and transversal misalignments due to both thermal effects, during bake-out or cooldown processes, and mechanical movements during assembly, alignment, commissioning and operation phases. The new RF bridge concept is based on a deformable thin-walled structure in copper beryllium, which fulfils the above requirements without the need of sliding contacts. Mechanical tests have been carried out to characterize the response and the lifetime of such a component under different loading conditions. In addition, finite element models have been used to estimate the behaviour. The influence of different material grades and heat treatments on the reliability is presented. The paper includes a detailed analysis of the prototyping and testing phases that have led to a final design of the system, qualified on a dedicated test bench, for the collimator vacuum modules of LHC.

  The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator, the high intensity deuteron linac compact demonstrator of the IFMIF machine, is in an advanced installation phase at BA site (Rokkasho, Japan), within a European-Japan collaboration coordinated respectively by F4E and JAEA. The RFQ (5 Mev, 130 mA) is an Italian in-kind contribution under the responsibility of INFN. Is it a 9,8 m-long structure made of 18 modules, pre-assembled in three parts. The various aspects of the RFQ integration inside the LIPAc are presented here, with details about the various functional services of the RFQ, the different interfaces with other sub-components of the linac and with the building and the structural validation through the seismic analysis. Some peculiar aspects related to the installation of the RFQ are also detailed (i.e. the handling tooling, precise positioning jigs).

  The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the vibration level and spectrum for TPS deionized water pumps. The utility systems started to operate from the beginning of 2014, some of deionized water pumps produced higher vibration level and noise during operation. The possibly reason could be not appropriated installation and commission test. In order to figure out the status of these deionized water pumps, the vibration analysis become needed. After vibration test, the booster(BO) and copper(CU) deionized water pump systems generate higher vibration level. According to the vibration test results, the pump is repair and maintain. Although there is some problems for TPS deionized water pumps, the vibration test is still one important way to maintain utility systems. The utility systems could prevent malfunction through regular vibration inspection.

  SuperKEKB is an electron-positron collider, which aims to achieve a peak luminosity 40 times higher than that of KEKB. The vertical beam sizes of both rings are squeezed down to 50 - 60 nm at the interaction point (IP), which accounts for a factor of 20 in the luminosity increase, and the beam currents are doubled from those of KEKB. Tunnel motion can be critical for realizing the collisions of such small beams. A Hydrostatic Leveling System (HLS), which consists of 18 sensors, was installed on both sides of the IP to monitor tunnel level variations continuously. Effects of heavy rain and installation of the radiation shield blocks on the tunnel floor level are clearly seen. The HLS data during construction and SuperKEKB commissioning are reported.

  SuperKEKB is an electron-positroncollider, which aims to achieve a peak luminosity 40 times higher than that of KEKB by using the so-called 'nano-beam' scheme. A major upgrade to the Main Ring (MR) magnet system was needed to realize this scheme. The upgrade includes 1) new beam lines in the entire interaction region;2) replacement of the main dipole magnets in the positron ring; 3) a new layout of the wiggler sections in the positron ring, and newly added wiggler section in the electron ring, and; 4) sextupole magnets with tunable tilting tables to control the ratio of skew/normal sextupole components in the positron ring. More than 400 magnets were designed, fabricated, field-measured, installed in the tunnel and aligned in time for Phase 1 commissioning. Alignment of the MR magnets was challenging, since the survey network was destroyed by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Tunnel position changes during the magnet alignment work caused by construction of a new facilities building made the alignment work even more challenging. Construction of the MR magnet system and its first commissioning are reported.

  CLIC is a design study for a 3 TeV linear collider designed for the high-energy frontier in the post-LHC era. The Ring To Main Linac (RTML) part of CLIC is a long section that must transport the electron and the positron bunches through more than 20 km of beamlines, with minimal emittance growth. A sequence of three beam-based alignment (BBA) techniques must be used to transport the beam: one-to-one correction (OTO), dispersion-free steering (DFS), and sextupole correction (SCS). The performance of the whole correction procedure is tested under several realistic imperfections: magnets position offsets, magnets rotation errors, magnets strength errors and emittance measurement errors. The results show that the emittance growth budgets can be met both in the horizontal and vertical planes.

  CLIC (Compact LInear Collider) is a study of a 50 km long linear electron-positron collider, consisting of ap-proximately 20,000 repetitive 2 m long modules. Micron level manufacturing and alignment tolerances are re-quired for the RF and magnet components due to the nanometre beam size and luminosity goal. The effect of thermal, vacuum and mechanical loads needs to be as-sessed, both in transient and in steady state conditions. The dynamic behaviour of mock-ups was investigated on the prototype two-beam module. Two additional two-beam modules are installed to further investigate the interconnections between them, in a machine-like envi-ronment. The array of three consecutive modules allows for alignment tests of the module sequence, while thermal and vacuum tests can be executed simultaneously. A transportation experiment is foreseen, investigating the feasibility of installing prealigned modules. Finally, new design of components is being tested, based on the expe-rience gathered from the first module and leading to a new generation module.
