Recently, a new setup for measuring the beam energy spread has been commissioned at the ANKA storage ring at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. This setup is based on a fast-gated intensified camera and detects the horizontal profiles of individual bunches in a multi-bunch environment on a single-turn base. As the radiation source point is located in a dispersive section of the storage ring, this allows time-resolved studies of the energy spread. These studies are of particular interest in the framework of short-bunch beam dynamics and the characterization of instabilities. The system is fully synchronized to other beam diagnostics devices allocated in various places along the storage ring, such as the single-shot electro-optical spectral decoding setup or the turn-by-turn terahertz detection systems. Here we discuss the results of the synchronous measurements with the various systems with special emphasis on the energy spread studies.

The upgrade of the BESSY II storage ring to BESSY VSR* demands additional beam diagnostics for machine commissioning and development. Especially bunch resolved measurements are needed. Currently, transverse beam size measurements are done with X-ray pinhole monitor systems, which cannot provide bunch resolved information. Alternative methods to measure the transverse beam size using synchrotron radiation in the visible spectrum are interferometric techniques, which could also be upgraded to bunch resolved systems. For that purpose a double slit interferometer has been constructed. Commissioning of the system has started and experimental results are discussed and compared with the existing pinhole system.

MOPAB041 Quadrupole Scan Measurements in the Beam Transport Line between DESY II and PETRA III emittance, quadrupole, focusing, beam-transport 174

  PETRA III is a 6 GeV third generation synchrotron light source in Hamburg, Germany. The storage ring is operated with a typical beam current of 100 mA and is running in top-up mode. The beam delivered to PETRA III is accelerated by a fast cycling booster synchrotron (DESY II), extracted in a 203 m long beam transport line (E-Weg) and injected afterwards into PETRA III. In the framework of PETRA IV upgrade scenarios the potential for decreasing the extracted emittance from DESY II has been investigated which can be achieved by lowering the extraction energy to 5 GeV and increasing the focusing in DESY II. In addition measuring the emittance of the extracted beam from DESY II and the optics in the beam transport line can help to better understand and improve the injection efficiency of PETRA III. By changing the quadrupole strength and measuring the beam size downstream on a screen monitor in the E-Weg the emittance of DESY II and the Twiss functions at the quadrupole in the E-Weg have been determined. Measurements at different energies and tunes of DESY II will be shown and compared with calculations.

  Synchrotron radiation interferometry is widely used at modern 3rd generation light sources in order to measure transverse electron beam sizes. The technique is based on probing of the spatial coherency of synchrotron radiation in the visible spectral region. The light source PETRA III at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) is using this type of interferometer since several years in order to resolve vertical emittances of about 10 pm.rad. In order to overcome some inherent disadvantages in this setup, a new optical diagnostics beamline was recently commissioned with a two-dimensional interferometer, thus allowing to measure beam sizes in both transverse planes simultaneously. This contribution summarizes the status of the interferometer with first operational experience and describes systematical studies concerning the stability and possibilities to increase the sensitivity on small beam sizes using an intensity imbalance technique.

MOPAB054 Development and Application of Rogowski Coils as Beam Position Monitors simulation, dipole, storage-ring, instrumentation 223
 
  • F. Trinkel, H. Soltner
    FZJ, Jülich, Germany
 
  We have developed segmented Rogowski coils as a beam position monitors at the storage ring COSY Jülich as an alternative to the conventional monitors installed there. These coils feature a torus with two or four segments, each densely covered with an insulating copper wire of 150μm in diameter. The bunched particle beam induces voltages in these segments, which are combined and analysed to yield information about beam displacements in the horizontal and the vertical plane. We highlight our theoretical understanding of position determination of these coils together with corresponding numerical simulations. The integration of such a beam position monitor with COSY and first results with it for a bunched deuteron beam are described. The ultimate goal of this development is a better control of the beam orbit for the very demanding requirements in a future ring dedicated to the measurement of Electric Dipole Moments (EDMs) of charged particles.

  The test facility and synchrotron radiation source ANKA at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe, Germany, can be operated in a short-bunch mode. Above a threshold current, the high charge density leads to microwave instabilities and the formation of sub-structures. These time-varying sub-structures on bunches of picosecond duration lead to the observation of bursting coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. The spectral information in this range contains valuable information about the bunch length, shape and sub-structures. We present recent measurements of a spectrometer setup that consists of 4 ultra-fast THz detectors, sensitive in different frequency bands, combined with the KAPTURE readout system developed at KIT for studies requiring high data throughput. This setup allows to record continuously the spectral information on a bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn basis. This contribution describes the potential of time-resolved spectral measurements of the short-bunch beam dynamics.

MOPAB070 Beam Position Measurement During Multi-Turn Painting Injection at the J-PARC RCS injection, linac, operation, proton 277

  Multi-turn painting injection scheme is important for high intensity proton accelerators. At the J-PARC RCS, a transverse painting scheme was adapted by adding vertical painting magnets to the beam transport line before the injection point, with horizontal painting being performed by a set of dedicated pulse magnets in the ring. To establish a transverse painting condition, it is usual to base on the pulse magnet current pattern. However, it is more desirable to directly measure the beam orbit time variation for evaluation. A linac beam was chopped to match the ring RF bucket. We thought that it would be difficult to measure the position for each pulse; however, the average position could be extracted by introducing a particular device. For the beam injected into the ring, because the linac RF frequency component was diminished due to debunching quickly, one could determine its position in the beginning of the injection period. However, due to rebunching effect the position determination becomes difficult. This problem needs to be resolved.

  A tune measurement system based on FPGA development board is developed at HLS II. The FPGA development board based on Zynq SOC, have ADC and DAC on board. The FPGA can provide two kinds of signal for exciting the beam: parametric frequency sweep signal and bandwidth limited white noise signal. The FFT algorithms and calculation of tune are running in the ARM CPU. In order to compare performance with the original system which is based on spectrum analyzer, we did experiments with new system based FPGA and original system respectively. The experiments on HLSII storage ring show that the tune measuring accuracy have reached 0.0006 / 0.0001 in horizontal and vertical direction based on sweep frequency of FPGA-based system.

  The High Energy Photon Source(HEPS), a third generation light source with the energy of 6 GeV, is under constructed at IHEP. It has an ultralow emittance (~50pm.rad) and small beam size, thus the requirement of BPM in precision and resolution is quite high. Independent supports with high degree of mechanical and thermal stability will be employed for some special BPMs, such as the BPMs near the insert devices. The supports should have high eigen-frequencies to minimize the amplification of vibration from the ground. Vibrations information of the ground around the supports also need be estimated, with which FEA (finite element analysis) had be utilized to simulate the performance of the supports. Measurements of vibrational stability of the prototype supports have be done and compared with the simulation.

  The Synchrotron Radiation Monitor (SRM) system has been designed and constructed at the Shanghai synchrotron radiation Facility (SSRF) for several years and runs good. However, the monitor extraction mirror deformation is quite common at different facilities, and other reflecting mirrors in the optic path also have surface error and angle error. As we decide to upgrade the SR monitor system at SSRF, this issue is also one of the most import thing what we should overcome. In order to verify the feasibility and evaluate the accuracy, simulations based on SRW code have been done. In this simulation, a dedicated algorithm was developed to reconstruct wavefront. The result and the algorithm is very useful for our experiment and upgrade program. In this paper, the algorithm and the experiments based on Shark-Hartmann wavefront sensor will be presented detailed.

  A fast beam size diagnostic system is developing at SSRF (Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility) storage ring for turn-by-turn and bunch-by-bunch beam trans-verse oscillation study and fast transverse feedback sys-tem improvement. The system is based on visible synchrotron radiation diagnostic, detected by a Hamamatsu H10515B 16-channel photomultiplier array with 0.6ns rise time. A telescope imaging system is also developing for optical front-end process, with simulation optical path calibra-tion and high-resolution CCD camera reference. A fast pick-up board and amplifiers are designed for analogue signal optimization. The data acquisition and analyse solution is Tektronix oscilloscope with 6GHz analogue bandwidth and 25GS/s sampling rate or four synchronized ADQ14 digitizers with 700MHz analogue bandwidth and 1GS/s sampling rate. By now, we have finished the detector selection, sys-tem setup, data acquisition design and system response testing. The telescope imaging testing and 16-channels data acquisition based on synchronized ADQ14s are under development. A new photomultiplier array with less response time is in plan for strictly bunch-by-bunch diagnostic.

  The CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) is a crucial component of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) injector complex. The PS role is to provide beams of high brightness and with the required time structure. In this paper, we present the results of bunch-by-bunch tune measurements by using turn-by-turn transverse beam position monitors (BPMs). The data from different BPMs are combined together to allow fast and accurate tune measurements for each bunch. The obtained results are compared with the present PS tune-meter system and the specific advantages and limits of this technique are commented and exemplified.

