MOPEA082 | The ALPHA Project at IU CEEM | electron, scattering, dipole, linac | 268 |
|
|||
We are building a low energy electron storage ring that has many desirable properties, such as varying momentum compaction factor, damping partition numbers, favorable betatron tunes for multiturn accumulations, and excellent dynamic aperture. This storage ring can be used for debunching rf linac beams in one turn, for compression of linac pulses, and more importantly for a compact photon source based on inverse Compton scattering of laser beams. |

MOPEC013 | Vernier Scan Results from the First RHIC Proton Run at 250 GeV | luminosity, proton, heavy-ion, collider | 483 |
|
|||
Using the vernier scan or Van der Meer scan technique, where one beam is swept stepwise across the other while measuring the collision rate as a function of beam displacement, the transverse beam profiles, the luminosity and the effective cross section of the detector in question can be measured. This report briefly recalls the vernier scan method and presents results from the first RHIC polarized proton run at 250 GeV/beam in 2009. |

MOPEC022 | Compact 400-MHz Half-wave Spoke Resonator Crab Cavity for the LHC Upgrade | cavity, HOM, coupling, impedance | 504 |
|
|||
Crab cavities are proposed for the LHC upgrade to improve the luminosity. There are two possible crab cavity installations for the LHC upgrade: the global scheme at Interaction Region (IR) 4 where the beam-beam separation is about 420-mm, and the local scheme at the IR5 where the beam-beam separation is only 194-mm. One of the design requirements as the result of a recent LHC-Crab cavity workshop is to develop a 400-MHz cavity design that can be utilized for either the global or local schemes at IR4 or IR5. Such a design would offer more flexibility for the final upgrade installation, as the final crabbing scheme is yet to be determined, and save R&D cost. The cavity size of such a design, however, is limited by the beam-beam separation at IR5 which can only accommodate a cavity with a horizontal size of about 145-mm, which is a design challenge for a 400-MHz cavity. To meet the new design requirements, we have developed a compact 400-MHz half-wave spoke resonator (HWSR) crab cavity that can fit into the tight spaces available at either IR4 or IR5. In this paper, we present the optimization of the HWSR cavity shape and the design of HOM, LOM, and SOM couplers for wakefield damping. |

MOPEC028 | Recent Triplet Vibration Studies in RHIC | quadrupole, feedback, laser, interaction-region | 516 |
|
|||
We report on recent developments for mitigating vibrations of the quadrupole magnets near the interaction regions of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). High precision accelerometers, geophones, and a laser vibrometer were installed around one of the two interaction points to characterize the frequencies of the mechanical motion. In addition actuators were mounted directly on the quadrupole cryostats. Using as input the locally measured motion, dynamic damping of the mechanical vibrations has been demonstrated. In this report we present these measurements and measurements of the beam response. Future options for compensating the vibrations are discussed. |

MOPE009 | Improvement of the Resolution of SR Interferometer at KEK-ATF Damping Ring | emittance, optics, synchrotron, synchrotron-radiation | 972 |
|
|||
Some of the improvement were done for an SR interferometer with the Herschelian reflective optics*. Previously, the measured vertical beam size was limited to around 5μm with a double slit separation of 40mm and wavelength of 400nm at the ATF damping ring. Double slit separation was mainly limited to the effective aperture of the optical path between the source point and interferometer. This time, we re-aligned the optical path, and as a result, the effective aperture was increased. Using this re-alignment we can have a double slit separation of up to 60mm. To reduce air turbulence, the optical path was covered with a tight air duct. After these improvements were made, we succeeded in measuring a vertical beam size of 3.4μm with double slit separation of 60mm and wavelength of 550nm, which corresponds to 5pm of the vertical emittance assuming 3m of the beta function. * T.

MOPE088 | TE Wave Measurements of the Electron Cloud in the Cesr-TA Ring | electron, positron, wiggler, vacuum | 1188 |
|
|||
The CESR Damping Ring Test Accelerator collaboration (Cesr-TA) utilizes the CESR e+/e- storage ring at Cornell University for carrying out R&D activities critical for the ILC damping rings. In particular, various locations have been instrumented for the study of the electron cloud effects and their amelioration. In this paper we present the results obtained using the TE wave propagation method to study the electron cloud evolution and its dependence on several beam and machine parameters. Whenever possible, we have also compared our measurements with those obtained by using retarding field analyzers (RFA) with good agreement. Amongst the results obtained, we were able to detect a strong resonance of the electron cloud with the TE wave in regions of the beampipe where a dipole-like magnetic field is also present. Besides the standard transmission method, we are also developing an alternative procedure, the so-called resonant BPM, which can be used for a more localized measurement of the electron cloud density, which has already yielded promising results. |

MOPE090 | CesrTA x-Ray Beam Size Monitor Operation | emittance, positron, electron, synchrotron | 1194 |
|
|||
We report on the design and operation of the CesrTA x-ray beam size monitor (xBSM). The xBSM resolution must be sufficient to measure vertical beam sizes of order 10um by imaging 2-4keV synchrotron radiation photons onto a one-dimensional photodiode array. Instrumentation in the evacuated x-ray beam line includes upstream interchangeable optics elements (slits, coded apertures, and Fresnel zone plates), a monochromator and an InGaAs photodiode detector. The readout is a beam-synchronized FADC that is capable of parallel measurement of consecutive bunches with 4ns spacing. The xBSM has been used to measure beam sizes during the August 2009, November 2009, and April 2010 runs. Single turn measurements are fit to characteristic image shapes to extract beam sizes independent of position variations. The turn-averaged beam size provides feedback for low-emittance tuning. |

MOPE091 | Techniques for Observation of Beam Dynamics in the Presence of an Electron Cloud | electron, feedback, vacuum, positron | 1197 |
|
|||
During the last several years CESR has been studying the effects of electron clouds on stored beams in order to understand their impact on future linear-collider damping ring designs. One of the important issues is the way that the electron cloud alters the dynamics of bunches within the train. Techniques for observing the dynamical effects of beams interacting with the electron clouds have been developed. These methods will be discussed and examples of measurements will be presented. |

TUOAMH02 | LHC Crab-cavity Aspects and Strategy | cavity, luminosity, emittance, impedance | 1240 |
|
|||
The 3rd LHC Crab Cavity workshop (LHC-CC09) took place at CERN in October 2009. It reviewed the current status and identified a clear strategy towards a future crab-cavity implementation. Following the success of crab cavities in KEK-B and the strong potential for luminosity gain and leveling, CERN will pursue crab crossing for the LHC upgrade. We present the summaries of the various workshop sessions which have led to the LHC crab-cavity strategy, covering topics like layout, cryomodule design, construction, integration, validation, and planning. |

TUYMH02 | Electron Cloud at Low Emittance in CesrTA | emittance, electron, wiggler, positron | 1251 |
|
|||
The Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) has been reconfigured as a test accelerator (CesrTA) for a program of electron cloud (EC) research at ultra low emittance. The instrumentation in the ring has been upgraded with local diagnostics for measurement of cloud density and with improved beam diagnostics for the characterization of both the low emittance performance and the beam dynamics of high intensity bunch trains interacting with the cloud. Finally a range of EC mitigation methods have been deployed and tested. Measurements of cloud density and its impact on the beam under a range of conditions will be presented and compared with simulations. The effectiveness of a range of mitigation techniques will also be discussed. |

