MOPAB065 | Breit-Wheeler Scattering Events Produced by Two Interacting Compton Sources | photon, scattering, electron, laser | 261 |
|
|||
We present the dimensioning of a photon-photon collider based on conventional Compton gamma sources for the observation of Breit-Wheeler pair production and QED gamma-gamma generation. Two symmetric electron beams, generated by photocathodes and accelerated in linacs, produce two primary gamma rays through Compton back-scattering with two high-energy lasers. Tuning the system energy above the Breit-Wheeler cross section threshold, a flux of secondary electrons and positrons is generated. The process is analyzed by start-to-end simulations. The Monte Carlo code 'Rate Of Scattering Events' (ROSE) has been developed ad hoc for the counting of the QED events. Realistic numbers of the secondary particles yield, referring to existing or approved set-ups, a discussion of the feasibility of the experiment and the evaluation of the background are presented. | |||

MOPAB098 | Coronagraph Based Beam Halo Monitor Development for BERLinPro | electron, dipole, linac, scattering | 355 |
|
|||
For linac based high power electron machines, beam halo induced by nonlinear space charge force and scattering of trapped ions is one of the critical issues on a machine protection system. It causes additional radiation which can be a heat source on a cryogenic system as a result of uncontrolled beam losses. During the last decades, several instruments have been newly developed for measuring the beam halo distribution. The conceptual design and optimization of the coronagraph based halo monitor were performed to measure the beam halo which has ~ 10-3 contrast to the beam core. | |||

MOPAB112 | Schottky Based Intensity Measurements and Errors Due to Statistical Fluctuations | antiproton, pick-up, instrumentation, diagnostics | 385 |
|
|||
The beam intensities at the Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring ELENA are too low for standard beam current transformers and, thus, are measured with longitudinal Schottky diagnostics. This method is already successfully used at the Antiproton Decelerator since the commissioning of this machine. The fact that Schottky noise is a statistical phenomenon implies statistical errors of these measurements. Simple analytical formulas describing the statistical error to be expected as a function of the frequency spread of the band considered, the time resolution chosen and the background noise have been derived. On the one hand, low revolution harmonics and, in turn, frequency spread of the band analysed lead to large measurement errors as this situation corresponds to low momentum resolution of the resulting distribution describing the beam. At very large revolution harmonics and, thus, frequency spreads of the band analysed, the measurement error increases again due to additional contributions from the background noise. | |||

MOPAB128 | The Design of a Non-Destructive Single-Shot Longitudinal Bunch Profile Monitor using Smith-Purcell Radiation | radiation, detector, polarization, experiment | 433 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by the: the STFC UK, the Leverhulme Trust, the JAI (University of Oxford) and the Photon and Quantum Basic Research Coordinated Development (Japan). The conceptual design for a single-shot longitudinal bunch profile monitor using coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (cSPr) has recently been completed. The exploitation of the directionality and the polarization of cSPr to reduce the length of the monitor and to eliminate background radiation are discussed. The linear polarization of cSPr will be used to separate the signal from background radiation and experiments to test this design will be presented. Alongside the conceptual design an investigation to optimize the number of detection channels needed to produce high quality longitudinal bunch profile reconstructions has been carried out. It has been determined that the number of detection channels can be reduced compared to previous experiments if measurement uncertainty and background radiation are minimized effectively. |

MOPIK091 | Development of Real-Time Charge Integrator for the Irradiation Dose Measurement | real-time, target, Ethernet, controls | 739 |
|
|||
Funding: This work has been supported through KOMAC (KOREA of Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex) operation fund of KAERI by MSIP (Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning). KOMAC (Korea of Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex, Gyeongju, Korea) has several kinds of facilities using proton beam or ion beam. The KOMAC has provided beam service to user group since 2013. For effective beam service, it is important that irradiation dose at a target should be supplied as much as user requires. To control the irradiation dose of target, a multi-channels charge integrator, Faraday cups, and a beam shutter are used. The amount of irradiation dose is calculated in real time by accumulative charge, which is represented to integration of induced current at each Faraday cup for the target. If the measurements reach to the set value (desired dose), the beam is automatically blocked by beam shutter. Thus, precise measurement of accumulative charge is required. For out purpose, two kinds of real-time charge integrators were implemented with different measuring ranges. In order to verify performance of the integrators, each device's linearity was evaluated after measuring accumulative charge corresponding to dc current. And their measurable range was determined. |