MOPAB132 Beam Size Measurement Using High Aspect Ratio LIGA Apertures in an X-Ray Pinhole Camera electron, radiation, status, emittance 445
 
  • L.M. Bobb, G. Rehm
    DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
 
  For optimal brilliance third generation light sources operate at a low emittance and low coupling. Commonly, transverse beam profile measurements are provided by direct imaging of the electron beam using X-ray pinhole cameras. From these beam size measurements and given knowledge of the lattice parameters the emittance, coupling and energy spread are calculated. Ideally, the pinhole aperture should be formed in an infinitely thin screen. However, due to the penetration of X-rays in the keV spectral range, stacked tungsten blades are often used to form the pinhole aperture. In this arrangement the absolute size of the pinhole aperture is unknown and cannot be directly measured, which affects the spatial resolution of the imaging system. Here we investigate the use of X-ray Lithography, Electroplating and Moulding (commonly known as LIGA) to fabricate high aspect ratio pinhole apertures in a gold screen of approximately 1 mm thickness.

  Muons, Inc. proposes to develop a Residual-Gas Beam Profile Monitor for Transfer Lines with pulse-to-pulse precision of better than 0.1 mm in position and size that will operate over a wide range of proton beam intensities including those needed for multi-MW beams of future facilities. Traditional solid-based beam intercepting instrumentation produces unallowable levels of radiation at high powers. Our alternative approach is to use a low mass residual-gas profile monitor, where ionization electrons are collected along extended magnetic field lines and the gas composition and pressure in the beam pipe are locally controlled to minimize unwanted radiation and to improve resolution. Beam Induced Fluorescence profile monitor with mirascope light collection is proposed.

Precise measurements of storage ring synchronous phase helps to understand the machine impedance and improve the high current performance. We present different methods tested at NSLS-II, including the streak camera measurement, relative phase measurement from a high sampling frequency oscilloscope by comparing the beam signal and reference signal. Both streak camera and scope method have high precision to measure the synchronous phase (<1ps). Other methods to measure the synchronous phase include the I-Q detection from BPM electronics, FPM scope have been tested as well. We have used these systems to study the synchronous phase shift at different beam current, RF voltages and ID gaps. Recent results will be presented and discussed in the paper.

MOPAB155 Characterization of the Longitudinal Acceptance in a Storage Ring with RF Pinger cavity, dynamic-aperture, storage-ring, damping 497
 
  • G.M. Wang, B. Holub, Y. Li, J. Rose, T.V. Shaftan

  In modern generation light sources, it is desired to have SR performance at high beam current, low horizontal emittance with small coupling, resulting in intense Touschek scattering, which is the dominant limitation of beam lifetime. Touschek scattering strongly depends on momentum aperture. Understanding momentum aperture is extremely important. NSLS II storage ring RF system has the digital ramp control function, enabling rapid change of the cavity phase and amplitude. This makes the possibility to ping the beam in longitudinal phase space and directly measure the longitudinal acceptance, in contrast with traditional indirect way to understand it from other aspect of parameters. In this paper, we present the tool, longitudinal pinger, its application to characterize NSLS II longitudinal acceptance and localize the momentum aperture limit with SR BPMs.

Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI) has been commissioning an additional experimental station, a Beam Test Facility (BTF), to the SLRI accelerator complex. SLRI BTF was constructed to provide electron test beams with energy ranging from 40 MeV up to 1.2 GeV and with tunable electron intensity from a few to millions of electrons per burst. In order to obtain low intensity of test beams, an approach using a metal target together with an energy selector has been employed. A combination of a target chamber installed at the high energy beam transport line and the existing 4-degree bending magnet that is used as an energy selector first produced low intensity test beams. However, the test beam profile was not well determined due to the insufficient bending angle of the energy selector and high primary beam energy. Another approach mounting a target chamber at the low energy beam transport line and using the synchrotron booster as an energy selector was implemented to avoid such problems. Once in operation, the facility will have the potential to service calibration and testing of high energy detectors as well as beam diagnostic instrumentations.

  The 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) aims to deliver 1-MW proton beam to the neutron target and Main Ring synchrotron (MR). Present beam power of RCS is up to 500-kW and the higher radiation doses were concentrated in the injection area. These activations were caused by the interaction between the foil and the beam. To reduce the worker dose near the injection point, we have studied new design of the injection scheme to secure enough space for radiation shielding and bellows. In the new system, two of four injection pulse bump magnets are replaced and we are able to ensure the additional 500 mm space at the injection foil .

  Electron beams traversing a dispersive region, such as a bunch compressor and some transport line can form caustic lines and surfaces corresponding to regions of maximum electron density, which influence the current pulse shape. In this paper, we present a technique to manipulate the longitudinal phase space distribution to achieve an arbitrary, desired current pulse shape. We show how sextupole magnets (and in certain circumstances, octupole magnets), placed within a dispersive region can be used to generate the conditions required for a flexible technique of current pulse shaping that avoids truncation through collimation.

    SOLEIL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France
 
  In the community of synchrotron radiation facilities, multi-bend structure becomes the trend of the storage ring design toward lower emittance. For SOLEIL upgrade project, the 7BA-6BA hybrid structure is one of the current options. This paper puts the focus on the 7BA section. There are many degrees of freedom to tweak and many constraints to follow. Here, the idea is to search and build the linear lattice utilizing Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA), which is efficient dealing with higher dimension optimization problems. Within MOGA, subsidiary matchings are performed to ensure certain criteria when the new generation is bred. Delicate designs and manipulations of the objective functions are needed, in order to have a better convergence without being trapped in a local minimum. The results will be shown and discussed.

  A new program for orbit correction is currently being developed at the electron storage ring DELTA. Based upon the standard approach of utilizing the linear response of a closed orbit to dipole-field-strength variations, proposed features include a live-updated orbit-response-matrix model and the integration of the Closed-Orbit-Bilinear-Exponential-Analysis algorithm (COBEA) to clean measured orbit-response matrices from noise. This work focuses on the current status of development of the aforementioned program. After an assessment of the situation at DELTA, first measurements are shown along with numerical convergence studies.

MOPIK071 Dispersion and Beam Optic Parameter Measurements in the Transport Line (E-Weg) from DESY II to PETRA III emittance, optics, quadrupole, injection 692

  The transport line E-Weg extends from the extraction septum in DESY II to the injection septum in PETRA III, and transports electrons at a beam energy of 6.0 GeV. It consists of 3 parts. The first part is in DESY tunnel, the second part is a long drift space in a slanted tube and the third part is in PETRA III tunnel. The vertical plane difference between the tunnels is 1.28 m. The optics was derived from initial values at Transfer Point (UGP) from a previous optics. The total length of the transfer line is about 203 m. Ten screen monitors are used to estimate the profiles of the beam spot for the optics measurements, while 8 BPMs, mostly adjacent to the screens, are used to compare and control the orbits. Two scrapers are installed on either side of the long drift space to trim the beam dimensions in transverse plane. Two FCTs are used to measure the beam current and transfer efficiency. The transverse dispersion and beta functions are measured by extracting the beam from DESY at different energies and analysing the beam profiles at the screen as well as positions at BPMs. The details of such measurements are reported in this paper.

  In this paper we estimate the tolerances of stray-fields variations on the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), discuss possible sources and propose several solutions. The Beam Delivery System (BDS) is the most sensitive system of CLIC to unwanted magnetic field variations, already variations of 1 nT would reduce the luminosity by 10% at wavelengths comparable to the BDS without considering any correction mechanism. Two sources of magnetic field variations are considered, natural and man-made. Precise magnetic field measurements at Earth's surface under a typical geomagnetic storm are presented. Additionally, stray field measurements have been conducted at CERN, to inspect B-field variations due to technical equipment in an accelerator environment. Different solutions are proposed to minimise the impact of stray fields on the CLIC performance.

  The ISIS facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is a pulsed neutron and muon source for physical and life science research. Up to 3·1013 protons per pulse are accelerated to 800 MeV in the 50 Hz rapid cycling synchrotron that serves two spallation neutron targets. Charge exchange injection of 70 MeV H' ions into the synchrotron takes place over 130 turns. For over 30 years ISIS has used 40×120 mm aluminium oxide stripping foils, produced in-house [1]. Recently, foil preparation and installation processes have been simplified with the use of commercially available 40×60 mm carbon stripping foils. This paper summarises operational experiences with diamond-like-carbon (DLC) and graphene foils. Radiological analysis, atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging of foils and off-line irradiation with a 1.5 keV electron gun are also discussed.

  Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin is developing BESSY VSR, a novel upgrade of the BESSY II facility to provide highly flexible pulse lengths while maintaining the flux and brilliance. The project goal is to simultaneously circulate both standard (some 10 ps long) and short (ps and sub-ps long) pulses offering the BESSY user community picosecond dynamics and high-resolution experiments. The concept relies on the installation of high-voltage SRF cavities operating at the 3rd and 3.5th harmonic whereby the beating of the two frequencies provides RF buckets for long and short bunches. Since these cavities will operate in CW and with high beam current (Ib=300 mA), the cavity design represents a challenging goal. In addition the need to avoid coupled bunch instabilities (CBI's), the installation of the VSR Cryomodule must fit in one of the available 4-m long low beta straights. To address the technological and engineering challenges techniques such as waveguide-damped cavities have been developed. First prototypes have been produced. In this paper, the present SRF developments are presented, including the cavities, high power couplers, higher-order mode absorbers and the cryomodule design.

