A 70 MeV cyclotron is being used at the Arronax GIP (Interest Public Group), France, for various types of R&D on nuclear, biological and chemical reactions with beams and radioisotopes production. In order to adapt its usage for experiments and users demands of high peak intensity, above an equivalent average of a few µA, the injection is being adapted. Several studies are thus being performed in this section. These include the newly installed chopper-based system and the injection collimator. This paper details the various studies, specifically the signal purity obtained in the pulsed mode. A mode particularly adapted for flash irradiation.

A Hollow Electron Lens (HEL) is currently under development for the High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In this device, a hollow electron beam co-propagates with a central proton beam and provides active halo control in the LHC. To ensure the concentricity of the two beams, a non-invasive diagnostic instrument is currently being commissioned. This instrument is a compact version of an existing prototype that leverages beam induced fluorescence with supersonic gas curtain technology. This contribution includes the design features of this version of the monitor, recent progress, and future plans for tests at the Cockcroft Institute and the electron lens test stand at CERN.

  The coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR) emitted as a short electron bunch passes over a periodic metal surface is expected to be applied as a non-destructive beam diagnostic tool. The longitudinal profile of the electron bunch can be deduced by the measured spectrum of the coherent SPR, which is compared with the theoretical one for single electron. There are several theoretical models that explain the SPR mechanism, such as the surface current (SC) model and the van den Berg model. But the difference of estimation in radiation intensity between different models is not trivial, and also the experimental data to evaluate those validity is not enough. At test accelerator, t-ACTS, in Tohoku University we are conducting experimental research on coherent SPR in the terahertz frequency region using an ultra-short electron bunch of about 100 fs. The status and results of the experiment will be presented.

Simulation of thermal effects in accelerator cavity is normally performed assuming steady state solution where a static thermal solver suffices to evaluate temperature gradients and impacts on mechanical design. However, during the rf pulse ramp up or the machine system cool-down process, when the field in the cavity changes rapidly, transient effects need to be taken into account. A parallel time domain thermal solver has been developed in the finite element multi-physics code suite ACE3P with integrated electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical modeling capabilities. The implementation takes advantage of the parallel computation infrastructure of ACE3P and shares most of the ingredients in mesh generation, matrix assembly, time advancement scheme and postprocessing. In this paper, we will outline the finite element formulation of the transient thermal problem and verify the implementation against analytical solutions and existing numerical results. The thermal solver has also been coupled to ACE3P mechanical solver, allowing stress and strain analysis during the transient stage. Application of the transient thermal solver to realistic accelerator cavities will be presented.

Ionization beam profile monitor using a supersonic gas jet is an attractive option for the characterization of low and medium energy beams. In this scheme, a primary beam crosses a 45-degree tilted thin gas curtain which causes ionization of gas molecules in the jet. The generated ions are then collected using an electrostatic extraction system to determine the 2D transverse profile of the primary beam. The most commonly used gases for the jet are neon and nitrogen. The signal from the gas jet is always super-imposed with the signal resulting from residual gases in the interaction chamber. CST simulations indicate that the gas jet speed is a key factor for the separation of the jet and the residual gas signals. To obtain a good signal separation, one can increase the velocity of the gas jet. This can be accomplished by generating a gas jet that mixes heavier and lighter gases. This contribution gives a general overview of the monitor design, discusses the effects of gas mixing and CST simulation results. It also presents experimental results obtained with Helium, and Nitrogen, as well as a mixture of them using different percentages and the impact on measurement resolution.

  The isotope group at Jefferson Lab is carrying out R&D for producing medically interesting radioisotopes, especially those with theranostic (therapeutic and diagnostic) attributes. Here the search for viable production mechanisms has been expanded to multi-step reactions where a daughter is produced from the target and decays into a medically interesting granddaughter radioisotope. It is difficult to find efficient production routes when investigating both the initial excitation reaction as well as the decay routes leading to medically interesting isotopes. The overall goal of this project is to create a structured code in Python to find these decay routes by automatically exploring the large number of isotopes and their possible decay modes. The program structure is described, and preliminary results are presented.

TUPAB410 Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Validation of Low-Pressure Beam Windows for XCET Detectors at CERN experiment, Windows, detector, photon 2487

  In the framework of the renovation and consolidation of experimental areas at CERN, a low-pressure design beam superimposed windows (250 µm Mylar and 150 µm polyethylene) for the Threshold Cherenkov counters (XCET) has been modelled and verified for its implementation. The XCET is a detector used to count the number of selected charged particles in the beam by adjusting the pressure that leads to the emission of Cherenkov photons only above certain pressure threshold. Simultaneously, the charged particles pass from a vacuum environment to the pressurized refractive gas vessel through a solid interface. Minimal material in this solid interface is therefore crucial to avoid interactions of the low-energy particles which may lead to beam intensity loss or background production. Hence, thin and low-density materials are required to mitigate multiple scattering and energy loss of the incoming particles while still allowing the needed pressures inside the counter vessel. A XCET validation methodology was conducted using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), followed by experimental validations performing burst pressure tests and using Digital Image Correlation (DIC).

  The SuperKEKB electron-positron collider began collision operation in 2018 and achieved the world-record luminosity of 2.4x1034~cm-2s-1 in June 2020. We pursue higher luminosity by squeezing beam sizes and increasing beam currents. Beam backgrounds induced by stray particles will also increase and might cause severe radiation damage to Belle II detector components and worsen the quality of collected physics data. To mitigate these backgrounds, we have carefully designed our interaction region and installed movable collimators in the machine. We present recent measurements of beam background at SuperKEKB. We have performed dedicated machine studies to measure each background component separately and found that beam-gas scattering and Touschek scattering in the positron ring are the dominant sources of background rates in Belle II. We also present the latest observations of injection background, which determines the timing of a required Belle II data acquisition trigger veto and therefore affects the integrated luminosity. We show the beam background extrapolation toward the expected higher-luminosity operation and our plans for further background mitigation.

The FCC-ee is a proposed future high-energy, high-intensity and high precision lepton collider. Here, we present the latest developments for the FCC-ee interaction regions, which shall ensure optimum conditions for the particle physics experiments. We discuss measures of background reduction and a revised interaction region layout including a low impedance compact beam chamber design. We also discuss the possible impact of the radiation generated in the interaction region including beamstrahlung.

THPAB003 Application of Generalized Gaussian Distribution in the Processing the Wire Scanner Data emittance, hadron, linac, electron 3759

  Wire scanners are widely used for measuring beam emittance in both electron and hadron accelerators. Gaussian fitting is the most commonly used method in processing the wire scanner data. But in hadron machines, beams are normally not gaussian distribution due to the action of nonlinear forces such as space charge effect. Under these circumstances, there would be big deviations if the wire scanner data was still fitted with gaussian distributions. This paper introduces generalized Gaussian distribution in the processing the wire scanner data measured in the ADS injector-I. The results using different fitting method will be compared.
