  The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a 5 MW, 2.5 MeV long pulse proton machine. It represents a big jump in power compare to the existing spallation facilities. The design phase is well under way, with the delivery of a Conceptual Design Report expected in 2012, and a Technical Design Report in 2013. Why and how the 5 MW goal influences the parameter choice will be describe.

TH2A02 SPIRAL2 Accelerator Construction Progress 773
 
  • P. Bertrand, R. Ferdinand

  The SPIRAL2 superconducting accelerator installation starts in 2012. The major components have been tested in the various partner laboratories, and the building construction is well engaged. The management of the interfaces between process and buildings is a strategic point in an underground project with strong space constraints. This contribution will describe the performances of the various components of the SPIRAL2 accelerator, and the methodology put in place in order to insure the integration of the process inside the buildings.

  The Linac4 project at CERN is at an advanced state of construction. Prototypes of the different types of accelerating structures (RFQ, DTL, CCDTL and pi-mode structures) have been built and are presently tested. This paper gives the status of the cavity production and reviews the RF and mechanical design of the various structure types. Furthermore the production and the first test results shall be presented.

We report first demonstration of optical frequency current shot-noise suppression in a relativistic e-beam. This process is made possible by collective Coulomb interaction between the electrons of a cold intense beam during beam drift, and is essentially a process of longitudinal beam-plasma oscillation.[1] Suppression of beam current noise below the classical “shot-noise” level has been known in the microwave tubes art [2]. This is the first time that it is demonstrated in the optical regime. We predict that the scheme can be extended to the XUV and possibly to shorter wavelengths with further development of technology. The fundamental current shot-noise determines the level of incoherent spontaneous radiation emission from electron-beam optical radiation sources and SASE-FELs [3]. Suppressing shot-noise would make it possible to attain spontaneous emission sub-radiance [4] and surpass the classical coherence limits of seed-injected FELs. The effect was demonstrated by measuring sub-linear growth as a function of current of the OTR Radiation. This finding indicates that the beam charge homogenizes due to the collective interaction, and its distribution becomes sub-Poissonian.
