  In this proceeding, we investigate hollow and flat electron beam generation at FACET-II facility. We focus on the case of a circular beamlet arrangement, also known as ’necklace’ beams. We study, via numerical simulations, the resulting e-beam dynamics in the FACET-II photoinjector, beam propagation through the high energy section, as well as possible experimental applications of the ’necklace’ beams. Finally, we evaluate the feasibility of high charge flat beam generation.

As part of the ALS-U design, bunches with small charge will be added to the accumulator ring in a manner that initially leaves both the stored and injected bunches displaced from the nominal orbit. While the beam current is below instability thresholds, transient effects due to the combination of short-range wake fields and large initial displacements can have an impact on injection efficiency. In this paper, the impact of wake fields on the two bunches is detailed using the elegant simulation code, and different techniques to optimize the injection efficiency are explored.

The plasma photocathode concept, whereby a two-species gas mixture is used to generate a beam -driven accelerating wakefield and a laser-ionized generation of a witness beam, was recently experimentally demonstrated. In a variation of this concept, a beam-driven dielectric wakefield accelerator is employed, filled with a neutral gas for laser-ionization and creation of a witness beam. The dielectric wakefields, in the terahertz regime, provide comparatively modest timing requirements for the injection phase of the witness beam. In this paper, we provide an update on the progress of the experimental realization of the hybrid dielectric wakefield accelerator with laser injected witness beam at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA), including engineering considerations for gas delivery, and preliminary simulations.

The results of the numerical PIC-simulation of accelerated positron bunch focusing in the plasma dielectric wakefield accelerator unit, filled with radially inhomogeneous plasma that has vacuum channel inside are presented. The Wakefield was created by drive electron bunch in quartz dielectric tube with external and internal diameters of 1.2 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively. The tube was embedded in cylindrical metal waveguide. The internal area of dielectric tube has been filled with different transverse density profiles of plasma: homogeneous density and inhomogeneous density created in capillary discharge. Drive bunch electrons energy was 5 GeV, drive bunch charge was 3 nC. The test positron bunch had the same parameters as the drive bunch except for the charge of 0.05 nC. Results of numerical PIC simulation have shown the possibility of simultaneous acceleration and focusing of test positron bunch in the wakefield excited by drive electron bunch. The dependence of transport and acceleration of positron bunch on size of vacuum channel is studied.

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 high accelerating gradient, with stable beam transport, is necessary for the next generation of particle accelerators. Dielectric wakefield accelerators are a potential solution to this problem. In these proceedings, we present simulation studies of electron bunches in the self-wake regime inside a planar dielectric structure. This is analogous to driving beams in a dielectric wakefield accelerator. The transverse and longitudinal wake fields are investigated for dielectric plate gaps, various transverse beam sizes, and longitudinal bunch profiles. The effects of these on the stability of drive bunches, and acceleration of a witness bunch, are discussed in the context of electron bunches that can be produced with conventional linac RF technology.

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.

MOPAB163 First Synchronous Measurement of Single-Bunched Electron and Positron Beams with a Wideband Feedthrough-BPM at the Positron Capture Section of the SuperKEKB Injector Linac positron, electron, solenoid, linac 557

  The SuperKEKB is an asymmetric e/e+ collider with 40 times higher luminosity than the KEKB project, to explore the new physics beyond the standard model. For the SuperKEKB, the positrons are created by striking the accelerated electrons at a tungsten target. The secondary electrons are also produced during the positron creation process and accelerated in the capture section. Because of phase slipping in the capture section, the secondary electron bunch is only  ∼ 180 ps away from the positron. Conventional stripline-type BPM cannot detect such closely spaced and opposite polarity signals due to slow frequency response and high cable losses. Therefore, a new wideband feedthrough-type beam position monitor was developed. It was successfully employed at the positron capture section of the SuperKEKB injector linac for the first synchronous measurement of the electron and positron beams. The cable losses effect also has been de-embedded to reveal correct signal properties. This paper describes the initial results of synchronous measurement of e/e+ transverse position.

Focusing of both electron and positron bunches in an electron-positron collider is necessary. The focusing mechanism in the plasma, in which all electron bunches are focused identically, has been proposed earlier*. This mechanism is considered for positron bunches by using simulation with LCODE**. Three types of lenses with different trains of cosine profile positron bunches are considered depending on the bunch length, the distance between bunches, and their charge. It has been shown that all positron bunches are focused identically at special parameters of the first positron bunch, wherein the middle of bunches are focused weaker than their fronts.

PIC simulation by means of 2.5D UMKA code * of the wakefield excitation by a sequence of three Gaussian laser pulses in plasma was carried out. The dependence of excited wakefield intensity on power and width of laser pulses was investigated. It was shown the coherent addition of wakefield, excited by each laser pulse of the sequence, for linear case, while for the nonlinear case the coherency was destroyed. The profiled sequence of laser pulses was also considered. The possibility to obtain the same total wakefield excited by the profiled sequence of laser pulses with decreasing intensity, as for the uniform sequence was studied.

