A regression machine learning algorithm was applied to analyze the operation data of RHIC with electron cooler LEReC during the 2020 physics run. After constructing a black-box surrogate model from the XGBoost algorithm and plotting their partial dependency plots for different operation parameters, we can find the effects of an individual parameter on the RHIC luminosity and optimize it accordingly offline.

  We apply square matrix method to obtain in high speed a "convergence map", which is similar but different from frequency map. The convergence map is obtained from solving nonlinear dynamical equation by iteration of perturbation method and study the convergence. The map provides information about the stability border of dynamical aperture. We compare the map with frequency map from tracking. The result indicates the new method may be applied in nonlinear lattice optimization, taking the advantage of the high speed (about 10~50 times faster) to explore x, y and the off-momentum phase space.

  The formula relevant for linear optics design of synchrotrons are derived systematically from first principles, i.e., an exercise in Hamiltonian dynamics. Equipped with these, the relevant use cases are then captured; for a streamlined approach. To enable professionals, i.e., software engineers, to efficiently prototype & architect a CAD tool available to mechanical engineers since the mid-1960s. In other words, robust design of a modern synchrotron is an exercise in/pursuit of the art of Engineering-Science.

  Synchrotron light sources are user facilities and usually run about 5000 hours per year to support many beamlines operations in parallel. Reliability is a key parameter to evaluate machine performance. Even many facilities have achieved >95% beam reliability, there are still many hours of unscheduled downtime and every hour lost is a waste of operation costs along with a big impact on individual scheduled user experiments. Preventive maintenance on subsystems and quick recovery from machine trips are the basic strategies to achieve high reliability, which heavily depends on experts’ dedication. Recently, SLAC, APS, and NSLS-II collaborated to develop machine-learning-based approaches aiming to solve both situations, hardware failure prediction and machine failure diagnosis to find the root sources. In this paper, we report our facility operation status, development progress, and plans.

  Feasibility of applying MIK/sextupole injection at TPS is evaluated in this study. This study adopts layout similar to MAX IV injection scheme and their collaboration project with SOLEIL for MIK. Although the light source service fulfills present user needs, yet the increasing demands for a transparent injection is inevitable in the foreseeable future. Notice that this preliminary study is constrained under routine user operation, the optional pinger ceramic chamber, located between existing injection kicker-3 and kicker-4, is chosen for the purpose. Kick strength requirement of the MIK is estimated with minor trajectory adjustment upstream at the booster to storage ring transfer line. Since the realization of MIK fabrication takes time, therefore a fast-built sextupole is prepared to examine the proposed injection scheme beforehand. The test result will be described in this report.

  It has been technically challenging to efficiently couple external radiofrequency (RF) power to cylindrical dielectric-loaded accelerating (DLA) structures. This is especially true when the DLA structure has a high dielectric constant. This contribution presents a novel design of a matching section for coupling the RF power from a circular waveguide to an X-band DLA structure with a dielectric constant εr=16.66 and a loss tangent \tanθ = 3.43× 10-5. It consists of a very compact dielectric disk with a width of 2.035 mm and a tilt angle of 60 degrees, resulting in a broadband coupling at a low RF field which has the potential to survive in the high-power environment. To prevent a sharp dielectric corner break, a 45-degree chamfer is added. Moreover, a microscale vacuum gap, caused by metallic clamping between the thin coating and the outer thick copper jacket, is studied in detail. Based on simulation studies, a prototype of the DLA structure with the matching sections was fabricated. Results from preliminary bench measurements and their comparison with design values will also be discussed.

C-Band structures research is of increasing interest to the accelerator community. The RF frequency range of 4-6 GHz gives the opportunity to achieve significant increase in the accelerating gradient, and having the wakefields at the manageable levels, while keeping the geometric dimensions of the structure technologically convenient. Strong team of scientists, including theorists researching properties of metals under stressful thermal conditions and high electromagnetic fields, metallurgists working with copper as well as alloys of interest, and accelerator scientists developing new structure designs, is formed at LANL to develop a CERF-NM facility. A 50 MW, 5.712 GHz Canon klystron, was purchased in 2019, and laid the basis for this facility. As of Jan-21, the construction of the Test Stand has been finished and the high gradient processing of the waveguide components has been started. Future plans include high gradient testing of various accelerating structures, including benchmark C-band accelerating cavity, a proton ß=0.5 cavity, and cavities made from different alloys. An upgrade to the facility is planned to allow for testing accelerator cavities at cryogenic temperatures.

Wakefields in dielectric structures are a useful tool for beam diagnostics and manipulation with applications including acceleration, shaping, chirping, and THz radiation generation. It is possible to use the produced THz radiation to diagnose the fields produced during the DWA interaction but, to do so, it is necessary to effectively out-couple this radiation to free space for transport to diagnostics such as a bolometer or interferometer. To this end, simulations have been conducted using CST Studio for a 10 GeV beam with FACET-II parameters in a slab-symmetric, dielectric waveguide. Various termination geometries were studied including flat cuts, metal horns, and the "Vlasov antenna". Simulations indicate that the Vlasov antenna geometry is optimal and detailed studies were conducted on a variety of dielectrics including quartz, diamond, and silicon. Multiple modes were excited and coherent Cherenkov radiation (CCR) was computationally generated for both symmetric and asymmetric beams. Finally, we include witness beams to study transport and acceleration dynamics as well as the achievable field gradients.