  Ocular melanoma has been successfully treated worldwide since many years using proton beams. CNAO is the only Italian hadrontherapy facility able to treat tumours with both proton and carbon ion high-energy scanning beams accelerated by a synchrotron; the machine was commissioned in 2011 and more than 1000 patients have been treated so far. With respect to the othercases, , ocular melanoma treatment needed important changes both under the medical physics and machine physics points of view. The main goal of this work is to describe the changes in the machine set up to increase the proton current by a factor of 5, this task representing a sort of recommissioning of the synchrotron.

  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.

  The Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the industrial partner Babcock Noell GmbH (BNG) are col-laborating since 2007 on the development of superconducting undulators both for ANKA and low emittance light sources. The first full length device with 15 mm period length has been successfully tested in the ANKA storage ring for one year*. The next superconducting undulator has 20 mm period length (SCU20) and is also planned to be installed in the accelerator test facility and synchrotron light source ANKA. The SCU20 1.5 m long coils have been characterized in a conduction cooled horizontal test facility developed at KIT IBPT. Here we present the local magnetic field and field integral measurements, as well as their analysis including the expected photon spectrum.

  An FPGA based fast orbit feedback system developed at the Australian Synchrotron aims to improve the stability of the electron beam by reducing the impact of moving insertion devices and targeting orbit perturbations at the mains frequency (50 Hz, 100 Hz and 300 Hz). The feedback system uses a PI controller with harmonic suppressors in parallel to specifically target perturbations at the mains frequency and its harmonics. This report will present the results of the commissioning of the FOFB system demonstrating a reduction in the integrated RMS motion up to 300 Hz by 75% to 90%.

TUPIK043 Upgrade of the Neutron Dose Measurement System at BESSY neutron, radiation, injection, electron 1781

Neutron radiation fields at synchrotron light sources are caused by bremsstrahlung from electron losses in accelerator components. Inside the enclosure and in transversal direction neutron and gamma radiation is of the same order of magnitude but high energy neutrons are much more penetrating. This causes outside the shielding neutron spectra with two broad maxima at about 1 MeV and 100 MeV. Standard Anderson-Braun or Leake neutron monitors measure thermalized neutrons in a proportional counter tube by nuclear reactions which limits the measurement range to neutron energies < 10 MeV. This implies two considerable systematic errors: Pulsed neutron beams causes dead-time losses due to the time structure of injections and the moderators are not sufficient to moderate high energy neutrons down to thermal energies. We determined and fixed these measurement errors by faster preamplifiers and by a more effective moderator developed by us, which expands the measurement range up to several GeV. Examples of the application at BESSY are presented.

During acceleration in SIS18/SIS100 at GSI/FAIR longitudinal beam-oscillations are expected to occur. To reduce emittance blow-up, dedicated LLRF beam feedback systems are planned. To date longitudinal beam oscillations have been damped in machine experiments with a finite-impulse-response (FIR) filter controller with 3 filter taps[1]. An alternative approach implementing the FIR filter as a derivative estimator controller is simulated and tested. This approach shares the same controller topology and can therefore be easily integrated in the system. It exploits the fact that the sampling rate of the feedback hardware is considerably higher than the frequency of the beam oscillations. It is therefore capable of damping oscillations without overshoot within one oscillation period.

  The storage ring which is located in the National Synchrotron Radiation Center SOLARIS works under the TANGO control system. So far the correction of an electron beam orbit has been performed with an algorithm implemented in the Matlab Middle Layer (MML). To ensure consistency of the correction process with the entire control system, a new implementation of this algorithm has been developed. The algorithm of orbit correction based on SVD has been implemented as a TANGO Device, which is one of the fundamental blocks used in the Tango control system. The entire code has been written in the Python.

In previous work it was shown that at high proton-beam energies, synchrotron radiation is an important source of beam-screen heating, of beam-related vacuum pressure increase, and of primary photoelectrons, which can contribute to electron cloud formation. We have used the Synrad3D code developed at Cornell to simulate the photon distributions in the arcs of the LHC, HL-LHC, and FCC-hh. Specifically, for the LHC we studied the effect of the sawtooth chamber. In this paper specific results of the Synrad3D simulations are compared with simulations in Synrad+, developed at CERN; and later on compared with experimental data for actual LHC vacuum-chamber samples.

  The bunch profiles in the LHC are often observed to be non-Gaussian, both at Flat Bottom (FB) and Flat Top (FT) energies. Especially at FT, an evolution of the tail population in time is observed. In this respect, the Monte-Carlo Software for IBS and Radiation effects (SIRE) is used to track different types of beam distributions. The impact of the distribution shape on the evolution of bunch characteristics is studied. The results are compared with observations from the LHC Run 2 data.

TUPVA056 Ionization Loss and Dynamic Vacuum in Heavy Ion Synchrotrons injection, ion, vacuum, heavy-ion 2201
 
  • L.H.J. Bozyk, P.J. Spiller
    GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
 
  Dynamic vacuum effects, induced by charge exchange processes and ion impact driven gas desorption, generate an intensity limitation for high intensity heavy ion synchrotrons. In order to reach ultimate heavy ion intensities, medium charge state heavy ions are used. The cross sections for charge exchange in collisions with residual gas molecules for such beams are much higher, than for highly charged heavy ion beams. Therefore high pumping power is required to obtain a very low static residual gas pressure and to suppress vacuum dynamics during operation. In modern heavy ion synchrotrons different techniques are employed: NEG-coating, cryogenic pumping, and low-desorption ion-catcher. The unique StrahlSim code allows the comparison of different design options for heavy ion synchrotrons. Different aspects of dynamic vacuum limitations are summarized, such as the dependence on different injection parameter. A comparison between a room temperature and a cryogenic synchrotron from the vacuum point of view is given.

TUPVA088 Observing Suppression of Syncrotron Oscillation Amplitudes acceleration, betatron, dipole, cavity 2284
 
  • K. Jimbo
    Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
 
  We proposed a method to reduce loosing particles in acceleration stage of synchrotrons. A slowly varying horizontal electrostatic field may be useful to de-excite synchrotron oscillations. Then we have to somehow observe the damping of amplitudes of synchrotron oscillations to confirm the effect. We assume that the synchrotron component of rationalized Hamiltonian in acceleration stage is kept constant. Our experimental results did not contradict with this assumption. Taking advantage of this assumption, we can easily confirm the damping of synchrotron oscillation amplitudes experimentally through the increase of synchrotron frequencies.

TUPVA093 Radio-Activation Caused by Secondary Particles Due to Nuclear Reactions at the Stripper Foil in the J-PARC RCS injection, proton, operation, beam-losses 2300

  The most important issue in realizing such a MW-class high-power routine beam operation is to keep machine activations within a permissible level, that is, to preserve a better hands-on-maintenance environment. Thus, a large fraction of our effort has been concentrated on reducing and managing beam losses. However the high residual activation is appeared around the stripper foils. It is caused by not primary particles due to the beam losses but secondary particles due to nuclear reaction at the foil. This radio-activation is an intrinsically serious problem for the RCS which adopts the charge exchange multi-turn beam injection scheme with the stripper foil. In this presentation, we report a detail measurement of the residual dose around the stripper foil together with the cause estimated based on simulation studies.

WEXB1 Studies and Observations of Beam Dynamics Near a Sum Resonance resonance, space-charge, emittance, simulation 2503

  The effect of space charge on bunches stored for long term in a can be severe for beam survival. This may be the case in projects as SIS100 at GSI or LIU at CERN. In the past decade systematic simulation studies and experiments performed at CERN and GSI have highlighted the space charge induced periodic crossing of “one dimensional” resonances as the underlying mechanism of long term beam loss or emittance growth. However only in 2012, for the first time, the effect of space charge on a normal third order coupled resonance was investigated at the CERN-PS. The experimental results have highlighted an unprecedented asymmetric beam response where in the horizontal plane the beam exhibits a thick halo, whereas the vertical profile has only core growth. The quest for explaining these results requires a journey thorough the 4 dimensional dynamics of the coupled resonance investigating the fix-lines, and requires a detailed code-experiment benchmarking also including beam profile benchmarking. This study shows that the experimental results of the 2012 PS measurements can be explained by the dynamics the fixed lines also including the effect of the dispersion.