Recently the proposal to use X-ray Exawatt pulse for particle acceleration in a crystal has been declared *. Short X-ray high-power pulse excites wakefield in electron plasma of metallic density which can be used for high gradient acceleration of charged particles. This wakefield is suited for laser wakefield acceleration. In this paper there are simulated with PIC code UMKA: excitation of the large wakefield amplitude up to several TV/m in electron plasma of metallic density by a powerful X-ray laser pulse; laser-plasma wakefield acceleration of self-injected electron bunch in such setup; combined acceleration by plasma wakefield driven by a laser pulse (LPWA) and by self-injected electron bunch (PWFA).

Ultra-high gradients which are critical for future advances in high-energy physics, have so far relied on plasma and dielectric accelerating structures. While bulk crystals were predicted to offer unparalleled TV/m gradients that are at least two orders of magnitude higher than gaseous plasmas, crystal-based acceleration has not been realized in practice. We have developed the concept of nanoplasmonic crunch-in surface modes which utilizes the tunability of collective oscillations in nanomaterials to open up unprecedented tens of TV/m gradients. Particle beams interacting with nanomaterials that have vacuum-like core regions, experience minimal disruptive effects such as filamentation and collisions, while the beam-driven crunch-in modes sustain tens of TV/m gradients. Moreover, as the effective apertures for transverse and longitudinal crunch-in wakes are different, the limitation of traditional scaling of structure wakefields to smaller dimensions is significantly relaxed. The SLAC FACET-II experiment of the nano2WA collaboration will utilize ultra-short, high-current electron beams to excite nonlinear plasmonic modes and demonstrate this possibility.

We present our recent results generating 510 MW of power at 11.7 GHz using a metamaterial-based metallic power-extractor for application in structure-based wakefield acceleration (SWFA). SWFA is a novel acceleration scheme in which high-charge electron bunches are passed through a power extractor structure to produce a high-intensity wakefield. This wakefield can then be used to accelerate a witness bunch in the same beamline or passed to a separate acceleration beamline. MIT’s approach uses a specialized metamaterial for the power extractor design. By using a metamaterial, we can overcome some of the challenges faced by other SWFA techniques. Here, we discuss the Stage 3 experiment. The Stage 1 and Stage 2 experiments successfully demonstrated the functionality of the metamaterial approach by generating high power RF pulses using the 65 MeV electron beam at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility. The 510 MW result from Stage 3 experiment is the highest power generated to-date for SWFA at AWA, and was enable by significant design improvements, including an all-copper structure, fully-symmetric coupler design, and breakdown risk-reduction treatment.

  The active plasma beam dump utilizes a laser to generate a plasma wakefield and decelerate an externally injected beam to low energy. We use the particle-in-cell code "Smi-lei" for the investigation of electron beam energy loss in plasma. In this research work, we optimize the laser and plasma parameters to investigate the active plasma beam dump scheme. In doing so, most of the beam energy will be deposited in the plasma. The optimization strategy for the beam energy loss in plasma is presented.

MOPAB173 Physics Program and Experimental for AWAKE Run 2 plasma, electron, proton, experiment 586

    MPI, Muenchen, Germany
 
  Run 1 experimental results demonstrate many characteristics of the self-modulation (SM) in plasma of a long, 400GeV SPS proton bunch*. Externally injected, 19MeV electrons were accelerated to 2GeV**. Based on these results, we are assembling a physics and experiment program aiming at producing a multi-GeV electron bunch with emittance and energy spread sufficiently low for possible early applications to high-energy physics experiments. Plans include two plasmas, the first for SM, the second for acceleration, and of scalable length, separated by an injection region. The first plasma includes a density step to maintain large-amplitude wakefields after saturation of the SM process. Seeding of the SM process may be obtained from an electron bunch. The 150MeV witness electron bunch from an S-band gun, X-band linac has parameters that produce plasma electron blow out and loading of the wakefields in order to minimize final energy spread and emittance***. We are studying the possibility of using a helicon plasma source for the accelerator, a source that can in principle be very long (100s of m).

MOPAB304 Beam Diagnostics for Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility emittance, diagnostics, dipole, quadrupole 960

  Particle accelerators must achieve certain beam quality objectives for use in different experiments. Usually, optimizing certain beam objectives comes at the expense of others. Additionally, there are many input parameters and a limited number of diagnostics. Therefore, accelerator tuning becomes a multi-objective optimization problem with a limited number of observations. Multi-objective Bayesian optimization was recently proposed as an efficient method to find the Pareto front for an online accelerator tuning problem with reduced number of observations. In order to experimentally test the multi-objective Bayesian optimization method, a novel accelerator diagnostic is being designed to measure multiple beam quality metrics of an electron beam at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility. Here, we present a design consisting in a pepper-pot mask, a dipole magnet and a scintillation screen, which allows a simultaneous measurement of the electron beam energy spread and vertical emittance. Additionally, a surrogate model for the vertical emittance was constructed with only 60 observations and without prior knowledge of the objective function nor diagnostics constraints.

