Electron-positron collider VEPP-2000 operates with two detectors SND and CMD-3 at the energy range 500 - 1000 MeV per beam. A number of studies of the round beam operation have been done, in that colliding beam parameter value 0.15 was acheaved. Buster upgrade up to 1 GeV energy is in progress as well as beam transfer chanel from new positron source. These improvements will open way for the collider luminosity enhancement.

  Radionuclide diagnostics that allows most diseases to be diagnosed at an early stage has recently been in the focus of attention. The current concept of radionuclide diagnostics advancement takes into account Russian geographic and demographic features and supports the application of the home-made equipment. As a basis, the concept assumes the establishment of regional diagnostic centers at hospitals in each Russian Federal district. In each such a center, a cyclotron of the CC-18/9 model, modules for radiopharmaceuticals' synthesis, single-photon emission (SPECT) and positron (PET) scanners should be installed. The yield of radiopharmaceuticals' production will satisfy the needs of such a center and of up to 30-35 SPECT-"satellites" located in diagnostic departments at hospitals situated up to 1000 km from the center. In future, on the basis of these diagnostic departments, autonomous PET-centers can be established, each equipped with СС-12 cyclotrons, modules for radiopharmaceuticals' synthesis and with 3-4 PET scanners. Implementation of the Federal Targeted Program on the serial production of cyclotrons and SPECT-scanners will allow the examination of population to be increased within 5-6 years up to 1.0-1.2 million people per year.  
 
FRBOR02 Creating Stronger Accelerator Beams collider, klystron, linear-collider, luminosity 216

  Recently, at an ILC meeting in Tokyo, the Electron, Anti-Electron Beam strength was said to be about 7 milliamps, for the newest design of the planned International Linear Collider. This was about 1000 times the strength of Colliders in the last decade. This author would like to explore a different way of feeding Anti-Electrons and Electrons into a Collider that should increase the Potential Beam Strength by about 100 times. The question then is how to use Klystrons to maintain an enhanced Beam Strength and whether the larger number of Electrons and Anti-Electrons would cause too much damage to the Accelerator walls. This method should work for Protons and Anti-Protons as well.

  The project of the Low Energy Positron Toroidal Accumulator (LEPTA) is under development at JINR. The LEPTA facility is a small positron storage ring equipped with the electron coolin system. The project positron energy is of 2 – 10 keV. The main goal of the facility is to generate an intense flux of positronium atoms – the bound state of electron and positron. Storage ring of LEPTA facility was commissioned in September 2004 and was under development up to now. The positron injector has been constructed in 2005 - 2010, and beam transfer channel – in 2011. By the end of August 2011 experiments on electron and positron injection into the ring have been started. The recent results are presented here.

  A bunch of positrons confined in a cylindrical Penning-Malmberg trap can be compressed radially by applying a rotating asymmetric dipolar electric field. An explanation of this effect presented in the report is based on the solutions of particle 3D dynamics equations in the fields of the trap taking into account the positron collisions with a neutral buffer gas. The result agrees well with experimental data obtained at the positron injector of LEPTA facility at JINR. Essential feature of the compression process is resonant character of applied rotating field and coincidence its frequency with the frequency of longitudinal positron bouncing in the trap.

The measurement of beam parameters during the commissioning of VEPP-5 Damping Ring is presented. Coherent betatron oscillations of the 380-MeV electron beam were induced by a fast kick. Electrostatic beam position monitors were used to obtain the turn-by-turn transverse beam position data. The form and behaviour of the envelope of oscillations are determined by the beam parameters, chromaticity and nonlinear detuning. Beam emittance and energy spread values have been obtained from the analysis of the beam envelope, nonlinear detuning and chromaticity measurements. The results are in a good agreement with theoretical predictions which were made for calibrated model of the Damping Ring. Independent analysis of betatron spectra envelope have been performed for energy spread measurements as well.

  The Low Energy Positron Toroidal Accumulator (LEPTA) at JINR proposed for generation of positronium in flight can be used for positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS). The positron injector of the LEPTA facility can generate continuous slow positron beam of the intensity up to 1*107 s−1 at the energy in the range of a few eV to 100 keV and width of the spectrum 1-2 eV. The injector is based on radioactive 22Na isotope. The solid neon is used as moderator to generate monochromatic positron beam. It is known that positrons implanted into the matter can localize the defects of structure as vacancies, clusters of vacancies and pores. Observation of gamma quanta (511 keV) from annihilation process allows to obtain the information about the presence, concentration and kind of defects. Nowadays, the experiments with the use of slow positrons beam instead of standard isotopic sources are more popular. The progress in the creation of Doppler broadening of annihilation gamma line spectrometer will be presented here. In the simplest version, it is a set composed of a HpGe detector, a preampliefier, an ampliefier, a MC analyzer and a PC computer. This combination makes possible the observation of changes in 511 keV gamma line, calculation characteristics for PAS parameters and in effect to deduce about defects concentration and their chemical surrounding.

  A new beam position monitor (BPM) electronics has been designed, manufactured and tested in VEPP-5 preinjector. Preinjector BPM system measures position of single electron and positron bunches for each injection cycle. New BPM electronics provides more high sensitivity with respect to existing one developed in 2004. The system can measure the position of bunches with 108 - 1010 particles per bunch. The resolution of measurements of single bunch is better than 10 mkm for 1010 particles per bunch. The features of BPM electronics design, the main parameters and results obtained in VEPP-5 preinjector are presented.