A typical accelerating structure is a set of copper resonators brazed together. This multi step process is expensive and time consuming. In an effort to optimize production process for rapid prototyping and overall reduction of accelerator cost we developed a split block brazeless accelerating structure. In such structure the vacuum is sealed by the use of knife edges, similar to an industry standard conflat technology. In this paper we present high power tests of several different brazeless structures. First, an inexpensive 1 MeV accelerator powered by radar magnetron. Second, a high gradient power extractor tested at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility. In this experiment a high charge electron beam generated a 180 MW peak power pulse. Finally, we report on high power testing of a brazeless x-band accelerating structure at SLAC.

A theoretical investigation of a wakefield excitation in a plasma-dielectric accelerating structure by a drive electron bunch in the case of an off-axis bunch injection is carried out. The structure under investigation is a round dielectric-loaded metal waveguide with channel for the charged particles, filled with homogeneous cold plasma. In this paper we focus on the spatial distribution of the bunch-excited wakefield components, which act on both the drive and test bunches, and on transverse bunch dynamics. Dependence of the drive bunch propagation distance on its offset is studied.

MOPAB215 Using ICA for Retrieving Teng Parameters coupling, factory, optics, FEL 711

    GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
 
  The blind source separation (BSS) method of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is explored as a new approach for the reconstruction of the transfer matrix of Linear Coupling Parameterization. ICA is a method to detangle independent signals out of several measurements of their mixtures. In BSS-calculations, it is usually not possible to retrieve the mixing matrix, for the source signals, as well as the matrix, are unknown. Combining the parameterization model of D.A. Edwards and L.C. Teng with the standard ICA approach, it is though possible to retrieve the mixing matrix, as the form of the original uncoupled motion is known. At the same time arises the possibility to recalculate the parameters of Edwards and Teng through a system of equations of the one turn map components. It can be shown as a proof of concept, that the parameters can be reconstructed up to high accuracy for a simulated, non-perturbed signal.

  Gas jet based profile monitors inject a usually curtain shaped gas jet across a charged particle beam and exploit the results of the minimally invasive beam-gas interaction to provide information about the beam’s transversal profile. Such monitor will be installed as part of the High Luminosity LHC upgrade at CERN in the Hollow Electron Lens (HEL). The HEL represents a new collimation stage increasing the diffusion rate of halo particles by placing a high intensity hollow electron beam concentrically around the LHC beam. The gas jet monitor will use the fluorescence radiation resulting due to the beam-gas interaction to create an image of the profiles of both hollow electron and LHC beams However, the high beam space-charge and strong guiding magnetic field of the electron beam cause significant displacements of the excited molecules, as they are also ionized, and thus image distortions. This work presents preliminary simulation results showing expected fluorescence images of the hollow electron profile as affected by space-charge and guiding fields using simulation tools such as IPMsim. The influence of the estimated electron beam and gas jet curtain parameters are investigated.

MOPAB291 Design of Cavity BPM Pickup for EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB cavity, coupling, pick-up, simulation 924
 
  • Sh. Bilanishvili
    INFN/LNF, Frascati (Roma), Italy
 
  EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB will make available at LNF a unique combination offering three different options. A high-brightness electron beam with 1 GeV energy generated in a novel X-band RF linac; A PW-class laser system, and a compact light-source directly driven by a plasma accelerator*. Plasma and conventional RF linac driven FEL provide beam with parameters of 30- 200pC charge range, 10-100Hz repetition rate, and 1 GeV electron energy**. The control of the charge and the trajectory monitoring at a few pC and a few um is mandatory in this machine. Particularly in the plasma interaction region, where the pickup resolution under 1 um is required. As a possible solution, a cavity beam position monitor (cBPM) is proposed. A prototype in the C-band frequency range has been designed. The pickup was optimized for low charge and single-shot bunches. The poster presents the process to achieve the required specifications. The simulations were performed to study RF properties and the electromagnetic response of the device. Finally, the overall performance of the pickup is discussed, and theoretical resolution is approximated.

  A fast tune measurement is developed for the Cooler Synchrotron COSY at the Institut für Kernphysik of Forschungszentrum Jülich. Betatron oscillations of the beam are excited with a band-limited RF signal via a stripline kicker. Resonant transverse oscillations are then observed using capacitive beam position monitors. Based on the bunch-by-bunch beam position data the betatron tune is determined. The usage of bunch-by-bunch data is characteristic of the new system. It allows for a discrete tune measurement within a few milliseconds, as well as continuous tune monitoring during beam acceleration. The high precision tune measurement also enables determination of the beam chromaticity. Therefore, the beam momentum is varied by means of the RF frequency and the subsequent tune change is determined. For routine use during beam operation and experiments, the developed method is integrated into the control system.

High-energy nuclear physics experiments at the Jefferson Lab Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) require highly spin-polarization electron beams, produced from strained super-lattice GaAs photocathodes, activated to negative electron affinity in a photogun operating at 130 kV dc. A pair of Wien filter spin rotators in the injector defines the orientation of the electron beam polarization at the end station target. An upgrade of the CEBAF injector to better support the upcoming MOLLER experiment requires increasing the electron beam energy to 200 keV, to reduce unwanted helicity correlated intensity and position systematics and provide precise control of the polarization orientation. Our contribution describes design, fabrication and testing of the high voltage system to upgrade the Wien spin rotator to be compatible with the 200 keV beam. This required Solidworks modeling, CST and Opera electro- and magnetostatic simulations, upgrading HV vacuum feedthroughs, and assembly techniques for improving electrode alignment. The electric and magnetic fields required by the Wien condition and the successful HV characterization under vacuum conditions are also presented.