As part of the Argonne 500 MeV short pulse Two Beam Wakefield Acceleration Demonstrator, a single cell X-band dielectric disk loaded accelerator (DDA) has been designed, fabricated, and tested at high power at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator. The DDA should provide a short pulse (~20 ns) high gradient (>300 MV/m) accelerator while maintaining a reasonable r/Q and high group velocity. This will allow a significantly larger RF-to-beam efficiency than is currently possible for conventional accelerating structures. A low loss barium titantate ceramic, µr = 50, was selected, and a low temperature brazing alloy chosen to preserve the dielectric properties of the ceramic during brazing. High power testing produced breakdown at the triple junction, resulting from the braze joint design. No evidence of breakdown was observed on the iris of the disk, indicating that the maximum surface electric field on the dielectric was not reached. An improved braze joint has been designed and is in production, with high power testing to follow.

  Circular hadron colliders rely on Landau damping to stabilize the beams. Landau damping depends strongly on the bunch distribution, which is often assumed to be Gaussian in the transverse planes. In this paper, we introduce and explain an instability mechanism observed in the LHC, where Landau damping is eventually lost due to a diffusion that modifies the transverse bunch distribution. The mechanism is caused by a wide-spectrum noise that excites the transverse motion of the beam, which consequently produces wakefields that drive a narrow-spectrum diffusion. It is shown that this diffusion efficiently lowers the stability diagram at the frequency of the least stable coherent mode, leading to a loss of Landau damping after a latency. A semi-analytical model agrees with measurements in dedicated latency experiments performed in the LHC. This instability mechanism explains the need for a stability margin in octupole current in the LHC, relative to the amount needed to stabilize a Gaussian beam. We detail the impact of this mechanism and possible mitigations for the LHC and HL-LHC.

  A high-precision intra-bunch-train beam orbit feedback correction system has been developed and tested at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility, ATF2. The system uses the vertical position of the bunch measured at two beam position monitors to calculate a pair of kicks which are applied to the next bunch using two upstream kickers, thereby correcting both the vertical position and trajectory angle. Using trains of two electron bunches separated in time by 187.6ns, the system was optimised so as to stabilize the beam offset at the feedback BPMs to better than 350nm, yielding a local trajectory angle correction to within 250nrad. The quality of the correction was verified using three downstream witness BPMs and the results were found to be in agreement with the predictions of a linear lattice model used to propagate the beam trajectory from the feedback region. This same model predicts a corrected be am jitter of c.1nm at the focal point of the accelerator. Measurements with a beam size monitor at this location demonstrate that reducing the trajectory jitter of the beam by a factor of 4 also reduces the increase in the measured beam size as a function of beam charge by a factor of ~1.6.

Drive and witness beams with variable current profiles and bunch spacing can be generated using an emittance exchange beamline (EEX) in conjunction with transverse masks. Recently, this approach was used to create advanced driver profiles and demonstrate record-breaking plasma wakefield transformer ratios [Roussel, R., et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 044802 (2020)], a crucial advancement for effective witness acceleration. Presently, these transverse masks are individually laser cut, making the refinement of beam profiles a slow process. Instead, we have proposed the used of a UHV compatible multileaf collimator (MLC) to replace these masks. An MLC permits real-time adjustment of the beam masking, permitting faster optimization in a manner highly synergistic with machine learning. Beam dynamics simulations have shown that practical MLCs offer resolution that is functionally equivalent to that offered by the laser cut masks. In this work, the engineering considerations and practical implementation of such a system at the AWA facility are discussed and the results of benchtop tests are presented.

  The nonlinear dynamics of an electron beam propagating in a low-density plasma is investigated. The beam envelope equation is obtained analytically for the case of an axisymmetric beam using a model approximation close to the Kapchinsky-Vladimirsky model. Solutions of the envelope equation are presented for various initial conditions (beam current, initial beam radius, transverse beam emittance).

The phase of wakefield driven by a self-modulated proton bunch depends on the type of seeding method and by the beam-plasma parameters.* Particularly when a preceding electron bunch generates seed wakefield, the proton bunch modulation is strongly affected by the seed bunch dynamics along with the plasma. Intrinsic wakefield dephasing from self-modulation of proton bunch can lead to complex evolution of the bunch and wakefield, making it difficult to design an experimental setup for witness beam injection. Using the particle-in-cell code FBPIC,** we investigate in detail the trends of seed electron and driver proton bunch parameter sensitivity to the phase of wakefield in time in the proton bunch frame. We focus on the parameters affecting the phase of the wakefield through the beam’s radial dynamics, such as beam emittance, radial size, energy, and beam to plasma density ratio. Parameter variations are compared to those in the case of the phase of wakefield driven by a non-evolving seed bunch.

  In this work, particle-in-cell simulations were carried out to investigate the dynamics of a laser pulse propagating along a H2 gas jet. The laser-driven wakefield and the density of ionized electrons are analyzed during the pulse propagation through the gas jet. The laser and plasma quantities were chosen in order to have the system operating in the self-modulated regime. Results show how the self-modulation fragments the laser pulse, originating higher-amplitude pulses that can induce bubble formation with wave-breaking and particle injection.