MOPVA041 | Vertical Test Results on ESS Medium and High Beta Elliptical Cavity Prototypes Equipped with Helium Tank | cavity, linac, radiation, cryomodule | 948 |
|
|||
The ESS elliptical superconducting Linac consists of two types of 704.42 MHz cavities, medium and high beta, to accelerate the beam from 216 MeV (spoke cavity Linac) up to the final energy at 2 GeV. The last Linac optimization, called Optimus+, has been carried out taking into account the limitations of SRF cavity performance (field emission). The medium and high-beta parts of the Linac are composed of 36 and 84 elliptical cavities, with geometrical beta values of 0.67 and 0.86 respectively. This work presents the latest vertical test results on ESS medium and high beta elliptical cavity prototypes equipped with helium tank. We describe the cavity preparation procedure from buffer chemical polishing to vertical test. | |||

TUOAB2 | First Observation of the LHC Beam Halo Using a Synchrotron Radiation Coronagraph | simulation, synchrotron, radiation, photon | 1244 |
|
|||
A test coronagraph for the observation of beam halo has been installed in the Synchrotron radiation monitor line LHCB2 in 2015. This coronagraph is commissioned with LHC operation at 450GeV (injection energy). After some optical testing of the coronagraph with visible Synchrotron radiation in B2, we try to observe artificially-made beam halo. The beam halo of 10-3 order of magnitude against the beam core is excited by the kicker of the transverse damper. We have succeeded to observe a diffraction noise free image of beam halo. The effect of beam collimator is also observed. Reduction of beam halo intensity was found nicely proportional to the simultaneously-recorded beam loss. | |||

TUPIK023 | Gas-filled Capillaries for Plasma-Based Accelerators | plasma, acceleration, electron, laser | 1731 |
|
|||
Plasma Wakefield Accelerators are based on the excitation of large amplitude plasma waves excited by either a laser or a particle driver beam. The amplitude of the waves, as well as their spatial dimensions and the consequent accelerating gradient depend strongly on the background electron density along the path of the accelerated particles. The process needs stable and reliable plasma sources, whose density profile must be controlled and properly engineered to ensure the appropriate accelerating mechanism. Plasma confinement inside gas filled capillaries have been studied in the past since this technique allows to control the evolution of the plasma, ensuring a stable and repeatable plasma density distribution during the interaction with the drivers. Moreover, in a gas filled capillary plasma can be pre-ionized by a current discharge to avoid ionization losses. Different capillary geometries have been studied to allow the proper temporal and spatial evolution of the plasma along the acceleration length. Results of this analysis obtained by varying the length and the number of gas inlets will be presented. | |||

TUPIK075 | ATF2 Beam Halo Collimation System Background and Wakefield Measurements in the 2016 Runs | collimation, wakefield, simulation, photon | 1864 |
|
|||
A single vertical beam halo collimation system has been installed in ATF2 in March 2016 to reduce the background in the IP and Post-IP region. In this paper, we present the results of an experimental program carried out during 2016 in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the vertical collimation system and measure the wakefields induced by such a system. Furthermore, a comparison of the measurements of the collimation system wakefield impact with CST PS numerical simulations and analytical calculations is also presented. | |||

TUPVA032 | Beam-Gas Background Observations at LHC | experiment, detector, simulation, luminosity | 2129 |
|
|||
Observations of beam-induced background at LHC during 2015 and 2016 are presented in this paper. The four LHC experiments use the non-colliding bunches present in the physics-filling pattern of the accelerator to trigger on beam-gas interactions. During luminosity production the LHC experiments record the beam-gas interactions using dedicated background monitors. These data are sent to the LHC control system and are used to monitor the background levels at the experiments during accelerator operation. This is a very important measurement, since poor beam-induced background conditions can seriously affect the performance of the detectors. A summary of the evolution of the background levels during 2015 and 2016 is given in these proceedings. | |||

