As part of the Next Ion Medical Machine Study (NIMMS), we present a new method for designing synchrotron lattices. A step-wise approach was used to generate random lattice structures from a set of feedforward neural networks. These lattice designs are optimised by evolving the networks over many iterations with a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). The final set of solutions represent the most effi- cient and feasible lattices which satisfy the design constraints. It is up to the lattice designer to choose a design that best suits the intended application. The automated algorithm presented here randomly samples from all possible lattice layouts and reaches the global optimum over many iterations. The requirements of an efficient extraction scheme in hadron therapy synchrotrons impose stringent constraints on the lat- tice optical functions. Using this algorithm allows us to find the global optimum that is tailored to these constraints and to fully utilise the flexibilities provided by new technology.

  The LHC is the world’s largest particle accelerator and uses a complex set of sophisticated and highly reliable machine protection systems to ensure a safe operation with high availability for particle physics production. The data gathered during several years of successful operation allow the use of data-driven methods to assist experts in finding anomalies in the behavior of those protection systems. In this paper, we derive a model that can extend the existing signal monitoring applications for the LHC protection systems with machine learning. Our hybrid model combines an existing threshold-based system with a SVM by using signals, manually validated by experts. Even with a limited amount of data, the SVM learns to integrate the expert knowledge and contributes to a better classification of safety-critical signals. Using this approach, we analyze historical signals of quench heaters, which are an important part of the quench protection system for superconducting magnets. Particularly, it is possible to incorporate expert decisions into the classification process and to improve the failure detection rate of the existing quench heater discharge analysis tool.

  Cancer therapy with ions has several advantages over X-ray and proton therapy, but its diffusion remains limited primarily because of the size and cost of the accelerator. To develop technologies that might improve performance and reduce accelerator cost with respect to present facilities, CERN has recently launched the Next Ion Medical Machine Study (NIMMS), leveraging CERN expertise in accelerator fields to disseminate technologies developed for basic science. A perspective user and key partner of NIMMS is the SEEIIST (South East European International Institute for Sustainable Technologies), established to build in the region an innovative facility for combined cancer therapy and biomedical research with ion beams. For SEEIIST and other potential users, three options are being considered. Conceptual designs of a warm-magnet synchrotron at high beam intensity, of a compact superconducting synchrotron, and of a high-frequency linear accelerator have been compared in terms of cost, risk and development time. The development of curved superconducting magnets, of compact synchrotrons and ion gantries, and of linacs is being pursued within EU-funded projects or specific collaborations

  The availability and use of ion beams for radiotherapy has grown significantly, led by technological developments to exploit the dosimetric advantages offered by charged particles. The benefits of particle therapy (PT) are well identified however its utilisation is still limited by high facility costs and technological challenges. A possibility to address both of these can be considered by improvements to the beam delivery system (BDS). Existing beamlines and gantries transport beams with a momentum range of ±1% and consequently, adjustments in depth or beam energy require all the magnetic fields to be changed. The speed to switch energies is a limiting constraint of the BDS and a determinant of the overall treatment time. A novel concept using fixed field alternating gradient (FFA) optics enables a large energy acceptance (LEA) as beams of varying energies can traverse the beamline at multiple physical positions given the same magnetic field. This presents the potential to provide faster, higher quality treatments at lower costs, with the capability to deliver advanced PT techniques such as multi-ion therapy. We explore the applicability and benefits of a LEA BDS.

  The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), which is presently under construction in Darmstadt (Germany), will incorporate a large variety of superconducting devices like magnets, currents leads and bus bars. These components depend on an active protection in case of a transition from superconducting to the resistive state, so-called quench. In this framework, a FAIR Quench Detection System (F-QDS) is being developed based on analog and digital electronics and will be implemented in several machines of the FAIR complex. This paper describes the development of the F-QDS. An overview of the F-QDS electronics is given followed by a description of the system integration to the infrastructure of various machines. Initial test results of the F-QDS prototype system are presented and discussed.

  The Super FRS is a two-stage in flight separator to be built next to the site of GSI, Darmstadt, Germany as part of FAIR (Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research). Its three branches allow to carry out a wide variety of experiments. Due to the large acceptance needed, the magnets of the Super-FRS require a large aperture and therefore only a superconducting solution is feasible. A superferric design was chosen in which the magnetic field is shaped by an iron yoke. For the dipole magnets only the superconducting coils are in a cryostat. These magnets are manufactured by Elytt Energy (Spain). The multiplets, assemblies of quadrupoles and higher order multipole magnets, are completely immersed in a liquid Helium bath. They are being built at ASG (Italy). The first of two first of series multiplets, a short assembly containing 2 magnets, was tested at a dedicated test facility at CERN (Switzerland). The 2nd FoS multiplet, containing 9 magnets, and the FoS dipole will be tested soon. Series production of the multiplets has started. In this paper we will present the status of production and testing of the different superconducting magnets for Super-FRS.

  A new international facility for antiproton and ion research (FAIR) is currently under construction in Darmstadt, Germany. The high intensity primary beam required for different research experiments will be provided by the SIS100 heavy ion synchrotron. The synchrotron is composed of fast cycling superconducting magnets from which about 300 will be integrated in Quadrupole Doublet Modules (QDM). Each module consists of two units composed of a quadrupole and corrector magnets. The First of Series Quadrupole Doublet Module was delivered to the test facility at GSI in November 2019. The assembled doublet was subjected to a dedicated test program to verify the functionality of the module components at cryogenic temperature and operating conditions. The results obtained during the testing campaign will be presented.

The SCAPE (SuperConducting Arbitrarily Polarizing Emitter) undulator is under development at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) as a part of the APS upgrade. SCAPE is comprised of four superconducting magnets which are arranged to create an on-axis undulator field that can be planar, elliptical, or circular. As a first step towards developing a full length device, a 0.5-meter long prototype was manufactured and assembled for testing in a liquid helium bath cryostat. A description of the mechanical assembly and subsequent measurement results of the first prototype will be presented in this paper.