  We discuss a new quasistatic 3D particle-in-cell code LCODE3D for simulating plasma wakefield acceleration, which is a modified version of the quasistatic 2D3V code LCODE, focus on the numerical noise of the plasma solver and propose methods for reducing it. We compare different particle shape functions, as these functions affect the code stability. We also introduce the so-called dual plasma approach, which improves stability and dampens small-scale noise. After applying the proposed methods, the results of the new code closely agree with LCODE simulation results.

In future plasma wakefield acceleration-based scenarios for linear colliders, beams with highly asymmetric emittance are expected. In this case, the blowout region is no longer axisymmetric, but elliptical in cross-section, which implies that the focusing is not equal in the two transverse planes. In this paper, we analyze simulations for studying the asymmetries in flat-beam driven plasma acceleration using the round-to-flat-beam transformer at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator. Beams with high charge and emittance ratios, in excess of 100:1, are routinely available at the AWA. We use particle-in-cell codes to compare various scenarios including a weak blowout, where the plasma focusing effect exhibits higher order mode asymmetry. Further, practical considerations for tunable plasma density using capillary discharge and laser ionization are compared for implementation into experimental designs.

Periodic electron bunch trains spaced at the laser wavelength created via inverse free electron laser (IFEL) bunching can be used to resonantly excite plasmas in the quasi-nonlinear (QNL) regime. The excitation can produce plasma blowout conditions using very low emittance beams despite having a small charge per bunch. The resulting plasma density perturbation is extremely nonlinear locally, but preserves the resonant response of the plasma electrons at the plasma frequency. This excitation can produce plasma blowout conditions using very low emittance beams despite having a small charge per bunch. To match the resonance condition, the plasma wavelength has to be equal to the laser period of a few microns. This corresponds to a high density plasma resulting in extremely large wakefield amplitudes. Matching the beam into such a dense plasma requires an extremely short focusing beta function. We present the beam-plasma interaction using quasi-static particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and discuss the micro-bunching and focusing mechanism required for this scheme which would be a precursor to the planned experiment, E-317, at SLAC’s FACET-II facility.

Earlier, high-gradient accelerating electrons of a relativistic beam was demonstrated. However, due to dynamic processes in the plasma, there are problems in maintaining the small size and small energy spread of the accelerated electron bunch while maintaining sufficient values of the accelerating wakefields. Also, the question arises about the values of the limiting bunch dimensions at which the accelerating process is stable. To form a stable accelerated electron bunch, a method is usually used that involves the formation of the same accelerating fields at the location of the bunch. The same fields (plateau due to beam loading (see *, **)) in the region of the accelerated bunch allow all its parts to move as a whole, and ensure the preservation of the spatial distribution of electrons over time, which, in fact, means an accelerated beam of good quality. In this report, the problem of electron bunch accelerating by a short or long electron driver-bunch is considered.

The quality of the electron or positron beam, accelerated in plasma accelerators, is still insufficient for applications. Accurate control over the properties of the electron or positron beam is a key issue for wakefield plasma accelerators. The effect of the presence of a witness-beam (the effect of the spatial charge distribution of the witness beam) (see [*, **]) to compensate the energy spread of the positron beam in plasma wakefield accelerators has been studied. This paper presents the results of a numerical simulation on the optimization of the parameters of the driver-bunch and witness-bunch for the formation of a self-consistent longitudinal distribution of the accelerating plateau-type field, which leads to the same values of the wakefield for the whole bunch of accelerated particles and minimizing bunch degradation during acceleration by means of an ion-driver-bunch with external injection into the plasma wake accelerator. The dependence of the longitudinal distribution of the accelerating wakefield on the density and shape of the accelerated bunch in the blowout regime was investigated. Plateau formation and energy spread compensation were observed.

The efficiency of electron acceleration by a wakefield, excited in a plasma by an electron bunch, is determined by the transformer ratio (see *, **). The transformer ratio is the ratio of energy acquired by the witness to energy lost by the driver. The transformer ratio can be increased by shaping driver-bunch. In this work, using a non-linear version of the 2d3v code lcode (see ***), numerical simulation of excitation of a wakefield in a plasma in blowout regime by a shaped relativistic electron bunch was performed. There is also the problem of maintaining the small dimension and small energy spread of the accelerated electron bunch while maintaining sufficient values of the accelerating gradient and the transformer ratio. Also, the question arises about the values of the limiting dimension of the witness-bunch at which the acceleration process is stable. Numerical simulation solves the problem of electron bunch acceleration of the best quality with simultaneous maximization of the transformer ratio and maximization of the witness bunch length, at which the accelerating gradient and the focusing force are constant.

  The AWAKE project at CERN successfully demonstrated the use of a proton driver to accelerate an electron witness in plasma*. One of the key goals for AWAKE Run2 is to better control this acceleration, separating the proton-beam-modulation and electron-acceleration stages in order to achieve high energy electrons with high beam quality. Controlled acceleration additionally requires careful tuning of the witness bunch parameters at the injection point. In this work, we use particle-in-cell simulations to study the tolerances for this matching, and discuss techniques to loosen these constraints.