WEOAB1 Hénon-Heiles Single Particle Dynamics at IOTA sextupole, lattice, experiment, electron 2508

  A Hénon-Heiles system is a simple, classical nonlinear Hamiltonian system offering a wide range of particle dynamics from regular orbits to resonant behavior to chaotic trajectories. Initially proposed to describe the motion of stars around a galactic center, it remains a vivid topic in Dynamics and Mathematical Physics since its discovery in 1964. Although the system and its modifications have been extensively studied numerically, its dynamics has never been observed in a controlled experiment. In this report we show that it is possible to create the Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian using sextupoles in a realistic accelerator lattice. We propose a special sextupole channel to create the desired potential at the IOTA ring and study the 3D single particle dynamics by frequency map analysis and Poincare cross-sections. The proposed experiment would allow real world testing of regular and chaotic motion with a controlled strength of the nonlinearity.

WEPAB003 The Danish Synchrotron Radiation Light Source ASTRID2 quadrupole, cavity, dipole, operation 2561
 
  • J.S. Nielsen, N. Hertel, S.P. Møller
    ISA, Aarhus, Denmark
 
  The ASTRID2 synchrotron light source has now been in user operation for more than 3 years, and most of the initially unresolved minor issues have been dealt with. This paper will report on the solutions, and give an over-view of the current status. The problem of the fast injection bumpers, which overheated at high currents, has been solved. The 3rd harmonic Landau cavity has been installed, and it has resulted in a much better lifetime and a more stable beam. We observe vertically unstable beams above a given threshold beam current. Initially this threshold was quite low, but with time, as the vacuum chambers have been conditioned more and more, the threshold has increased steadily, and is now close to the design current of 200 mA. It is planned to add 3 more power supplies to each of the pole-face windings, which are found in all 12 dipoles. These three supplies will in addition to the original quadrupole correctors give a vertical corrector, a horizontal corrector and a skew quadrupole corrector. Furthermore we are presently producing a new timing system, which will allow us to run single-bunch operation, and a fast orbit feedback system.

    SOLEIL, Gif-sur-Yvette, France
 
  The first optimization of the nonlinear beam dynamics of the SOLEIL synchrotron radiation light sources using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm is reported. After benchmarking ELEGANT against TRACY3, beam lifetime studies with the operation lattice and fine-tuning of the storage ring model, MOGA-ELEGANT was used to find the best settings of quadrupole and sextupole magnets in order to maximize the dynamic and momentum apertures used as proxies for the Touschek lifetime and the injection efficiency respectively. The solutions obtained after one month of computation in the high level computational cluster of SOLEIL using 200 CPUs are detailed. The improvement of the Touschek lifetime obtained with MOGA is confirmed by the beam-based experiments. The beam lifetime of the SOLEIL storage ring was increased experimentally by 40% as predicted by the simulations.

BESSY II features sophisticated filling patterns as well as manipulation and separation techniques of custom bunches to serve both timing and photon hungry experiments at the same time*. Recently, the low alpha operation mode, providing bunch lengths as short as 2 ps, was extended by pseudo single bunch options. A robust technique to excite one bunch with constant displacement and enlargement was implemented for pulse picking by resonant excitation (PPRE)** users. In addition, reliable scraping of an isolated bunch to provide zero current bunch length is opening new timing opportunities. The simultaneous usage of different photon characteristics: high intensity CSR, non-bursting CSR, short duration as well as operation mode specific X-rays impose new challenges. Sensitive tune measurements and feedback mechanisms had to be developed for all three dimensions. Negative alpha is in consideration to overcome the top up efficiency constraints.

The short-pulse source at the 1.5-GeV synchrotron light source DELTA, operated by the TU Dortmund University, enables the generation of sub-ps radiation pulses in the VUV regime based on coherent harmonic generation (CHG). As an upgrade, the employment of echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) is planned which allows to produce shorter wavelengths. Recent developments and measurements regarding the twofold energy modulation required for EEHG are presented.

  Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center belonging to Hiroshima University is a user facility of the synchrotron radiation with the wavelength of ultraviolet range for natural science especially including materials and biological sciences. The kely apparatus is an electron storage ring with energy of 700 MeV. This machine is a racetrack shape with large two bending magnets and the injection energy is 150 MeV. It is a very compact size with the circumstance of 30 m, but it has only 2 insertion section and the emittance is much larger than the modern synchrotron radiation sources. Therefore, all of users is eager to upgrade the radiation source with several straight sections and low emittance beam keeping compactness. To meet these requests, we are designing the storage ring based on MAX-III. In this conference, we show the present design of the storage ring and its injector.

WEPAB063 Considerations on Developing a Dedicated Terahertz Light Source Based on the HLS-II Storage Ring radiation, storage-ring, synchrotron-radiation, electron 2716

  There is an increasing interest in generating terahertz radiation for different kinds of researches. A high-power terahertz light source can be realized through coherent synchrotron radiation from a storage ring. The radiation power of coherent synchrotron radiation is proportional to square of the number of electrons in a bunch. To generate coherent synchrotron radiation, the electron bunch length should be shorter than its radiation wavelength. This paper presents our preliminary study on developing a terahertz light source based on Hefei Light Source. We will introduce the status of Hefei Light Source (HLS) and discusses the approach to change it to a dedicated Terahertz light source using coherent synchrotron radiation. Several schemes are proposed to shorten the electron bunch length in the storage ring, including using a low alpha lattice, adopting a magnetic chicane and upgrading the RF system with much higher frequency. The related beam instabilities are also analyzed to predict the beam current threshold.

  The SuperKEKB project is in progress toward the initial physics run in autumn 2018. It assumes the nano-beam scheme, in which the emittance of the colliding beams is 4.6 nm. To achieve such a low emittance, it is vitally important to preserve the emittance during the transport of the beam from the linac to the main ring. One of the most difficult sections is the injection system. Since the dynamic aperture is small for the low emittance, the allowed distances between the stored beam and the injected beam at the injection point are 7.8 mm for the betatron injection and 7.2 mm for the synchrotron injection. The new septum magnets has been constructed and installed in the beam line after the measurement of magnetic flux density and aging test. It has been also checked the septum magnets are capable of design orbit. The initial beam injection succeeded on schedule and they had been operated without any big troubles in the first beam run of Phase-1.

  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. Because of the limitation from the existing tunnel, many equipment including magnets, beam diagnostic instruments, masks, vacuum pumps, and components of the detector must coexist in a very small region. In this paper, some important MDI issues will be reported for the Interaction Region (IR) design, e.g. the final doublet quadrupoles physics design parameters, beam-stay-clear region and beam pipe, synchrotron radiation power and critical energy are also calculated.

CEPC is a circular electron and positron machine designed to study the property of the Higgs boson. The beam energy for CEPC is thus chosen to be 120GeV. At such a high energy, synchrotron radiation has pronounced effect on the beam behavior. In this paper, we will show the synchrotron radiation effect in the CEPC single ring design, namely, the closed orbit, linear optics and dynamic aperture. Analytical analysis will be given trying to explain the phenomenon.

  For studying new physics beyond the Standard Model, Supper proton-proton Collider (SPPC) with a circumfer-ence of 100 km and a centre mass energy of 100 TeV is proposed and under study in China. Due to the high particle energies and 16 T high magnet field, the synchrotron radiation power emitted from the proton beams reaches 48.5 W/m in the bending magnets, two orders of magnitude higher than that of LHC. A novel beam screen is anticipated to screen cold chamber walls from the massive synchrotron radiation power and transfer the heat load to cryogenic cooling fluid. For drastically reducing resistive wall impedance and saving refrigerator power, we have studied high temperature superconductor (HTS) coated beam screen operating in liquid nitrogen temperature area. Singly from the point of temperature, the feasibility of HTS-coated beam screen is demonstrated by steady-state thermal analysis. Two kinds of potential HTS material are also discussed in this paper.

  FCC-ee is a 100 km e+ e collider, which is being designed within the Future Circular Collider Study (FCC) for precision studies and rare decay observations in the range of 90 to 350 GeV center-of- mass energy. The beam lifetime will be limited to less than one hour, because of radiative Bhaba scattering and beamstrahlung. In order to keep the luminosity on the high level of 1035 cm-2s-1 continuous top-up injection is required. Therefore, besides the collider, that will operate at constant energy, a fast cycling booster synchrotron will be installed in the tunnel. The injection energy to the booster synchrotron will be around 6-20 GeV. Such a small energy together with the large bending radius not only creates an ultra-small beam emittance, but also requires very low magnetic fields close to the limit of technical feasibility. This paper will focus on the challenges and requirements for the top-up booster design arising from low magnetic fields and collective instabilities and present the status of the lattice design.

Requirements for the proposed BNL eRHIC Ring-Ring Electron Ion Collider (EIC) are discussed, together with the dependence of luminosity with the beam divergence and forward proton acceptance. Parameters are given for four cases. The first two use no cooling and could represent a first phase of operation. The next two use strong cooling and increased beam currents. In each case parameters are given that 1) meets the requirement for forward proton acceptance, and 2) has somewhat higher divergences giving somewhat higher luminosity.