Multipacting in accelerating structures is a complex phenomenon with which there is much to be understood. While multipacting research efforts have primarily been focused on superconducting radio frequency (SRF) systems, normal conducting accelerating structures that have a higher thermal capacity and a greater vacuum pressure tolerance could benefit from additional investigation. This research details multipacting simulation methods and the results of 3-D electromagnetic simulations of RF vacuum windows used on normal conducting linac (NCL) cavities. Possible techniques for reducing and eliminating multipacting activities in these structures are discussed.

This poster will report the results of high gradient testing of the two proton β=0.5 C-band accelerating cavities. The cavities for proton acceleration were fabricated at SLAC and tested at high gradient C-band accelerator test stand at LANL. One cavity was made of copper, and the second was made of a copper-silver alloy. LANL test stand was constructed around a 50 MW, 5.712 GHz Canon klystron and is capable to provide power for conditioning single cell accelerating cavities for operation at surface electric fields up to 300 MV/m. These β=0.5 C-band cavities were the first two cavities tested on LANL C-band test stand. The presentation will report achieved gradients, breakdown probabilities, and other characteristics measured during the high power operation.

This poster will report on the design, fabrication, and operation status of the new high gradient C-band TM01 mode launchers for the high gradient C-band test stand at LANL. Modern applications require accelerators with optimized cost of construction and operation, naturally calling for high-gradient acceleration. At LANL we commissioned a test stand powered by a 50 MW, 5.712 GHz Canon klystron. The test is capable of conditioning single cell accelerating cavities for operation at surface electric fields up to 300 MV/m. The rf field is coupled into the cavity from a WR187 waveguide through a mode launcher that converts the fundamental mode of the rectangular waveguide into the TM01 mode of the circular waveguide. Several designs for mode launchers were considered and the final design was chosen based on a compromise between the field enhancements, bandwidth, and simplicity and cost of fabrication. Four mode launchers were fabricated and cold-tested. Two mode launchers with the best transmission characteristics were installed and conditioned to high power. The presentation will report achieved gradients, breakdown probabilities, and other characteristics measured during operation.

  In the new generation of particle accelerators and storage rings, collective effects have to be carefully analyzed. In particular, the finite conductivity of the beam pipe walls is a major source of impedance and instabilities. A reliable electromagnetic (EM) characterisation of different coating materials is required up to hundreds of GHz due to very short bunches. We propose two different measurement techniques for an extended frequency characterization: (i) a THz time domain setup based on the signal transmission response of a tailored waveguide to infer the coating EM properties from 100 to 300 GHz or even further*.**. This technique has been tested both on NEG and amorphous Carbon films. (ii) a resonant method, based on dielectric cavities, to evaluate the surface resistance Rs of thin conducting samples at low (GHz) frequencies***. Due to its high sensitivity, Rs values can be obtained for very thin (nanometric) coatings or for copper samples with a laser treated surface, since they have an expected conductivity very close to bulk copper.

  Two versions of 2.5 MeV X-Band linear accelerator structure have been designed and tested. The first is a traditional single input linac, and the other one is a dual input, two section linac with power input through a 3 dB coupler. The linac is designed for a portable linac system, which can be used for security screening, non-destructive testing, medical and industrial CT, and, perhaps, some other applications.

  In January 2017, a Salt Lake City Component Division of Varian Medical (Varian)*, producer of X-ray tubes, detectors, and imaging panels has been spun off, giving birth to a new public company Varex Imaging Corporation (Varex)**, which also includes the Security and Inspection Products (SIP) linac producer in Las Vegas. Based on Varian asset acquisition of two small LLCs*** in May 2016, 8 months prior to the transition, a new business branch within Varex has been established, which included distribution of the betatrons and detector arrays as well as pilot production line for Accelerator Beam Centerlines (ABC). In 3 years, we moved ABC production from Fremont, CA to Salt Lake in Utah and improved it; several ABCs have been designed, produced, and qualified. A number of new products in energy range of 1-20 MeV are under development, based on the new ABCs used as components for SIP linear accelerator systems and ABCs sold to third parties for applications other than Security and NDT. The new products will brag broad energy and dose rate regulation, smooth and reliable operation, providing extended benefits to our customers.

The Low Energy RHIC electron Cooler (LEReC) is the first electron cooler based on rf acceleration of electron bunches. To further improve RHIC luminosity for heavy ion beam energies below 10 GeV/nucleon, a normal conducting RF cavity at 1.4 GHz was designed and fabricated for the LINAC that will provide longer electron bunches for the LEReC. It is a single-cell cavity with an effective cavity length shorter than half of the 1.4 GHz wavelength. This cavity was fabricated and tested on-site at BNL to verify RF properties, i.e. the resonance frequency, FPC coupling strength, tuner system performance, and high power tests. In this paper, we report the RF test results for this cavity.

  The CLIC main linac uses X-band traveling-wave normal conducting accelerating structures. The RF power not used for beam acceleration nor dissipated in the resistive wall is absorbed in two high power RF loads that should be as compact as possible to minimize the total footprint of the machine. In recent years, CERN has designed, fabricated and successfully tested several loads produced by additive manufacturing. With the current design, only one load can be produced in the 3D printing machine at a time. The aim of this study is optimizing the internal cross-section of loads in order to create a stackable design to increase the number of produced parts per manufacturing cycle and thus decrease the unit price. This paper presents the new design with an optimization of the internal vacuum part of the so-called RF spiral load. In this case, RF and mechanical designs were carried out in parallel. The new cross section has showed good RF reflection reaching less than -30 dB in simulations. The final load is now ready to be manufactured and high-power tested. This new load will not only provide cost saving but also faster manufacturing for mass production.

