| MOPKF046 | Photoelectron RF Gun Designed as a Single Cell Cavity | injection, gun, emittance, booster | 411 | ||
|
The paper describes the recent improvements of S-band RF-gun at SPring-8. The cavity of the gun is a single-cell pillbox, and the copper inner wall is used as a cathode. The electron beam from the cathode was accelerated up to 4.1 MeV at an electric field of 175 MV/m. For emittance compensation, two solenoid magnets were used. A 3m linac and a quadrupole scan emittance diagnostic were added after the RF-gun. The beam energy spread and beam emittance after the linac is presented. The beam emittance measured with quadrupole scan is compered to that measured with double slits just after the RF-gun. For high quantum efficiency, Cs2Te cathode was also tested. It is vacuum sealed in a cartridge-type electric tube and four tubes can be installed in a vacuum chamber behind the cavity. Although the quantum efficiency after RF conditioning for two hours to achieve 90MV/m was 3%, it decreased to 1% after the 28 hours RF conditioning.

| MOPKF047 | Suppression of Stored Beam Oscillation Excited by Beam Injection | gun, emittance, booster, vacuum | 414 | ||
|
Top-up operation is scheduled from May 2004 at SPring-8. For this operation it is important that frequent beam injections should not excite the oscillation of stored beams. However, injection bump orbit was not closed perfectly and residual beam oscillations lead to increase of effective beam sizes by twice and three times in the horizontal and vertical direction respectively. We are trying to reduce these excited oscillations to less than one third of the usual beam sizes. For the suppression of horizontal one, we applied a novel scheme to reduce the effect due to the nonlinearity of sextupole magnets by adjusting the strength ratio of the sextupoles. The field similarity of bump magnets was also improved by replacing them with newly designed ones, where the effect of eddy current at the end plates was reduced. These countermeasures suppressed the horizontal oscillation by about one order. For the suppression of vertical one, the excitation mechanism has being investigated in detail. Presently the tilt angle adjustment of bump magnets reduced the vertical oscillation by one third. For further reduction of these oscillations, corrections with pulse-magnets is under investigation.

| MOPKF048 | Injection Beam Loss at the SPring-8 Storage Ring | injection, gun, emittance, booster | 417 | ||
|
Capture efficiency of injection beam is extremely important for top-up operation because open photon shutter permits the bremsstrahlung from lost particles to be transported to experimental floor. Furthermore, since the SPring-8 storage ring has many in-vacuum insertion devices with narrow gap, the demagnetization by the lost electron bombardment is also serious to the beam injection with gap closing. To clarify the loss mechanism of injected beam at the SPring-8 storage ring, we investigate the loss process under various conditions of the storage ring, and especially measure the dependence of injection loss rate on gaps of insertion devices. Comparing the measurements with simulations, we found that an injected particle with a large horizontal amplitude begins to oscillate in vertical direction through error magnetic field and eventually disappears at the vertical limit. It is also found that the low chromaticity of the storage ring is effective for the reduction of injection beam loss. In this paper, we report the loss mechanism of the injection beam of the SPring-8 storage ring and the possible improvements of the capture efficiency.

| MOPKF050 | Current Heart-like Wiggler | wiggler, injection, linac, booster | 423 | ||
|
A new wiggler structure for free electron lasers is presented. Current hart-like wiggler produced magnetic fields which were spatially periodic. The current wiggler structure was in the shape of stacks of modified circle wires. The current had alternating directions. The magnetic field components for each wire present a C2 symmetry (for a model with 3 branches). The wiggler transverse cross - section in arbitrary units was given by the following expressions: x = R(d+sin(3j))cos(j) , y = R(d+sin(3j))sin(j) , z = constant, where d and R are the parameters. In cylindrical coordinates the Biot - Savart law was evaluated numerically. The magnetic field aspect was mainly transversal and also easily adjusted with the current . The versatility of this structure permits new geometrical forms and developments in the wiggler and wiggler design .

