MOPOPT055 | A Gas Jet Beam Profile Monitor for Beam Halo Measurement | simulation, experiment, electron, diagnostics | 389 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by the HL-LHC-UK phase II project funded by STFC under Grant Ref: ST/T001925/1 and the STFC Cockcroft Institute core grant No. ST/G008248/1. The gas jet beam profile monitor is a non-invasive beam monitor that is currently being commissioned at Cockcroft Institute. It utilises a supersonic gas curtain which transverses the beam at an angle of 45 degrees and measures beam-induced ionisation interactions of the gas to produce a 2D transverse beam profile image. This paper builds upon previously used single-slit skimmers and improves their ability to form the gas jet into a desired distribution for imaging beam halo. A skimmer device removes off-momentum gas particles and forms the jet into a dense thin curtain, suitable for transverse imaging of the beam. The use of a novel double-slit skimmer is shown to provide a mask-like void of gas over the beam core, increasing the relative intensity of the halo interactions for measurement. Such a non-invasive monitor would be beneficial to storage rings by providing real time beam characteristic measurements without affecting the beam. More specifically, beam halo behaviour is a key characteristic associated with beam losses within storage rings. |

TUPOPT053 | Study of Bunch Length Measurement by Forward Coherent Smith-Purcell Radiation | radiation, experiment, electron, detector | 1125 |
|
|||
We are currently conducting basic research on the development of a non-destructive real-time bunch length monitor using coherent Smith-Purcell radiation at the t-ACTS test accelerator at the Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University. The angular distribution of coherent Smith-Purcell radiation reflects the longitudinal shape of the electron bunch. Using this, we came up with a method to measure the bunch length from the peak angle of the angular distribution. In this presentation, we mainly report the results of an experiment to determine the bunch length from the peak angle of the angular distribution of coherent Smith-Purcell radiation using a 100 fs electron beam of t-ACTS. | |||

TUPOTK030 | X-Rays Energy Measurements During the RFQ Conditioning at the European Spallation Source | rfq, detector, electron, ion-source | 1275 |
|
|||
The Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) was conditioned at the European Spallation Source during spring 2021. We used part of the conditioning time to estimate the accelerating potential within the RFQ analyzing the x-rays bremsstrahlung radiation emitted by the electrons released and accelerated in the RFQ. The results of these measurements are in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. | |||

WEPOTK008 | Future Neutrino Beam Studies Under the Framework of Physics Beyond Colliders | focusing, experiment, target, detector | 2044 |
|
|||
A Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) initiative was recently established at CERN to exploit the full scientific potential of its accelerator complex and scientific infrastructure to tackle fundamental open questions in particle physics through experiments complementary to those in current and future colliders. This initiative brings together similar studies to optimize resources globally in order to reach a common goal and promote scientific development efficiently. In this work, we present the work performed by the Conventional Beam Working Group (CBWG) and specifically from the Neutrino Beams (NB) subgroup. The subgroup currently deals with two novel neutrino-tagged beams projects, ENUBET and NUTAG, as well as with a more classic, low energy, beamline dedicated to hadron cross-sections for neutrino beams with the NA61 experiment already installed in the H2 beamline of the CERN North Area. This contribution will detail the advances made with these three projects as well as their status and future plans. | |||

THPOPT065 | Operation of X-Ray Beam Position Monitors with Zero Bias Voltage at Alba Front Ends | photon, electron, operation, radiation | 2747 |
|
|||
Blade-type X-ray Beam Position Monitors (XBPMs) are customarily operated with a negative bias voltage applied to the blades in order to prevent the transference of photoelectrons between the blades, and hence to maximize the signal at each blade and to avoid cross-talk. This was the selected approach at ALBA since the start of its operation for users in 2012. However, over the years the insulation provided by the ceramic pieces separating the blades from the support structure has degraded progressively, giving rise to an ever-increasing leakage current not related with the photon beam to be monitored. On 2020 the level of these leak currents had already become comparable to the photocurrents generated by the photon beam itself, making the readings from many of the XBPMs unreliable. Following the example from other facilities, we decided to remove the bias voltage from the blades and to test the performance of the XBPMs under these conditions, with such good results that we apply this method also for the new, non degraded, XBPMs. In this paper we present the approach used at ALBA to analyse XBPM data, and our experience operating them with zero bias voltage. | |||

THPOMS048 | Challenge Based Innovation "Accelerators for the Environment" | network, FEM, HOM | 3077 |
|
|||
Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101004730. We present an initiative to foster new ideas about the applications of accelerators to the Environment. Called "Challenge Based Innovation" this initiative will gather four teams each of six master-level students each coming from different academic backgrounds. As part of the EU-funded I.FAST project (Innovation Fostering in Accelerator Science and Technology), they will gather during 10 days in Archamps near CERN to receive high level lectures on accelerators and the environment and to brainstorm on possible new applications of accelerators for the environment. At the end of the gathering, they will present their project at CERN to a jury made of experts. |