  The corrugated geometry of the bellows made it critical to be shielded with an RF-Shield. Different types of RF shields can be applied to the ILSF vacuum chamber to cover this component’s destructive impedance peaks. Then, the Impedance study and optimization of the RF shields can improve the impedance budget. In this article, two common types of RF shields are simulated in CST software.

  As one part of the ILSF storage ring, the rf-shield of the gate valves generates considerable interest in terms of wake impedance and heat-load. Inside the gate valves, there is a vacuity, which causes low frequencies resonances, and it can lead to beam instabilities. Therefore, controlling and eliminating these frequencies will be substantial. A radio frequency rf-shield structure, which conceals this transverse gap of the gate valves, is indispensable for low emittance chambers. This paper analyzes the wake impedance and thermal behavior of a finger-band RF shield in the gate valve.

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.

A one-dimensional model of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) wakefield developed in Refs. [*,**] is used in computer codes for the simulation of relativistic electron beams. It includes transient effects at the entrance and exit from a bending magnet of finite length. In the ultra-relativistic limit, v=c, the exit CSR wake decays inversely proportional to the distance from the magnet end. To calculate the total energy loss of the beam one needs to integrate this wake to infinity, but the integral diverges. This means that one has to either drop the assumption of the infinite value of the Lorentz factor or take into account the shielding effect of the metal walls in the vacuum chamber. In practice, the latter effect is often dominant. In this work, we derive formulas for the CSR wake in the drift after an exit from the magnet that incorporates the shielding by two parallel metal plates. They allow computing the energy loss of different particles in the beam.

  In this paper, we improve a semi-analytical method, which can be not only used for bunch lengthening under equilibrium conditions, but also applied to the prediction of a periodic transient beam loading effect. This periodic transient is induced by the presence of the passive harmonic cavity and might be encountered under specific conditions for a ultra-low emittance storage ring with a higher beam current.

  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.

The interest in controlling emittance dilution effects due to off-axis beam transport in accelerator cavities and the resulting dipolar modes is especially important for the facilities with lower emittance beams. The Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology (FAST) facility has a unique configuration of two single cavities after the photocathode rf gun followed by a cryomodule. The second capture cavity (CC2) was run 15 kHz off resonance and without rf power while a 25-MeV beam was injected into it. The beam centroid effects were tracked by 10 rf button BPMs with bunch-by-bunch position readout capability downstream in a 12-m drift. Possible LRW effects seemed to dominate our previously observed near-resonant HOM effects at mode 14 in this cavity. This mode also shifted in frequency compared to that of the tuned case based on direct measurements. Submacropulse vertical position slewing of 1400 microns at 11 m downstream was observed with a 125 pC/bunch, 50 bunches per macropulse, and 25-MeV beam. The y-position slew amplitudes as a function of z were also measured. Horizontal positions also showed a slew effect. Both are emittance-dilution effects which one wants to mitigate.

In previous experiments at the Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology (FAST) facility, the effects of higher-order modes (HOMs) in TESLA-type cavities on submacropulse centroid motion were elucidated*. We now have extended our investigations to short-range wakefields (SRWs) in these cavities. The latter result in submicropulse effects where the transverse wakefields cause head-tail centroid shifts. We used a Hamamatsu C5680 UV-visible synchroscan streak camera to synchronously sum the OTR from each of the 50 micropulses in the macropulse. We generated the y-t effect in the 41-MeV beam by purposely steering the beam off axis in y at the entrance of the first capture cavity. The head-tail transverse kicks within the 11-ps-long micropulses of 500 pC each were observed at the 100-micron level for steering off-axis in one cavity and several 100 microns for two cavities. These SRW results will be compared to simulations from the ASTRA model of a single micropulse in FAST. Since the SRW kicks go inversely with energy, these emittance-dilution effects are particularly relevant to the LCLS-II injector commissioning plans where <1 MeV beam will be injected into a TESLA-type cryomodule.

The preservation of low emittance of electron beams during transport in the accelerating structures of large facilities is an ongoing challenge. In the cases of the TESLA-type superconducting rf cavities currently used in the European X-ray Free-electron Laser (XFEL) and the under-construction Linac Coherent Light Source upgrade (LCLS-II), off-axis beam transport may result in emittance dilution due to transverse long-range wakefields (LRWs) and short-range wakefields (SRW)***. To investigate such effects, experiments were performed at the Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology (FAST) facility with its unique configuration of two TESLA-type cavities after the photocathode rf gun followed by an 8-cavity cryomodule CM). We generated beam trajectory changes with the H/V125 corrector set located 4 m upstream of the cryomodule. At 125 pC/bunch, 50 bunches, 25-MeV input, and 100-MeV exit energy, we observed for the first time submacropulse position slews of up to 500 microns at locations ~3 m after the CM and a centroid oscillation at a difference frequency of 240 kHz further downstream. Both are emittance-dilution effects which we mitigated with selective upstream beam steering.

During the estimates of impedance budget for the Electron Storage Ring (ESR) of Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), various codes, including GdfidL, CST and ECHO3D, have been used to calculate the short-range wake-fields due to the vacuum components. The ECHO 3D code demonstrates more reliable results for the tapered type of structures rather than the GdfidL code, where the stepsize needs to be dramatically decreased to achieve a high-performance calculation. Impedance of the following components are discussed and compared in details: Interaction Region (IR) chamber, bellows, and synchrotron radiation mask (flange absorber).

