Development of tunable systems for non-invasive bunch diagnostics is a modern trend in accelerator physics. Certain dielectric targets are considered in this context, for example, dielectric cones or prisms. Moreover, all-dielectric target which increase the radiated Cherenkov field near the predetermined focus up to several orders of magnitude has been described* and field near its focus and sensitivity of this target have been analyzed**. Here we consider a non-symmetrical case where charge trajectory has a shift with respect to structure axis. We develop analytical approach for description of Cherenkov radiation, perform three-dimensional simulations and compare the results.

  Crab cavities are a critical component within the High Luminosity upgrade project for the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). It is foreseen to use crab cavities in order to compensate the geometric luminosity reduction factor (reduction of the luminous region at the Interaction Point [IP]) due to the beam crossing angle (required for minimizing the impact of the long range beam-beam effects on the single particle beam dynamics) and increase the number of collisions per bunch crossing. In 2018 the first beam tests of crab cavities with protons were performed in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. Two vertical superconducting cavities of the Double Quarter Wave (DQW) type were fabricated and installed in the SPS to verify some key components of the cavity design and operation. This paper will present some of the first results relating to the proton beam dynamics in the presence of crab cavities.

Interaction of a particle beam with the vacuum chamber impedance is one of the main effects limiting the beam intensity in accelerators. Minimization of the impedance is an essential part of the vacuum chamber design for any new accelerator project. The impedance can be estimated experimentally by measuring beam dynamics effects caused by the beam-impedance interaction. Experience obtained at many accelerator facilities shows the beam-based measurements are often different from the pre-computed impedance budgets, the discrepancy of a factor of two or even more is not unusual. The measurements of broadband longitudinal impedance carried out at NSLS-II are discussed in comparison with the numerically simulated impedance budget.

  CLARA (Compact Linear Accelerator for Research and Applications) is a test facility for Free Electron Laser (FEL) research and other applications at STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory. The first exploitation period using CLARA Front End (FE) provided a range of beam parameters to 12 user experiments. Beam line to Beam Area 1 (BA1) was commissioned and optimised for these experiments, some involving TW laser integration. In addition to the user exploitation programme, significant advances were made to progress on machine development. This paper summarises these developments and presents the near future plan for CLARA.

  FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment) is a compact versatile linear accelerator at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). It serves as a platform for a variety of accelerator studies as well as a source of strong ultra-short THz pulses for photon science. In the commissioning phase of the 7 MeV low energy section the electron bunches are used to test the different diagnostics systems installed in this section. An example is the split-ring-resonator-experiment. In this contribution we report on the commissioning status of the beam diagnostics and present first beam measurements at FLUTE.

  With the VSR upgrade for the BESSY II electron storage ring* bunch resolved diagnostics are required for machine commissioning and to ensure the long-term quality and stability of operation. For transverse beam size measurements we are going to use an interferometric method, which will be combined with a fast gated intensified CCD camera at a subsequent stage. A double-slit interferometer method has already been verified successfully at BESSY II**. In addition first 2D bunch resolved measurement tests have been performed at the dedicated diagnostics beamline for bunch length measurements. Measurements of the interferometer and X-ray pinholes as function of a vertical electron beam excitation are compared in this paper.

  The European X-ray Free-Electron Laser provides one of the most powerful X-ray laser pulses to a wide range of experiments. These experiments strongly benefit from the exact knowledge of the electron bunch current profile and demand for stable and shortest-possible pulse lengths. During the 2018 summer shutdown, the 4-staged grating spectrometer CRISP* has been installed at a diffraction radiation (DR) beamline just upstream of the undulator beamline switchyard. The DR at final electron beam energies of up to 17.5 GeV enables non-invasive bunch length characterization based on form factor measurements down to a few micrometers. Fast detectors and electronics allow for the characterization of the whole bunch train with repetition rates above 1 MHz. This contribution will present commissioning results of the THz beamline as well as first measured form factors and reconstructed electron current profiles.