TUYMH03 | Developing Peta-Scalable Algorithms for Beam Dynamic Simulations | simulation, space-charge, plasma, proton | 1256 |
|
|||
Peta-scalable software packages for beam dynamic simulations are being developed and used at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. The standard Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method and direct Vlasov solvers in 4 dimensions have been developed and benchmarked with respect to each other. Both of them have been successfully run on 32 thousands processors on BG/P at Argonne National Laboratory. Challenges and prospects of developing Vlasov solvers in higher dimensions will be discussed. Several scalable Poisson solvers have been developed and incorporated with these software packages. Domain decomposition method has been used for the parallelization. In the future developments, these algorithms will be applied to hundreds of thousands processors for peta-scale computing. These software packages have been applied for the design of accelerators, and some large scale simulations will be shown and discussed. |

TUXRA01 | Commissioning of PETRA III | wiggler, feedback, emittance, synchrotron | 1280 |
|
|||
PETRA III is a new hard x-ray synchrotron radiation source at DESY in Hamburg operating at 6 GeV with an extremely low horizontal emittance of 1 nmrad. The new light source is the result of a conversion of the former storage ring PETRA II. The conversion was carried out from middle of 2007 till March 2009. One eighth of the 2304 m long storage ring was completely rebuild and houses now 14 undulator beam lines as well as the optical and experimental hutches. The remaining seven eighths have been modernized and refurbished and in addition twenty 4 m long damping wigglers have been installed. These are required to achieve the small design emittance. Commissioning of the new light source started at the end of March 2009. In this paper we present the results that have been achieved during commissioning and the experience gained during the first user runs. |

TUPEA067 | Preliminary Ground Motion Measurements at LNF Site for the Super B Project | ground-motion, site, feedback, luminosity | 1482 |
|
|||
Following previous measurements, more detailed preliminary ground motion measurements have been performed at the LNF site for the Super B project site characterization. First, results of vertical ground motion measurements done during 18 hours are shown in order to get an idea of the evolution of the ground motion amplitude with time. Secondly, measurements of ground motion (in the 3 directions of space) were performed at different locations on surface in order to evaluate and to compare the influence of various vibration sources. Then, results of ground motion coherence measured for different distances at two locations close to each other but with soft and rigid floor are compared. These measurements are also compared to the ones done in the ATF2 beam line where a special floor was built for stability. By this way, the results reveal that the LNF is a good site to use ground motion coherence properties for stability like it has been done for ATF2. |

TUPEB013 | Strong-strong Simulation for Super B Factories | simulation, luminosity, factory, radiation | 1542 |
|
|||
Super B factories are designed with very low emittance and very low beta function at the interaction point. The two beams collide with a large crossing angle, thus the overlap area of the beams is limited at a small part of their length. Simulation of the beam-beam effects is hard because of the longitudinal slice of the beam is the order of 100. We discuss two methods for the simulation. One is a simplified method, which is mixture of the particle in cell and Gaussian approximation. The other is fully strong-strong simulation using the particle in cell. The shifted Green function is used to calculate the beam-beam force for less overlap of the beam distribution. Luminosity and its degradation due to IP optics errors in Super B factories are discussed. |

TUPEB014 | Electron Cloud Instability in SuperKEKB Low Energy Ring | electron, simulation, positron, single-bunch | 1545 |
|
|||
Single bunch instability caused by electron cloud can depend on emittance, because the electron oscillation period in positron bunch is large. The single bunch instability should appear as a head-tail motion with synchro-beta frequency. We discuss the single bunch instability in low emittance rings, CesrTA, Super B factories and ILC damping ring with focusing the threshold and synchro-beta oscillation. |

TUPEB018 | CSR in the SuperKEKB Damping Ring | impedance, simulation, dipole, vacuum | 1554 |
|
|||
Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is generated when a bunched beam traverses a dipole magnet or a wiggler/undulator. It can degrade the beam quality in both storage rings and linacs through enhancing the beam energy spread and lengthening the bunch length, even cause single-bunch microwave instabilities. Using several methods, CSR impedances in the positron damping ring (DR) of the SuperKEKB which is under design were calculated. From the impedances due to CSR, resistive wall and various vacuum components, quasi-Green function wake potentials were constructed and used in simulations of Particle-In-Cell (PIC) tracking. We present the CSR related results in this paper. |

TUPEB054 | Design of Positron Damping Ring for Super-KEKB | electron, emittance, positron, simulation | 1641 |
|
|||
Super-KEKB, an upgrade plan of the present KEKB collider, has recently changed its scheme from 'high current' option to 'nano-beam' scheme. In the latter the current is relatively low(4A/2.3A for LER/HER ring) compared to that of the high-current option(9.4A/4.1A), while the vertical beam size is squeezed to 60 nm at the interaction point to get the high luminosity. The emittance of the injected beam should be low and, since the Tousheck lifetime is very short(600 sec), the intensity of the positron beam is as high as 8 nC/pulse. For the electron beam a low-emittance high-intensity RF gun is adopted. For the positron beam a damping ring has been proposed. The design of the damping ring has been performed for the high-current option*. In this paper an updated design for the nano-beam scheme is presented. * Nucl. Instr. Meth. A 556 (2006) 13-19 |

TUPEB079 | BPM Design and Impedance Considerations for a Rotatable Collimator for the LHC Collimation Upgrade | impedance, simulation, kicker, resonance | 1704 |
|
|||
The Phase II upgrade to the LHC collimation system calls for complementing the 30 high robust Phase I graphite secondary collimators with 30 high Z Phase II collimators. This paper reports on BPM and impedance considerations and measurements of the integrated BPMs in the prototype rotatable collimator to be installed in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. The BPMs are necessary to align the jaws with the beam. Without careful design the beam impedance can result in unacceptable heating of the chamber wall or beam instabilities. The impedance measurements involve utilizing both a single displaced wire and two wires excited in opposite phase to disentangle the driving and detuning transverse impedances. Trapped mode resonances and longitudinal impedance are to also be measured and compared with simulations. These measurements, when completed, will demonstrate the device is fully operational and has the impedance characteristics and BPM performance acceptable for installation in the SPS. |

TUPEC039 | Injected Beam Dynamics in SPEAR3 | injection, synchrotron, booster, diagnostics | 1811 |
|
|||
As SPEAR3 moves closer to trickle-charge topup injection, the complex phase-space dynamics of the injected beam becomes increasingly important for capture efficiency and machine protection. In the horizontal plane the beam executes ~12mm betatron oscillations and begins to filament within 10's of turns. In the vertical plane the beam is more stable but a premium is placed on flat-orbit injection through the Lambertson septum and the correct optical match. Longitudinally, energy spread in the booster is converted to arrival-time dispersion by the strong R56 component in the transfer line. In this paper, we report on turn-by-turn imaging of the injected beam in both the transverse plane and in the longitudinal direction using a fast-gated ccd and streak camera, respectively. |

TUPEC066 | Models and High-order Maps for Realistic RF Cavities using Surface Field Data | cavity, simulation, HOM, multipole | 1877 |
|
|||
Imagine a virtual cylinder passing through an rf cavity. Given field data on the surface of this cylinder, one can compute accurate high-order transfer maps for particles traversing the cavity*. This technique is robust against errors or noise present in the surface data; moreover, it is not limited to accelerating modes. We describe this technique and present recent work that uses VORPAL** field data as a starting point for modeling crab cavities. In addition, we present realistic models, including fringes, for several standing-wave modes. These models, which include a simple accelerating mode and a TM-110 (crab) mode, are useful for the accurate computation of transfer maps as well as for constructing model fields that can be used for testing and comparing a variety of rf cavity codes. * D.T.

