An experiment to measure the Coherent Smith-Purcell radiation has been installed in the SOLEIL Linac. Its aim is to produce a map of Smith-Purcell radiation emissions in several planes and compare it with theoretical predictions. Coherent Smith Purcell radiation is produced when a grating is brought close from a sufficiently short charged particles beam. The experiment consist of two detectors with 5 degrees of freedom. These two detectors can be moved around the emission point to measure the intensity of the radiation at different locations. Radiation maps are recorded parasitically by moving the detectors around during normal linac operations.

Smith-Purcell radiation is used in several applications including the measurement of the longitudinal profile of electron bunches. A correct reconstruction of such profile requires a good understanding of the underlying model. We have compared the leading models of Smith-Purcell radiation and shown that they are in agreement within the experimental errors.

  In this paper, we present experimental and numerical studies of the signals from the Poisson-like distributions resulting from electrons incident on a diamond sensor placed near the exit of the PHIL photoinjector facility at LAL. The experiments were performed at the newly commissioned Low Energy Electron TECHnology (LEETECH) platform at PHIL. Bunches of 10x9 electrons are first generated and accelerated to 3.5 MeV by PHIL. The electrons are then filtered in LEETECH by a system of collimators, using a dipole magnet for momentum selection. The diamond sensor is located immediately after the output collimator to collect electrons in the range 2.5-3 MeV. We show that with standard scCVD diamonds of 500 micrometers thickness, the energy losses from the first three MIP (minimum ionizing particle) electrons are clearly resolved. We did not observe distinguishable peaks in cases when a significant fraction of the incident electrons had energies below a MIP. The described technique can be used as complementary approach for calibration of diamond detectors as well as to diagnose and help control accelerated beams in a regime down to a few particles.

The Electron Stretcher Facility ELSA provides a polarized electron beam with energies of 0.5 - 3.2 GeV for double polarization hadron physics experiments. Monitoring the vertical electron polarization by Compton polarimetry in the stretcher ring has several advantages over the established polarization measurement by Moeller polarimetry. The Compton polarimeter setup presented consists of a 40 W cw disk laser featuring two polarized photon beams colliding head-on with the stored electron beam in ELSA. A silicon strip detector measures the vertical intensity profile of the backscattered photons. The reversal of handedness of the laser beam's circular polarization results in a polarization dependent vertical shift of this profile. From a calibration using time dependent polarization build-up due to the Sokolov-Ternov effect, the polarization degree of the electron beam can be extracted. After recent laser repairs as well as beamline and detector modifications, first measurement attempts of the electron's polarization degree were conducted. The performance of the beamline and first measurements are presented.

  A ROtating System for Emittance measurements ROSE, to measure the full 4 dimensional transverse beam matrix of an ion beam has been developed and commissioned. Different ion beams behind the HLI at GSI have been used in two commissioning beam times. All technical aspects of ROSE have been tested, ROSE has been benchmarked against existing emittance scanners for horizontal and vertical projections, and the method, hard-, and software to measure the 4D beam matrix has been upgraded, refined, and successfully commissioned. The inter plane correlations of the HLI beam have been measured, yet as no significant initial correlations were found to be present, controlled coupling of the beam by using a skew triplet has been applied and confirmed with ROSE. The next step is to use ROSE to measure and remove the known inter plane correlations of a uranium beam before SIS18 injection.

Coherent THz pulses induced by a laser-electron interac- tion are routinely produced and observed at DELTA, a 1.5- GeV synchrotron light source operated by the TU Dortmund University. At a dedicated THz beamline, measurements using a Fourier-transform spectrometer have been performed between 1 THz and 7 THz. Recently, an ultrafast Schottky- diode detector and a novel polarizing Fourier-transform spec- trometer were installed, which enable turn-by-turn-resolved spectral measurements in the frequency range below 1 THz. The commissioning results of the new spectrometer and simulations are presented.

The ANKA storage ring offers different operation modes including the short-bunch mode with bunch lengths tuned down to a few picoseconds. This can lead to the occurrence of micro-bunching instabilities coupled to the emission of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in so-called 'bursts'. To study this CSR instability we use several turn-by-turn enabled detector systems to synchronously measure both the THz signal as well as bunch profiles. The different detectors are placed at different locations around the storage ring. Here we discuss the experimental setup and calibration of the various systems' synchronisation.

Micro-bunching instabilities limit the longitudinal compression of bunches in an electron storage ring. They create substructures on the bunch profile of some hundred micrometer size leading to coherently emitted synchrotron radiation in the THz range. To detect the changing THz spectrum, single-shot bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn measurements are necessary. We present recent experiments at ANKA where the spectral information is extracted by simultaneous detection with several narrowband THz detectors, each of them sensitive in a different frequency range.

  Electron cloud instability is presented in most of the high intensity proton rings. During the Slow beam extraction (SX) mode at Main Ring of J-PARC, signals related with its formation were observed. An electron cloud detector is installed downstream of the ElectroStatic Septum (ESS), to measure the electron signal. Additionally, scintillation detector with photomultiplier, a proportional counter and photo-diode were set closely to the electron cloud detector to observe the beam lost. This paper presents the measurements of the electron cloud and some of the conditions which support its creation, for instance the signal of lost particle from the beam loss monitors, the residual gas in the vacuum duct by using vacuum pressure gauges, etc.

Electron bunch length measurement is of great significance for optimizing IRFEL performance. An optical autocorrelation system using coherent transition radiation (CTR) would be set up to measure the electron bunch length at the IRFEL. CTR can be occurred when short electron bunches traverse a vacuum-metal interface. A Martin-Puplett interferometer allowed measurement of the autocorrelation of the CTR signal. The basic principle and the main components of Martin-Puplett interferometer are elaborated in this paper.