Efficient acceleration and manipulation of high-brightness electron beams using terahertz waves in a compact setup has been recently a hot research topic in acceleration community. Previous works have achieved multi-MV/m acceleration gradient and dozens of keV energy gain while leaving room for further improvements in the high-energy regime. Here, we experimentally demonstrate whole-bunch acceleration and cascaded terahertz-driven acceleration of a relativistic beam with a record energy gain of 204 keV. A terahertz-driven all-optical electron source is now under development, which hold great potential for terahertz-driven ultrafast electron diffraction and related scientific discoveries.

We have developed a THz-driven field emission electron gun and beam characterization assembly. The two cell standing-wave gun operates in the pi mode at 110.08 GHz. It is designed to produce 360 keV electrons with 500 kW of input power supplied by a 110 GHz gyrotron. Multiple gun structures were electroformed in copper using a high precision diamond-turned mandrel. The field emission cathode is a rounded copper tip located in the first cell. The cavity resonances were mechanically tuned using azimuthal compression. This work will discuss details of the fabrication and tuning and present the results of low power measurements.

TUPAB077 Novel Open Cavity for Rotating Mode SLED-Type RF Pulse Compressors cavity, coupling, klystron, linear-collider 1547
 
  • X.W. Wu, A. Grudiev

  A new X-band high-power rotating mode SLAC Energy Doubler (SLED)-type rf pulse compressor is proposed. It is based on a novel cavity type, a single open bowl-shape energy storage cavity with high Q0 and compact size, which is coupled to the waveguide using a compact rotating mode launcher. The novel cavity type is applied to the rf pulse compression system of the main linac rf module of the klystron-based option of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). Quasi-spherical rotating modes of \rm{TE}1,2,4 and \rm{TE}1,2,13 are proposed for the correction cavity and storage cavity of the rf pulse compression system respectively. The storage cavity working at \rm{TE}1,2,13 has a Q0 of 240000 and a diameter less than 33 cm. The design of the pulse compressor and in particular of the high-Q cavity will be presented in detail.

  EURPRAXIA@SPARC\LAB, is a proposal to upgrade the SPARC\LAB test facility (at LNF, Frascati) to a soft X-ray user facility based on plasma acceleration and high-gradient X-band (11.9942 GHz) accelerating modules. Each module is made up of a group of 4 TW sections assembled on a single girder and fed by one klystron by means of one rf pulse compressor system and a low attenuation circular waveguide network that transports the rf power to the input hybrids of the sections. The pulse compressor is based on a single Barrel Open Cavity (BOC). The BOC use a ’whispering gallery’ mode which has an intrinsically high quality factor and operates in a resonant rotating wave regime. Compared to the conventional SLED scheme it requires a single cavity instead of two cavities and a 3-dB hybrid. A new brazeless mechanical design has been proposed and is described in the present paper together with the electro-magnetic and thermo-mechanical simulations.

Next generation accelerators demand sophisticated beam sources to reach ultra-low emittances at large accelerating gradients, along with improved optics to transport these beams without degradation. Capillary discharge plasmas can address each of these challenges. As sources, capillaries have been shown to increase the energy and quality of wakefield accelerators, and as active plasma lenses they provide orders-of-magnitude increases in peak magnetic field. Capillaries are sensitive to energy deposition, heat transfer, ionization dynamics, and magnetic field penetration; therefore, capillary design requires careful modeling. We present simulations of capillary discharge plasmas using FLASH, a publicly-available multi-physics code developed at the University of Chicago. We report on the implementation of 2D and 3D models of capillary plasma density and temperature evolution with realistic boundary and discharge conditions. We then demonstrate laser energy deposition to model channel formation for guiding intense laser pulses. Lastly, we examine active capillary plasmas with varying fill species and compare our simulations against experimental studies.

We investigate the electromagnetic radiation of a bunch moving along a corrugated conductive surface. It is assumed that wavelengths under consideration are much more than the period of the corrugation. In this case, the corrugated structure can be replaced with a smooth surface on which so-called equivalent boundary conditions (EBC) are fulfilled*. In fact, we deal with anisotropic surface characterized by certain matrix impedance. Here, we consider the case of deep corrugation, i.e. we assume that the depth of the structure is much more than its period (the case of shallow corrugation was studied earlier**). Using the EBC we obtain electromagnetic field components which are presented in form of spectral integrals. It is shown that the bunch generates surface waves propagating in the plane of the structure, whereas volume radiation is absent at the frequencies under consideration. We also consider the energy losses of the bunch. Typical dependences of a spectral density of the energy losses on corrugation parameters are obtained and analyzed. It is demonstrated that the features of the surface waves can be used for the bunch diagnostics.

  Hollow core dielectric microstructures powered by lasers represent a new and promising area of accelerator research thanks to the higher damage threshold and accelerating gradients with respect to metals at optical wavelengths. In this paper we present the design of a dielectric Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) mode converter for high-power coupling of the accelerating mode in Dielectric Laser Accelerators (DLAs). The design is wavelength-independent, and here we propose an implementation operating at 90.505 GHz (wavelength 3.3 mm) based on a silicon woodpile structure. The coupler is composed by two perpendicularly coupled hollow-core waveguides: a TE-like mode waveguide (excited from RF/laser power) and a TM-like mode accelerating waveguide. The structure has been numerically designed and optimized, presenting Insertion Losses (IL) < 0.3 dB and an efficient mode conversion in the operating bandwidth. The properties and effectiveness of the confined accelerating mode have been optimized in order to derive the needed accelerating gradient. The simulated electric field has been used as input for Astra beam-dynamics simulations in order to compute the beam properties.