WEPIK056 Compensation of Transient Beam Loading with Detuned Cavities at BESSY II cavity, operation, experiment, beam-loading 3056
 
  • M. Ruprecht, P. Goslawski, F. Kramer, M. Ries
    HZB, Berlin, Germany
 
  This paper presents operational experience and use cases of cavity operation in the synchrotron light source BESSY II, where an active or passive cavity is detuned by a small fraction of the harmonic number. If the detuning is an integer multiple of the fundamental RF harmonic, the distortion of the longitudinal phase space is periodic with the revolution, which allows for the compensation of fill pattern induced transients. Measurements at BESSY II are presented, where a fundamental cavity is detuned to decrease the effects of transient beam loading. Thus, reducing the phase transient and increasing the beam life time. Calculations depicting the application of this scheme for the future project BESSY VSR[*] are presented.

  A new code for the magnetic design of undulators is under development at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (BESSY). The program reads in the geometry and material properties of the undulator magnets and iron poles. Magnetic fields, forces and torques, as well as trajectories and synchrotron radiation can be calculated. The code is a stand-alone FORTRAN program, thus, only a FORTRAN compiler is needed to install it. Build-in graphic routines allows to write postscript files to visualize the geometry and the fields. Other results like 3D field maps, field integrals etc. are written to ASCII files for later use. The code will be published under the GNU general public license. First results and comparison to other codes are presented.

  At DESY the Synchrotron Light Source PETRA III offers scientists outstanding opportunities for experiments with hard X-rays of exceptionally high brilliance since 2009. Research activities have been started towards a future upgrade scenario of PETRA III which envisions the conversion of the PETRA ring into a ultra-low emittance hard X-ray radiation source: PETRA IV. The lattice design is aiming for a horizontal emittance in the range between 10 pm rad and 30 pm rad at a beam energy of 6 GeV. Two different approaches have been considered for the lattice design: a design based on a hybrid multibend achromat with an interleaved sextupole configuration based on the ESRF design, and a lattice with a non-interleaved sextupole configuration with a special phase space exchange configuration. We are reporting the current status of the design activities including studies related to the injector.

  The paper presents measurements of the longitudinal broadband impedance and beam energy spread of the beam at the VEPP-4M electron-positron collider in an energy range of 1.0 - 3.5 GeV. In order to measure the longitudinal bunch size at various beam currents we used PS-1/S1 streak camera with picosecond temporal resolution. The dependence of bunch length from the bunch current at different energies demonstrates a microwave instability threshold. The bunch lengthening was caused by potential well distortion as well. Potential well distortion lengthening was used to estimate a value of the reactive part of the longitudinal impedance of the vacuum chamber of the collider Observed microwave instability thresholds was used to measure the value of the broadband impedance. The impact of the Touschek effect in the beam energy spread is discussed.

  Graphene has many excellent properties, such as high electron carrier mobility, good thermal conductivity and transparency etc. The secondary electron yield (SEY) of graphene with copper substrate had been studied in National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) of China. The results show that the maximum SEY ('max) of 6~8 layers graphene film with copper substrates is about 1.25. Further studies indicate that many factors can affect the SEY test results. The recent SEY tests of graphene films with copper substrates in Daresbury Laboratory (DL) of UK gave the maximum SEY of as-received copper, graphene samples with copper substrates are 1.89, 1.83, and 1.68, respectively, under the incident charge per unit surface (Q) of 7.6×10-8 C 'mm-2. Meanwhile, the SEY test parameters and measurement results of graphene in both laboratories are compared and analysed. The effect of defects on the SEY results of graphene films with copper substrate is also discussed.

The design of an electron polarization scheme in the Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) aims to attain a high longitudinal electron polarization (over 70%) at collision points as required by the nuclear physics program. Comprehensive strategies for achieving this goal have been considered and developed including injection of highly polarized electrons from CEBAF, mechanisms for manipulation and preservation of the polarization in the JLEIC collider ring and measurement of the electron polarization. In particular, maintaining a sufficiently long polarization lifetime is crucial for accumulation of adequate experimental statistics. The chosen electron polarization configuration, based on the unique figure-8 geometry of the ring, removes the electron spin-tune energy dependence. This significantly simplifies the control of the electron polarization and suppresses the synchrotron sideband resonances. This paper reports recent studies and simulations of the electron polarization dynamics in the JLEIC electron collider ring.

Dielectric Laser Acceleration (DLA) achieves gradients of more than 1GeV/m, which are among the highest in non-plasma accelerators. The long-term goal of the ACHIP collaboration* is to provide relativistic (>1 MeV) electrons by means of a laser driven microchip accelerator. Examples of slightly resonant dielectric structures showing gradients in the range of 70% of the incident laser field (1 GV/m) for electrons with β=0.32 and 200% for β=0.91 are presented. We demonstrate the bunching and acceleration of low energy electrons in dedicated ballistic buncher and velocity matched grating structures. However, the design gradient of 500 MeV/m leads to rapid defocusing. Therefore we present a scheme to bunch the beam in stages, which does not only reduce the energy spread, but also the transverse defocusing. The designs are made with a dedicated homemade 6D particle tracking code.

  SIS100 is a unique heavy ion synchrotron designed for the generation of high intensity heavy ion and Proton beams. New features and solutions are implemented to enable operation with low charge state heavy ions and to minimize ionization beam loss driven by collisions with the residual gas. SIS100 aims for new frontier and world wide leading Uranium bam intensities. A huge effort is taken to stabilized the dynamics of the residual gas pressure and to suppress ion induced desorption. Fast ramped superconducting magnets have been developed and are in production with highest precision in engineering and field quality, matching the requirements from beams with high space charge. A powerful equipment with Rf stations for fast acceleration, pre- and final compression, for the generation of barrier buckets and provision of longitudinal feed-back shall allow a flexible handling of the ion bunches for the matching to various user requirements. Results obtained with FOS (first of series) devices, status of realisation and technical challenges resulting from the demanding goals, will be presented.

  At the GSI facility in Darmstadt, Germany, Barrier Bucket RF systems are currently designed for the SIS 100 synchrotron (part of the future FAIR facility) and the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR). The purpose of these systems is to provide single sine voltage pulses at the cavity gap. Due to the high requirements regarding the gap signal quality, the calculation of the pre-distorted input signal plays a major role in the system development. A procedure to generate the input signal based on the dynamic properties in the linear region of the system has been developed and tested at a prototype system. It was shown that this method is able to generate single sine gap signals of high quality in a wide voltage range. As linearity can only be assumed up to a certain magnitude, nonlinear effects limit the quality of the output signal at very high input levels. An approach to overcome this limit is to extend the input signal calculation to a nonlinear model of the system. In this contribution, the current method to calculate the required input signal is presented and experimental results at a prototype system are shown. Additionally, first results in the nonlinear region are presented.

  Non Evaporable Getter pumps have been used since four decades in various scientific and industrial Ultra High and Extremely Ultra High Vacuum applications. For the majority of applications properties like high pumping speed vs. small size, powerless operation and hydrocarbon cleanliness are main aspects for the usage. In addition to this a growing number of applications nowadays also require particle free systems. In this paper we report on investigations on in-vacuum particle creation during the conditioning and activation process of CapaciTorr pumps.

  A novel synchrotron called an induction synchrotron (IS) was developed at KEK in 2006*. In the IS, charged particles are accelerated by pulse voltages driven by switching modulators employing high-speed semiconductor switches. As the switches are turned on and off by gate signals corresponding to the revolution frequency of the ion bunches, switching frequency reaches up to MHz order. The switching power supply (SPS) that generates bipolar pulses is one of the key technologies for the DA. The rating of SPS is roughly 2.5kV-20A-1MHz. To accomplish these requirements, we adopted 7 series connected Si-MOSFET for the switching devices of the 1st generation SPS. However it was too large and complicated for the future practical accelerator driver. Therefore we started to develop the next generation of SPS utilizing silicon carbide (SiC) devices, since they have inherently excellent properties such as high breakdown electric field high drift velocity, and high thermal conductivity**. In this paper, we describe the pulse switching test results of a prototype SiC-MOSFET and the test results of the prototype SPS.

  The injection bump system of the synchrotron of the Wuwei Heavy-ion Medical Machine(WHMM) consists of four horizontal bump magnets to merge the injection beam with the circulating beam. In order to control the injection beam with sufficient accuracy, the bump mag-nets need four pulsed power supplies with high speed, precision, reliability. The power supplies, whose IBGT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) are working in the linear area, are required to output the maximum current of 2900A. Furthermore, the current pulse is activated by synchronous triggering events, the current pulse frequen-cy is required about 30Hz, and that the pulse current falling edge should be less than 60us. In this paper, a control system for the pulsed power supplies was described in details. The commissioning results showed that the control system owned high reliability and flexible and that beam could be injected effectively into the synchrotron of the WHMM. In addition, one on-line current pulse waveform is shown in the result section.