TUPD008 | Measurement of Wakefield Effects caused by Electron Cloud at KEKB | electron, impedance, betatron, feedback | 1934 |
|
|||
Electron cloud instabilities are a great concern for the KEKB, an electron/positron collider. In order to study wakefield effects of electron cloud, a test bunch was injected behind a bunch train with the solenoid fields off, where cloud density rapidly decayed. A current-dependent tune shift and the tune spread of a test bunch were measured as a function of the bunch current while varying the bucket position of a test bunch. The vertical tune shift indicated a strong defocusing force together with widened tune spread in a region of relatively low cloud density and low bunch current. However, the vertical tune shift changed to a focusing force at high cloud density and high bunch current. On the other hand, the horizontal and vertical tune spreads tended to approach a constant value as increasing the bunch current. The turning current is approximately equal to the threshold current of the vertical size blow-up. |

TUPD023 | CesrTA Retarding Field Analyzer Measurements in Drifts, Dipoles, Quadrupoles and Wigglers | wiggler, dipole, quadrupole, electron | 1973 |
|
|||
Over the course of the CesrTA program, the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) has been instrumented with several retarding field analyzers (RFAs), which measure the local density and energy distribution of the electron cloud. These RFAs have been installed in drifts, dipoles, quadrupoles, and wigglers; and data have been taken in a variety of beam conditions and bunch configurations. This paper will provide an overview of these results, and give a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of cloud mitigation techniques implemented in the instrumented vacuum chambers. |

TUPD024 | Progress in Studies of Electron-cloud-induced Optics Distortions at CesrTA | electron, positron, simulation, dipole | 1976 |
|
|||
The Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA) program has included extensive measurements of coherent tune shifts for a variety of electron and positron beam energies, bunch current levels, and bunch train configurations. The tune shifts have been shown to result primarily from the interaction of the beam with the space-charge field of the beam-induced low-energy electron cloud in the vacuum chamber. Comparison to several advanced electron cloud simulation program packages has allowed determination of the sensitivity of these measurements to physical parameters such as the synchrotron radiation flux, its interaction with the vacuum chamber wall, the beam emittance and lattice optics, as well as to those of the various contributions to the electron secondary yield model. We report on progress in understanding the cloud buildup and decay mechanisms in magnetic fields and in field-free regions, addressing quantitatively the precise determination of the physical parameters of the modelling. Validation of these models will serve as essential input in the design of damping rings for future high-energy linear colliders. |

TUPD031 | Electron Cloud in the Region of Weak Vertical Field of the Wiggler | electron, radiation, wiggler, vacuum | 1994 |
|
|||
Electron cloud confined to move in the vertical direction by either the wiggler field or a dipole field has been investigated extensively. We present results of an analysis demonstrating that electrons may be trapped in the region of zero vertical field of a wiggler. Their characteristic frequency and life-time are established and some of the implications are discussed. |

TUPD038 | Collective Effects in the SuperB Collider | electron, emittance, simulation, scattering | 2012 |
|
|||
Some collective effects have been studied for the SuperB* high luminosity collider. Estimates of the effect of Intra Beam Scattering on the emittance and energy spread growths have been carried up for both the High Energy (HER, positrons) and the Low Energy (LER, electrons) rings. Electron cloud build up simulations for HER were performed with the ECLOUD code, developed at CERN**, to predict the cloud formation in the arcs, taking into account possible remediation techniques such as clearing electrodes. The new code CMAD, developed at SLAC***, has been used to study the effect of this electron cloud on the beam and assess the thresholds above which the electron cloud instability would set in. * M.

TUPD067 | Dynamics of Flat Bunches with Second Harmonic RF | simulation, emittance, synchrotron, cavity | 2078 |
|

We investigate the dynamics of longitudinally flat bunches created with a second harmonic cavity in a high energy collider. We study Landau damping in a second harmonic cavity with analytical and numerical methods. The latter include particle tracking and evolution of the phase space density. The results are interpreted in the context of possible application to the LHC. |

TUPD078 | Comparison of Simulation Codes for Microwave Instability in Bunched Beams | shielding, synchrotron, impedance, simulation | 2096 |
|
|||
In accelerator design, there is often a need to evaluate the threshold to the (longitudinal) microwave instability for a bunched beam in a storage ring. Several computational tools are available that allow us, once given a wakefield, to numerically find the threshold current and to simulate the development of the instability. In this work, we present the results of computer simulations with codes recently developed at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Our simulations include the cases of the resonator broadband impedance, the resistive wall impedance and the coherent synchrotron radiation impedance. We compare the accuracy of the threshold prediction and discuss the capabilities and limitations of the codes. |

TUPE026 | Classical and Quantum Mechanical Analyses on Electromagnetic Wave Emissions in the Planar Cherenkov Free Electron Laser | electron, coupling, free-electron-laser, laser | 2197 |
|
|||
In the Cherenkov free electron laser, the interacted electron with the electromagnetic (EM) wave can be represented as a point particle or as a spatially spreading electron wave in the classical or quantum mechanical framework, respectively. In our previous theoretical analysis for the optical region, the electron is described by a plane wave with finite spreading length. This electron wave model was successfully implied for the optical region whereas the spreading length of the electron wave is greater than the wavelength of the optical wave. In this work, when the EM wavelength is sufficiently greater than the spreading length of the electron wave, such as in the microwave region, the electron is assumed to be a spatially localized point particle. This classical analysis is performed using same parameters used in the quantum electron wave model, such as a coupling coefficient between the electron beam and the EM field and the electron relaxation time. Also, we present analytical expressions to describe the stimulated and spontaneous emissions. We show that the classical treatment is consistent with the quantum analysis applied in the optical regime. |

WEYMH01 | Status of the International Linear Collider | cavity, electron, positron, linac | 2378 |

The general status of the International Linear Collider (ILC) project will be presented. After the publication of the RDR (Reference Design Report) in summer in 2007, the next milestone of the ILC project will be the Technical Design Report to be completed by the end of 2012. The GDE (Global Design Effort) has defined the period till 2010 summer as the Technical Design Phase 1 and is revisiting the design in RDR in the name of 'rebaselining'. The outline of the new design will be decided in March 2010 and will be reported in this talk together with the near future plan. |

WEOBMH02 | Multi-bunch Beam Extraction using Strip-line Kicker at KEK-ATF | kicker, extraction, linear-collider, collider | 2386 |
|
|||
The beam extraction experiment using the strip-line kicker has been carried out at KEK-ATF. The specification of the International linear collider (ILC) is that the long bunch train (1320 - 5120 bunches), which has the bunch spacing of 189 - 480ns, is compressed to 3 or 6ns bunch spacing into the DR, and again decompressed from the DR. The kicker manipulates the changes of the bunch spacing. The kicker requires a fast rise/fall time (3 or 6ns) and a high repetition rate (3 or 6MHz). A multiple strip-line kicker system is the most promising candidate to realize the specification for the ILC*. The beam extraction experiment at KEK-ATF** using proto-type of the strip-line kicker was done by following parameters, up to 30 bunches of the multi-bunch in the DR, which has 5.6ns bunch spacing, are extracted bunch-by-bunch with 308ns interval to the extraction line. The stored multi-bunch was extracted successfully. The detail of the experiment and the result are reported. * T. Naito et. al., Proc. of PAC07, pp2772-2274. |