  Operation of modern particle accelerators require high qualitity beams and conseguently sensitive diagnostic system in order to monitories and characterize the beam during the acceleration and transport. A turn-key high level software BOLINA (Beam Orbit for Linear Accelerators) has been developed to fully characterise the 6D beam phase space in order to help operator during commissioning with an easily scalable suite for any high brightness LINAC. In this work will be presented the diagnostic toolkit is presented as designed for the ELI-NP Gamma Beam System (GBS) a radiation source based on the Compton back scattering effect able to provide tunable gamma rays in the 0.2-20 MeV range with narrow bandwidth (0.3% and a high spectral density (104 photons/sec/eV) by the Compton backscattering effect. BOLINA suite is design to be machine independent, thanks to the file exchanges with the EPICS based control system. Simulation of raw data of the ELI-NP-GBS accelerator has been used to test the capabilities of the diagnostic toolkit.

  With the increased technological complexity of accelera-tors, meeting the demand of beam diagnostics and opera-tion need more powerful and faster methods. And detect-ing the accuracy and stability of beam position moni-tors(BPMs) are important for all kinds of measurement systems and feedback systems in particle accelerator field. As an effective tool for data analysis and automa-tion, the machine learning methods had been used in accelerator physics field, recently. Among machine learn-ing methods, the clustering by fast search and find of density peaks as a typical unsupervised learning algo-rithms could be performed directly without training in arbitrary accelerator systems and could discover un-known patterns in the data. This paper used clustering by fast search and find of density peaks to detect faulty beam position monitor or monitoring beam orbit stability by analysis five typical parameters, that is beta oscilla-tion of X and Y direction(BetaX and BetaY), transverse oscillation of X and Y direction(AmpX and AmpY) and energy oscillation(AmpE). The results showed that cluster-ing by fast search and find of density peaks could classi-fy beam data into different clusters on the basis of their similarity. And that, aberrant run data points could be detected by decision graph. Morever, analysis results demonstrate the characteristic parameters AmpE, AmpX and BetaX amplitude have the same effect to distinguish the faulty BPMs and the AmpY and the BetaY amplitude are also.

  As a under-constrution forth-generation light source in China, SHINE(Shanghai HIgh repetition rate XFEL aNd Extreme light facility) is expected to play an important role in basic scientific research in the field of materials and medicine. However, the performance of FEL depends critically on the completeness and quality of their beam diagnostic systems. Since the SHINE project will operate with bunch charge at 100pC, which is only one-quarter of that in the SXFEL, the measurement accuracy requirements for SBPM will increase significantly. On the other hand, the bunch repetition frequency of SHINE reached 1MHz, which shortened the threshold for measuring dead time. Fitting the requirement, the passband and the sampling rate design of stripline BPM is upgraded for the SHINE project. The final design was simulated using the data on the SXFEL, and the some inspiring results have been made.

High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a 6 GeV ul-tralow-emittance storage ring light source to be built in Beijing, China. With a multiple-bend achromat lattice design, the storage ring is expected to achieve an ul-tralow emittance of 34 pm.rad. The horizontal and verti-cal beam sizes will be in the sub-10 μm level. Beam emit-tance will be measured with x-ray diagnostic beamline at a low dispersion bending magnet source point. A visible light beamline will be designed to measure the bunch length and purity. In this paper, we will introduce the x-ray beamline, which combine with different techniques to resolve beam sizes and emittance.

  Parameters and dynamics of the electron beam of the Novosibirsk infrared Free Electron Laser are studied. The Novosibirsk FEL is based on the multi-turn energy recovery linac (ERL). The ERL operate in CW mode with an average beam current about 5 mA. Therefore non-destructive beam diagnostic methods are 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 and can be used for diagnostic purposes. The transverse beam dimensions were measured with the optical diagnostics before (transition radiation) and after (synchrotron radiation from a bending magnet) the undulator applied for generation of middle-infrared coherent radiation. The obtained data are used to calculate the beam energy distribution and emittance.

  Stable and reliable beam position measurement is of paramount importance for the present and future light sources. Stabilization with a pilot-tone technique was developed by Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and supported in the commercial BPM electronics Libera Spark. Both system components (the pilot-tone front-end and BPM electronics) are controlled through a common software interface which is compatible with TANGO, EPICS and LabVIEW/MATLAB clients. The system provides a reliable self-diagnostics, cable and button diagnostics and drift compensation. This paper presents results from beam measurements under different environmental and beam conditions.