  The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), a 3-GeV third generation synchrotron light source, was commissioned in 2014 December and is now currently operated in top-up mode at 300mA for users. During the past two years, the machine was completed to meet design goals with among others the installation of superconducting cavities (SRF), the installation of insertion devices (ID) and the correction of vacuum chamber structure downstream from the IDs. The design goal of 500mA beam current was achieved with a total accumulated beam dose of more than 1000Ah, resulting in three orders of magnitude reduction of out-gassing. As the beam current was increased, a few vacuum problems were encountered, including vacuum leaks, unexpected pressure bursts, etc. Vacuum related issues including high pressure events, lessons learned and operational experience will be presented and discussed in this paper.

  A maintenance procedure without baking in situ has been successfully developed and applied to maintain and upgrade the TPS storage ring vacuum system to shorten the machine downtime. The data of photon-stimulated desorption(PSD) reveal that no obvious discrepancy between the in-situ baked and the non-in-situ baked vacuum systems. A beam conditioning dose of extent only 11.8 A·h is required to recover rapidly the dynamic pressure of an unbaked vacuum system to its pre-intervention value according to the TPS maintenance experience.

  The Digital LLRF of ALBA has been implemented using commercial cPCI boards with Virtex-4 FPGA, fast ADCs and fast DACs. The firmware of the FPGA is based on IQ demodulation technique and the main feed-back loops adjust the phase and amplitude of the cavity voltage and also the resonance frequency of the cavity. But the evolution of the market is moving towards uTCA technology and due to the interest of this technology by several labs, we have developed at ALBA a DLLRF using a HW platform based on uTCA commercial boards and Virtex-6 FPGA. The paper will present the development done and will compare it with respect the cPCI one.

The test facility and synchrotron light source ANKA at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) operates in the energy range from 0.5 to 2.5 GeV and can generate brilliant coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the THz range employing a dedicated bunch length-reducing optic at 1.3 GeV beam energy. The high degree of spatial compression leads to complex longitudinal dynamics and to time evolving sub-structures in the longitudinal phase space of the electron bunches. The results of the micro-bunching instability are time-dependent fluctuations and strong bursts in the radiated THz power. To study these fluctuations in the emitted THz radiation simultaneously for each individual bunch in a multi-bunch environment, fast THz detectors are combined with KAPTURE, the dedicated KArlsruhe Pulse Taking and Ultrafast Readout Electronics system, developed at KIT. In this contribution we present measurements conducted to study possible multi-bunch effects on the characteristic bursting behavior of the micro-bunch instability.

Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is an essential issue in modern accelerators. We propose a new method to examine CSR in the time domain using an unstructured Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. The method uses a 2D spatial discretization in the longitudinal and transverse coordinates (Z,X) with a Fourier series decomposition in the transverse coordinate Y and computes the fields modally. Additionally, by alignment of mesh element interfaces along a source reference orbit, DG methods can naturally handle discontinuous or thin sources in the transverse X direction. We present an overview of the method, illustrate it by calculating wake potentials in a model problem, and in a bunch compressor.

Compton scattering of laser photons by a relativistic electron beam produces monoenergetic, tunable and small source size X-rays similar to synchrotron light sources in a very compact setting, due to the shorter undulator period of lasers. These X-ray sources can bring to every hospitals advanced radiology and radiotherapy that are currently only being conducted at synchrotron facilities. Few examples include phase contrast imaging utilizing the micron-scale source size, K-edge subtraction imaging from two monoenergetic X-rays at different energies and radiation therapy using radiosensitization of high-Z nanoparticles. At LLNL, 30 keV X-rays have been generated from the 30 MeV X-band linac, and the X-rays have been characterized and agree with the modeling very well. This source is being used to study the feasibility of aforementioned medical applications. Experimental setup of K-edge subtraction of contrast agents are presented, demonstrating the low-dose, high-contrast imaging potential of the light source. Plans to study enhanced radiotherapy using Gold nanoparticles with the upgrade of the machine to higher energies are discussed.

  Microbunching instability if left alone, threatens to degrade the beam quality of high brightness electron beams in Free Electron Lasers. Recently, caustic formation in electron trajectories was identified as a mechanism describing current modulations in accelerated particle beams. Here we consider CSR-induced microbunching as a caustic phenomenon. This analysis reports on the influence of longitudinal dispersion, R56, on the microbunching process, as well as elucidating the influence of the second and third order longitudinal dispersion values, T566 and U5666.

  The simulation code DELPHI is an analytic Vlasov solver which allows to evaluate the beam transverse stability with respect to impedance effects. It allows to perform fast scans over parameters such as chromaticity, damper gain or beam intensity for a given impedance model and particle distribution. In order to improve the simulation code, new longitudinal particle distributions have been implemented. The simulations results obtained with these distributions are compared to theoretical predictions. An additional post-processing of DELPHI's output has also been implemented, allowing to reconstruct the signal seen by head-tail stripline monitors, in particular in presence of bunch-by-bunch damper. The results are compared to theoretical models, to pyHEADTAIL simulations and to measurements performed in the LHC.

THPAB007 Short Bunches at the Transition From Strong to Weak Longitudinal Instability shielding, simulation, damping, experiment 3696
 
  • P. Kuske
    HZB, Berlin, Germany
 
  The interaction of particles with their vacuum sur-roundings can lead to longitudinal instabilities of the whole bunch of particles. Most of these instabilities are strong and the growth rates are large compared to the damping rate. For a weak instability the opposite is true and with just a resistive impedance the instability would always be weak and independent of the bunch length. The interaction of a bunch with its own radiation emitted midway between parallel plates leads to a strong instabil-ity for long bunches and a transition to weak instability if the bunch length becomes shorter. This regime is ana-lysed numerically with a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck solver. The results are compared to recent observations at ANKA. An attempt is made to explain the remaining discrepan-cies by including higher order terms of the momentum compaction factor into these calculations. There are indi-cations that the simple model needs refinements in order to take radiation from upstream dipoles into account.

  Electron beam with low transverse emittance, short bunch length and high peak current is the basic requirement in modern high-brightness light sources. However, coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) will dilute the transverse emittance when the electron beams pass through a magnetic bunch compressor and degrade the performance of the machine. In this paper, based on our CSR point-kick analysis, arc compressors with high compression factor in the presence of CSR effect are studied, both periodic and aperiodic arcs are included. Through analytical and numerical research, an easy optics design technique is introduced to minimize the emittance dilution within these compressors. Taking practical considerations into account, the results of periodic and aperiodic arcs are compared.

  Transverse and longitudinal dynamics of the electron beam of the Novosibirsk infrared Free Electron Laser is studied. The Novosibirsk FEL is based on the multi-turn energy recovery linac (ERL). The ERL operate in CW mode with an average current about 10 mA. Therefore non-destructive beam diagnostics is preferable. The beam energy at the last track of the ERL is 42 MeV. As a result, significant part of synchrotron radiation from bending magnets is in the visible range. The transverse beam dimensions were measured with the optical diagnostics before and after the undulator applied for generation of middle-infrared coherent radiation. The obtained data is used to calculate the beam energy spread and emittance. The longitudinal beam dynamics was studied with electro-optical dissector.

  Mbtrack is a widely used multi-bunch tracking code, developed at SOLEIL, for modeling the collective instabilities in electron storage rings. It has been applied to the Swiss Light Source upgrade proposal (SLS-2) for the study of single bunch instabilities. However, an n-bunch simulation using mbtrack requires to run n+1 MPI processes. Therefore, a large scale computing cluster may be necessary to perform the simulation. In order to reduce the demands of computing resources for multi-bunch simulations, a CUDA version of mbtrack has been developed, in which the computations of mbtrack are offloaded to a graphics processing unit (GPU). With the mbtrack-cuda variant, multi-bunch simulations can now run in a standalone workstation equipped with an Nvidia graphics card for scientific computing. The implementation and benchmark of the mbtrack-cuda code together with the applications in the study of longitudinal instabilities for SLS-2 will be presented.

  Accelerator Toolbox* (AT) is a particle accelerator modelling tool originally written in MATLAB. It is used at many accelerator facilities, particularly synchrotron light sources, as an on-line model and is also used for off-line beam dynamics studies. For speed of execution, the tracking engine of AT was written in C and compiled for use in MATLAB. The C-based implementation allowed re-use of of the tracking engine compiled against the core Python libraries to create a Python version of AT. For additional purposes of speed, the C interface to the integration routines has been modified allowing equal speeds for both MATLAB and Python interfaces, with an increase in speed relative to the original MATLAB version. This paper describes the adaptation process, including adapting the MATLAB build, creating the Python build and laying the foundations for the additional Python library implementation. Speed benchmarks are included with comparison to other tracking codes Elegant and MADX.

A number of codes are available to simulate longitudinal dynamics in synchrotrons. The most established ones include TIBETAN, LONG1D, ORBIT, and ESME. While they embody a wealth of accumulated wisdom and experience, most of these codes were written decades ago and to some extent they reflect the constraints of their time. As a result, there is interest for updated tools taking better advantage of modern software and hardware capabilities. At Fermilab, the PIP-II project has provided the impetus for development of such a tool. In this contribution, we discuss design decisions and code architecture. A selection of test cases based on an initial prototype are presented.

  Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) potentially limits operation accelerators with high bunch charges and/or short bunch lengths by increasing energy spread, and by Except at the lowest beam energies, the one dimensional treatment of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) originally developed by Saldin is an efficient and reasonably accurate way to simulate the effects of CSR on a particle beam. A possible problem with standard implementations of the 1D CSR formalism is that these implementations assume that the beam centroid is close to the reference trajectory that defines the lattice. In this paper, the one dimensional treatment is extended to take into account beams whose centroid is far from the reference trajectory and an example using the Cornell-BNL Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerator CBETA is given.

Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is an effect of self-interaction of an electron bunch as it traverses a curved path. It can cause a significant emittance degradation, as well as fragmentation and microbunching. Numerical simulations of the 2D/3D CSR effects have been extremely challenging due to computational bottlenecks associated with calculating retarded potentials via integrating over the history of the bunch. We present a new high-performance 2D, particle-in-cell code which uses massively parallel multicore GPU/GPU platforms to alleviate computational bottlenecks. The code formulates the CSR problem from first principles by using the retarded scalar and vector potentials to compute the self-interaction fields. The speedup due to the parallel implementation on GPU/CPU platforms exceeds three oders of magnitude, thereby bringing a previously intractable problem within reach. The accuracy of the code is verified against analytic 1D solutions (rigid bunch) and semi-analytic 2D solutions for the chirped bunch. Finally, we use the new code in conjunction with a genetic algorithm to optimize the design of a fiducial chicane.

  In the scope of FAIR's scientific program higher beam intensities will be achieved and several new synchrotrons (including storage rings) are being built. The low-level RF (LLRF) systems of FAIR have to support multi-harmonic operations, barrier bucket generation and bunch compression in order to meet the desired beam quality requirements. All this imposes several requirements on the LLRF systems. For example the phase error of the gap voltage of a specific RF cavity must be less than 3 degrees. Thus, each individual component must have a better accuracy. The RF reference signals for the FAIR synchrotron RF cavity systems are generated by direct digital synthesis (DDS). Four so-called Group DDS modules are mounted in one crate. In the supply rooms, the reference signals of such a crate are then distributed to local cavity LLRF systems. Therefore, the precise phase calibration of Group DDS modules is of importance. A phase calibration method with respect to the absolute phases of DDS modules defined by means of the FAIR Bunch Phase Timing System (BuTiS) is developed, and its precision is under evaluation.

For sophisticated beam manipulation several ring accelerators at FAIR and GSI like the main synchrotron SIS100 and the ESR will be equipped with barrier bucket systems. Hence, the associated LLRF has to be applicable to different RF systems, with respect to the cavity layout and the power amplifier used, as well as to variable repetition rates and amplitudes. Since already the first barrier bucket pulse of a long sequence has to meet certain minimum demands, an open-loop control on the basis of calibration data is foreseen. Closed-loop control is required to improve the signal quality during a sequence of pulses and to adapt to changing conditions like temperature drifts. A test setup was realized that allows controlling the signal generator, reading out the oscilloscope as well as processing the collected data. Frequency and time domain methods can be implemented to approach the dynamics of the RF system successively and under operating conditions, i.e. generating single sine pulses. The setup and first results from measurements are presented as a step towards automated acquisition of calibration data and iterative improvement of the same.

Nanopositioning techniques present an important capability to support the state-of-the-art x-ray instrumentation research for the APS operations and upgrade project. To overcome the performance limitations of precision ball-bearing-based or roller-bearing-based linear stage systems, compact vertical and horizontal linear nanopositioning flexure stages have been designed and developed at the APS with centimeter-level travel range and nanometer-level resolution for x-ray beamline instrumentation. Using improved deformation compensated linear guiding mechanisms [*,**], the APS T8-55 vertical linear flexure stage and T8-56 horizontal linear flexure stage are initially designed as a pair of sample scanning stages for a hard x-ray scanning microscope at the APS sector 2. Due to their unique repeatable nanopositioning performance over the centimeter-level travel range, these stages are also suitable for many photon beam lines optics with repeatable and stable nanopositioning requirements. The mechanical design and finite element analyses of the APS T8-55 and T8-56 flexural stages, as well as its initial mechanical test results with laser interferometer are described in this paper.

  Four different types of RF cavities are realized for the heavy-ion synchrotron SIS100 which is built in the scope of the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) project. The standard acceleration is performed by ferrite cavities. Barrier bucket cavities will allow a pre-compression of the beam by means of moving barriers. Bunch compressor cavities are used to realize a rotation in longitudinal phase space by 90 degrees, thereby reducing the bunch length. Finally, a longitudinal feedback system reduces undesired beam oscillations. In contrast to the ferrite-loaded accelerating cavities, the last-mentioned three cavity types are based on magnetic alloy (MA) material. Depending on the type of the cavity system, the realization is done by - or in close collaboration with - different industrial companies and institutions. In this contribution, the realization status of all these synchrotron RF systems is summarized.

  Experimental results to combine ten 900 W solid-state amplifier modules based on typical quarter wavelength 10-way combiners are described for a total of 8.5 kW RF power output at 500 MHz. The power gain and phase distribution among the ten modules are measured and calculated to sense the combination efficiency. The combination efficiency of 100 modules differing in power gain and phase distribution is theoretically analysed. Groups of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 units are used in 4, 3, 2, and 1-stage power combination for total 100 units and the characteristics are calculated and investigated, including bandwidth, efficiency and even redundancy under various output VSWR levels. To simplify combining complexity and to eliminate the drawbacks of single stage combiners, a multi-way 2-stage coaxial to waveguide combiner is thus proposed as an expandable power combiner.

THPIK104 Transient Simulation of the ISIS Synchrotron Singlet Quadrupoles Using OPERA 3D quadrupole, simulation, software, proton 4334
 
  • I. Rodríguez

  Type QX106 singlet magnets are AC defocusing quadrupoles used in the ISIS main synchrotron ring. They have an aperture of 202 mm and a yoke length of 303 mm, so the end effects are significant. The iron poles and the yoke are asymmetric and the coils are driven by a 50Hz, 400 A AC current, biased with a DC current of 665 A. Therefore the yoke has to be laminated, and the laminations are slitted up to a depth of 90 mm on each side to further reduce the eddy current losses. Two 3D models (DC and transient) have been developed using OPERA 3D for different purposes. Both models require the use of an anisotropic BH curve for the yoke, and the transient model also requires an anisotropic conductivity and a prismatic/hexahedral mesh to overcome the limitations of the linear tetrahedral edge elements in OPERA's vector potential formulation. The quadrupole field quality was originally measured in 1982 with a DC excitation at the biased peak current (1065 A) and those measurements are now compared to both models. The iron losses due to the eddy currents are also presented and compared to the original specifications defined in 1980, as well as an estimation of the eddy currents in the coils.

Several accelerator projects require an increase in the number of particles per bunch, which is constrained by the space charge limit. Above this limit the transverse space charge force in combination with the lattice structure causes beam quality degradation and beam loss. Proposed devices to mitigate this beam loss in ion beams are electron lenses. An electron lens imparts a nonlinear, localized focusing kick to counteract the (global) space-charge forces in the primary beam. This effort is met with many challenges, including a reduced dynamic aperture (DA), resonance crossing, and beam-beam alignment. This contribution provides a detailed study of idealized electron lens use in high-intensity particle accelerators, including a comparison between analytical calculations and pyORBIT particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations.

THPVA024 Controlled Longitudinal Emittance Blow-Up Using Band-Limited Phase Noise in CERN PSB emittance, simulation, impedance, injection 4473
 
  • D. Quartullo, E.N. Shaposhnikova, H. Timko
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  Controlled longitudinal emittance blow-up (from 1 eVs to 1.4 eVs) for LHC beams in the CERN PS Booster is currently achievied using sinusoidal phase modulation of a dedicated high-harmonic RF system. In 2021, after the LHC injectors upgrade, 3 eVs should be extracted to the PS. Even if the current method may satisfy the new requirements, it relies on low-power level RF improvements. In this paper another method of blow-up was considered, that is the injection of band-limited phase noise in the main RF system (h=1), never tried in PSB but already used in CERN SPS and LHC, under different conditions (longer cycles). This technique, which lowers the peak line density and therefore the impact of intensity effects in the PSB and the PS, can also be complementary to the present method. The longitudinal space charge, dominant in the PSB, causes significant synchrotron frequency shifts with intensity, and its effect should be taken into account. Another complication arises from the interaction of the phase loop with the injected noise, since both act on the RF phase. All these elements were studied in simulations of the PSB cycle with the BLonD code, and the required blow-up was achieved.

  The Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA) has conducted experiments to probe the interaction of the electron cloud (EC) with a 2.1 GeV stored positron beam. These experiments investigate the dependence of beam'electron cloud interactions vs. bunch length (or synchrotron tune) at two values of the vertical chromaticity. The experiments utilized a 30-bunch positron train with a 14 ns spacing, at a fixed current of 0.75mA/bunch. The beam dynamics of the stored beam, in the presence of the electron cloud, was quantified using: 20 turn-by-turn beam position monitors in CESR to measure the correlated bunch-by-bunch dipole motion and an x-ray beam size monitor to record the bunch-by-bunch, turn-by-turn vertical size of each bunch within the trains. In this paper we report on the observations from these experiments and a more detailed analysis for the coupling of dipole motion via the EC from each bunch to succeeding bunches in the train.