WEOBRA03 | Beam Break-up Estimates for the ERL at BNL | cavity, HOM, linac, optics | 2441 |
|
|||
A prototype ampere-class superconducting energy recovery linac (ERL) is under advanced construction at BNL. The ERL facility is comprised of a five-cell SC Linac plus a half-cell SC photo-injector RF electron gun, both operating at 703.75 MHz. The facility is designed for either a high-current mode of operation up to 0.5 A at 703.75 MHz or a high-bunch-charge mode of 5 nC at 10 MHz bunch frequency. The R&D facility serves a test bed for an envisioned electron-hadron collider, eRHIC. The high-current, high-charge operating parameters make effective higher-order-mode (HOM) damping mandatory, and requires to determination of HOM tolerances for a cavity upgrade. The niobium cavity has been tested at superconducting temperatures and has provided measured dipole shunt impedances for the estimate of a beam breakup instability. The facility will be assembled with a highly flexible lattice covering a vast operational parameter space for verification of the estimates and to serve as a test bed for the concepts directed at future projects. |

WEPEA033 | Ultra-low Emittance Light Source Storage Ring with Four Long Straight Sections | wiggler, storage-ring, emittance, undulator | 2558 |
|
|||
We indicated that a storage ring with picometer-order emittance is possible with realistic parameters and is promising as a next generation synchrotron radiation source* and applied it to the SPring-8 storage ring**. The storage ring had the same circumference as that of the SPring-8 storage ring, but had not four long straight sections that SPring-8 storage ring has. Accordingly, the storage ring beam line is slightly different from that of the SPring-8 and the positions of photon beam lines are also different from the existing one. To avoid this, a storage ring with four long straight sections has been studied and was found that the storage ring with the same beam line positions as the existing one is possible. The storage ring consists of twenty ten-bend achromat cells, four five-bend achromat cells and four long straight sections. The long straight section length is 34.0 m and the short one is 6.6 m. The natural emittance is 108 pm-rad. The maximum brightness is 2.5×1022 photons/s/mm**2/mrad**2 in 0.1% BW with 200 mA beam current, about 160 times brighter than SPring-8. In the end I mention that this ultra-low emittance storage ring is only a result of personal design study. * K. Tsumaki and N. Kumagai, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 565 (2006) 394. |

WEPEA041 | Emittance Growth Estimation due to Intrabeam Scattering in Hefei Advanced Light Source(HALS) Storage Ring | emittance, wiggler, scattering, lattice | 2582 |
|
|||
Hefei Advanced Light Source(HALS) will be a high brightness light source with about 0.2nmrad emittance at 1.5GeV and about 400m circumference. To enhance brilliance, very low beam emittance is required. High brightness demand and relative low energy will make emittance a critical issue in ring design. Intra-beam scattering(IBS) is usually thought a fundamental limitation to achieve low emittance. Here we preliminarily estimate the emittance growth due to IBS for the temporary lattice design of HALS based on Piwinski and Bjorken-Mtingwa theories, and discuss the effect of implementation of damping wiggler and harmonic cavity to lower the emittance. |

WEPEA076 | NSLS-II Lattice Optimization with Non-zero Chromaticity | resonance, sextupole, lattice, quadrupole | 2663 |
|
|||
Chromaticity is usually set to non-zero value at the third generation light sources to cure the intensity induced instabilities. It is effective in suppressing the beam centroid oscillation; however, it is repeatedly reported that the beam lifetime decreases significantly when chromaticity goes up. This is probably due to the crossing of resonance lines by the enlarged tune footprint. In this paper we optimize the NSLS-II lattice at different positive chromaticity settings. The tune footprint is adjusted to fit in the stable region divided by the strong resonance lines. Tracking results show that we can maintain a lifetime similar to that of the zero-chromaticity lattice solutions. |

WEPEB029 | Operational Status of the Transverse Bunch by Bunch Feedback System at SOLEIL | feedback, impedance, single-bunch, coupling | 2746 |
|
|||
In this paper we introduce and discuss the recent developments made in our digital transverse bunch by bunch feedback system at SOLEIL, which is routinely in service since the first user operation in both the high average current and high bunch current modes. The above includes installation of a third chain with a dedicated 4-electrode stripline intended to operate in the horizontal plane, an attempt to sample the BPM signal directly at the RF frequency without down-converting to the baseband following the success at SPring-8, a refined tuning procedure by measuring the feedback damping times as a function of the band frequency, as well as exploration of different digital filters ensuring a larger working range in terms of betatron tunes or a faster response against single bunch instabilities. The achieved performance and results are described. The observed evolution of the machine impedance and instabilities shall also be presented. |

WEPEB032 | Studies and Control of Coupled-bunch Instabilities at DELTA | feedback, synchrotron, electron, kicker | 2755 |
|
|||
DELTA is a 1.5-GeV synchrotron radiation source at the TU Dortmund University with 2 ns bunch spacing. At nominal operating currents, the beam exhibits significant longitudinal centroid motion due to coupled-bunch instabilities. Two techniques were successfully used at DELTA to damp such instabilities: RF phase modulation, which also improves the beam lifetime, and bunch-by-bunch feedback. Using diagnostic data from the bunch-by-bunch feedback system, modal spectra and growth rates of the longitudinal instabilities were characterized. We also present a preliminary characterization of transverse coupled-bunch oscillations observed at the highest beam currents. |

WEPEB049 | Recent Progress of the Bunch-by-bunch Feedback System at the Advanced Photon Source | feedback, emittance, pick-up, accumulation | 2803 |

A bunch-by-bunch feedback system was installed at the APS in 2008. Close-loop tests were conducted and improvements have been made to the system that include two 500-watt amplifiers, a new location for the horizontal drive stripline, a two-blade new horizontal stripline, and upgrade of front-end electronics. With these improvements we are able to stabilize beam with a reduced chromaticity of 0.45 in the horizontal plane and 2.5 in the vertical plane for the 24-singlet bunch pattern. Beam lifetime has increased from 8.5 hours to 15 hours. We did not observe any obvious increase in the effective beam emittance and rms beam motion. More studies will be performed to explore the potential of improving beam performance of the hybrids fill pattern, which has a 16-mA leading bunch. We report the system improvements and the results of our test results. cyao@aps.anl.gov |

WEPEB053 | Experimental Tests of a Prototype System for Active Damping of the e-p Instability in the ORNL SNS Accumulator Ring | feedback, LLRF, pick-up, kicker | 2809 |
|
|||
The prototype of an analog transverse (vertical and horizontal) feedback system to actively damp the electron-proton (e-p) instability has been developed and tested on the ORNL Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). We will describe the principle components, system configuration, and review several experimental studies geared towards understanding the current performance and limitations of the system. |

WEPEC063 | Using a Resistive Material for HOM Damping | HOM, cavity, higher-order-mode, impedance | 3037 |
|
|||
Ferrites and lossy ceramics used in HOM (higher order mode) load for superconducting accelerators, have shortcomings such as poor batch-to-batch reproducibility of electromagnetic properties, extremely low electric conductivity at cryogenic temperatures leading to accumulation of charge on the material surface, brittleness, which may cause contamination of the nearby SRF cavities by lossy dust, etc. A proposal to use a resistive material free of these shortcomings is presented. |