Contemporary beam and THz technologies are tightly interlaced during last years. Strong THz fields allow realization of THz driven electron guns, THz bunch compression, streaking* and THz driven wakefield acceleration**. Inversely, dielectric capillaries similar to those used for THz bunch manipulation can be in turn utilized for development of high-power narrow-band THz sources***. Mentioned cases involve interaction of THz waves and particle bunches with an open end of certain dielectric loaded waveguide structure, most frequently a circular capillary. For further development of the discussed prospective topics a rigorous approach allowing analytical investigation of both radiation from open-ended capillaries and their excitation by external source would be extremely useful. We present an elegant and efficient rigorous method for solving circular open-ended dielectric-loaded waveguide diffraction problems based on Wiener-Hopf technique. We deal with the case of uniform dielectric loading and internal excitation by a waveguide mode. S-parameters, near-field and far-field distributions are presented. The obtained results can be also applied to the narrow band wakefield.

  The properties of the transverse impedance of a dielectric-loaded metallic circular waveguide are investigated taking into account losses in the outer metallic pipe and in the inner dielectric layer. The dispersion relations, impedances, and wake functions for dipole modes are analyzed and compared for thin and thick dielectric layer cases. The correspondence of the resonant frequencies of the longitudinal monopole and transverse dipole impedances is established.

  Given the high radiation area and the tight alignment tolerances, the LHC inner triplet magnets were designed to be realigned remotely using motorized supporting jacks. However, during run 2 the LHC triplet realignment system started to show an unexpected behavior with erratic load variations on the magnet supporting jacks when operated. It was then decided to freeze any further realignment of the LHC triplet magnet for the remainder of the run. Subsequently, a project team was set up at CERN to understand better the conditions leading to such unexpected behavior and to study and propose a technical consolidation for the realignment system of the LHC triplet magnet. A fully instrumented magnet string using LHC triplet spare magnets was assembled and used at CERN to provide a realistic test bench for this study. This paper reports on the work undertaken to study the triplet magnet overall realignment kinematic, the findings on the readjustment system malfunction and details the consolidation solution implemented for the next LHC run

  A 500-MHz 150-kW solid-state power amplifier (SSA) has been developed to test the 500-MHz normal conducting cavities for High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) booster ring. It will also be used to power normal conducting cavities in the initial beam commissioning stage of the HEPS storage ring. A total number of 96 amplifier modules are combined initially by coaxial and later by waveguide combiners to deliver the 150-kW RF power. The final output is of EIA standard WR1800 rectangular waveguide. Each amplifier module consists four transistors equipped with individual circulator and load and outputs 2-kW RF power. Modularity, redundancy and satisfactory RF performance are demonstrated. In the final stage of HEPS project, this 150-kW amplifier will be modified to a 100-kW amplifier to join the other five 100-kW SSAs for normal operation of the booster cavities. The development and test results are presented in this paper.

The scheme of using high-efficiency magnetrons to drive radiofrequency accelerators has been demonstrated at 2450 MHz in CW mode *. Magnetron test stands at JLab and GA have been set up to further test the noise figure and the locking speed of the injection phase-lock method. For higher power applications, power combining experiments using a TM010 cavity-type combiner and a magic tee for the binary combiner while using a single clean injection signal has been carried out at 2450 MHz. The frequency pulling effect between the magnetron and a low-Q cavity has been shown to enhance the frequency locking bandwidth compared to the injection phase-lock alone. The principle has been studied by the equivalent circuit simulation, analytical model, and finally confirmed experimentally on the magnetrons. Due to the pandemic delay in 2020, the equivalent high power tests using a 75kW, 915MHz industrial magnetron will be done in 2021 and will be reported in a future paper.

  Development effort is underway on a 352MHz, 200kW solid state rf system intended as the base design to replace the existing klystron-based rf systems presently in use at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). A sixteen-input, 200kW final combining cavity was designed, built, and successfully tested to 29kW CW in combiner mode, and to 200kW CW in back-feed mode, where an external klystron was used to transmit power into the combining cavity. A four-port waveguide combiner was also tested in both backfeed and combiner mode to 193kW and 26kW respectively. Slow and fast interlock systems were designed and implemented to support the testing process. An EPICS and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)-based system was developed to control, communicate with, and monitor the rf amplifiers used in the combiner-mode test, and to monitor and log system performance parameters relating to the combining cavity. Low-level rf control of the cavity in 29kW combiner-mode operation was achieved using the existing APS analog low-level rf hardware. Test data and design details are presented.

WEXA05 Solving for Collider Beam Profiles from Luminosity Jitter with Ghost Imaging luminosity, collider, operation, diagnostics 2524
 
  • D.F. Ratner, A. Chao
    SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
 
  Large accelerator facilities must balance the need to achieve user performance requirements while also maximizing delivery time. At the same time, accelerators have advanced data-acquisition systems that acquire synchronous data at high-rate from a large variety of diagnostics. Here we discuss the application of ghost-imaging (GI) to measure beam parameters, switching the emphasis from beam control to data collection: rather than intentionally manipulating the accelerator, we instead passively monitor jitter gathered over thousands to millions of events to reconstruct the target of interest. Passive monitoring during routine operation builds large data sets that can even deliver higher resolution than brief periodic scans, and can provide experiments with event-by-event information. In this presentation we briefly present applications of GI to light-sources, and then discuss a potential new application for colliders: measuring the transverse beam shapes at a collider’s interaction point to determine both the integrated luminosity and the spatial distribution of collision vertices.

