| MOPTS002 | Linac Energy Jitter Measurements with SPARK BPMs at ALBA | 833 |
|
||
| At ALBA four Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) measure the beam position along the Linac to Booster Transfer Line. The BPM electronics (Libera Spark type) have been recently upgraded in order to be sensitive to single-pass beam detection. As a result, the position resolution measured in LTB BPMs has been increased by a factor 10 with respect to the former electronics. The increased resolution enables us to resolve the energy jitter of the Linac beam, providing an on-line measurement of the Linac energy during regular operation. In this paper a study of the Linac energy jitter is presented as well as its correlation with the jitter sources. | ||

| MOPTS095 | Optimization of the Alba Linac Operation Modes | 1086 |
|
||
| ALBA is a third generation synchrotron light source that consists on a linac, booster and storage ring. The linac is capable of operating in single (SBM) and multi-bunch injection mode (MBM). Since 2016 the Single Bunch Bucket Selection algorithm which runs in SBM, permits to inject on a selected bucket keeping the charge uniformity along the ring below 4\%. However when running in SBM a significantly lower transmission along the linac is observed, with respect to the one when running in MBM. Simulation efforts have been deployed in order to build up a reliable model of the ALBA linac which can reproduce the experimental measurements. In this paper we present the new simulation model that renders the experimental observations, and the new optimization procedure developed in simulations and tested in the real machine. | ||

Funding: * The European Circular Energy-Frontier Collider Study (EuroCirCol) project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant No 654305. In the framework of the EuroCirCol collaboration (work package 4 "Cryogenic Beam Vacuum System"), the fabrication of the FCC-hh beam screen (BS) prototype has been carried out with the aim of testing it at room temperature on the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) 2.5 GeV electron storage ring KARA (KArlsruhe Research Accelerator) light source. The BS prototype was tested on a beamline installed by the collaboration, named as BEam Screen TEstbench EXperiment (BESTEX). KARA has been chosen because its synchrotron radiation (SR) spectrum, photon flux and power match quite well the one foreseen for the 50+50 TeV FCC-hh proton collider. The BS prototype (2 m in length) was manufactured according to the base line design (BD) of the FCC-hh BS. It implements a saw-tooth profile designed to absorb the SR generated at the bending magnets. Also, a laser-ablated anti-electron cloud surface texturing [2] was applied at the BS inner walls. We present here the results obtained at BESTEX and the comparison of the results obtained during irradiation of the saw-tooth profile at different geometric configurations. This activity has been carried out in the framework of the EuroCirCol* collaboration (work package 4 "Cryogenic Beam Vacuum System"). |

| TUPGW061 | First Study for an Upgrade of the ALBA Lattice | 1544 |
|
||
| ALBA has started a study that will produce the design of a new lattice for a diffraction limited photon source. The baseline lattice should preserve the present circumference and energy, and keep the insertion device beamline source points as much as possible unchanged. The first solution is a 16-fold periodic ring based on a 7BA cell with dispersion bump, paired sextupoles and anti-bends. An emittance of 155 pm·rad would be reached without longitudinal gradient in the dipole magnets. | ||

Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 777431 The H2020 CompactLight Project (www. CompactLight.eu) aims at designing the next generation of compact X-rays Free-Electron Lasers, relying on very high gradient accelerating structures (X-band, 12 GHz), the most advanced concepts for bright electron photo injectors, and innovative compact short-period undulators. Compared to existing facilities, the proposed facility will benefit from a lower electron beam energy, due to the enhanced undulators performance, and will be significantly more compact, with a smaller footprint, as a consequence of the lower energy and the high-gradient X-band structures. In addition, the whole infrastructure will also have a lower electrical power demand as well as lower construction and running costs. |

Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 777431 In this paper we report the start-to-end simulation results of one of the options under consideration for the CompactLight Project (XLS). The XLS is a hard X-ray Free Electron Laser under design, using the latest concepts for bright electron photo injectors, very high-gradient X-band structures, and innovative short-period undulators. Presently there exist various tracking codes to conduct the design process. Therefore identifying the most convenient code is of notable importance. This paper compares the tracking codes, Placet and General Particle Tracer, using the XLS lattice based on a S and X-band Injector. The calculation results in terms of beam quality and tracking performance of a full 6-D simulation are presented. [*] The CompactLight Design Study Project, IPAC2019 proceedings. |