WEPEC079 | Design and Prototype Progress toward a Superconducting Crab Cavity Cryomodule for the APS | cavity, HOM, multipactoring, niobium | 3061 |
|
|||
A squashed, elliptical supercondconducting (SC) cavity with waveguide dampers on the beam pipes has currently been chosen as the baseline design [1] for the Short Pulse X-ray (SPX) project at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). An alternate cavity design, with a waveguide damper located directly on the cavity cell for improved damping characteristics, has also been designed and cold-tested with promising results. In either case, eight cavities would be operated CW in a single cryomodule at 2K to produce an electron bunch chirp of 4MV at a frequency of 2.815 GHz. Detailed analysis of multipactoring (MP), lorentz force detuning (LFD), and the thermal properties of the baseline design has led to an engineering specification of the basic parameters of the cryomodule. |

WEPEC084 | Higher Order Mode Properties of Superconducting Parallel-Bar Cavities | cavity, HOM, impedance, wakefield | 3075 |
|
|||
The superconducting parallel-bar cavity* has properties that makes it attractive as a deflecting or crabbing rf structure. For example it is under consideration as an rf separator for the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and as a crabbing structure for a possible LHC luminosity upgrade. Initial cavity shape optimization has been performed to obtain a high transverse deflecting voltage with low surface fields. We present here a study of the Higher Order Mode (HOM) properties of this structure. Frequencies, R/Q and field profiles of HOMs have been evaluated and are reported. * J.R. Delayen and H.

WEPEC086 | Optimization of Higher Order Mode Dampers in the 56 MHz SRF Cavity for RHIC | HOM, cavity, simulation, dipole | 3081 |
|
|||
A 56 MHz cavity was designed for a luminosity upgrade of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), including requirements for Higher Order Mode (HOM) damping. A preliminary design of the HOM damper was previously done without optimization. In this paper, we describe our optimization of the damper's performance, and modifications made to its original design. We also show the cavity damper efects with different geometries. Magnetic field enhancement at the ports is reduced to a value less than the highest field in the cavity to eliminate electrical breakdown. All HOMs up to 1 GHz are simulated with their frequencies, mode configurations, R/Qs and shunt impedances, and all modes are well-damped with the optimized design and configuration. |

WEPD016 | Reduction of Dynamic Field Errors in Superconductive Undulators | undulator, wiggler, simulation, coupling | 3120 |
|
|||
In the superconductive undulator SCU14, installed at ANKA, time dependent drifts in the magnetic fields were observed*. Simulations with the software OPERA 3D showed, that the cause of these drifts might be leak and eddy currents in the iron body of the undulator caused by the time-varying currents and fields during current ramps, which slowly decay by ohmic losses. This assumption was crosschecked by measurements at different mockup bodies. This contribution discusses the results of the simulations and measurements and the consequential strategies for avoiding this effect. * S. Ehlers et. al.

WEPD039 | First Magnetic Tests of a Superconducting Damping Wiggler for the CLIC Damping Rings | wiggler, emittance, positron, solenoid | 3174 |
|
|||
Two damping rings (e+, e-) are foreseen for the CLIC injection chain. In each damping ring 76 two meter long wigglers will be installed. The short period (40-50 mm), combined with a gap larger than 14 mm and a requested field in the mid-plane BPeak > 2 T requires the usage of superconducting technologies to meet these requirements. To demonstrate the feasibility of this wiggler design a short-model vertical racetrack wiggler (40 mm period; 16 mm gap) was built and successfully tested at CERN. The wiggler carries a current of 730 A and 910 A and reaches a mid-plane peak field of Bpeak = 2 T and Bpeak = 2.5 T at 4.2 K and 1.9 K, respectively. The results show that the wiggler model meets the magnetic requirements of the CLIC damping rings at 1.9 K. The paper will also discuss the improvements we propose to enhance the performance in order to meet the CLIC specifications also at 4.2 K. |

WEPD043 | The Development of Gradient Damping Wiggler for ALPHA Storage Ring | wiggler, dipole, storage-ring, quadrupole | 3186 |
|
|||
A novel gradient damping wiggler (GDW) was developed for the ALPHA storage ring in Indiana University. The GDW will be used to change the momentum compaction factor and the damping partition at ALPHA storage effectively. There is one middle pole and two outer poles that they have gradient field were assembled together on the same girder to be a full set of GDW magnet system. The dipole and gradient field strength of the middle (outer) pole is 0.67 T (-0.67) and 1.273 T/m (1.273 T/m), respectively. The magnet gap of the middle and outer pole is 40 mm and 35.87 mm, respectively, that the three combined function of dipole magnet can be charged by the same power supply. There is a trim coil on the three magnets to adjust the first and second integral field to zero. The good field region of middle pole and outer pole in transverse x-axis (deltaB/B=0.1%) are ±50mm and ±40mm separately. A prototype GDW magnet was fabricated and a Hall probe measurement system was set up to measure the magnet field to verify the magnet design and the magnet construction performance. The field cross-talk and the fringe field are also discussed herein by different methods. |

WEPD088 | Beam-Based Measurement of the Waveform of the LHC Injection Kickers | kicker, injection, simulation, emittance | 3302 |
|
|||
Proton and ion beams will be injected into LHC at 450 GeV by two kicker magnet systems, producing magnetic field pulses of up to 7.8 μs flat top duration with rise and fall times of not more than 900 ns and 3 μs, respectively. Both systems are composed of four traveling wave kicker magnets, powered by pulse forming networks. One of the stringent design requirements of these systems is a field flat top and post pulse ripple of less than ±0.5 %. A carefully matched high bandwidth system is required to obtain the stringent pulse response. Screen conductors are placed in the aperture of the kicker magnet to provide a path for the image current of the, high intensity, LHC beam and screen the ferrite against Wake fields: these conductors affect the field pulse response. Recent injection tests provided the opportunity to directly measure the shape of the kick field pulse with high accuracy using a pilot beam. This paper details the measurements and compares the results with predictions and laboratory measurements. |

WEPD089 | CLIC Pre-Damping and Damping Ring Kickers: Initial Ideas to Achieve Stability Requirements | kicker, impedance, extraction, coupling | 3305 |
|
|||
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study is exploring the scheme for an electron-positron collider with high luminosity (1034 - 1035 cm2/s) and a nominal centre-of-mass energy of 3 TeV: CLIC would complement LHC physics in the multi-TeV range. The CLIC design relies on the presence of Pre-Damping Rings (PDR) and Damping Rings (DR) to achieve the very low emittance, through synchrotron radiation, needed for the luminosity requirements of CLIC. In order to limit the beam emittance blow-up due to oscillations the combined flat-top ripple and droop of the field pulse, for the DR extraction kickers, must be less than 0.015%. In addition, the allowed beam coupling impedance for the kicker systems is also very low: a few Ohms longitudinally and a few MΩ/m transversally. This paper discusses initial ideas for achieving the extremely demanding requirements for the PDR and DR kickers. |

