TUPAB203 | Electromagnetic Simulations of a Novel Proton Linac Using VSim on HPC | 1887 |

Funding: This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, award number DE-SC0019468; It used resources of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, contract DE-AC02-06CH11357, and from Element Aero. We discuss electromagnetic simulations of accelerating structures in a high performance computing (HPC) system. Our overarching goal is to resolve the linac operation in a large ensemble of initial beam conditions. This requires a symbiotic relation between the electromagnetic solver and HPC. The linac is being developed by Ion Linac Systems to produce a low-energy, high-current, proton beam. We use VSim, an electromagnetic solver and PIC software developed by Tech-X to determine the electromagnetic fundamental mode of operation of the accelerating structures and discuss its implementation at the THETA supercomputer in the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. |

WEPAB411 | Ion Coulomb Crystals in Storage Rings for Quantum Information Science | 3667 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. We discuss the possible use of crystalline beams in storage rings for applications in quantum information science (QIS). Crystalline beams have been created in ion trap systems and proven to be useful as a computational basis for QIS applications. The same structures can be created in a storage ring, but the ions necessarily have a constant velocity and are rotating in a circular trap. The basic structures that are needed are ultracold crystalline beams, called ion Coulomb crystals (ICC’s). We will describe different applications of ICC’s for QIS, how QIS information is obtained and can be used for quantum computing, and some of the challenges that need to be resolved to realize practical QIS applications in storage rings. |

THPAB069 | Design Concepts for a High-Gradient C-Band Linac | 3919 |
|
||
Funding: This work was performed under Contract No. 89233218CNA000001, supported by the U.S. DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration, for the operation of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). During the last decade, the production of soft to hard x-rays (up to 25 keV) at XFEL facilities has enabled new developments in a broad range of disciplines. One caveat is that these instruments can require a large amount of real estate. For example, the XFEL driver is typically an electron beam linear accelerator (LINAC) and the need for higher electron beam energies capable of generating higher energy X-rays can require longer linacs; costs quickly become prohibitive, requiring state of art methods. One cost-saving measure is to produce a high accelerating gradient while reducing cavity size. Compact accelerating structures are also high-frequency. Here, we describe design concepts for a high-gradient, cryo-cooled LINAC for XFEL facilities in the C-band regime (~4-8 GHz). We are also exploring C-band for different applications including drivers for security applications. We investigate 2 different traveling wave (TW) geometries optimized for high-gradient operation as modeled with VSim software. |