A 15-pole superconducting wiggler with period length of 6 cm is designed for National Synchrotron Research Center (NSRRC) in Taiwan. The compact superconducting wiggler will be installed near the second bending magnet of the triple bend achromat section in the 1.5 GeV storage ring. This wiggler magnet with maximum peak field of 3.2 T at pole gap width of 19 mm is operated in 4.2 K liquid helium vessel. A 5-pole prototype magnet is tested and measured to verify the magnetic field performance in the testing dewar. Furthermore, the cryogenic considerations and thermal analysis in the 4.2 K wiggler magnet and the 77 K vacuum chamber are also presented in this work.

| MOPKF053 | Pulsed-wire Method of Field Measurement on Short Elliptically Polarized Undulator | injection, wiggler, linac, booster | 428 | ||
|
With two sets of photo illuminator and detector, scientists already have applied pulsed-wire method to measure the magnetic field along two mutually perpendicular directions. Two-dimensional pulsed-wire method is useful for the test of elliptically polarlized undulator (EPU). We tried to use this method to observe the first integral and second integral fields of a short EPU in real time during the polarization tuning. We have taken care more details than the pulsed-wire measurement of planner undulators. The phase difference, the relative field strength along two direction as well as the precise centerline can be achieved.

| MOPKF054 | Generation of Femtosecond Electron Pulses | injection, wiggler, booster, radiation | 431 | ||
|
Femtosecond electron pulses have become an interesting tool for basic and applied applications, especially in time-resolved experiments and dynamic studies of biomolecules. Intense, coherent radiation can be generated in a broad far-infrared spectrum with intensities, which are many orders of magnitude higher than conventional sources including synchrotron radiation sources. At the Fast Neutron Research Facility (FNRF), Chiangmai University (Thailand), the SURIYA project has been established with the aim to produce femtosecond pulses utilizing a combination of a S-band thermionic rf-gun and an alpha-magnet as the magnetic bunch compressor. A specially designed rf-gun has been constructed to obtain the optimum beam characteristics for best bunch compression. Simulation results show that the bunch lengths as short as 50 fs rms can be expected at the experimental station. This rf- gun, an alpha-magnet and a 20 MeV linac with beam transport system were installed and are being commissioned to generate femtosecond electron bunches. To measure the bunch length of the electron pulses, a Michelson interferometer will be used to observe the spectrum of coherent FIR transition radiation via optical autocorrelation. The main results of numerical simulations and experimental results will be discussed in this paper.

| MOPKF055 | A Study of CSR Induced Microbunching Using Numerical Simulations | injection, wiggler, booster, bunching | 434 | ||
|
Microbunching due to Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) has been predicted for high density bunches and has been 'observed' using numerical simulations by the code ELEGANT of M. Borland, which includes a 1D model of CSR. However, there is currently a debate as to whether this micro-bunching is a real physical effect or is a numerical artefact, possibly introduced by having to use macro-particles to model the electrons. In particular, the amplitude of the micro-bunching diminishes as the number of macroparticles increases, but the question remains open as to whether the amplitude converges to zero or a finite value. The micro-bunching produced by ELEGANT is being studied as a function of the numerical parameters of the code and also as a function of the range of bunch parameters and bending magnet strengths of relevance to the 180 degree bending arcs required for the proposed 4GLS at Daresbury Laboratory. Calculations with up to 2 million macroparticles have been carried out on a Linux workstation using gaussian bunches of FWHM of 2psec and charge of 1 nC, and show the existence of microbunching at the end of a 180 degree arc containing 5 TBA cells with magnet strengths of 0.5T. Further investigation of this problem is required.

| MOPKF056 | Injector Design for the 4GLS Energy Recovery Linac Prototype | injection, wiggler, bunching, gun | 437 | ||
|
Daresbury Laboratory has been given funding for the construction of an Energy Recovery Linac Prototype (ERLP) that operates at a target electron beam energy of 35 MeV and drives an IR oscillator FEL. The ERLP serves as a test-bed for the study of beam dynamics and accelerator technology important for the design and construction of the proposed 4th Generation Light Source (4GLS). A key component of the ERLP is a high-brightness injector. The injector consists of a DC photocathode gun, which is currently being built at Daresbury Laboratory and based on the design of the gun for the IR demonstrator FEL at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The gun section is followed by a conventional buncher cavity, a super-conducting booster and a transfer line to the main linac. In this paper, the design of the ERLP injector is discussed. The performance of the injector has been studied using the particle tracking code ASTRA.

