	Funding: Work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the US DOE. Two normal conducting cavities operating at 704 MHz and 2.1 GHz will be used for the Low Energy RHIC electron Cooling (LEReC) under development at BNL to improve RHIC luminosity for heavy ion beam energies below 10 GeV/nucleon. The single cell 704 MHz cavity and the 3-cell 2.1 GHz third harmonic cavity will be used in LEReC to correct the energy spread introduced in the SRF cavity. The successful operation of normal RF cavities has to satisfy both RF and mechanical requirements. 3-D coupled RF-thermal-structural analysis has been performed on the cavities to confirm the structural stability and to minimize the frequency shift resulting from thermal and structural expansion. In this paper, we will present an overview of the mechanical design, results from the RF-thermal-mechanical analysis, progress on the fabrication and schedule for the normal conducting RF cavities for LEReC.

	C. Serrano, L.R. Doolittle LBNL, Berkeley, California, USA D.S. Driver, B. Patel, A.F. Queiruga, Z. Zaky UCB, Berkeley, USA Q. Llimona UPF, Barcelona, Spain
	Funding: Work supported by U.S. Department of Energy During the design, commissioning and operation of a linac-driven Free Electron Laser (FEL) it is important to have a good understanding of the implications of accelerator design choices on beam figures of merit. This simulation engine combines a full state-space model of the RF system (High-Power Amplifier, RF cavities, LLRF controllers, etc.), a characterization of beam properties such as energy, bunch length and arrival time as electrons propagate through the Linac and beam-based feedback. The combination of these models with the ability to introduce both correlated and uncorrelated noise sources at any point of the machine, allows for a complete transposition of noise sources to beam performance parameters, including frequency dependence, in order to analyze implications of accelerator design choices in a simulation environment.

	During the commissioning of the synchrotron-based MedAustron accelerator facility, the analysis and interpretation of data of various sources was required. A dedicated framework was developed to analyze the raw data provided by the accelerator control system (ACS). A tested and documented software core with a simple and standardized interface allows also non-programming professionals to easily base their applications on this framework which is essential to efficiently make progress in the dynamic environment of commissioning. This document presents the structure of the framework, the interface between the software core and higher level applications and gives an example using all framework levels.

WEPOY039	GIOTTO: A Genetic Code for Demanding Beam-dynamics Optimizations	electron, space-charge, gun, interface	3073
	A. Bacci Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Milano, Italy V. Petrillo Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Milano, Italy M. Rossetti Conti Universita' degli Studi di Milano & INFN, Milano, Italy
	GIOTTO is a software based on a Genetic Algorithm (GA). Its development started in 2007 with a work published on NIMB (263, 2007, 488-496) and presented at PAC07 (THPAN031). When the parameters, defining an acceleration machine beam line, are strongly correlated in nonlinear way, the GAs are a powerful tool to coup with these difficulties. These conditions are typically generated by space-charge, as in the high brightness e-beam photo-injectors or when the Velocity Bunching compression technique (VB) is used. The power of GIOTTO is the adaptability to different cases, given by its own structure that permits to drive different external codes in series, the possibility to define a user dependent multi objective fitness function and function constraints on the beam dynamics, as well as the possibility to turn off the genetic optimization to perform statistical analysis (machine jitters). Up today it has been used in Thomson/Compton sources, ultra-short e-bunches generation by VB, focusing channel and dog-leg lines optimizations.

WEPOY060	YACS - Progression Towards Isoparametric 2.5D Finite Elements	cavity, synchrotron-radiation, radiation, experiment	3135
	B.D. Isbarn, B. Riemann, M. Sommer, T. Weis DELTA, Dortmund, Germany
	Funding: Work supported by the BMBF under contract no. 05K13PEB. YACS is a 2.5D finite element method solver capable of solving for the full 3D eigenfrequency spectra of resonant axisymmetric structures while reducing the computational problem to a 2D rotation plane. Prior studies and benchmarks, comparing YACS to well known commercial 3D and 2D applications, already demonstrated its capabilities of performing fast optimizations of geometries, due to its minimal computational overhead. However, because of the first order elements and basis functions used for approximation of the domain and field, this solving speed advantage vastly diminishes when targeting higher accuracies. In order to circumvent these issues, YACS was upgraded to support arbitrary order basis functions and curved meshes, leading to, but not limited to, isoparametric finite elements. This led to distinct performance and convergence improvements, especially when considering curved geometries, ideally representable by a polynomial mapping, e.g. when choosing a cavity geometry parametrization based on splines.