WEPAB022 | Background-free Harmonic Production in XFELs via a Reverse Undulator Taper | undulator, FEL, radiation, electron | 2618 |
|
|||
Nonlinear harmonics in X-ray FELs can be parasitically produced as soon as FEL reaches saturation, or can be radiated in dedicated afterburners. In both cases there is a strong background at the fundamental, since it is much stronger than harmonics. One can get around this problem by application of the recently proposed reverse undulator tapering. In this contribution we present numerical simulations of harmonic production in such a configuration as well as recent results from FLASH where the second and the third harmonics were efficiently generated with a low background at the fundamental. We also present the results for a high-contrast operation when the afterburner is tuned to the fundamental. | |||

WEPIK004 | Luminosity- and Beam- Induced Backgrounds for the FCC-ee Interaction Region Design | detector, photon, luminosity, interaction-region | 2914 |
|
|||
A preliminary study on machine induced backgrounds has been performed for the proposed FCC-ee interaction region (IR) and proto-detector. Synchrotron radiation has the strongest impact on the present design of the IR and both radiation from dipoles and quadrupoles have been taken into account. The effect of luminosity backgrounds like gamma gamma to hadrons and pair production have also been studied. The impact of background particles on the detector occupancy has also been studied in full simulation. | |||

WEPIK009 | Collimators for SuperKEKB Main Ring | impedance, factory, positron, HOM | 2929 |
|
|||
SuperKEKB, which is an upgrade project of KEKB, is an electron-positron collider with extremely high luminosity. Collimators (movable masks) for SuperKEKB have been designed to fit an antechamber scheme of the vacuum system and will be operated to improve backgrounds in the particle detector named Belle II. We are developing two types of collimators; a horizontal and vertical collimator. The collimator has a pair of horizontally or vertically opposed movable jaws with RF fingers. Each jaw travels independently through 5-25 mm horizontally or 2-12 mm vertically in a distance between the beam axis and the tip of the jaw. SuperKEKB will operate with high currents of short bunch lengths, therefore it is important to estimate and decrease the impedance of the collimators. Two horizontal collimators were already installed in the positron ring and operated during Phase-1 commissioning for approximately 5 months, from February to June 2016. In this presentation, the latest design, and the results in the Phase-1 commissioning are presented. | |||

WEPIK119 | Lost Muon Study for the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab | storage-ring, positron, quadrupole, experiment | 3230 |
|
|||
The Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment has a goal of measuring the muon anomalous magnetic moment to a precision of 140 ppb - a fourfold improvement over the 540 ppb precision obtained by the BNL Muon g-2 Experiment. Some muons in the storage ring will interact with material and undergo bremsstrahlung, emitting radiation and loosing energy. These so called lost muons will curl in towards the center of the ring and be lost, but some of them will be detected by the calorimeters. A systematic error will arise if the lost muons have a different average spin phase than the stored muons. Algorithms are being developed to estimate the relative number of lost muons, so as to optimize the stored muon beam. This study presents initial testing of algorithms that can be used to estimate the lost muons by using either double or triple detection coincidences in the calorimeters. | |||

THPVA113 | Inverse Problem-Based Magnetic Characterization of Weekly Magnetic Alloys | dipole, radiation, luminosity, collider | 4722 |
|
|||
Understanding the magnetic properties of materials used in accelerator components is becoming more and more important. For example, in the upcoming LHC upgrade at CERN, the increasing luminosity will boost the radiation dose received by the accelerator magnet's coil and consequently decrease its lifespan. Hence, a radiation shield with relative permeability less than 1.005 is required. The goal of this research is to design and validate a new method for characterizing weekly magnetic materials, suitable to be used in quality control of series production. The proposed method is based on inverse analysis approach coupled with a finite-element model. A material with unknown permeability is inserted in the air gap of a dipole magnet and the consequent perturbations of the dipole background flux density are measured. The magnetic permeability is then identified through gray-box inverse modelling, based on a finite-element approach. The results have been used to predict the magnetic impact of the radiation shield and develop further research on this subject. | |||