|
Daresbury Laboratory has funding for the design and construction of an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) prototype to facilitate the R&D necessary for the 4th Generation Light Source (4GLS). In the prototype a 35MeV electron beam will be used to drive an Infra-Red Oscillator Free-Electron Laser. The ring consists of two 180°; triple bend achromats, two straight sections, an injection chicane, an extraction chicane and two bunch compression/decompression chicanes. A number of pre-existing magnets will be used in the ring so the new magnets have been designed to ensure compatibility with the existing designs, enabling common power supply, vacuum and control system specifications. This paper gives an overview of the magnet requirements for the facility and details of the engineering realisation.

| MOPKF060 | Space Charge Effects for the ERL Prototype at Daresbury Laboratory | wiggler, bunching, gun, insertion | 446 | ||
|
Daresbury Laboratory is currently building an Energy Recovery Linac Prototype (ERLP) that will operate at a beam energy of 35 MeV. In this paper we examine the Space Charge effects on the beam dynamics in the ERLP injector line. This is done in two distinct ways. The first is based on an analytic formula derived by Vinokurov through the envelope equations and a Kapchinsky-Vladimirsky (KV) distribution. This formula gives a rough estimate of the space charge effects in the case that no quadrupoles or dipoles are present in the injector line. The second estimate is given by the multi-particle tracking code ASTRA for the whole injector line both with and without quadrupoles. Both methods are compared and are found to be in good agreement. Typical examples of injector lines are given together with specific calculations for the ERLP.

| MOPKF063 | 4GLS and the Prototype Energy Recovery Linac Project at Daresbury | wiggler, bunching, gun, insertion | 455 | ||
|
The 4GLS project is a novel next generation solution for a UK national light source proposed to be sited at Daresbury. It is based on an energy recovery linac (ERL) operating at high average beam currents up to 100mA and with compression schemes producing pulses in the 10-100 fs range. This would provide a unique spontaneous emission source with high average brightness output both from undulators and bending magnets. In addition to this operating regime a high peak current mode would also be possible at lower duty cycle, enabling a high gain FEL amplifier to generate XUV radiation. Longer wavelength FELs are also planned. This challenging accelerator technology, new to Europe, necessitates a significant R&D programme and as a major part of this a low energy prototype, the ERLP, is being constructed at Daresbury. The paper summarises the ERLP design specification, describes the component solutions adopted and explains the 4GLS project status and plans.

| MOPKF064 | Design Considerations for a Helical Undulator for the Production of Polarised Positrons for TESLA | wiggler, bunching, gun, insertion | 458 | ||
|
An efficient and simple method for the production of positrons, in the necessary quantities, is one of the problems facing proposals for any future e+ e- Linear Collider project. The possibility of colliding polarised beams would also be an advantage. One method to produce a polarised positron beam uses circularly polarised radiation generated by the main electron beam passing through a helical undulator. Design considerations and calculations for two undulators, based on super-conducting and pure permanent magnet technologies, for the TESLA machine, are presented.

| MOPKF065 | Magnet Block Sorting for Variably Polarising Undulators | wiggler, bunching, gun, insertion | 461 | ||
|
Effective sorting of permanent magnet blocks for undulators can reduce the adverse effects of magnetic in-homogeneities and engineering tolerances on the electron beam. For variably polarising undulators the number of different modes of operation make defining the objective function of a particular permutation more difficult than for a planar device. Factors required in defining a good objective function for a new APPLE-II type helical undulator for the SRS are discussed. These factors include calculating the magnetic field integrals, the particle trajectory and rms optical phase error. The effects of different weighting of these functions in the objective function are also discussed. A comparison of different optimisation techniques, including simulated annealing and Monte Carlo methods is also made.

| MOPKF066 | Magnetic Design of a Focusing Undulator for ALPHA-X | undulator, wiggler, bunching, gun | 464 | ||
|
ALPHA-X is a four-year project shared between several research groups in the UK to build a laser-plasma accelerator and produce coherent short-wavelength radiation in an FEL. The FEL undulator will be a 1.5m long, 100 period permanent magnet device with a minimum gap of 3.5mm and a peak field of 0.7T. To focus the beam inside the undulator, several schemes were examined. In the scheme that was selected, the magnet blocks are designed so that the pole face is an approximation of a parabola. This focuses the beam horizontally and vertically. The magnetic design of the undulator is complete; design of the support structure is well under way. Test pieces have been built to ensure that the clamping arrangement is strong enough to cope with the magnetic forces involved. The complete undulator will be built in late 2004 at Daresbury Laboratory, and tested on-site in the new magnet test facility.