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.

  Design work is underway for the upgrade of the Advanced Light Source (ALS-U) to a diffraction-limited soft x-rays radiation source. Like other 4th-generation light source machines, the ALS-U multiple-bend achromat storage-ring (SR) is potentially sensitive to beam-coupling impedance effects. This paper presents the SR broad-band impedance budget in both the longitudinal and transverse planes. In our modeling we follow the commonly accepted approach of separating the resistive-wall and the geometric parts of the impedance, the former being described by analytical formulas and the latter obtained by numerical electromagnetic codes (primarily CST Studio software) assuming perfectly conducting materials. We discuss the main sources of impedance. Results of our analysis are the basis for the single bunch instability study and would feedback on the design of critical vacuum components.

In order to make a full use of the whole proton bunch to drive large amplitude plasma wakefields and suppress the uncontrolled growth of any possible instabilities at the head of the proton bunch, the AWAKE Run 2 experiment plans to use an electron bunch to seed the formation of the proton bunch self-modulation. Additionally, a density step in the plasma channel will be used to freeze the selfmodulation process to keep the wakefield amplitude. In this work, numerical simulations performed with FBPIC are used to investigate the electron seeded proton self-modulation and the effect of the plasma density step as well.

In the physics plan for AWAKE Run 2, two known effects, beam loading the longitudinal wakefield and beam matching to the pure plasma ion channel, will be implemented for the better control of electron acceleration. It is founded in our study of beam matching that the transverse profile of the initial witness beam have a significant impact on its acceleration quality. In this paper, particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are used to study factors that affect the acceleration quality of electron beams with different transverse profiles.

Accelerators and the experiments that they enable are some of the largest, most data-intensive, and most complex scientific systems in existence. The interrelations between machine subsystems are complicated and often nonlinear. The system dynamics involve large parameter spaces that evolve over multiple relevant time scales and accelerator systems. Any accelerator-based experiments and applications are almost always difficult to model. LIV. DAT, the Liverpool Centre for Doctoral Training in Data-intensive science, was established in 2017 as a hub for training students in Big Data science. The centre currently has 36 PhD students that are working across nuclear, particle and astrophysics, as well as in accelerator science. This paper presents results from R&D into betatron radiation models and beam parameter reconstruction for plasma acceleration experiments at FACET-II, simulations for MeV energy gain in dielectric structures driven by a CO2 laser, and modelling of seeded self-modulation of long elliptical bunches in plasma. It also gives an overview of the training program offered to the LIV. DAT students.

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a high luminosity, (  ∼  1034  \textrm{cm}-2 \textrm{s}-1 ) accelerator facility colliding polarized electron beam with different ion species ranging from lighter nuclei (proton, deuterium) to heavier nuclei (gold, uranium). Design of a stripline injection kicker for the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) of EIC for beams with the rigidity of  ∼  81 T-m poses some technical challenges due to expected shorter bunch spacing and higher peak current of EIC. This paper focuses on the optimization of the EIC hadron ring injection kicker. Starting from the 2D cross-section design which includes the selection of electrodes shape, we describe the optimization of the kicker’s cross-section. Then we discuss converting this 2D geometry to 3D by adding essential components for the stripline kicker and the 3D optimization techniques that we employed. Finally, we show simulation results for the optimized geometry including wakefields and Time Domain Reflection (TDR) from one feedthrough to another.

  Masks are commonly used in photon light sources to protect sensitive elements from synchrotron radiations. In the ultra-low emittance rings, small aperture vacuum chambers are adopted in order to reach the very high gradient in the quadrupoles, while many masks are required due to the high radiation power density. Therefore, the impedance of the masks becomes one of the dominant contributors to the impedance budget. In this paper, the impedance is evaluated among different mask designs. Meanwhile, the impedance cross-talk between adjacent masks is discussed.

  Improving the accuracy of the impedance model of an accelerator is important for keeping beam instabilities and power loss under control. Here, by means of the PyHEAD- TAIL tracking code, we first review the longitudinal mi- crowave instability threshold for FCC-ee by taking into ac- count the longitudinal impedance model evaluated so far. Moreover, we present the results of beam dynamics simula- tions, including both the longitudinal and transverse wake- fields due to the resistive wall, in order to evaluate the influ- ence of the bunch length on the transverse mode coupling instability. The results of the transverse beam dynamics are also compared with the Vlasov solver DELPHI.

The interaction of charged beams with the surrounding accelerating structures requires a thorough investigation due to potential negative effects on the phase space quality. Indeed, the wakefields acting back on the beam are responsible for emittance dilution and instabilities, such as the beam break-up, which limit the performances of electron-based radiation sources and linear colliders. Here we introduce a new tracking code which is meant to investigate the effects of short-range transverse wakefields in linear accelerators. The tracking is based on quasi-analytical models for the beam dynamics which, in addition to the basic optics specified by the applied fields, include dipole wakefield forces and a simple approach to account for space-charge effects. Such features provide a reliable tool which easily allows to inspect the performances of a linac. To validate the model, a parallel analysis for a reference case is performed with well-known beam dynamics codes, and comparisons are shown. As an illustrative application, we discuss a study on alignment tolerances evaluating the emittance growth induced by misaligned accelerating sections.