  The European Spallation Source (ESS) is currently under construction in Lund (Sweden), and its 5 MW of average beam power at repetition rate of 14 Hz will make it five times more powerful than other pulsed neutron-scattering facilities. High-energy neutrons will be produced via spallation by 2 GeV protons on a tungsten target. A complete suite of beam diagnostics will enable tuning, monitoring and protection of the proton accelerator during commissioning, studies and operation. As an initial step toward neutron production, the Ion Source (ISrc) and the 75keV Low Energy Beam Transport Line (LEBT) have been installed. For the commissioning and characterization of this first beam-producing system, a subset of the ISrc and LEBT diagnostics suite has been deployed. This includes the following equipment: a Faraday cup, beam current transformers, an Allison Scanner emittance measurement unit, beam-induced fluorescence monitors, and a Doppler-shift spectroscopy system. Beam instrumentation deployment and performance verification, as well as the operational experience during the initial beam commissioning, will be presented.

  When a relativistic charged particle travels at a short distance from the surface of dielectric material Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR) is produced inside the dielectric. Recent observation of incoherent ChDR in the visible spectrum has opened the possibility of using this radiation for non-invasive beam size and position measurements. An experimental test to study this technique for highly directional beam position measurement has been initiated on the CLEAR facility at CERN, whilst another experimental investigation is underway at the Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2) at KEK, Japan, to measure the resolution limit of ChDR for beam imaging diagnostics. This contribution presents the latest experimental results from both of these test facilities.

The study of magnetized electron beam has become a high priority for its use in ion beam cooling as part of Electron Ion Colliders and the potential of easily forming flat beams for various applications. In this paper, a new diagnostic is described with the purpose of studying transverse magnetized beam properties. The device is a modification to the classic pepper-pot, used in this novel context to measure the uncorrelated components of transverse emittance in addition to the typical effective emittance. The limitations of traditional methods are discussed, and simulated demonstrations of the new technique shown.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is developing an intense, high-brightness fast neutron source to create sub-millimeter-scale resolution neutron radiographs and imag-es. An intense source (1011 n/s/sr at 0 degrees) of fast neutrons (10 MeV) will be produced using a pulsed 7 MeV, 300μAmp average-current commercial deuteron accelerator producing a small (1.5 mm diameter) beam spot size to achieve high resolution. The high average power beam is a challenge for diagnostics, and a precise full power emittance measurement is critical to benchmark the system performance. A fluorescence-based beam profiling diagnostic has been selected, and this paper presents the design for the system including chamber layout, light yield calculations, and imaging system details.

  High-gradient accelerating structures are known to produce field-emitted current from regions of high surface field, which are captured and accelerated by the fields within the structure. This current is routinely measured in structures under test in the CLIC high-gradient test stands using Faraday cups. This paper presents a novel technique to spatially resolve the longitudinal distribution of field emitted current by analysing downstream Faraday cup signals when the structure is fed with RF pulses much shorter than its filling time. Results from this method applied to X-band cavities operating at 100 MV/m are presented, and are compared to breakdown position distributions. A decay in emitted current as conditioning progressed in regions with a low breakdown rate and large jumps in regions with a large breakdown rate are observed.

  Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) screens are widely used for beam profile measurements. The radiation is emitted when a charged particle beam crosses the boundary between two media with different optical properties. The main advantages of OTR are the instantaneous emission process allowing fast single shot measurements (i.e. bunch by bunch measurements in a multi bunch machine), and the good linearity with the beam charge (if coherent effects can be neglected). Furthermore, OTR angular distribution strongly depends on beam energy. Since OTR screens are typically placed in several positions along the Linac to monitor beam envelope, one may perform a distributed energy measurement along the machine: this will be useful, for instance, during the commissioning phase of a machine. This paper deals with the studies of an algorithm to optimize the generation and the transport of the transition radiation through an optic system using the simulation tool Zemax. The algorithm, in combination with a particle tracking code (i.e. Elegant), will allow to simulate the radiation generated by a beam and, so, to take into account beam divergence and energy spread or chromatic effects in the optic system.