| MOPKF067 | Comparison of Different Buncher Cavity Designs for the 4GLS ERLP | undulator, wiggler, bunching, gun | 467 | ||
|
A DC photocathode gun is part of the injector of the Energy Recovery Linac Prototype (ERLP) currently built at Daresbury Laboratory. A buncher is required for the ERLP to decrease the bunch length off the gun. Three different single-cell cavity designs were investigated: The Cornell buncher, the Elbe Buncher and an EU cavity without Higher Order Mode (HOM) dampers. The properties of these cavities were studied with the computer codes CST's Microwave Studio and ASTRA. The fundamental frequency and field pattern was investigated in Microwave Studio. The EU cavity had to be scaled from 500MHz as the required frequency for the buncher is 1.3GHz. As the anticipated kinetic energy of the electron beam after the gun is about 350keV a particle tracking code including the space charge forces is mandatory to study the effect of the different buncher cavity designs on the beam dynamics. The particle tracking code ASTRA was used to study the performance of the bunchers for a variety of beam parameters. From these investigations it was found that the three bunchers produce very similar effects on the particle bunch.

| MOPKF068 | Experimental Study of the Stability Margin with Beam Heating in a Short-Period Superconducting Undulator for the APS | undulator, wiggler, bunching, gun | 470 | ||
|
A superconducting undulator with a period of 15 mm is under development at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The undulator is designed to achieve a peak field on the beam axis of 0.8 T with an 8 mm pole tip gap and an NbTi coilpack current density of 1 kA/mm2. Because of the high current density in the coilpack, the superconducting magnet operates at about 75% of the short sample limit at 4.2K. Additional heat load to the coilpack, mainly due to the image currents and synchrotron radiation from the electron beam in the storage ring, will reduce the stability margin. An experiment was conducted to measure the reduction in the stability margin of the coilpack due to heat load on the beam chamber. The heat load was deposited in a 12-period prototype undulator using thin-film heaters attached to the inner surface of a simulated vacuum chamber. Evaluation of the stability margin based on the experiment and calculations of the beam heating and thermal conduction between the undulator and beam chamber will be discussed.

The photoinjector for the LBNL LUX project, a femtosecond-regime X-ray source, is a room-temperature 1.3 GHz 4-cell structure producing a 10 MeV, nominal 30 psec, 1 nanocoulomb electron bunch at a 10 kHz rate. The first cell is of reentrant geometry, with a peak field of 64 MV/m at the photocathode surface, the geometry of which will be optimized for minimum beam emittance. The high repetition rate and high peak power results in a high average surface power density. The design of the cavity, its cooling structure and power couplers, is coordinated with the configuration of the RF system, including a short, high-power driving pulse and active removal of stored energy after the beam pulse to reduce the average power dissipated in the cavity. An RF and thermal analysis will be presented, along with plans for a high average and peak power test of the first cell.

The LUX concept [1] for a superconducting recirculating linac based ultrafast x-ray facility features a unique high-brightness electron beam injector. The design of the injector complex that meets the baseline requirements for LUX are presented. A dual-rf gun injector provides both high-brightness electron beams to drive the cascaded, seeded harmonic generation VUV-soft x-ray FELs as well as the ultra- low-vertical emittance ('flat') beams that radiate in hard x-ray spontaneous emission synchrotron beamlines. Details of the injector complex design and performance characteristics are presented. Contributions by the thermal emittance and optical pulse shaping to the beam emission at the photocathode and to the beam dynamics throughout the injector are presented. Techniques that seek to optimize the injector performance, as well as constraints that prevent straightforward optimization, are discussed.

| MOPKF071 | Study of Row Phase Dependent Skew Quadrupole Fields in Apple-II type EPUs at the ALS | undulator, wiggler, bunching, insertion | 479 | ||
|
Since about 5 years, Apple-II type Elliptically Polarizing Undulators (EPU) have been used very successfully at the ALS to generate high brightness photon beams with arbitrary polarization. However, both EPUs installed so far cause significant changes of the vertical beamsize, especially when the row phase is changed to change the polarization of the photons emitted. The effect has been measured in detail and turned out to be caused by a row phase dependent skew quadrupole term in the EPUs. Magnetic measurements revealed the same effect for the third EPU to be installed later this year. All measurements to identify and quantify the effect with beam will be presented, as well as results of magnetic bench measurements and numeric field simulations.