  In 2016, the installation of the European XFEL was completed and its 26 RF stations started operation in 2017. Each RF station consists of a 10 MW-1.3 GHz-multibeam klystron, a HV pulse modulator and a waveguide system to supply the superconducting cavities and the normal-conducting electron gun with RF power. During commissioning and subsequent operation, the RF stations were closely monitored and causes of failures were investigated. For the optimisation of the RF systems, the various RF station failures were evaluated according to their impact on accelerator operation and the measures to eliminate them were prioritised accordingly. This report describes the operation experience and improvements of the high-power RF stations during the first 4 years of operation.

Corrugated and dielectric structures have been widely used for producing accelerator based terahertz radiation source. Recently, the novel schemes of the sub-terahertz free electron laser (FEL) from a metallic waveguide with corrugated walls and a normal dielectric loaded waveguide driven by a near-relativistic (beam energy of a few MeV) picosecond electron beam were studied respectively. Such a beam is used for driving resonant modes in the waveguide, and if the pipe is long enough, the interaction of these modes with the co-propagating electron beam will result in micro-bunching and the coherent enhancement of the wakefield radiation. It offers a promising candidate for compact accelerator-based high power terahertz source which can be realized with relatively low energy and low peak-current electron beams. However the choices of the waveguide above is less effective in order to obtain high power with frequency around 1THz. In this paper, we propose to use the waveguide with a thin dielectric layer instead, and high power radiation (>~10 MW) around 1 THz is expected to obtain in the proposed structure according to the simulation results.

WEPAB144 A New Flux Concentrator Made of Cu Alloy for the SuperKEKB Positron Source positron, operation, vacuum, target 2954

  Flux concentrator (FC) is one of important device for positron source which translates position and momentum spread of the particles adiabatically to match them to the acceptance of the following section. To realize higher positron yield, higher magnetic field is desired. However, higher field by higher current generate stronger force on the coil. Since the gap between each turn of the coil is as narrow as 0.2 mm and the voltage across them is about as high as 1 kV at the design current, slight deformation of the coil cause discharge between the gap. To avoid such problem, a new FC made of Cu alloy which has 40 times higher yield strength than that of pure Cu was designed and tested. Finally, during summer shutdown in 2020, the old FC made of pure Cu was replaced by the new one made of Cu alloy in the KEK electron positron injector linac. The new one has been working stably at the design current, 12 kA, since Oct. 2020, and positron yield of 0.5 was realized. There were no discharge and other trouble till now.

WEPAB165 Metamaterial Waveguide HOM Loads for SRF Accelerating Cavities HOM, vacuum, cavity, SRF 2994
 
  • S.V. Kuzikov
    Euclid TechLabs, Solon, Ohio, USA
 
  Suppression of beam induced HOMs is necessary for most SRF accelerating cavities driven with high currents. One of the problems in design of a HOM load is that vacuum compatible materials with high enough imaginary part of the dielectric permittivity, which provides absorption, have also a high real part of the permittivity. This does not allow absorbing RF radiation at short distance and in broad frequency band. We propose considering artificial metamaterials where besides lossy dielectric pieces, an absorber with high magnetic permeability is included. In our proposal, we suggest composing a waveguide HOM load of a metamaterial consisted of well-known ceramic and ferrite plates placed periodically in a stack. Such a design provides low return losses, compactness and broad frequency range of the operation.

  Until 2018, the limited firefighting means in the SPS complex largely exposed it to the consequences of self-ignition or accidental fire. In 2015 the SPS Fire Safety project was launched with the objective of improving life safety and property protection by deploying a whole set of automatic actions to protect SPS in case of fire outbreak. If nothing was done, an unmanaged fire could be a threat to lives of those working underground and could mean losing a vast majority of the SPS machine and its equipment. In 2020, CERN has completed the consolidation of its SPS fire safety systems. Among these, a water based sprinkler system, following principles of standard industrial design but customized and tailor-made for SPS and its irradiated areas, is ready to operate. The system must take into account limitations related to the presence of fragile accelerator equipment, radioactive zones, integration constraints and comply with European norms, in particular EN12845. This paper presents the risk assessment, our experience from the planning and installation phase while discussing the custom-chosen and radiation tested equipment to end up with the lessons learned and outlook for the future.

  At the ELBE accelerator center a superconducting linac is operated to drive manifold secondary radiation sources like two infrared FELs, a positron source and a THz facility. The machine uses two injectors as electron sources that are accelerated in the main linac. The user experiments demand a large variety of bunch patterns from single shot to macro pulsed and cw beam at up to 26 MHz repetition rate. At ELBE a new timing system is being developed based on the MRF hardware platform and the MRF Timing System IOC. It uses two masters and a scalable number of connected receivers to generate the desired pulse patterns for operating the machine and to control user experiments. The contribution will show the architecture of the timing system, the control interfacing and performance measurements acquired on the test bench.

In the framework of LATINO project (Laboratory in Advanced Technologies for INnOvation) funded by Lazio regional government, a TEst stand for X-band (TEX) is being commissioned at Frascati National Laboratories (LNF) of INFN. TEX is born as a collaboration with CERN, aimed at carrying out high power tests of X-band accelerating structure prototypes and waveguide components, and it is of paramount importance in view of the construction of EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB facility at LNF. In order to generate, manipulate and measure the RF pulses needed to feed the RF power unit (solid state ScandiNova K400 modulator, CPI 50 MW 50 Hz klystron) an X-band low level RF system has been developed, making use of a commercial S-band (2.856 GHz) Libera digital LLRF (manufactured by Instrumentation Technologies) with a newly designed up/down conversion stage and a reference generation/distribution system, which is able to produce coherent reference frequencies for the American S-band (2.856 GHz) and European X-band (11.994 GHz). In this paper the main features of such systems will be reviewed together with preliminary laboratory measurement results.