The existing techniques for gamma beam diagnostics at medical accelerators based on X-ray films have several disadvantages such as insufficient spatial resolution, difficult realization and off-line mode. In the works*,** a feasibility of Cherenkov radiation (CR) in glass fibers for charged particle beam diagnostics was demonstrated. An application of glass fibers scanning for gamma beam diagnostics may have a lot advantages including a possibility of on-line measurements. For this goal we used optical fiber with 0.6 mm diameter and length up to 10 m. An efficiency of CR generation in such fibers and signal attenuation in a long fiber were investigated using the Tomsk microtron electron beam. The shape of gamma beam field produced by the medical SL-75-5MT 6 MeV electron accelerator was measured using the proposed technique. It is shown there it is possible to measure not only gamma beam spatial distribution, but also its angular distribution.

Since 1995, when the diffraction radiation (DR) from relativistic particles was first observed*, the development of new approaches using the DR for charged particle beam diagnostics is continued. The DR appears when charged particle moves close to the media and the electromagnetic field interacts with it. A rather well-known non-invasive diagnostic method of transversal bunch size is to use a slit target**. In paper*** the optical DR from disphase target was proposed to use for non-invasive diagnostics of high energy electron beam. Disphase target consists of the two rectangular flat plates inclined with respect to each other at an angle compared with 1/g, where g is the Lorentz-factor. Recently the feasibility of the disphase target usage for the 6 MeV electron beam size diagnostics was investigated****. In this report we present the further research of the disphase target beam diagnostics. The simulations of the spectral-angular DR characteristics from this target and it application for diagnostics aim are shown. These calculations confirm an applicability of this technique for micron size beam measurements for the case of g>1000.

  Linac-4, a 140 MeV H-linear accelerator is designed to replace the aging 50 MeV proton Linac. It will consist of an H-source and 45 keV LEBT, an RFQ and 3 MeV MEBT with a chopper, 3 drift tube linac (DTL) tanks accelerating the beam to 12, 30 and 50 Mev, cavity coupled structures (CCDTL) accelerating it to 100 MeV and a pi mode structure bringing it to its design energy of 160 MeV. This paper reports on the commissioning of the DTL and CCDTL with 2 dedicated temporary measurement lines, the first one adapted to the 12 MeV beam while the second one is dedicated to characterize the 50 MeV and the 100 MeV beams. The beam diagnostic devices used in these lines is described as well as results obtained.

  Interactions of high-energy beam particles with residual gas offer a unique opportunity to measure the beam profile in a non-intrusive fashion. Such a method was successfully pioneered* at the LHCb experiment using a silicon microstrip vertex detector. During the recent Large Hadron Collider shutdown at CERN, a demonstrator Beam-Gas Vertexing system based on eight scintillating-fibre modules was designed**, constructed and installed on Ring 2 to be operated as a pure beam diagnostics device. The detector signals are read out and collected with LHCb-type front-end electronics and a DAQ system consisting of a CPU farm. Tracks and vertices will be reconstructed to obtain a beam profile in real time. Here, first commissioning results are reported. The advantages and potential for future applications of this technique are discussed.

  During the operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2015, increased injection losses were observed. To minimize stress on accelerator components in the injection regions of the LHC and to guarantee an efficient operation these losses needed to be understood and possible mitigation techniques should be studied. Measurements with diamond particle detectors revealed the loss structure with ns-resolution for the first time. Based on these measurements, recaptured beam from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) surrounding the nominal bunch train was identified as the major contributor to the injection loss signals. Methods to reduce the recaptured beam in the SPS were successfully tested and verified with the diamond particle detectors. In this paper the detection and classification of LHC injection losses are described. The methods to reduce these losses and verification measurements are presented and discussed.

  A single shot spectrometer has been designed and is in operation at the Diamond Light Source (DLS). It is an array of eight Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) each with a distinct frequency band covering 33-1000 GHz. The aim of the spectrometer is to observe the bursts of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) as a result of micro-bunching instabilities (MBI) and stable low alpha modes, where alpha is the momentum compaction factor. In this case, the bursts of CSR occur with wavelengths in the mm regime. SBDs are often implemented as detectors in the millimetre wavelength range and benefit from low noise, excellent sensitivity and ultra-fast responses. The eight SBDs have been individually characterised thus making the results obtained comparable to simulations. Here we present, an analysis of the data obtained via the spectrometer in particular, the bursting nature and spectral characteristics of a sample of beam modes at DLS. Furthermore, the results obtained can be used to confirm simulations.

We propose to use the polarization of coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (cSPr) to separate the signal from background radiation in a single-shot longitudinal bunch profile monitor. We compare simulation and experimental results for the degree of polarization of cSPr generated by a grating with a 1mm periodic structure at the LUCX facility, KEK (Japan). Both experiment and simulation show that the majority of the cSPr signal is polarized in the direction parallel to the grating grooves. The degree of polarization predicted by simulation is higher than the measured result, therefore further investigation is needed to resolve this discrepancy.

Measurement of stresses and strains in the mercury target vessel of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is important to understand the structural dynamics of the target. Owing to their compactness, easy system integration, and invulnerability to the electromagnetic interference, fiber optic strain sensors have been installed into the SNS target module starting from the fall of 2015. In this talk, we report on the development of radiation-resistant fiber optic strain sensors for subsequent generations of SNS target instrumentation. The sensors are extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometers (EFPIs) made from fluorine-doped single-mode fibers. The radiation induced loss of the fiber has been measured in the SNS target 13 at the energy-on-target level exceeding 500 MWhr which results in peak doses on fiber of more than 109 Gy. A superluminescent diode laser at 1300 nm is used as the light source and the strain is measured in real-time using quadrature phase shifted signals generated from a local interferometer. We have demonstrated successful measurements of strains from 1 to 1000 με at a kHz frequency range on a test plate using the developed interrogation optical system.

