  For carrying out bead-pull characterisation of RFQ and DTL at the Low Energy High Intensity Proton Accelerator of BARC, a controller for simultaneous motion of 64 axis, tuners or post couplers, was developed. Also, a bead motion controller with integrated phase measurement sensor was developed. The paper discusses the requirements of the system, the architecture of the control systems, operation and results. The results obtained from the sensor was compared to that obtained using an independent USB VNA. The advantages of the system especially with addition of internal phase measurement sensor including minimising position error, flexibility in beadpull to selectively increase resolution at specified locations and ease of implementing auto-tuning algorithms are discussed.

Proton therapy for cancer treatment is a rapidly growing field and increasing evidence suggests it induces more complex DNA damage than photon therapy. Accurate comparison between the two treatments requires quantification of the DNA damage the cause, which can be assessed using the Comet Assay. The program outlined here is based on neural network architecture and aims to speed up analysis of Comet Assay images and provide accurate, quantifiable assessment of the DNA damage levels apparent in individual cells. The Comet Assay is an established technique in which DNA fragments are spread out under the influence of an electric field, producing a comet-like object. The elongation and intensity of the comet tail (consisting of DNA fragments) indicate the level of damage incurred. Many methods to measure this damage exist, using a variety of algorithms. However, these can be time consuming, so often only a small fraction of the comets available in an image are analysed. The automatic analysis presented in this contribution aims to improve this. To supplement the training and testing of the network, a Monte Carlo model will also be presented to create simulated comet assay images.

Superconducting spoke cavities are prone to multipactor - resonant raise of a number of electrons due to secondary emission. Recently proposed and tested by TRIUMF balloon-type spoke cavity showed an outstanding multipactor (MP) suppression property but unfortunately serious Q degradation at high fields. A new fully developed design of a dressed balloon cavity which can be used for any proton linac SSR2 section is developed. The design incorporates additional EP ports for high Q-factor demonstration. Superior properties are demonstrated, such as effective multipactor suppression, 40% lower Lorentz force coefficient, zero sensitivity to external pressure. This paper presents the results of coupled structural Multiphysics analysis, and engineering design of the dressed balloon cavity with EP ports.

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.

  Employing the local ECR ion source of the FAIR phase 0 ion storage ring CRYRING@ESR, we set up an IT-environment for on-line data processing and applications based on the data available from beam diagnostic instruments and input signals controlling the ion source. As a first proof of principle, we implemented a closed-loop optimization software controller based on bi-objective Genetic Optimization*. As one property for optimization we used the ion beam current measured with a Faraday-cup detector. As second optimization-property we the on-line processed time-resolved signal of the individual ion-source pulses employing the relatively new Matrix-Profile Algorithm** which provides a measure for the shot-by-shot variability of the consecutive pulses. We will report on the status of the data logging framework, the implementation of related software programs and the results of first tests.

  Synchrotron design and operation are one of the complex tasks which requires a lot of precise computation. As an example, we could mention the simulations done for calculating the impedance budget of the machine which requires a notable amount of computational power. In this paper we are going to review different HPC scenarios suitable for this matter then we will present our design of a suitable HPC based on the accelerator physicists and engineers’ needs. Going through different HPC scenarios such as shared memory architectures, distributed memory architectures, cluster, grid and cloud computing we conclude implementation of a dedicated computing cluster can be desired for ILSF. Cluster computing provides the opportunity for easy and saleable scientific computation for ILSF also another advantage is that its resources can be used for running cloud or grid computing platforms as well.

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) Upgrade includes a 4.8-m-long superconducting undulator (SCU) cryostat containing two 1.9-m-long, 16.5-mm-period planar NbTi undulator magnets. The magnetic and mechanical design of this magnet follows the design of the existing 1.1-m-long, 18-mm-period planar SCU that is currently in operation at the APS *. Although OPERA is a reliable standard software tool for magnetic field calculations, ANSYS Maxwell 3D has the advantage of calculating a large and complex geometry. In this paper, first, the magnetic field map, including the peak field and end fields, is bench-marked against the magnetic measurement data of the existing planar SCU18-1. Then, corrector current optimization is presented for the 1.5-m-long, 21-mm-period planar SCU. Finally, a magnetic field model of a full-scale, 1.9-m-long planar SCU is presented.

As the next generation of accelerator technology pushes towards being able to achieve higher and higher gradients there is a need to develop high-frequency structures that can support these fields *. The conditioning process of the structures and waveguides to high gradient is a labor-intensive process, its length increases as the maximum gradient is increased. This results in the need to automate the conditioning process. This automation must allow for high accuracy calculations of the breakdown probabilities associated with the conditioning process which can be used to instruct the conditioning procedure without the need for human intervention. To automate the conditioning process at LANL’s high gradient C-band accelerator test stand we developed FEbreak that is a breakout probability and conditioning automation software that is a part of the FEmaster series **, ***, ****. FEbreak directly interfaces with the rest of FEmaster to automate the data collection and data processing to not only analyze the breakdown probability but also the dark current effects associated with these high gradient structures.

  CSNS-II project design a linac accelerates 40 mA H beam from 3.8 MeV to 300 MeV, which should not only overcome the space-charge effect at low energy but also have high efficiency at high energy. Therefore, lots of simulation studies should be done on a variety of codes. Each of them has its own characteristics. For example, MAD can easily match quadrupole fast while it couldn’t do the multiparticle calculation. This paper will introduce some common and efficient code used to design linac and study beam dynamic performance.

  SLAC is developing the Lightsource Unified Modeling Environment (LUME) for efficient modeling of X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) performance. This project takes a holistic approach starting with the simulation of the electron beams, to the production of the photon pulses, to their transport through the optical components of the beamline, to their interaction with the samples and the simulation of the detectors, and finally followed by the analysis of simulated data. LUME leverages existing, well-established simulation codes, and provides standard interfaces to these codes via open-source Python packages. Data are exchanged in standard formats based on openPMD and its extensions. The platform is built with an open, well-documented architecture so that science groups around the world can contribute specific experimental designs and software modules, advancing both their scientific interests and a broader knowledge of the opportunities provided by the exceptional capabilities of X-ray FELs.