| MOPKF072 | Towards Attosecond X-ray Pulses from the FEL | undulator, wiggler, bunching, laser | 482 | ||
|
The ability to study ultrafast phenomena has been recently advanced by the demonstrated production and measurement of a single, 650-attosecond, soft x-ray pulses precisely synchronized to the pump laser pulse consisted of just few optical cycles. The next frontier is a production of attosecond x-ray pulses at even shorter wavelengths. Here we propose the method of ?seeded attosecond x-ray radiation? where an isolated, attosecond duration, short-wavelength x-ray pulse is radiated by electrons selected by their previous interaction with a few-cycle, intense laser pulse. In principle this method allows excellent synchronization between the attosecond x-ray probe pulse and a pump source that can be the same few-cycle laser pulse or another signal derived from it.

| MOPKF073 | Design Study of the Bending Sections between Harmonic Cascade FEL Stages | undulator, wiggler, laser, insertion | 485 | ||
|
The present design of LUX (linac based ultra-fast X-ray facility) includes a harmonic cascade FEL chain to generate coherent EUV and soft X-ray radiation. Four cascade stages, each consisting of two undulators acting as a modulator and a radiator, respectively, are envisioned to produce photons of approximate wavelengths 48 nm, 12 nm, 4 nm and 1 nm. Bending sections may be placed between the modulator and the radiator of each stage to adjust and maintain bunching of the electrons, to separate, in space, photons of different wavelengths and to optimize the use of real estate. In this note, the conceptual design of such a bending section, which may be used at all four stages, is presented. Preliminary tracking results show that it is possible to maintain bunch structure of nm length scale in the presence of errors, provided that there is adequate orbit correction and there are 2 families of trim quads and trim skew quads, respectively, in each bending section.

| MOPKF074 | Harmonic Cascade FEL Designs for LUX | electron, wiggler, laser, insertion | 488 | ||
|
LUX is a proposed facility for ultrafast X-ray science, based on an electron beam accelerated to GeV energies in a recirculating linac. Included in the design are short duration (200 fs or shorter FWHM) light sources using multiple stages of higher harmonic generation, seeded by a 190–250 nm laser of similar duration. This laser modulates the energy of a group of electrons within the electron bunch; this section of the electron bunch then produces radiation at a higher harmonic after entering a second, differently tuned undulator. Repeated stages in a cascade yield increasing photon energies up to 1 keV. Most of the undulators in the cascade operate in the low-gain FEL regime. Harmonic cascades have been designed for each pass of the recirculating linac up to a final electron beam energy of 3.1 GeV. For a given cascade, the photon energy can be selected over a wide range by varying the seed laser frequency and the field strength in the undulators. We present simulation results using the codes GENESIS and GINGER, as well as the results of analytical models which predict FEL performance. We discuss lattice considerations pertinent for harmonic cascade FELs, as well as sensitivity studies and requirements on the electron beam.

The first stage of the Cornell ERL project will be a 100 MeV, 100 mA (CW) prototype machine to study the energy recovery concept with high current, low emittance beams. In the injector, a bunched 100 mA, 500 keV beam of a DC gun will be compressed in a normal-conducting copper buncher and subsequently accelerated by five superconducting 2-cell cavities to an energy of 5.5 MeV. We will present an overview of the injector status to include the status of the cryomodule design along with the status of the 2-cell HOM-free cavity, the twin-input coupler and the ferrite HOM dampers in related papers.

| MOPKF077 | Reducing the Synchrotron Radiation on RF Cavity Surfaces in an Energy-recovery Linac | electron, wiggler, linac, radiation | 494 | ||
|
In Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) light sources, a high energy, high current beam has to be bend into a superconducting linac to be decelerated. The synchrotron radiation produced in the last bending magnet before the linac shines into the superconducting structures if not collimated appropriately. Due to the length of the linac, the radiation cannot be completely guided through the superconducting structure, as in existing SRF storage rings. For the example of an ERL extension to the existing CESR storage ring at Cornell we estimate the magnitude of this problem by quantifying the heat load that can be accepted on a superconducting surface and by analyzing how much radiation is deposited on the cavity surfaces for different collimation schemes.