| WEPRB060 | HOM Damped Normal Conducting 1.5 GHz Cavity Design Evolution for the 3rd Harmonic System of the ALBA Storage Ring | 2948 |
|
||
| In a collaboration framework with CERN, ALBA has designed a normal conducting active 1.5 GHz cavity which could serve as main RF system for the Damping Ring of CLIC and as an active third harmonic cavity for the ALBA Storage Ring. The third harmonic cavity at ALBA will be used to increase the bunch length in order to improve the beam lifetime and increase the beam stability thresholds. The main advantage of an active third harmonic cavity is that optimum conditions can be reached for any beam current. This paper presents the evolution of the preliminary design of this cavity and its trans-dampers: high order modes coaxial dampers with waveguide transitions to N, which allows extracting the power of the high order modes induced by the beam outside of the cavity and to dissipate it using standard loads. This approach has two main advantages: no ferrites brazing is needed and they provide a diagnostic to analyze the beam dynamics. The new features of the design, together with electromagnetic simulations, mechanical and thermal stress analysis will be presented in this paper as well as the first stages of the prototype production status. | ||

| THPRB071 | Beam-Based Measurements on Two ±12.5 kV Inductive Adders, together with Striplines, for CLIC Damping Ring Extraction Kickers | 3970 |
|
||
| The CLIC study is investigating the technical feasibil-ity of an electron-positron linear collider with high lumi-nosity and a nominal centre-of-mass energy of 3 TeV. Pre-damping rings and damping rings (DRs) will produce ultra-low emittance beam with high bunch charge. The DR kicker systems, each of which consists of a set of striplines and two inductive adders, must provide ex-tremely stable field pulses. The DR extraction kicker system is the most demanding: specifications require a field uniformity within ±0.01% and pulses up to 900 ns flattop duration, at ±12.5 kV and 309 A, with ripple and droop of not more than ±0.02 % (±2.5 V), with respect to a reference waveform. Two prototype inductive adders have been designed and built at CERN, and have been tested with prototype striplines installed in the storage ring of the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source, in Spain. The stability of the kicker system, including the modulators, has been evaluated from the beam-based measure-ments and is reported in this paper. | ||

| THPTS058 | New 50 KW SSPA Transmitter for the ALBA Booster | 4237 |
|
||
| ALBA is a 3th generation 3 GeV synchrotron light source located in Barcelona and operating with users since May 2012. The IOT based transmitter for the booster cavity has been replaced by a Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) of 50 kW at 500 MHz in August 2018. The new transmitter is made of 96 active devices, which are divided in 12 modules of 8 transistors each one. The modules are combined in groups of four using the Gysel topology and two hybrid combiners are used for the final combining stage. The design allows the transmitter to provide enough power even when multiple transistor fails occur, in the same module or in different ones, and it also presents power supplies redundancy. These modules can be hot swapped, i.e., the module can be replaced by a spare at any time, even when the transmitter is providing power without affecting the operation. After two months of operation, the transmitter fulfills very well the design specifications regarding power, efficiency and gain; and although minor problems have arisen due to infant mortality in some components, the operation of the transmitter has never been affected due to the high redundancy. | ||

| THPTS059 | Development of a 1.5 GHz, 1 KW Solid State Power Amplifier for 3rd Harmonic System of the Alba Storage Ring | 4240 |
|
||
|
ALBA is the Spanish third generation synchrotron light source, located near Barcelona, in operation since 2012. In order to improve the operation, a third harmonic system has been designed for the Storage Ring in order to stretch the bunch length, and so, improve the beam life time and increase the stability current thresholds. The design of the system consist of four Higher Order Mode (HOM) damped normal conductive active cavities at 1.5 GHz*, feed with 20 kW of RF power each cavity, in order to provide the voltage of 1 MV to the electron beam. The 20 kW RF power transmitter system is based on 250 W solid state power amplifier modules added in parallel by a tree combination technique. The selected combination tree divides the 20 kW overall power per cavity in twenty 1 kW crates. This paper presents the designs of the 250 W power amplifier modules, of the splitter and of the combiner, as well as the measurement results of a 1 kW prototype crate.

| THPTS060 | Sirius Digital LLRF | 4244 |
|
||
| Sirius is a Synchrotron Light Source Facility based on a 4th generation low emittance storage ring. The facility is presently under construction in Campinas, Brazil, and comprises a 3 GeV electron storage ring, a full energy booster synchrotron and a 120 MeV linac. The booster RF system is based on a single 5-cell cavity driven by a 50 kW amplifier at 500MHz and is designed to operate at 2 Hz rate. The storage ring RF system will start with 1 normal conducting 7-cell cavity. In the final configuration, the system will comprise 2 superconducting cavities, each one driven by a 240 kW RF amplifier. A digital LLRF system based on ALBA LLRF has been designed and commissioned to control 3 different types of cavities: 2 normal conducting single cell cavities, one multi-cell cavity driven by 2 amplifiers and one superconducting cavity driven by 4 amplifiers. The first LLRF System was installed and commissioned in the Sirius Booster in 2019. The performance of the control loops with beam, together with other utilities of the system like automatic start-up, conditioning, fast interlocks and post-mortem analysis will be presented in this paper, as well as possible upgrades for the future | ||