THPOY051	Upgrades to the SPEAR3 Single-Photon Bunch Measurement System	timing, controls, EPICS, interface	4223
	T.M. Cope, S. Allison, W.J. Corbett, Y.H. Xu SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
	The SPEAR3 accelerator uses a Single Photon Time-Correlated Counting (TCSPC) system to accurately measure the time profile of electron bunches circulating in the storage ring. The detection hardware uses the PicoHarp 300 TCSPC processor module initially equipped with an available Hamamatsu H7360-01 photon counting head. The H7360-01 was later replaced with a PicoQuant Hybrid-06 PMA to decrease single-photon arrival time jitter. At the same time we adopted an EPICS-based TCSPC software package developed at DIAMOND for robust data acquisition and display. In this paper we report on recent beam profile measurements and upgrades to the data acquisition software system including installation of a local EPICS IOC for real-time access to the bunch profile from SLAC's centralized Accelerator Control Room (ACR). High-level operator interface and monitoring applications developed in Python are discussed.

It is foreseen that the ESS will begin to deliver beam on target by mid 2019, something which is urging a well structured and thought through plan both for commissioning and operations. In this paper we will discuss the plans for beam physics operational software, priorities and software services needed during the different stages of beam commissioning.

YACS is a 2.5D finite element method solver capable of solving for the full 3D eigenfrequency spectra of resonant axisymmetric structures while reducing the computational problem to a 2D rotation plane. Prior studies and benchmarks, comparing YACS to well known commercial 3D and 2D applications, already demonstrated its capabilities of performing fast optimizations of geometries, due to its minimal computational overhead. However, because of the first order elements and basis functions used for approximation of the domain and field, this solving speed advantage vastly diminishes when targeting higher accuracies. In order to circumvent these issues, YACS was upgraded to support arbitrary order basis functions and curved meshes, leading to, but not limited to, isoparametric finite elements. This led to distinct performance and convergence improvements, especially when considering curved geometries, ideally representable by a polynomial mapping, e.g. when choosing a cavity geometry parametrization based on splines.

Quench detection system is a key component of the quench protection system for superconducting magnets. According to operating experience of the quench protec-tion system for BEPCII interaction region superconduct-ing magnets and study in depth on the development process of System-on-Chip, we are establishing a set of digital quench detection system with high integration density and favourable portability by integrating IP cores, custom modules and developing embedded soft-ware on one piece of FPGA chip (Cyclone V SX SoC). The main components of this system are: 1.Hard proces-sor system based-on ARM Cortex-A9 architecture inte-grated with embedded operating system (Linux).2.Floating point DSP based-on soft IP core.3.Function Module Portion designed for different functions such as communicating with front end ADC, timing control, etc. This paper introduces the research progress of the system.

The SPEAR3 accelerator uses a Single Photon Time-Correlated Counting (TCSPC) system to accurately measure the time profile of electron bunches circulating in the storage ring. The detection hardware uses the PicoHarp 300 TCSPC processor module initially equipped with an available Hamamatsu H7360-01 photon counting head. The H7360-01 was later replaced with a PicoQuant Hybrid-06 PMA to decrease single-photon arrival time jitter. At the same time we adopted an EPICS-based TCSPC software package developed at DIAMOND for robust data acquisition and display. In this paper we report on recent beam profile measurements and upgrades to the data acquisition software system including installation of a local EPICS IOC for real-time access to the bunch profile from SLAC's centralized Accelerator Control Room (ACR). High-level operator interface and monitoring applications developed in Python are discussed.