  X-ray pinhole camera is widely used system for the transverse beam profile measurement and emittance feedback. However this method is predominantly applied to the middle and high energy storage rings. At Solaris storage ring with the nominal energy of 1.5 GeV, the design of the beamline was modified to provide sufficient X-ray photon flux for proper imaging. The successful installation and commissioning of the X-ray pinhole beamline allows now to measure the emittance and helps in proper 3rd harmonic cavities tuning against the coupled bunch mode instabilities. The paper describes the design details, simulations and measurement results obtained during the beamline operation.

  We will report the preliminary application of the Bayesian Inference of the unknown parameters of accelerator model using the FRIB commissioning data. The inference result not only indicates the value of the unknown parameter, but also the confidence of adopting the value. The Bayesian approach provides an alternative method to understand the difference between accelerator model and the hardware and may help achieving ultimate beam parameters of FRIB.

Proton beam therapy promises significant advantages over other forms of radiation therapy. However, to assure the best possible cancer care for patients further R&D into novel beam imaging and patient diagnostics, enhanced biological and physical models in Monte Carlo codes, as well as clinical facility design and optimization is required. Within the pan-European Optimization of Medical Accelerators (OMA) project collaborative research is being carried out between universities, research and clinical facilities, and industry in all of these areas. This contribution presents results from studies into low-intensity proton beam diagnostics, prompt gamma-based range verification in proton therapy, as well as prospects for a new proton irradiation facility for radiobiological measurements at an 18 MeV cyclotron within OMA. These results are then connected to the wider project aims of enhancing ion beam therapy. A summary of past and future events organised by the OMA consortium is also given.

Thermionic energy converters (TEC) are a class of thermoelectric devices, which promise improvements to the efficiency and cost of both small- and large-scale electricity generation. A TEC is comprised of a narrowly-separated thermionic emitter and an anode. Simple structures are often space-charge limited as operating temperatures produce currents exceeding the Child-Langmuir limit. We present results from 3D simulations of these devices using the particle-in-cell code Warp, developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. We demonstrate improvements to the Warp code permitting high fidelity simulations of complex device geometries. These improvements include modeling of non-conformal geometries using mesh refinement and cut-cells with a dielectric solver, in addition to importing geometries directly from standard CAD output. In this paper we showcase some of these new features and demonstrate their use.

  The Enhanced Orbit Diagnostic (EOD) features will be an expansion to the existing Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB) system that is currently in operation. The new system will add the capability of online cor-rector-to-position response matrix calculation; this will significantly reduce the required measurement time. The new features will allow the injection of PRBS noise or sinusoidal signals into correctors, to characterise and monitor the FOFB system’s parameters and performance and track it over time. The system will be built based on a Xilinx ZYNQ Sys-tem-on-Module (SOM) mounted on an in-house designed motherboard to which the existing FOFB daughter board is plugged into.

  The Antiproton Decelerator (AD) has been routinely providing 3 E7 antiprotons since July 2000 at 100 MeV/c from 3.5 GeV/c. It will be refurbished during the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) to provide reliable operation for the new Extra Low ENergy Antiproton (ELENA) ring. AD will be equipped with a new digital Low-Level RF (LLRF) system before its restart in 2021. Diagnostics to measure beam intensity, Δp/p and Schottky spectra will also be developed. This paper is an overview of the planned capabilities and implementations, as well as of the challenges to overcome.

  On the control system hardware platform for the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) more than half use CompactPCI crates. If a crate malfunctions, the internal crate card will not operate properly affecting accelerator operation. If the crate, however, could provide instant remote operational information, an opportunity exists to maintain or replace it in advance. Therefore, a diagnostic tool was developed to analyse and diagnose the condition of the crates. When abnormal operations occur, an alarm can be issued for early inspection and maintenance. This way it is possible to prevent the EPICS IOC from crashing by CompactPCI crates, which improves the reliability of accelerator operation. A detailed system architecture, implementation and progress will be discussed in this report.