  The transfer of bunched ion beams between various synchrotrons is required for the multi-accelerator complex FAIR, presently under construction at GSI. To avoid a dedicated distribution infrastructure for radiofrequency (RF) signals between each source and destination synchrotron, a new approach has been developed to transmit bunch and bucket phase information using synchronous Ethernet. This allows to locally regenerate all reference signals needed for the RF synchronization prior to a bunch-to-bucket transfer, as well as the triggers to the kickers. The modular and configurable hardware implementation based on the White Rabbit network progresses towards a proof-of-principle demonstrator. Besides the synchronization of revolution and RF frequencies, the bunches in the source accelerator must be aligned in azimuth with respect to the buckets in the receiving synchrotron. To validate the feasibility of this azimuthal steering, measurements have been performed with protons in the CERN PS to evaluate the longitudinal emittance growth. They are complemented with tracking simulations using the BLonD code.

THPVA042 Semi-Autonomous Device for Visual Inspection of Vacuum Beamlines of Particle Accelerators vacuum, ion, diagnostics, heavy-ion 4528

  Due to the closed structure of ultra-high vacuum beamline systems, a visual inspection of the internal pipe is hardly feasible. For instance, when opening the accelerator vacuum system, an endoscope can be used to inspect the internals. However, this proves to be impractical in case of large, curved accelerator vacuum systems with complex geometries. It is more efficient to open the system only at one or two locations and to use a mobile semi-autonomous inspection device with optical imaging. A mobile robot is currently under development in our laboratory for the planned heavy ion synchrotron SIS100 at FAIR. A multitude of vacuum chamber types with different height levels as well as gaps must be traversed reliably by the robot. We present a modular wheel-based mobile robot prototype with joints between the modules which let the robot climb to different height levels by lifting the modules successively.

The total power and power distri-bution on Front End components is calculated and ana-lysed and Finite Element Analysis is used to verify the thermal performance under high heat loads while Monte-Carlo methods are utilized to simulate the vacuum pres-sure distribution. All apertures of the components are the same to simplify and standardize the design of the Front Ends.

MedAustron is a synchrotron-based ion beam therapy center allowing the treatment of tumours with protons and other light ion species, in particular C6+. Commissioning of the first irradiation room for clinical therapy with proton beams has been completed and in parallel to the commissioning of the remaining two irradiation rooms, a facility upgrade study has started. Our analysis includes considerations for the possibility to introduce different extraction mechanisms, new diagnostic tools, optimization of the accelerator cycle time, ripples mitigation for more accurate active beam stabilization and other improvements for hardware reliability. We present the concept, the main benefits, also in terms of treatment time reduction, and the challenges for implementation. Each option will be investigated including a detailed assessment on resources demand, impact and risk analysis.

  The MedAustron Ion Therapy Center is a medical accelerator facility for hadron therapy cancer treatment using protons and carbon ions. The facility features 4 irradiation rooms, three of which are dedicated to clinical operation and a fourth one dedicated to non-clinical research. The latter was handed over to researchers in autumn 2016. A 7 MeV/n injector feeds a 77 m circumference synchrotron which provides beams for treatment and research. Routine verification measurements in the synchrotron involve beam emittance, dispersion as well as tunes and chromaticity. The horizontal and vertical emittance are measured using scraping plates and a direct current transformer. The dispersion function in the ring is determined by sweeping the synchrotron RF frequency while measuring the beam position in the shoe-box pick-ups. The horizontal and vertical betatron tune and chromaticity are measured with Direct Diode Detection electronics, developed at CERN, while changing the beam position with the RF radial loop. The beam is kept off-momentum, thus in dispersive regions the closed orbit is largely offset from the central orbit. Methods for beam measurements in the synchrotron are presented.

  The synchrotron-based MedAustron accelerator in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, has seen the first clinical beam and has been certified as a medical accelerator in December 2016. This represented a major milestone for the facility whose original design originated more than a decade ago and construction started four years ago. The accelerator is designed to deliver clinical proton beams 60-253 MeV and carbon ions 120-400 MeV/u to three ion therapy irradiation rooms (IRs), including a room with a proton Gantry. Beams up to 800 MeV will be provided to a fourth room dedicated to non-clinical research. Presently, proton beams are delivered to the horizontal beam lines of three irradiation rooms. In parallel, commissioning of the accelerator with Carbon ions and the installation of the Gantry beam line are ongoing. At MedAustron, a third-order resonance extraction method is used to extract particles from the synchrotron in a slow controlled process over a spill time of 0.1-10 seconds to facilitate the measurement and control of the delivered radiation dose during clinical treatments. The main characteristics of the accelerator and the results obtained during the commissioning are presented.

  The delivery of clinical beams for patient treatment at the MedAustron Ion Therapy Center requires extensive accelerator performance verifications, which are performed in several steps. In first instance, the key parameters of the beam delivered to the irradiation rooms (beam position, spot size, energy and intensity) are verified via measurements performed with beam diagnostic devices distributed along the accelerator. The second verification step consists in testing the full functionality of the therapy accelerator, including the medical frontend: scanning magnets performance, intensity monitoring and safety features. The final verification step is the quality assurance (QA) done by the medical department. An extended set of reference measurements assures the fast identification of the faulty components in case of a performance deviation, and the totality of the accumulated data allows in-depth analysis of the accelerator performance. We present here the trends and correlations observed during the first verification step for the most important parameters, as well as the lessons learned through all the implementation stages of the beam quality assurance.

THPVA082 Multi-Energy Trial Operation of the HIT Medical Synchrotron: Accelerator Model and Data Supply ion, extraction, acceleration, controls 4644

  At the Heidelberg ion beam therapy center (HIT) cancer patients are treated with the raster-scanning dose delivery method of heavy ion pencil beams. The beams are provided by a synchrotron which allows for a variation of the ion penetration depth by changing the ion beam energy for each synchrotron cycle. In order to change the beam energy within one synchrotron cycle the accelerator model and data supply model within the control system have been extended extensively. In this first data supply model beam re-acceleration or deceleration between two arbitrary extraction energies is defined. The model defines an additional transition phase, i.e. current/set value patterns between extraction and the re-acceleration yet giving the possibility of setting the beam properties suitable for further acceleration/deceleration. This includes the dipoles, correctors, quadrupoles, sextupoles, KO-Exciter (spill break), and RF. This allowed for the survey and optimisation of the beam properties including possible beam losses of the re-accelerated, transversally blown up beam for arbitrary energy levels.

THPVA083 First Tests of a Re-accelerated Beam at Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Centre (HIT) extraction, ion, operation, acceleration 4647

  In the active raster scanning method performed at HIT since 2009, tumors are irradiated slice-by-slice by changing the extraction energy. The synchrotron provides a library of 255 different extraction-energy levels per ion type, according to the aimed penetration depth. So far, a new synchrotron cycle is started for each iso-energy-slice resulting in a non-optimal duty cycle. In order to reduce treatment time and to increase the number of patients treated per day, synchrotron cycles with several extraction flattops on different energy levels are planned. After completing one iso-energy-slice, remaining particles will be reaccelerated to the adjacent level. As a first test a new data supply model generating patterns for power supplies and RF devices with two different extraction flattops has been implemented recently. The properties of the reaccelerated beam are now under detailed examination. The reaccelerated beam was successfully extracted and guided to the experimental area. Ionization chambers along the beam line clearly show two spills on two different extraction flattops. The desired change of beam energy has been verified by range measurements in a water column.

  The accelerator complex using FFAG synchrotrons at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute has been operated for the ADS experiments connecting the 100 MeV proton beam line with the research reactor facility KUCA (Kyoto University Critical Assembly) since 2009. Number of neutrons produced through the nuclear spallation process strongly depends on the beam energy of the pri- mary protons. If the beam energy is increased from 100 MeV to 400 MeV, the number of neutrons corresponding to single primary proton is increased by a factor of 20. Therefore, the energy upgrade of the accelerator facility is desired by the reactor physicists. A new 400 MeV FFAG synchrotron has been designed. The results of the feasibility study of the 400 MeV ring will be presented.

  In SAGA-HIMAT, 620 patients have been treated by use of two irradiation rooms in 2015 financial year, where passive irradiation method is adopted. To increase treatment capacity of our facility, we have started the construction of the third treatment room at the beginning of 2014 with a scanning irradiation system. In the new treatment room (room C), there are horizontal and vertical irradiation courses. This construction was required to carry out without interruptions on the treatments in room A and room B. At the end of 2016 financial year, the system tests are almost scheduled to be ready for treatment. In this presentation, we will give obtained performances of our scanning system.