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.

As part of research on the physics of rf breakdowns we performed experiments with high gradient traveling-wave mm-wave accelerating structures. The accelerating structures are open, composed of two identical halves separated by an adjustable gap. The electromagnetic fields are excited by an ultra-relativistic electron beam. We observed that a confined travelling-wave mode exists in half of the accelerating structure. The experiments were conducted at FACET facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Depending on the gap width, the accelerating structure had beam-synchronous frequencies that vary from 90 to 140 GHz. When we opened the gap by more than half wavelength the synchronous wave remains trapped. Its behavior is consistent with the so called "surface wave". We characterized this beam-wave interaction by several methods: measurement of the radiated rf energy with the pyro-detector, measurement of the spectrum with an interferometer, measurement of the beam deflection by using the beam position monitors and profile monitor.

We studied the physics and properties of rf breakdowns in high gradient traveling-wave accelerating structures at 100 GHz. The structures are open, made of two halves with a gap in between. The rf fields were excited in the structure by an ultra-relativistic electron beam generated by the FACET facility at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We observed rf breakdowns generated in the presence of GV/m scale electric fields. We varied the rf fields excited by the FACET bunch by moving structure relative to the beam and by changing the gap between structure halves. Reliable breakdowns detectors allowed us to measure the rf breakdown rate at these different rf parameters. We measured radiated rf energy with a pyro-detector. When the beam was off-axis, we observed beam deflection in the beam position monitors and on the screen of a magnetic spectrometer. The measurements of the deflection allowed us to verify our calculation of the accelerating gradient.

  Structure of the dark current passed through the undulator is a matter of great concern. Two effects can contribute to the dark current: emission of electrons from "hot" spots in the gun, and generation of "ghost" bunches due to possible leakage of the photoinjector laser. MCP based photon detector has been used for measurements of radiation energy from electron bunch. For small radiation densities the light is detected by direct illumination of the MCP plate, and for large densities a small angle scattering scheme is realized when metallic mesh scatters tiny fraction of light on the MCP plate. In the present experiment we used geometry of direct illumination of MCP plate aiming detection of "ghost" bunches which may generate parasitically from the laser driven electron gun. Reduction of background conditions allowed us to detect light produced by electron bunches with extremely small charges, down to a few femtocoulmb. We measured for the first time structure of the dark current passing through the FLASH undulator. We have also been able to measure a high contrast of radiation produced by the photoinjector laser pulses switched on and off by a 1 MHz repetition rate Pockels cells.

Providing Au-Au collisions in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at energies equal or lower than 10 GeV/nucleon is of particular interest to study the location of a critical point in the QCD phase diagram. To mitigate luminosity limitations arising from intra-beam scattering at such low energies, an electron cooling system is being developed. To achieve cooling, the relative velocities of the electrons and protons need to be small with maximized transverse overlap. Recombination rates of ions with electrons in the electron cooler can provide signals that can be used to tune the energies and transverse overlap to the required conditions. In this paper we take a close look at various detection methods for recombination processes that may be used to approach cooling.

  The High Intensity and Energy ISOLDE project (HIE-ISOLDE)* is a major upgrade of the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The energy range of the post-accelerator will be extended from 2.85 MeV/u to 9.3 MeV/u for beams with A/q = 4.5 (and to 14.3 MeV/u for A/q = 2.5) once all the cryomodules of the superconducting accelerator are in place. The project has been divided into different phases, the first of which (phase 1a) finished in October 2015 after the hardware and beam commissioning were completed**. The physics campaign followed with the delivery of both radioactive and stable beams to two different experimental stations. The characteristics of the beams (energies, intensities, time structure and beam contaminants) and the plans for the next experimental campaign will be discussed in this paper.

  The Future Circular hadron Collider (FCC-hh), which is designed to operate at a centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV and to deliver ambitious targets in terms of both instantaneous and integrated luminosity, poses extreme challenges in terms of machine protection during operation and with respect to long-term damages. Energy deposition studies are a crucial ingredient for its design. One of the relevant radiation sources are collision debris particles, which de- posit their energy in the interaction region elements and in particular in the superconducting magnet coils of the final focus triplet quadrupoles, to be protected from the risk of quenching and deterioration. In this contribution, the collision debris will be characterised and expectations obtained with FLUKA will be presented, including magnet lifetime considerations. New techniques including crossing angle gymnastics for peak dose deposition mitigation (as recently introduced in the framework of the LHC operation), will be discussed.

  As part of the post-LHC high-energy program, a study is ongoing to design a new 100 km long hadron collider, which is expected to operate at a centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV and to accumulate up to 30 ab−1, with a peak instantaneous luminosity that could reach 30 1034cm−2s−1. In this context, the evaluation of the radiation load on the detector is a key step for the choice of materials and technologies. In this contribution, a first detector concept will be presented. At the same time, fluence distributions, relevant for detector occupancy, and accumulated damage on materials and electronics will be shown. The effectiveness of a possible shielding configuration, intended to minimise the background in the muon chambers and tracking stations, will be presented.

We discuss the choice of target values for the peak and integrated luminosity of a future high-energy frontier circular hadron collider (FCC-hh). We review the arguments on the physics reach of a hadron collider. Next we show that accelerator constraints will limit the beam current and the turnaround time. Taking these limits into account, we derive an expression for the ultimate integrated luminosity per year, depending on a possible pile-up limit imposed by the physics experiments. We finally benchmark our result against the planned two phases of FCC-hh.