WEPD098 | Fast Kickers for the Next Generation Light Source | kicker, FEL, impedance, linac | 3329 |
|
|||
The Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is a 2.4 GeV linear accelerator with up to ten FELs. Each of the FELs require a fast kicker, with the exception of the final one which can use a normal bend magnet. The requirements for the kickers are to deflect the linac beam by an angle of 3 mrad with a magnetic length of 2 m, and an aperture size of 17 by 17 mm. A strip line magnet with an impedance of 50 Ohms being feed from the opposite direction as the beam has been selected for prototyping. The modulator requirements to drive such a magnet are ±15 kV and ±300 A, with rise and fall times of 5 ns and a flat top of 10 ns. The pulse to pulse stability must be better than 0.01% of the peak value. The design of the modulator is an inductive adder with 20 cells, each driven by 12 power MOSFETs. This paper describes details of the design as well as present preliminary test data. |

WEPE014 | Design and Model Cavity Test of the Demountable Damped Cavity | cavity, HOM, simulation, SRF | 3374 |
|
|||
We have designed Demountable Damped Cavity (DDC) for ILC main linac. DDC has two design concepts. One is the coaxial waveguide for HOM damping, which can strongly couple HOM's. Accelerating mode is reflected by a choke filter. The axial symmetry can reduce the beam kick effect. The other concept is demountable structure which can make easy cleaning of end group in order to suppress the Q-slope problem at a high field. In this paper we will report the RF design and measurement results in model cavity. |

WEPE022 | CLIC Energy Scans | luminosity, linac, klystron, emittance | 3395 |

The physics experiments at CLIC will require that the machine scans lower than nominal centre-of-mass energy. We present different options to achieve this and discuss the implications for luminosity and the machine design. |

WEPE032 | Recent Progress on a Manifold Damped and Detuned Structure for CLIC | wakefield, dipole, cavity, linac | 3425 |
|
|||
Our earlier design* for an accelerating structure to suppress the wakefields in the CLIC main accelerating cavities has been modified. This structure combines strong detuning of the cell frequencies with waveguide-like damping by providing the structure with four attached manifolds which loosely couple a portion of the wakefields from each cell. The amended geometry reduces the surface pulse temperature heating by approximately 20%. We report on the overall parameters of the fundamental mode, together with details on damping higher order dipole modes. In order to adequately suppress the wakefield we interleave the frequencies of eight successive structures. * Khan and Jones, TU5PFP007, PAC'09, Vancouver, Canada 2009. |

WEPE085 | Parameter Scan for the CLIC Damping Rings under the Influence of Intrabeam Scattering | emittance, wiggler, scattering, simulation | 3542 |
|
|||
Due to the high bunch density, the output emittances of the CLIC Damping Rings (DR) are strongly dominated by the effect of Intrabeam Scattering (IBS). In an attempt to optimize the ring design and using classical IBS formalisms and approximations, the scaling of the extracted emittances and IBS growth rates is being studied, with respect to several ring parameters including energy, bunch charge, optics and wiggler characteristics. Results from the simulations using a multi-particle tracking code are also presented. |
|||
WEPE086 | A Low Emittance Lattice for the ILC 3 km Damping Ring | lattice, wiggler, emittance, dynamic-aperture | 3545 |
|
|||
A new baseline parameter set has been proposed for the ILC with a reduction by a factor 2 in the number of bunches. This option will allow for a corresponding factor 2 decrease in the Damping Ring circumference, with significant cost savings. A low emittance lattice for a 3.2 km long damping ring has been designed, with the same racetrack layout of the present reference 6.4 km long lattice and similar straight sections. The technical work done for the longer ring can be easily applied to the shorter one. The lattice is based on an arc cell design adopted for the SuperB collider and allows some flexibility in tuning emittance and momentum compaction. |
|||
WEPE087 | RF Accelerating Structure for the Damping Ring of the SuperKEKB Injector | cavity, HOM, impedance, coupling | 3548 |
|
|||
A damping ring of positron beams is under consideration for the upgrade of KEKB (SuperKEKB) because low emittance of beams injected to the main rings is required by the SuperKEKB optics in the nano-beam scheme. We present the design of the RF accelerating structure, especially on the higher-order-mode (HOM) damped structure. This structure is based on the normal-conducting accelerating cavity system ARES, which has successful records of the long-term stable operations so far with low trip rates at KEKB. All the HOM absorbers are made of silicon carbide, bullet-shaped, and to be directly water cooled, so that the structure presented in this paper can be also a prototype for accelerating beams of the order of 10A in the SuperKEKB main ring in the high-current scheme. |
|||
WEPE088 | A New Design for ILC 3.2 km Damping Ring Based on FODO Cell | lattice, wiggler, dipole, quadrupole | 3551 |
|
|||
In this paper, we made a new design for ILC 3.2 km damping ring with 2 arcs based on FODO cell and 2 straight sections which are nearly the same as the new version of the 6.4 km ring DCO4. This new lattice uses less dipoles and quadrupoles than the present SuperB like lattice and has an adequate aperture for the large injected emittance of the positron beam. The work of lattice design and DA optimization will be presented in detail. |
|||
WEPE089 | Design Optimisation for the CLIC Damping Rings | emittance, wiggler, electron, vacuum | 3554 |
|
|||
The CLIC damping rings should produce the ultra-low emittance necessary for the high luminosity performance of the collider. This combined to the high bunch charge present a number of beam dynamics and technical challenges for the rings. Lattice studies have been focused on low emittance cells with optics that reduce the effect Intra-beam scattering. The final beam emittance is reached with the help of super-conducting damping wigglers. Results from recent simulations and prototype measurements are presented, including a detailed absorption scheme design. Collective effects such as electron cloud and fast ion instability can severely limit the performance and mitigation techniques have been identified and tested. Tolerances for alignment and technical system design such as kickers, RF cavities, magnets and vacuum have been finally established. |
|||
WEPE090 | Intra-Beam Scattering in the CLIC Damping Rings | emittance, lattice, simulation, radiation | 3557 |
|
|||
The CLIC 3 TeV nominal design requires very low emittance of the electron and positron beams to be reached in the damping rings. Due to low energy and to relatively high bunch charge and ultra-low emittance, Intra-Beam Scattering (IBS) effect is very strong and an accurate calculation is needed to check if the required emittance is effectively reached. For this reason it is being developed at CERN a new Software for IBS and Radiation Effects (SIRE), which simulates the evolution of the beam particle distribution in the damping rings, taking into account radiation damping, IBS and quantum excitation. In this paper we present the results of our simulations performed with SIRE on the current lattice of the CLIC damping rings. |
|||
WEPE092 | Mechanical and Vacuum Design of the Wiggler Section of the ILC Damping Rings | wiggler, vacuum, electron, quadrupole | 3563 |
|
|||
A vacuum vessel design of wiggler sections should meet a few challenging specification. The SR power of about 40 kW is generated in each wiggler. Expanding fan of SR radiation reaches the beam vacuum chamber walls in the following wiggler and may cause the following problem: massive power dissipation on vacuum chamber walls inside the cryogenic vessel, radiation damage of superconducting coil, high photo-electron production rate that cause an e-cloud build-up to unacceptable level. Therefore this power should be absorbed in the places where these effects are tolerable or manageable. A few possible solutions for tackling all SR related problems as well as vacuum design are discussed in the paper in details. |
|||
WEPE094 | SR Power Distribution along Wiggler Section of ILC DR | wiggler, vacuum, quadrupole, electron | 3569 |
|
|||
A 374-m long wiggler section is a key part of ILC damping ring that should alloy reaching a low beam emittance for the ILC experiment. Synchrotron radiation generated by the beam in the wigglers should be absorbed by different components of vacuum vessel, including specially designed absorbers. The optimisation of the mechanical design, vacuum system and anti-e-cloud mitigation requires accurate calculation of the SR power distribution. The angular power distribution from a single wiggler was calculated with in-house developed software. Then the superposition of SR from all wigglers allows calculating power distribution for all components along the wiggler section and the downstream straight section. |
|||
WEPE095 | Impedance and Single-bunch Instabilities in the ILC Damping Ring | wakefield, insertion, vacuum, lattice | 3572 |
|
|||
The longitudinal wake fields have been calculated by using 3D code, CST Particle Studio, for a number of different vacuum chamber components of the 6.4 km ILC damping ring design. Based on the results, studies of bunch lengthening and single-bunch instabilities have been carried out. Bunch lengthening from a particle tracking code are compared with results from numerical solution of the Haissinski equation. The tracking code is used to predict the threshold for single-bunch instabilities. |
|||
WEPE096 | DCO4 Lattice Design for 6.4 km ILC Damping Rings | lattice, extraction, injection, positron | 3575 |
|
|||
A new lattice design for the ILC damping ring has been developed since the beginning of 2008 as a lower cost alternative to the previous OCS6 design. The lattices for the electron and positron damping rings are identical, and are designed to provide an intense, 5 GeV beam with low emittance at extraction. The latest design, presented in this paper, provides sufficient dynamic aperture for the large positron beam at injection. The lattice also meets the engineering requirements for arrangement of the positron ring directly above the electron ring in the same tunnel, using common girders for the magnets in the two rings, but with the beams circulating in opposite directions. |
|||
WEPE097 | Recommendation for the Feasibility of More Compact LC Damping Rings | electron, simulation, wiggler, emittance | 3578 |
|
|||
As part of the International Linear Collider (ILC) collaboration, we have compared the electron cloud effect for different Damping Ring designs respectively with 6.4 km and 3.2 km circumference and investigated the feasibility of a shorter damping ring with respect to the electron cloud build-up and related beam instability. These studies were carried out with beam parameters of the ILC Low Power option. A reduced damping ring circumference has been proposed for the new ILC baseline design and would allow to considerably reduce the number of components, wiggler magnets and costs. We also briefly discuss the plans for future studies including the luminosity upgrade option with shorter bunch spacing, the evaluation of mitigations and the integration of the CesrTA results into the Damping Ring design. |