THPAB043 A Superconducting Undulator for CompactLight: Resistive Wall Wakefield Analysis undulator, impedance, electron, FEL 3841

  The CompactLight project is an advanced X-ray FEL light source, with high-frequency, high-gradient linacs and compact undulators. Lower electron energies give higher energy efficiency and a smaller environmental footprint. The extremely short bunch lengths (few fs) and narrow undulator gaps (4 mm) drastically increase the impact of resistive wall wakefields on the lasing process. The longitudinal resistive wall wakefield impedance is calculated in the framework of the surface impedance approach, in accordance with anomalous skin effect (ASE) theory. The dependence of the electron energy loss factor and the correlated energy spread of the bunch on the residual resistivity ratio (RRR) for both copper and aluminum is much higher for long (100 fs) than for ultra-short (6 fs) bunches. This is due to a known property of the longitudinal wakefield impedance - the field acting on a single particle traversing a resistive vessel does not depend on the conductivity of the vessel. The wakefields generated by the ultra-short bunch are already close to that of a single-particle regime and this leads to interesting consequences which are discussed in the present work.

  The worldwide first in-vacuum elliptical undulator, IVUE32, is being developed at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin. The 2.5 m long device with a period length of 3.2 cm and a minimum gap of about 7 mm is to be installed in the BESSY II storage ring. It will deliver soft X-radiation to several beamlines. The proximity of the undulator structure to the electron beam makes the device susceptible to wakefield effects which can influence beam stability. A complete understanding of its impedance characteristics is required prior to installation and operation, as unforeseen heating of components could have catastrophic consequences. Since its complex structure makes numerical calculations, such as CST simulations, at high frequency very resource intensive, bench testing the device may proof invaluable. A Goubau-line is a single wire transmission line for high frequency surface waves with a transverse electric field resembling that of a charged particle beam out to a certain radial distance. This can be used to measure the impedance of vacuum chamber components. A concept optimized for bench testing IVUE32-components will be discussed and progress towards the test bench set up will be shown.

The dielectric wakefield acceleration (DWA) program at FACET produced a multitude of new physics results that range from GeV/m acceleration to the discovery of high field-induced conductivity in THz waves, and beyond, to a demonstration of positron-driven wakes. Here we review the rich program now developing in the DWA experiments at FACET-II. With increases in beam quality, a key feature of this program is extended interaction lengths, near 0.5 m, permitting GeV-class acceleration. Detailed physics studies in this context include beam breakup and its control through the exploitation of DWA structure symmetry. The next step in understanding DWA limits requires the exploration of new materials with low loss tangent, large bandgap, and improved thermal characteristics. Advanced structures with photonic features for mode confinement and exclusion of the field from the dielectric, as well as quasi-optical handling of coherent Cerenkov signals is discussed. Use of DWA for laser-based injection and advanced temporal diagnostics is examined.

We show how to treat transverse collective instabilities when operating in the vicinity of the coupling (or tune difference) resonance. We begin by defining the approximate independent degrees of freedom including both linear coupling and chromatic effects. We then show how the destabilizing force due to wakefields and the stabilizing chromatic effects can be described by a linear combination of the horizontal and vertical motion that depends upon how close one is to the resonance. The theory agrees well with tracking studies, and will be relevant for those next-generation storage rings that plan to operate near the coupling resonance to produce nearly round beams, including the multi-bend achromat upgrade for the Advanced Photon Source.

THPAB076 Effects of Chromaticity and Synchrotron Emission on Coupled-Bunch Transverse Stability damping, simulation, synchrotron, coupling 3937

We present a theory that can compute the transverse coupled-bunch instability growth rates at any chromaticity and for any longitudinal potential provided only that the long-range wakefield varies slowly over the bunch. The theory is expressed in terms of the usual coupled-bunch eigenvalues at zero chromaticity, and when the longitudinal motion is simple harmonic our solution only requires numerical root-finding that is easy to implement and fast to solve; the more general case requires some additional calculations but is still relatively fast. The theory predicts that the coupled-bunch growth rates can be significantly reduced when the chromatic betatron tune spread is larger than the coupled-bunch growth rate at zero chromaticity. Our theoretical results are compared favorably with tracking simulations for the long-range resistive wall instability, and we also indicate how damping and diffusion from synchrotron emission can further reduce or even stabilize the dynamics.

The stability of particle bunches undergoing seeded self-modulation (SSM) over tens or hundreds of meters is crucial to the generation of GV/m wakefields that can accelerate electron beams as proposed for use in several high energy plasma-based linear colliders. Here, 3D particle-in-cell simulations using QuickPIC are compared to an analytical model of seeded self-modulation (SSM) of elliptical beam envelopes using linear wakefield theory. It is found that there is quantitative agreement between simulations and analytical predictions for the envelope in the early growth of the SSM. A scaling law is derived for the reduction of the maximum overall modulation growth rate with aspect ratio and is found to match well with simulation.