  Cooled muon beams set the basis for the exploration of physics of flavour at a Neutrino Factory and for multi-TeV collisions at a Muon Collider. The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) measures beam emittance before and after an ionization cooling cell and aims to demonstrate emittance reduction in muon beams. In the current MICE Step IV configuration, the MICE muon beam passes through low-Z absorber material for reducing its transverse emittance through ionization energy loss. Two scintillating fiber tracking detectors, housed in spectrometer solenoid modules upstream and downstream of the absorber are used for reconstructing position and momentum of individual muons for calculating transverse emittance reduction. However, due to existence of non-linear effects in beam optics, transverse emittance growth can be observed. Therefore, it is crucial to develop algorithms that are insensitive to this apparent emittance growth. We describe a different figure of merit for measuring muon cooling which is the direct measurement of the phase space density.

  We are developing a new compact accelerator system to generate a high power terahertz (THz) radiation at the Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University. THz radiations are produced by injecting ultra-short and intense electron pulses to a short plannar undulator. The bunch compression characteristic by the newly installed chicane was investigated by observation of a coherent part of an optical transition radiation (OTR). As the result, the chicane can compress the electron bunch at the laser injection phase from 10 to 40 degree. The beam energy and relative rms energy spread were also measured and the results were 4.6 MeV and 1.3 %, respectively.

  A test-Accelerator as Coherent Terahertz Source (t-ACTS) project has been under development at Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University. In order to generate a coherent radiation in terahertz (THz) region, it is necessary to produce sub-picosecond electron pulses. Velocity bunching scheme is employed for the short electron pulse production in t-ACTS. We experimentally confirmed the production of short electron pulse under 500 fs by measuring the bunch length using a streak camera. Coherent transition radiation in THz region was produced by which the short electron pulses pass through a vacuum-metal interface. Several radiation properties including spatial distribution, polarization and spectrum were measured and compared with theoretical calculations. The details of the beam experiment at t-ACTS are described.

  Radioactive isotopes have been produced via photo-nuclear reaction using a 60 MeV high-power electron linac for research fields of nuclear chemistry and radioac-tive analysis at Research Center for Electron Photon Science (ELPH), Tohoku University. The electron beam with an average current more than 100 μA is transported to an electron-bremsstrahlung gamma-ray converter of 2 mm thickness platinum or tungsten plate at the irradiation station. A target of 10 mm diameter is placed 3 cm behind a converter. It is enclosed with a quartz glass in the water cooling system and is irradiated for photonuclear reaction. Since the correlation between the spatial profile of bremsstrahlung gamma-rays at the target position and accelerator parameters is of our primary interest, nickel thin films are irradiated and the profiles of bremsstrahlung gamma-rays are measured by intensity distribution measurements of 57Ni radioactivity using the phosphorus imaging plate. In the meantime, the beam emittance and Twiss parameters are measured.

Terahertz part of electromagnetic spectrum has a variety of potential applications ranging from fundamental to security applications. Further advances in development of a linac based, tunable, and narrow band coherent source of THz radiation are very important. Mechanisms of Cherenkov radiation and Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR) [*] may be used for generation of THz radiation via coherent emission [**, ***]. In this report we will present experimental investigations of the SPR generated from the corrugated capillary with a reflector, using the femtosecond multi-bunch electron beam of LUCX accelerator at KEK, Japan [****]. LUCX is capable to generate a train of 4 bunches each with 200 femtosecond (60 micrometer) duration and 200 micrometer transverse size. We will discuss the composite design of the capillary, measurements of the SPR angular distributions and the comparison of these measurements with PIC simulations. In addition, we will discuss SPR spectral characteristics; bunch energy modulation, introduced by the corrugated capillary; and the way in which the bunch spacing changes the spectrum and angular distributions of SPR.

We have been developing a compact X-ray source based on Laser Compton scattering(LCS) at Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source(LUCX) accelerator in KEK. Our aim is to obtain a clear X-ray image in a shorter period of times and the target number of X-ray is 1.7x107 photons/pulse with 10% bandwidth. In the accelerator, an electron beam with the energy of 18-24 MeV is generated by an S-band normal conducting accelerator. The beam is collided with a laser pulse stacked in a 4-mirror planar optical cavity and then 6-10 keV X-rays are generated by LCS. Presently, the generation of X-rays with the number of 3x106 photons/pulse at the collision point has been achieved. X-ray imaging test such as refraction contrast images and phase contrast imaging with Talbot interferometer has also started. To increase the intensity of X-rays, we are continuing the tuning of the electron beam and the optical cavity because the exposure time of X-ray imaging is too long now. We are also planning to increase the beam energy by appending the accelerating tube. In this conference, the recent results and upgrade plan in LUCX will be reported.

The photoinjector at the new Fermilab FAST facility will accelerate electron beams to about 50 GeV. After initial beam commissioning, channeling radiation experiments to generate hard X-rays will be performed. In the initial stage, low bunch charge beams will be used to keep the photon count rate low and avoid pile up in the detector. We report here on the optics solutions, the expected channaling spectrum including background from bremmstrahlung and the use of a Compton scatterer for higher bunch charge operation.

  The x-ray target in medical electron linear accelerator is an important part in the production of x-ray photon beam. X-ray dose rate is depended on materials and thickness of the target. For the low cost 6 MeV prototype of medical linac in Thailand, this study gives the optimized x-ray target in which the dose rate can be maximized. MCNP simulations were performed during an optimization for a high x-ray dose rate at 1 meter away from the target. Progression of the project is also presented.

The Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) is the aim of a new European Training Network. OMA joins universities, research centers and clinical facilities with industry partners to address the challenges in: treatment facility design and optimization; numerical simulations for the development of advanced treatment schemes; and beam imaging and treatment monitoring. Projects include: compact accelerators for proton beam energy boosting and gantry design; strategies for improving Monte Carlo codes for medical applications and treatment planning; and advanced diagnostics for online beam monitoring. The latter involves RF-based measurements of ultra-low charges and new encoding methodologies for ultra-fast 3D surface scanning. This contribution presents an overview of the network's research program and highlights the various challenges across the three scientific work packages. It also summarizes the network-wide training program consisting of schools, topical workshops and conferences that will be open to the wider medical and accelerator communities.

Monochromatic gamma-ray beam in MeV energy region is suitable for non-destructive inspection of high density and massive objects because of its high penetrability. A specific nuclide can be detected by the process of Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF). A non-destructive inspection of Special Nuclear Materials hidden in a container cargo using NRF is proposed by Bertozzi*. Non-destructive detection of Pu inside of a spent nuclear fuel rod is also proposed for management of radioactive wastes, nuclear material accounting and safeguards**. We have developed 2D NRF imaging by using quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray beam in MeV energy region generated by Laser Compton Backscattering (LCS) method*** and proposed to develop an NRF-CT image in the ELI-NP where a high intensity LCS beam can be available in near future. To demonstrate and finalize the measurement system of the NRF-CT imaging by using LCS gamma-ray beam, we have started a study on NRF-CT imaging at the new LCS beamline in UVSOR. The LCS beamline can generate 5.4 MeV LCS gamma-rays with a flux of 1×107 photons/s. We have measured the 5.291 MeV NRF gamma-rays from a lead target in this beamline and tried to take a NRF-CT image.

  The physics program and the present status of the project of NICA collider, which is under construction at JINR (Dubna), are presented. The main goal of the project is to provide ion beams for experimental studies of hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The proposed physics program concentrates on the search for possible manifestations of the phase transitions and critical phenomena in the energy region, where the excited matter is produced with maximal achievable net baryon density, and clarification of the origin of nucleon spin. The collider will provide heavy ion collisions in the energy range of √sNN=4/11 GeV at average luminosity of L=1·1027cm−2·s−1 for 197Au79+ nuclei and polarized proton collisions in energy range of √sNN=12/27 GeV at luminosity of L≥1032cm−2·s-1. The key issue of the accelerator complex is application of sophisticated beam accumulation schemes and both stochastic and electron cooling methods. Strong space-charge effects in the collider arise a challenge to its optics and application of novel methods of beam stability maintenance.

  For the very low emittance beams in CLIC, it is vital to mitigate emittance growth which leads to reduced luminosity in the detectors. One factor that leads to emittance growth is transverse wakefields in the accelerating structures. In order to combat this the structures must be aligned with a precision of a few um. For achieving this tolerance, accelerating structures are equipped with wakefield monitors that measure higher-order dipole modes excited by the beam when offset from the structure axis. We report on such measurements, performed using prototype CLIC accelerating structures which are part of the module installed in the CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3) at CERN. Measurements with and without the drive beam that feeds rf power to the structures are compared. Improvements to the experimental setup are discussed, and finally remaining measurements that should be performed before the completion of the program are summarized.

  The funding scenario seems to improve based on the capability of a laboratory to generate technology that can be transferred to industry, in particular if the technology is of public interest. New research projects may benefit if the technology transfer is considered as an integral part of the project itself. The drawback could be that revenue generated by a successful technology transfer may give the impression that research projects only provide societal benefit by direct transfer through closed protocols. This paper provides an overview of different technology transfer projects worldwide and how different laboratories are dealing with the issue.

Following up on our 2013 and 2014 measurements of electron cloud trapping in a quadrupole magnet with 7.4~T/m gradient in the 5.3~GeV positron storage ring at Cornell University, we have redesigned the shielded-stripline time-resolving electron detector and installed a wide-aperture quadrupole magnet at a location in the ring where its field can be compensated by a nearby quadrupole, thus allowing the first measurements of cloud trapping as a function of field gradient. The transverse acceptance of the electron detector has been tripled, allowing tests of model predictions indicating a dramatic cloud splitting effect which exhibits a threshold behavior as a function of bunch population. In addition, a vacuum chamber optimized for cloud buildup measurements using resonant microwave phenomena has been employed. We describe design considerations and modeling predictions for the upcoming 2016 data-taking run. This project is part of the CESR Test Accelerator program, which investigates performance limitations in low-emittance storage and damping rings.

WEPMW015 Evaluation and Compensation of Detector Solenoid Effects in the JLEIC solenoid, ion, coupling, quadrupole 2454

The JLEIC detector solenoid has a strong 3 T field in the IR area, and its tails extend over a range of several meters. One of the main effects of the solenoid field is coupling of the horizontal and vertical betatron motions which must be corrected in order to preserve the dynamical stability and beam spot size match at the IP. Additional effects include influence on the orbit and dispersion caused by the angle between the solenoid axis and the beam orbit. Meanwhile it affects ion polarization breaking the figure-8 spin symmetry. Crab dynamics further complicates the picture. All of these effects have to be compensated or accounted for. The proposed correction system is equivalent to the Rotating Frame Method. However, it does not involve physical rotation of elements. It provides local compensation of the solenoid effects independently for each side of the IR. It includes skew quadrupoles, dipole correctors and anti-solenoids to cancel perturbations to the orbit and linear optics. The skew quadrupoles and FFQ together generate an effect equivalent to adjustable rotation angle to do the decoupling task. Details of all of the correction systems are presented.