THXRA02 | Review of SRF Cavities for ILC, XFEL and ERL Applications | cavity, HOM, controls, alignment | 3625 |

Linear accelerator systems with superconducting RF technology have become increasingly important to reach high-quality, high current beam conditions required by the high-energy physics and photon science communities. The International Linear Collider, for instance, calls for very challenging (beam conditions). Similarly, the XFEL requires (beam conditions) and future ERLS require (high average current). In this talk, we review the needs and challenges of SCRF linac beam physics and technology for present and future applications. |

THOBRA01 | Synchrotron Oscillation Damping due to Beam-beam Collisions | synchrotron, positron, feedback, electron | 3644 |
|
|||
In DAΦNE, the Frascati e+/e- collider, the crab waist collision scheme has been successfully implemented in 2008 and 2009. During the collision operations for Siddharta experiment, an unusual synchrotron damping effect has been observed. Indeed, with the longitudinal feedback switched off, the positron beam becomes unstable with beam currents in the order of 200-300 mA. The longitudinal instability is damped by bringing the positron beam in collision with a high current electron beam (~2A). Besides, we have observed a shift of ≈600Hz in the residual synchrotron sidebands. Precise measurements have been performed by using a commercial spectrum analyzer and by using the diagnostics capabilities of the DAΦNE longitudinal bunch-by-bunch feedback. This damping effect has been observed in DAΦNE for the first time during collisions with the crab waist scheme. Our explanation is that beam collisions with a large crossing angle produce a longitudinal tune shift and a longitudinal tune spread, providing Landau damping of synchrotron oscillations. |

THOBRA02 | Suppression of Transverse Instabilities by Chromaticity Modulation | synchrotron, betatron, lattice, feedback | 3647 |
|
|||
Transverse beam instabilities were suppressed with chromaticity modulation (CM)* in the electron storage ring, New SUBARU. The horizontal and vertical betatron tune spread inside a bunch were introduced by CM with synchrotron oscillation frequency driven by an AC sextuple magnet**, to obtain Landau damping of the coherent bunch motion. The tune spread in a bunch is usually introduced by octupole field, however, its high nonlinearity reduces the dynamic aperture. And usual feedback against instabilities work only on m=0 mode and it is not easy to be applied to hadron synchrotrons because of their varying revolution period. The CM scheme has not such disadvantages. The damping time of coherent motion excited by external kick was measured and was found as less than 1ms, one order faster than that without CM. To observe the effect on instabilities, we intentionally tuned an HOM in a cavity to excite a horizontal multi-bunch instability. The instability peak in the spectrum of the beam motion was vanished with CM turned on and the instability was suppressed. We also observed the increase of the threshold current of the vertical single-bunch mode-coupling instability by factor 3 with CM. * T. Nakamura, Proc. of PAC'95, p.3100 (1995). |

THPEA007 | The Injection System of the INFN-SuperB Factory Project: Preliminary Design | linac, injection, electron, positron | 3685 |
|
|||
The ultra high luminosity B-factory (SuperB) project of INFN requires a high performance and reliable injection system, providing electrons at 4 GeV and positrons at 7 GeV, to fulfill the very tight requirements of the collider. Due to the short beam lifetime, continuous injection of electrons and positrons in both HER and LER rings is necessary to keep the average luminosity at a high level. Polarized electrons are required for experiments and must be delivered by the injection system, due to the beam lifetime shorter than the polarization build-up: they will be produced by means of a SLAC-SLC polarized gun. One or two 1 GeV damping rings are used to reduce e+ and e- emittances. Two schemes for positron production are under study, one with electron-positron conversion at low energy (<1 Gev), the second at 6 GeV with a recirculation line to bring the positrons back to the damping ring. Acceleration through the Linac is provided by a S-band RF system made of traveling wave, room temperature accelerating structures. An option to use the C-band technology is also presented. |

THPEA012 | Various Observables of TW Accelerator Structures Operating 100MV/m or Higher at X-band Facility, Nextef of KEK | vacuum, target, HOM, controls | 3699 |
|
|||
Under the CERN-SLAC-KEK collaboration, we have been developing the high gradient TW accelerator structures. One of the main focuses is the feasibility study of CLIC accelerator structure at X-band. A high power facility, Nextef*, was established at KEK in 2007. A few structures have been tested, including an un-damped disk-loaded structure successfully tested beyond 100 MV/m, a heavily damped structure to be tested from late 2009 and a structure made in a quadrant configuration. These structures follow the same accelerating-mode RF parameter profile, called CLIC-C**, but show different features at high gradient operation. Various observables, such as dark current, vacuum activities, light emission, breakdown rate, and so on, are measured. We discuss the high gradient phenomena related to these observables and the possible improvement for stable operation at a higher gradient. * T. Higo et al., THP038, LINAC06,2006. |