We propose here to exploit the quadrupole wakefields in an alternating symmetry slab-based dielectric wakefield accelerator (DWA) to produce second-order focusing. The resultant focusing is found to be strongly dependent on longitudinal position in the bunch. We analyze this effect with analytical estimates and electromagnetic PIC simulations. We examine the use of this scenario to induce beam stability in very high gradient DWA, with positive implications for applications in linear colliders and free-electron lasers.

THPAB203 Update of the Tracking Code RF-Track laser, simulation, scattering, space-charge 4180
 
  • A. Latina
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  During the last couple of years, the RF-Track particle tracking code has seen a tremendous increase in the number of its applications: medical linacs, compact injector electron guns, and positron sources are among the main ones. Following a work of consolidation of its internal structure, new simulation capabilities have been introduced, together with several new effects: arbitrary orientation of elements in space, full element overlap, short- and long-range wakefields, and laser-beam interaction through Compton scattering are the most significant ones. In this paper, some of these new features are presented and discussed.

THPAB209 Tracking Complex Re-Circulating Machines with PLACET2 radiation, synchrotron-radiation, electron, synchrotron 4197
 
  • R.A.J. Costa, A. Latina
    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  We present the latest version of the multi-particle tracking package PLACET2. This software was designed to track multiple electron bunches through re-circulating machines with complex topologies, such as the recombination complex of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), energy-recovery linacs such as the Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC), racetracks and others. This update also expands the capabilities of PLACET2 to track heavier particles such as muons. In addition to simulation, PLACET2 was also developed to allow beamline optimization scans, evaluating beam properties and tuning the beamline parameters at runtime either standalone or accessing the optimization tools present in the Octave and Python packages, with which it interfaces. This paper presents and benchmarks PLACET2’s latest features, such as coherent and incoherent synchrotron radiation, long and short wakefields and power extraction.

A new high-luminosity Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is being designed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Stable operation of the electron beam at an average current of 2.5A within 1100 bunches with a 7mm bunch length is one of the challenging tasks in achieving an electron-proton luminosity of 1033-1034 cm-2 ses−1 range. Beam induced heating, short-range and long-range wakefield analysis is discussed for some of the vacuum components of the electron storage ring (ESR), the hadron storage ring (HSR), and the rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) and as well as the impact of the collective effects on the beam stability.

The interaction region chamber has a complex geometry at the crossing location of electron and proton beam pipes. In the direction of the electron beam, the pipe is designed in a way to avoid joints with cavity characteristics. The horizontal slot on the upstream side and the tapered transition on the downstream side are applied to minimize the IR chamber contribution to the total impedance of the electron ring and to avoid generating Higher Order Modes and heating-related issues. The synchrotron radiation mask is included to protect the IR chamber from synchrotron radiation without significant aperture reduction. In the direction of the proton beam, the main area for optimization is the transition area right after the detector.

The horizontal/vertical emittances, the bunch length, and the energy spread increase have been studied in the NSLS-II as a function of a single bunch current. The monotonic growth of the horizontal emittance dependence and the energy spread dependence on the single bunch current below the microwave instability threshold can be explained by the Intrabeam Scattering Effect (IBS). The IBS effect results in an increase in the bunch length and the microwave instability thresholds. It was observed experimentally by varying the vertical emittance. To compare with experimental data, particle tracking simulations have been performed with the ELEGANT code including both IBS and the total longitudinal wakefield calculated from the 3D electromagnetic code GdfidL. The same particle tracking simulations have also been applied for the APS-U project, where IBS is predicted to produce only a marginal effect.

We present the design of a Compton spectrometer for use at FACET-II. A sextupole is used for magnetic spectral analysis, giving a broad dynamic range (180 keV through 28 MeV) and the capability to capture an energy-angular double-differential spectrum in a single shot. At low gamma energies, below 1 MeV, Compton spectroscopy becomes increasingly challenging as the scattering cross-section becomes more isotropic. To extend the range of the spectrometer down to around 180 keV, we use a 3D-printed tungsten collimator at the detector plane to preferentially select forward-scattered electrons at the Compton edge.

  Beam brightness, a key figure of merit of RF photocathode guns, can be improved by increasing the cathode surface field which suppresses emittance growth from space charge. The surface field in normal-conducting structures is mainly limited by RF breakdown and it has been experimentally discovered that RF breakdown rate exponentially depends on RF pulse length. A highly over-coupled 1.5-cell X-band photocathode gun has been developed to be powered by 9 ns RF pulses with 3 ns rising time, 3 ns flat-top, and 3 ns falling time generated by an X-band metallic power extractor. In the recent experiment at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility, cathode surface field up to ~350 MV/m with a low breakdown rate has been obtained under ~250 MW input power. Strong beam loading from dark current was observed during RF conditioning and quickly recovered to a negligible level after the gun reached the maximum gradient. Detailed high-power test results and data analysis will be reported in this manuscript.

  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.