The SLRI Beam Test Facility (SLRI BTF) is a part of the future upgrades of the SLRI accelerator complex. Upon completion, SLRI BTF will be able to produce electron test beams with the number of electrons ranging from a few to several thousand electrons per bunch. The project is divided into three stages based on the complexity of the electron reduction setups. The simple setup for the initial stage has been implemented without any modifications to the current high-energy beam transport line (HBT) while additional elements together with an existing 4-degree dipole are required for the short-term setup in the second stage. For the last stage, a new dedicated transfer line equipped with a high-resolution energy selector will be constructed to direct the electron beam from the HBT beam line to an experimental station. This project aims to provide a defined number of electrons with maximum energy of 1 GeV for calibration and testing of high energy detectors as well as other beam diagnostic instrumentations.

WEPOR019 Development of CVD Diamond Detector for Beam Conditioning Monitor at the SuperKEKB Linac target, radiation, electron, linac 2707

  Positron beams in SuperKEKB will be produced from electromagnetic showers originating from the interaction between primary electron beams and a tungsten target. Since the emittance of primary beams is very small, the target is easy to be destroyed if focused beams are irradiated. In the SuperKEKB LINAC, a plate called spoiler is placed in the upstream of the target to enlarge the beam spot size. If the beam control is in a correct way, radioactive rays will be observed near both the spoiler and the target. However, if the beam control is not successful and primary beams are irradiated directly on the target, significant radiations are observed only near the target. If such a behavior is observed, primary beams must be stopped to protect the target. Since the number of electrons in a bunch is quite large(~10nC), the radiation dose is expected to be very high. Therefore, the radiation detector is required to have a high radiation-tolerance over a long period of time. Diamond has a high radiation tolerance due to its strong covalent bond, and we are now developing radiation detectors using diamond crystals. In this talk, current status including beam test measurements will be shown.

  To increase the beam current in the Compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), the beam loss must be reduced to less than 0.01% during the transportation of 20 MeV electrons in order to suppress the radiation dose outside the accelerator room. Beam loss locations were successfully identified using the gold activation method, and the beam loss rate was estimated by com-paring the measured dose rate with the simulated dose rate on the roof of the cERL room. Beam operation with beam current of 0.90 mA was achieved with a beam loss rate of less than 0.01%.

  At J-PARC (the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), high intensity proton accelerator, controlling and localizing beam losses and residual radiations are key issue, because the residual radiation limits maintenance work in efficiency and working hours, and then limits machine availability. We are accumulating continuous measurement data of residual radiation after beam stop using beam loss monitors in the Main Ring (MR). The wire cylinder gaseous radiation detectors are used in a proportional counting region. The heads are DC-connected and have a gain as large as 30000 with a bias of -2 kV. We switch the DAQ trigger from "Beam Trigger" to "No Beam Trigger", change the ADC sampling rate to 16 ms, and raise the gain by changing the bias voltage from -1.6 kV to -2.0 kV with a few exceptions when the accelerator operation ends. The offsets are measured with zero bias voltage. Identification of radionuclides has been performed with time decay analysis, with assistance of energy spectrum measurements with the Gamma Ray Spectrometer, Kromek GR1-Spectro.

  Massive experimental works are aimed to clarify the structure of detector including CT with X ray machine, determining the thickness of dead layer with collimating radioactive source and ect. Measuring structure and size of the detector by X-ray computed tomography, measur-ing the dead layer thickness of detector's front surface and side surface though collimated point source method, scanning the dead layer distribution of the entire detec-tor. A finite element analysis software name CST is used to simulate electric field distribution of the HPGe detec-tor. Calibrating the efficiency of HPGe detector by means of point source and soil standard matter, A Monte Carlo software called MCNP is used to simulate detector effi-ciency preliminarily according to the structure parame-ters of the factory, optimizing and verifying simulated results on the basis of measured results. At last, the com-parison of the simulated and the experimental data showed very good agreement.

WEPOR029 Concept of a Fire and Gas Safety System for Accelerators interface, operation, radiation, cryogenics 2729
 
  • M. Dole, S. Grau, D. Raffourt
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  Today CERN's facilities are equipped with automatic smoke and gas detection systems. Upon smoke or gas leak detection, local safety actions are automatically performed and alarms indicating the location and type of danger are transmitted to the CERN Fire Brigade. The firefighters then size their intervention based on the information received. The increasing complexity, size and quantity of CERN installations drives safety systems to evolve in the direction of simplicity. Intuitive interfaces are required to cope with high turnover of firefighters, and the inherent multinational environment. Global overview of alarms and safety actions statuses are needed by firefighters to decide on the best strategy for intervention. In some emergency situations, it might be necessary to manually trigger remote actions. CERN is studying a new concept, inspired by French standards, where the detection and protection layers are separated and act independently, but provide a common interface. This paper presents an application of this concept for the SPS* accelerator. Detection, fire-compartment and evacuation zones are presented, as well as the architecture of the detection and protection layers.

LCLS-II XFEL facility at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will accelerate CW beams of up to 300 uA to 4 GeV using superconducting radio frequency cavities. Before installation, fully assembled cryomodules will be tested at Fermilab and Jefferson Lab. Besides the basic measurements of cavity gradients and cryogenic heat loads, radiation and dark current levels will be recorded. The latter parameters need to be limited to ensure the safety of the machine and the lifetime of radio-sensitive components installed near the cavities. In this paper we describe the simulation studies being done in preparation of tests, where expected radiation measurements in the different detectors are correlated with field emission and with dark currents in Faraday cups at each end of the cryomodule. This work includes simulations using a detailed model of the cryomodules and detectors, where field emission data generated with Track3P is parsed to the FLUKA radiation transport code.