Optimization algorithms/techniques such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Gaussian process (GP) have been widely used in the accelerator field to tackle complex design/online optimization problems. However, connecting the algorithm with the optimization problem can be difficult, sometimes even unrealistic, since the algorithms and problems could be implemented in different languages, might require specific resources, or have physical constraints. We introduce an optimization platform named Teeport that is developed to address the above issue. This real-time communication (RTC) based platform is particularly designed to minimize the effort of integrating the algorithms and problems. Once integrated, the users are granted a rich feature set, such as monitoring, controlling, and benchmarking. Some real-life applications of the platform are also discussed.

We report the status of the development of an High Power RF Laboratory in X-Band called TEX (TEst-stand for X-Band). TEX is part of the LATINO (Laboratory in Advanced Technologies for INnOvation) initiative that is ongoing at the Frascati National Laboratories (LNF) of the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) that covers many different areas focused on particle accelerator technologies. TEX is a RF test facility based on solid-state K400 modulator from ScandiNova with a 50MW class X-band (11.996 GHz) klystron tube model vkx 8311a operating at 50 Hz. This RF source will operate as resource for test and research programs such as the RF breakdown on RF waveguide components as well as high power testing of accelerating structures for future high gradient linear accelerator such as EuPRAXIA and CLIC. The high power testing will be performed in a dedicated brand-new bunker that has been recently built. RF system, vacuum controls and safety equipments are currently being installed. The first accelerating structure testing is scheduled by beginning 2022. In this document design and tests for all the sub-systems of the facility will be presented and discussed.

  In Accelerator technology, RF power couplers are important component to couple RF signal to travelling wave structure. Circular waveguide TM01 mode is one of the symmetric modes, that is suitable to use for RF coupling. TM01 mode launcher is used as an RF coupler in Accelerator technology*. Design of a compact circular waveguide TM01 mode-launcher is presented in this paper. The design is based on the principle of magnetic field coupling between a wire loop and TM01 mode of circular waveguide. The mode launcher exhibits high efficiency and 3.1% bandwidth at 3.2 GHz frequency with both circular and elliptical loop. Performance of the mode launcher is experimentally verified and simulated S-parameters agree with the measured results. The mode launcher is of compact size and is suitable for efficient excitation of TM01 mode in circular waveguide and travelling wave structures. The launcher is also useful for cold testing of high power microwave antennas and Radars.

  The first Southern Hemisphere X-band Laboratory for Accelerators and Beams (X-LAB) is under construction at the University of Melbourne, and it will operate CERN X-band test stand containing two 12GHz 6MW klystron amplifiers. By power combination through hybrid couplers and the use of pulse compressors, up to 50 MW of peak power can be sent to any of 2 test slots at pulse repetition rates up to 400 Hz. The test stand is dedicated to RF conditioning and testing CLIC’s high gradient accelerating structures beyond 100 MV/m. It will also form the basis for developing a compact accelerator for medical applications, such as radiotherapy and compact light sources. Australian researchers working as part of a collaboration between the University of Melbourne, international universities, national industries, the Australian Synchrotron -ANSTO, Canadian Light Source and the CERN believe that creating a laboratory for novel accelerator research in Australia could drive technological and medical innovation.

  The R&D of high gradient radiofrequency devices is aimed to develop innovative and compact accelerating stuctures based on new manufactoring techniques and materials in order to produce devices operating with the highest accelerating gradient. Recent studies have shown a large increase in the maximum sustained RF surface electric fields in copper structure operating at cryogenic temperature. These novel approaches allow significant performance improvements of RF photoinjectors. Indeed the operation at high surface fields results in considerable increase of electron brilliance. This requires high field quality in the RF photoinjector and specifically in its poweer coupler. In this work we present a novel power coupler for the RF photoinjector.

High Energy Photon Source is a 6-GeV diffraction-limited synchrotron light source currently under construction in Beijing. Three types of high-power RF systems are used to drive the booster and the storage ring. For the booster ring, a total of 600-kW continuous-wave (CW) RF power is generated by six 500-MHz solid-state power amplifiers (SSA) and fed into six normal-conducting copper cavities. Concerning the storage ring, five CW 260-kW SSAs at 166 MHz and two CW 260-kW SSAs at 500-MHz are used to drive five fundamental and two third-harmonic superconducting cavities respectively. The RF power distributions are realized by 9-3/16" rigid coaxial line for the 166-MHz system and EIA standard WR1800 waveguide for the 500-MHz one. High-power circulators and loads are installed at the outputs of all SSAs to further protect the power transmitters from damages due to reflected power although each amplifier module is equipped with individual isolators. The overall system layout and the progress of the main components are presented in this paper.

For the newly designed and fabricated APS Upgrade (APS-U) hybrid permanent magnet undulators (HPMUs), the development of magnetic shims has been critical to successfully tuning the undulators to meet the tight APS-U physics requirements. Different types of side and surface shims have been developed and applied for this purpose. The side shims are primarily used for trajectory tuning, and the surface shims are for phase and multipole tuning as well as trajectory tuning. Current design, applications, and measurement of the shims for the newly designed and fabricated APS28 (28 mm period) undulators are presented in this paper.

  The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) plans to achieve a beam capture efficiency above 90% at 17 nC bunch charge into the Booster. Due to large beam loading at injection, the 352-MHz Booster cavities will be significantly detuned necessitating effective-power handling much greater than the 100kW effective power rating of the present coupler. Canon Electron Tubes & Devices Co., Ltd. (CETD) has designed and built a compact coupler for the APS-U Booster using a high-power ceramic disk window design in addition to accommodating significant space restrictions and additional diagnostics and cooling requirements. The coupler design was modified from an existing 500MHz, 800kW coupler that has been in routine operation at KEKB. The APS-U coupler has been installed and tested in the high-power 352-MHz test stand at the APS. The details of the design and testing of the prototype coupler will be reported in this paper.

The Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) process plays an important role in the performance of various devices. Mitigating the multipactor phenomenon that may occur in radio-frequency components is a concern in many fields such as space technologies or electron microscopy. SEE is also a concern in the accelerator physics community, where the beam lines stability can strongly be affected by this phenomenon*,**. In that scope, the escaped depth and thus the range of emitted electrons is of great interest. Our goal, by means of simulations is to provide a better knowledge of SEE. We have developed a Monte Carlo electron transport code for low energy electrons [~eV, ~10keV], that is part of the Dec. 2020 release of GEANT4***. It has been used to study the practical range of low energy electrons. Our goal is to formulate, below ~10 keV, an analytic range vs. energy expression, and to relate it to fundamental physcial parameters such as the mean free paths of electrons in matter. The goal is to provide simple practical extrapolated range formula that can help to understand SEE phenomenon.

  Low energy electrons of few tens of eV may cause Multipactor breakdowns in waveguides driven by the Secondary Electron Emission Yield (SEY) of the walls. This risk is lowered by using low emissive surfaces and this topic has been studied experimentally and with numerical simulations. The dependence of the SEY on surface properties is well known*. Surface morphology has been widely used to reduce the SEY by forming roughness patterns on the surface**. All patterns do not have the same efficiency so their analysis in terms of SEY is relevant. Monte-Carlo simulation codes can be used to study the processes behind the SEY. The MicroElec module of GEANT4 has recently been extended with more materials and processes and validated with experimental data for SEY calculations**. In this work, simulation results are shown for a bulk sample capped with different roughness patterns. The effects of the shape parameters on the SEY are studied for typical dimensions between 20 µm and 100 µm. The results are checked with experimental SEY measurements on samples with similar roughness patterns.

The Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) project at the Spallation Neutron Source will double the available proton beam power from 1.4 to 2.8 MW by increasing the beam energy from 1.0 to 1.3 GeV and the beam current from 26 to 38 mA. The increase in beam current resulted in the need to redesign the existing normal conducting linac (NCL) RF Systems. High-power testing of the existing NCL RF Systems configured to accelerate PPU-level beam provided the data used to make the final design decisions. This paper describes the development and execution of those in-situ tests and the subsequent results.

  with the development of synchrotron radiation (SR) light source technology, in order to meet the requirements of sample positioning platform of some beamline stations, such as adjusting resolution at the nanometer level and having larger sample scanning distance, a six degree of freedom positioning platform based on spacefab structure was developed. The key technologies such as coordinate parameter transformation, kinematics analysis, and adjustment decoupling algorithm of 6-DOF pose adjustment system of SpaceFAB positioning platform are mainly studied. A 6-DOF platform driven by a stepping motor is designed and manufactured. The control system of the 6-DOF Platform Based on bus control is developed, and the adjustment accuracy is tested. The repeated positioning accuracy of the platform in three directions is 0.019 mm, and that of rotation is 0.011 ° in three directions. The test results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis of SpaceFAB structure and the rationality of mechanism design. The research on the platform motion algorithm and control system has important reference value for the follow-up research of large stroke nano-6-dof positioning platform.

  High-frequency structures are favorable in structure wakefield acceleration for their strong beam-structure interaction. Recent progress of advanced fabrication technologies, such as high-precision two-half milling and additive machining, has enabled experimental research of mm-wave/THz structures. In this work, we have designed a pair of 182 GHz two-half copper power extractor and accelerator for short pulse RF breakdown study. When driven by a 182 GHz 4-bunch train with 4 nC total charge and 0.3 mm rms bunch length, the power extractor will generate 0.4 ns ~8 MW RF pulses and the corresponding gradient in the single-cell accelerator will reach ~460 MV/m. RF and mechanical design of the proof-of-concept structures will be reported in this manuscript.

Optical transition radiation (OTR) is routinely used to measure transverse beam size, divergence , and emittance of charged particle beams. Presented here is an experimental method, which uses micro-mirror device (DMD) to conduct optical phase space mapping (OPSM). OPSM will be a next step and significant enhancement of the measurements capabilities of an adaptive optics-based beam characterization system. For this measurements, a DMD will be used to generate a reflective mask that replicates the double slit. Since the DMD makes it possible to easily change the size, shape and position of the mask, the use of the DMD will greatly simplify OPSM and make it more flexible, faster and more useful for diagnostics applications. The process can be automated and integrated into a control system that can be used to optimize the beam transport.

Medical applications of charged particle beams require a full online characterisation of the beam to ensure patient safety, treatment efficacy, and facility efficiency. In-vivo dosimetry, measurement of delivered dose during treatment, is a significant part of this characterisation. Current methods offer limited information or are invasive to the beam, meaning measurements must be done offline. This contribution presents the development of a non-invasive gas jet in-vivo dosimeter for treatment facilities. The technique is based on the interaction between a particle beam and a supersonic gas jet curtain, which was originally developed for the high luminosity upgrade of the large hadron collider (HL-LHC). To demonstrate the medical application of this technique, an existing HL-LHC test system with minor modifications will be installed at the University of Birmingham’s 35 MeV proton cyclotron, which has properties comparable to that of a treatment beam. This contribution presents the design and development of this test setup, plans for initial benchmarking measurements, and plans for a future optimised medical accelerator gas jet in-vivo dosimeter.
