SUPB004 | Linac Optics Design for Multi-turn ERL Light Source | linac, cavity, acceleration, cryomodule | 7 |
|
|||
The optics simulation group at HZB is designing a multi-turn energy recovery linac-based light source. Using the superconducting Linac technology, the Femto-Science-Factory (FSF) will provide its users with ultra-bright photon beams of angstrom wavelength at 6 GeV. The FSF is intended to be a multi-user facility and offer a variety of operation modes. In this paper a design of transverse optic of the beam motion in the Linacs is presented. An important point in the optics design was minimization of the beta-functions in the linac at all beam passes to suppress beam break-up (BBU) instability. | |||
MO2A02 | Increased Understanding of Beam Losses from the SNS Linac Proton Experiment | proton, linac, focusing, quadrupole | 115 |
|
|||
The SNS Linac has been in operation for 6 years, with its power being gradually increased. A major operation goal is the decrease of beam loss. It has been recently suggested that intra- H–beam stripping contributes significantly to beam losses in an H− linac. This was tested experimentally at SNS by accelerating a proton beam. Experimental analysis results are in good agreement with the theoretical estimates. In this paper we present the operational status and experience at the SNS linac, with emphasis on understanding beam loss in terms of intra-H–beam stripping. | |||

MOPB003 | Recent Improvements to the Control of the CTF3 High-Current Drive Beam | lattice, controls, linac, dipole | 180 |
|
|||
In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the CLIC multi-TeV linear collider option, the drive beam complex at the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN is providing high-current electron pulses for a number of related experiments. By means of a system of electron pulse compression and bunch frequency multiplication, a fully loaded, 120 MeV linac is used to generate 140 ns electron pulses of around 30 Amperes. Subsequent deceleration of this high-current drive beam demonstrates principles behind the CLIC acceleration scheme, and produces 12 GHz RF power for experimental purposes. As the facility has progressed toward routine operation, a number of studies aimed at improving the drive beam performance have been carried out. Additional feedbacks, automated steering programs, and improved control of optics and dispersion have contributed to a more stable, reproducible drive beam with consequent benefits for the experiments. | |||
MOPB014 | Electron Model of a Dogbone RLA with Multi-Pass Arcs | linac, electron, quadrupole, dipole | 201 |

Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. Supported in part by USDOE STTR Grant DE-FG02-08ER86351 The design of a dogbone RLA with linear-field multi-pass arcs was earlier developed for accelerating muons in a Neutrino Factory and a Muon Collider. It allows for efficient use of expensive RF while the multi-pass arc design based on linear combined-function magnets exhibits a number of advantages over separate-arc or pulsed-arc designs. Such an RLA may have applications going beyond muon acceleration. This paper describes a possible straightforward test of this concept by scaling a GeV scale muon design for electrons. Scaling muon momenta by the muon-to-electron mass ratio leads to a scheme, in which a 4.35 MeV/c electron beam is injected in the middle of a 2.9 MeV/pass linac with two double-pass return arcs and is accelerated to 17.4 MeV/c in 4.5 passes. All spatial dimensions including the orbit distortion are scaled by a factor of 7.5, which arises from scaling the 200 MHz muon RF to a readily available 1.5 GHz. The footprint of a complete RLA fits in a 25x7 m area. The scheme utilizes only fixed field magnets for both injection and extraction. The hardware requirements are not very demanding making it straightforward to implement the scaled design using available equipment. |

TUPLB10 | Non-destructive Real-time Monitor to Measure 3D-bunch Charge Distribution with Arrival Timing to Maximize 3D Overlapping for HHG-seeded EUV-FEL | FEL, laser, electron, feedback | 467 |
|
|||
Non-destructive, shot-by-shot real-time monitors have been developed to measure 3D bunch charge distribution (BCD). This 3D monitor has been developed to monitor 3-D overlapping electron bunches and higher harmonic generation (HHG) pulses in a seeded VUV-FEL. This ambitious monitor is based on an Electro-Optic (EO) multiple sampling technique in a manner of spectral decoding that is non-destructive and enables real-time measurements of the longitudinal and transverse BCD. This monitor was materialized in simultaneously probing eight EO crystals that surround the electron beam axis with a radial polarized and hollow EO-probe laser pulse. In 2009, the concept of 3D-BCD monitor was verified through electron bunch measurements at SPring-8. The further target of the temporal resolution is ~30 fs (FWHM), utilizing an organic EO crystal (DAST) instead of conventional inorganic EO crystals (ZnTe, GaP, etc.) The EO-sampling with DAST crystal is expected to measure a bunch length less than 30 fs (FWHM). In 2011, the first bunch measurement with an organic EO crystal (DAST) was successfully demonstrated in the VUV-FEL accelerator at SPring-8. | |||

TUPB013 | Update on the Commissioning Effort at the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility | emittance, laser, electron, quadrupole | 504 |
|
|||
The SwissFEL Injector Test Facility at the Paul Scherrer Institute is the principal test bed and demonstration plant for the SwissFEL project, which aims at realizing a hard-X-ray Free Electron Laser by 2017. Since the spring of 2012 the photoinjector facility has been running with all RF cavities in full operation, allowing beam characterization at energies around 230 MeV with bunch charges between 10 and 200 pC. We give an overview of recent commissioning efforts with particular emphasis on efforts to optimize the emittance of the uncompressed beam. | |||