  We want to summarize the beam line stabilization application with MTCA.4 electronics. Presented solution is based on the compact 2U MTCA.4 crate integrating sensor and actuator cards. The optical beam position sensor is based on quadrupole SI PIN photodiode connected to low cost AMC based FMC carrier equipped with ADC card. The optical beam position correction is done using picomotorized stages equipped with active piezo elements and high voltage RTM piezo driver. The data processing and digital feedback units are implemented using Spartan 6 FPGA. The control algorithm has been optimized for low latency and high precision computations. The control electronics performance has been tested using single beam line test stand consisted of commercial laser diode drivers, supported optics and motorized stages. The first results are demonstrated and future possible applications are briefly discussed.

We present the effects of the filling pattern structure in multi-bunch mode on the beam spectrum. This effects can be seen by all detectors whose resolution is better than the RF frequency, ranging from stripline and Schottky measurements to high resolution synchrotron radiation measurements. Our heterodyne measurements of the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation at 270 GHz reveal discrete frequency harmonics around the 100 000th revolution harmonic of ANKA, the synchrotron radiation facility in Karlsruhe, Germany. Significant effects of bunch spacing, gaps between bunch trains and variations in individual bunch currents on the emitted CSR spectrum are described by theory and supported by observations.

  Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a program that uses a suite of high energy physics software including Geant4, CLHEP & ROOT, that seamlessly tracks particles through accelerators and detectors utilising the full range of particles and physics processes from Geant4. BDSIM has been used to simulate linear colliders such as the International Linear Collider (ILC) and more recently, circular colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The latest developments including improved geometry modelling; external geometry support; process biasing; and a new event display are presented. A significantly revised and improved accompanying tool chain is presented comprising of a series of Python utilities that allow efficient and automatic preparation of models. Furthermore, a library for both ROOT and Python that provides powerful analysis and event viewing after simulation is demonstrated.

  Funding: This project is now supported by the COST Action CA15139 "Combining forces for a novel European facility for neutrino-antineutrino symmetry-violation discovery" (EuroNuNet).
ESSnuSB plans to produce very intense neutrino beams using the protons from the ESS linac (5 MW, 2 GeV) and a 4-targets horn system. In the ESSnuSB proposed facility a copious number of muons will also be produced. These muons could be used by a future Neutrino Factory to study CP violation in the leptonic sector but also to study neutrino cross-sections. They could also be used to feed a future muon collider. The feasibility and the issues of extracting the intense muon beam produced together with neutrinos are discussed.

  The Long Baseline Neutrino Facilities (LBNF) program aims to deliver a neutrino beam for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). The current baseline for LBNF is a conventional magnetic horn and decay pipe system. Neutrinos from PIon beam Line (nuPIL) is a part of the optimization effort to optimize the LBNF. It consists of a pion beam line after the horn to clean the beam of high energy protons and wrong-sign pions before transporting them into a decay beam line, where instrumentation could be implemented. This paper focuses on the FFAG solution for this pion beam line. The resulting neutrino flux is also presented.

The Fermilab Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) was proposed to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and demonstrate leptonic CP violation. The current design of the facility that produces the neutrino beam (LBNF) uses magnetic horns to collect pions and a decay pipe to allow them to decay. In this paper, a design of a possible alternative for the conventional neutrino beam in LBNF is presented. In this design, a FODO magnet beam line is used to collect the pions from the downstream face of a horn, bend them by  ∼ 5.8 degrees and then transport them in a straight beam line where they decay to produce neutrinos. The idea of using neutrinos from the PIon beam Line (nuPIL) provides flavor-pure neutrino beams that can be well understood by implementing standard beam measurement technology. The neutrino flux and the resulting δCP sensitivity from the FODO nuPIL are also presented in the paper.

THPMY008 Mechanical and Vacuum Stability Studies for the LHC Experiments Upgrade vacuum, ion, experiment, simulation 3667

  In April 2015, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has entered its second operational period that will last for 3 years with expected end of the operations at the beginning of 2019. Afterward, the LHC will undergo a long shutdown (LS2) for upgrade and maintenance. The four LHC experiments, ATLAS, ALICE, CMS and LHCb, will experience an important upgrade too. From the design point of view, the LS2 experimental beam vacuum upgrade requires multi-disciplinary approach: based on the geometrical envelope defined by experiment, the vacuum chambers size and shape must be optimized. This included Monte Carlo pressure profile simulations and vacuum stability studies in order to meet the specific pressure requests in the interaction region. Together with vacuum studies the structural analysis are performed in order to optimise chambers thickness and position of the operational and maintenance supports. The material selection for vacuum chambers in the experimental area follows the CERN ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle. This paper gives an overview of the LS2 experimental vacuum sectors upgrades. The most extensive design studies, done for the two experiments CMS and ALICE are discussed in detail.

  With the discovery of the higgs boson at around 125GeV, a circular higgs factory design with high luminosity (L ~ 1034 cm-2 s-1) is becoming more popular in the accelerator world. The CEPC project in China is one of them. Machine Detector Interface (MDI) is the key research area in electron-positron colliders, especially in CEPC, it is one of the criteria to measure the accelerator and detector design performance. Detector background, collimator and solenoid compensation are the most critical physics problem. Beamstrahlung is the problem which is never gotten into before in the existed electron positron collider of world history. Every kinds of background are bad for detector, and solenoid can make damage to accelerator beam. We will use a Monte Carlo simulation method to calculate and analysis the CEPC detector background and the harm it makes to detector. Anti-solenoid are designed to compensate the strong detector solenoid field of several tesla.

  At present the VEPP-4 storage ring facility provides varied experimental programs including HEP, nuclear physics, synchrotron radiation, polarized electron/positron beam research, etc. Until now, the studies were mainly performed at the beam energy below 2 GeV but a strong interest of experimentalists encourages us to increase the beam energy up to 5 GeV. Reliable and high-performance operation at high energy is a challenge for the machine. Here we discuss the recent experimental results at the low energy, and prospects and constraints of the energy ramp.