THPEA013 | Advances in X-band TW Accelerator Structures Operating in the 100 MV/m Regime | acceleration, linear-collider, collider, HOM | 3702 |
|
|||
A CERN-SLAC-KEK collaboration on high gradient X-band accelerator structure development for CLIC has been ongoing for three years. The major outcome has been the demonstration of stable 100 MV/m gradient operation of a number of CLIC prototype structures. These structures were fabricated basically using the technology developed from 1994 to 2004 for the GLC/NLC linear collider initiative. One goal has been to refine the essential parameters and fabrication procedures needed to realize such high gradient routinely. Another goal has been to develop structures with stronger dipole mode damping than those for GLC/NLC. The latter requires that surface temperature rise during the pulses be higher, which may increase the breakdown rate. Structures with heavy damping will be tested in late 2009/early 2010, and this paper will present these results together with some of the earlier results from non-damped structures and structures built with a quadrant geometry. |

|

A radio frequency system with a higher-harmonic cavity will be used to increase the beam lifetime and suppress coupled-bunch instabilities of the upgrade Hefei Light Source. In the paper, the simulated results confirm that tuning in the harmonic cavity may suppresses the parasitic coupled-bunch instabilities. The higher-harmonic cavity has been designed and the calculated optimum lifetime increase ratio is 2.58. |

THPEA064 | Fabrication Technologies of the High Gradient Accelerator Structures at 100MV/m Range | vacuum, accelerating-gradient, linac, alignment | 3819 |
|
|||
A CERN-SLAC-KEK collaboration on high gradient X-band structure research has been established in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the CLIC baseline design for the main linac stably operating at more than 100 MV/m loaded accelerating gradient. Several prototype CLIC structures were successfully fabricated and high power tested. They operated at 105 MV/m with a breakdown rate that meets the CLIC linear collider specifications of < 5·10-7/pulse/m. This paper summarizes the fabrication technologies including the mechanical design, precision machining, chemical cleaning, diffusion bonding as well as vacuum baking and all related assembly technologies. Also, the tolerances control, tuning and RF characterization will be discussed. |

THPEC022 | Beam Tests of HOM Absorber at FLASH | HOM, linac, cryomodule, vacuum | 4092 |
|
|||
High frequency Higher Order Modes (HOM) propagating in the beam line of a superconducting linac can carry a substantial fraction of the energy deposited in accelerating structures by the beam. In this contribution, we report test results of the beam line absorber (BLA), which was designed and fabricated at DESY, and installed in the FLASH accelerator to absorb the HOM energy generated by high current beams. Two tests were carried out, in September 2008 and September 2009, during so called high current runs. The experiments confirmed the concept of the BLA design and showed remarkable agreement with computer modeling of the HOM energy absorption. |

THPD063 | Design and High Power Test of Photonic Bandgap Structures for Accelerator Applications | HOM, lattice, cavity, vacuum | 4428 |
|
|||
Photonic bandgap (PBG) structures show promising results for use in future collider applications. Both acceleration and wakefield damping have been demonstrated experimentally. The breakdown performance of a single cell PBG structure was tested at X-band at SLAC and found to have significant contributions from magnetic field effects. A new structure has been designed at 17.1 GHz to be tested at MIT to investigate the scaling of these and other breakdown effects with frequency. The 17.1 GHz structure will also use the open nature of the PBG lattice to greatly improve the breakdown diagnostics. Finally, a novel PBG structure has been designed for testing at SLAC using elliptical inner rods. This design significantly reduces the pulsed heating in the structure and should therefore improve the breakdown performance. |

THPD067 | The First Experiment of a 26 GHz Dielectric Based Wakefield Power Extractor | wakefield, electron, vacuum, simulation | 4434 |
|
|||
High frequency, high power rf sources are needed for many applications in particle accelerators, communications, radar, etc. We have developed a 26GHz high power rf source based on the extraction of wakefields from a relativistic electron beam. The extractor is designed to couple out rf power generated from a high charge electron bunch train traversing a dielectric loaded waveguide. The first high beam experiment has been performed at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility. The experimental results successfully demonstrate the 15ns 26GHz rf pulse generated from the wakefield extractor with a bunch train of 16 bunches. Meanwhile, ~ 30MW short rf pulse has been achieved with a bunch train of 4 bunches. Beam Breakup has prevented charge transport through the power extractor beyond 10nC. We are doing simulations and developing methods to alleviate the BBU effect. |

THPD086 | Measurement and Correction of Transverse Dispersion in PETRA III | quadrupole, wiggler, emittance, closed-orbit | 4485 |
|
|||
PETRA III is a 6GeV positron light source with a design horizontal beam emittance of 1nm.rad and 1% emittance coupling. This low emittance is achieved with proper correction of horizontal dispersion to its theoretical values in the arcs as well as dispersion free sections. The spurious vertical dispersion, arising due to misalignment and rotational errors of the magnets is also duly corrected as this contributes to the vertical beam size of the photon beam. Here we discuss the method taken to correct the horizontal dispersion using a combined orbit and dispersion correction scheme. In the vertical plane the same procedure can be used as that of horizontal plane or only the dispersion can be corrected using dedicated skew quadrupoles to millimeter level after orbit correction has been done. In this paper we present the methods used and results obtained in correction of dispersions in transverse planes. |

THPE013 | Invariants of Linear Equations of Motion | emittance, coupling, space-charge, injection | 4539 |
|
|||
Courant-Snyder invariant and Root Mean Square (RMS) beam emittance are well-known invariants of linear equation of motion. They are connected with the second order moments of a beam distribution function. Other invariants of linear equations of motion generated by second and higher order moments are presented in this report. |

THPE039 | Optimization of dipole-field profiles for emittance reduction in storage rings | dipole, emittance, lattice, storage-ring | 4605 |
|
|||
Nonuniform dipoles with bending field variation have been studied for reducing storage ring emittance in recent years. According to a new minimum emittance theory, the effects of an arbitrary dipole can be characterized by two parameters. To have a better idea of the potentials of nonuniform dipoles, here we numerically explore the values of these two parameters for optimal emittance reduction. |

THPE040 | A Spin Rotator for the Compact Linear Collider | solenoid, positron, linac, electron | 4608 |
|

Polarized positron and electron beams are ideal for searching for new physics at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). In order to properly orient and preserve the polarization of the beam at the interaction point, the beam polarization must be manipulated by a spin rotator along the beam line. In this paper a spin rotator design for the CLIC is presented and its integration into the CLIC ring to main linac transport system is discussed. |

THPE056 | A Method of Beam Energy Spread and Synchrotron Tune Mesurment Based on Decoherence Signal Analysis | betatron, storage-ring, synchrotron, emittance | 4647 |
|
|||
A method of beam energy spread and synchrotron tune measurements based on the analysis of transverse decoherence\recoherence signal of kicked beam is presented. As an illustration the beam energy spread was extracted for the SLS storage ring. |

THPE095 | Quantitative Lattice Optimization using Frequency Map Analysis | lattice, injection, sextupole, emittance | 4746 |
|
|||
Frequency Map Analysis has been used successfully to study accelerator lattices for many years, both in simulations and in experiment. We will present a new application to use the quantitative results of frequency maps (namely the diffusion rates) to optimize the nonlinear properties of lattices. The technique is fairly simple but powerful and has already been used to optimize lattices for example for the NLC and ILC damping rings, as well as the ALS lattice upgrade. |