  The design of the region close to the interaction point of the FCC-ee experiments is especially challenging. The beams collide at an angle (±15 mrad) in the high-field region of the detector solenoid. Moreover, the very low vertical β* of the machine necessitates that the final focusing quadrupoles have a distance from the IP (L*) of around 2 m and therefore are inside the main detector solenoid. The beams should be screened from the effect of the detector magnetic field, and the emittance blow-up due to vertical dispersion in the interaction region should be minimized, while leaving enough space for detector components. Crosstalk between the two final focus quadrupoles, only about 6 cm apart at the tip, should also be minimized.

THPOR026 Change Management at the International Linear Collider ILC linear-collider, collider, site, controls 3835
 
  • B. List, L. Hagge, N. Walker
    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  The Linear Collider Collaboration has introduced a change management process to ensure that changes to the ILC baseline design are properly reviewed and implemented in an orderly fashion. A change management board oversees the process, establishes the review procedure based on the overall impact of the proposed change, decides, and monitors the implementation. This change management process has become an important factor that gives structure and direction to the ongoing design activities around the world. For example, one CR called for a harmonisation of the final focus quadrupole position between the two detector concepts; extensive studies from both experiments were carried out as part of the review process and took almost a year. Another CR by the experiments asked for a vertical shaft access to the interaction hall that required a relocation of the whole accelerator. The change process made sure that the stakeholders were part of the review and decision process from the beginning and contributed to a design change acceptable to all parties involved. The poster will present the change management process and give examples of change requests that have already been processed.

  Diamond particle detectors have been used in the LHC to measure fast particle losses with a nanosecond time resolution. In addition, these detectors were installed in the PS and the SPS. The detectors are mounted close to the extraction septum of the PS (transfer line to SPS) and the SPS (transfer lines TI2 and TI8 to LHC). Mainly, they monitor the losses occurring during the extraction process but the detectors are also able to measure turn-by-turn losses in the accelerators. In addition, detailed studies concerning losses due to ghost bunches were performed. This paper will describe the installed diamond detector setup, discuss the measurement results and possible loss mitigations.

  The transverse energy spread spectrometer (TESS) is an instrument specially developed at Daresbury Laboratory to measure the intrinsic transverse and longitudinal energy distributions from photocathode materials. Early work on the instrument has focussed on its use for the characterisation of GaAs photocathodes such as those commonly used in DC photoinjectors. More recently work has been conducted to extend the range of materials which can be evaluated using this apparatus, in particular by incorporating a monochromated white light source. New results are presented using the white light source to measure the energy spread of a GaAs photocathode across a range of different wavelengths to evaluate how this changes with excess energy.

  The Electron pulse Stretcher Facility ELSA delivers polarized and non-polarized electrons with an adjustable beam energy of 0.5 - 3.2 GeV to external experimental stations. Extraction currents available range down from 1 nanoampere to several atto-amperes provided by single electron extraction. Especially the high energy physics community requires detector test stations with electron tagging rates between 100 Hz to 100 kHz, imposing particular requirements for stable minimum-current extraction from the storage ring. These requirements are met with the implementation of a low-injection mode for the booster synchrotron and photomultiplier-based stored current monitoring, providing feedback for a selectable limit of the injected current. A homogeneous extraction current with duty factor > 80% is routinely granted by the excitation of a 3rd integer optical resonance. The setup of the low-current injection system and measurements of the extraction properties at the preliminary detector test beamline are presented.

THPOY002 The New External Beamline for Detector Tests at ELSA simulation, quadrupole, radiation, electron 4088

    ELSA, Bonn, Germany
 
  At the electron accelerator ELSA, a new external beam line has been constructed whose task is to provide a primary electron beam for detector tests. Using a slow resonance extraction method, it is possible to extract a quasi continuous electron beam with a maximum energy of 3.2 GeV to the test area. An external beam current of 100 pA to 1 fA can be realized. A further reduction of the beam current is envisaged as well. The beam width can be changed in both transverse directions from 1 mm to 8 mm. To dump and simultaneously measure the current of the electron beam behind the detector components a Faraday cup consisting of depleted uanium is used. The residual radiation leaving the cup is absorbed in a concrete casing. The radiation protection concept for the entire area of the new beamline was designed with the help of the Monte Carlo simulation program Fluka. In addition to the concrete casing, radiation protection walls were built to allow a safe working environment in the neighboring control room.

  A data analysis framework has been developed to perform systematic queries and automatic analysis of the large amount of data produced by the LHC beam loss monitoring system. The framework is used to provide continuous system supervision and can give advance warning of any potential system failures. It is also used to facilitate LHC beam loss analysis for determining the critical beam-abort threshold values. This paper describes the functionality of the framework and the results achieved from the analysis.

  HES (Hard X-ray EndStation)-2 beamline is located at the hard X-ray experimental hall at PAL-XFEL. The main objective of HES-2 beamline is to deliver a hard X-ray FEL beam to target materials in such a manner that a coherent diffraction study is possible. This endstation is supposed to provide brilliant hard x-rays and to measure the diffraction patterns with forward scattering geometry. In particular, the instruments are designed for serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography (SFX) and coherent diffraction imaging (CDI). In this poster, we introduce HES-2 beamline at PAL-XFEL in terms of two perspectives: beamline instrumentation and sample environment. In the instrumentation part, the current status of HES-2 beamline is described in details. This includes beamline layout, x-ray optics, beam diagnositics and the upcoming commissioning plan for HES-2 beamline. In the sample environment part, we aim to present scientific goals based on the sample environments for CXI and SFX respectively. Finally, we discuss the feasible demo-experiments, which is expected to be done in 2016.