| MOPKF078 | ERL Upgrade of an Existing X-ray Facility: CHESS at CESR | electron, wiggler, linac, laser | 497 | ||

CORNELL has proposed an Energy-Recovery Linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility which can provide improved x-ray radiation due to the high beam quality that can be available from a linac. To additionally utilize beam currents that are competitive with ring-based light sources, the linac has to operate with the novel technique of energy recovery, the feasibility of which CORNELL plans to demonstrate in a downscaled prototype ERL. Here we present an ERL upgrade of the existing 2nd generation light source CHESS at CESR. This proposed upgrade suggests how existing storage rings can be extended to ERL light sources with much improved beam qualities.

| MOPKF079 | The Linac Coherent Light Source Photo-Injector Overview and Some Design Details | linac, wiggler, gun, insertion | 500 | ||
|
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS)[*] is a SASE free electron laser using the last 1/3 of the SLAC two mile linac to produce 1.5 to 15 angstrom x-rays in a 100 meter long undulator. A new 135 MeV photo-injector will be built in an existing, off-axis vault at the 2/3 point of the main linac. The injector accelerator consists of a BNL/SLAC/UCLA s-band gun followed by two 3-meter long SLAC accelerator sections. The 5.6 MeV beam from the gun is matched into the first accelerator section and accelerated to 135 MeV before injection onto the main linac axis with a 35 degree bend [**]. Several modifications have been made to the rf gun, linac and beamline as well as the inclusion of several diagnostics have been incorporated into the injector design to achieve the required 1.2 micron projected emittance at a charge of 1 nC. In addition, a laser heater [***], will increase the uncorrelated energy spread to suppress coherent synchrotron radiation and longitudinal space charge instabilities in the main accelerator and bunch compressors [****]. The configuration and function of the major injector components will be described.

| MOPKF080 | Controlling Emittance Growth in an FEL Beam Conditioner | linac, wiggler, gun, electron | 503 | ||
|
It has been proposed [*] to 'condition' an electron beam prior to the undulator of a Free-Electron Laser (FEL) by increasing each particle's energy in proportion to the square of its transverse betatron amplitude. This conditioning enhances FEL gain by reducing the axial velocity spread within the electron bunch. Previosly [**] we presented a system that allows conditioning of the beam on a relatively short distance, however, it suffers from projected beam emittance growth to the extent that makes it impractical for application for X-ray FELs. In this paper we extend analysis proposed by A. Wolski for general requirements to the conditioner which does not have such emittance growth. We also present a possible implementation of a beam conditioner consisting of multiple solenoid cells in combination with quadrupole magnets. Simulations show that in such a system the emittance growth can be suppressed to acceptable level, albeit in a longer system.

| MOPKF081 | Peak Current Optimization for LCLS Bunch Compressor 2 | linac, wiggler, gun, electron | 506 | ||
|
The performance of an FEL will be a function of both the driving bunch's current and its slice emittance. We have studied a set of parameters for the bunch compression section of the LCLS, simulating the effects of Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) on the slice emittance of the bunch core as a function of peak current. We use the code TraFiC4 for a three-dimensional, self-consistent simulation on parallel computers. While higher currents will increase FEL performance, its detrimental effects, due to CSR, on slice emittance will counteract this beneficial effect. From our simulations, we determine a near-optimum current, balancing these effects.

| MOPKF082 | A Multi-bunch, Three-dimensional, Strong-strong Beam-beam Simulation Code for Parallel Computers | linac, wiggler, gun, electron | 509 | ||

We have developed a parallel simulation code allowing the self-consistent, three-dimensional simulation of the strong-strong beam-beam effect, using a particle-on-mesh technique and fast elliptic solvers. It is able to operate with sufficiently high logitudinal resolution to treat phase-averaging and hourglass effects in the interaction point (IP) correctly. This code has been generalized to handle the collisions of an arbitrary set of bunches at arbitrary positions in the ring (parasitic crossings), using appropriately reduced longitudinal resolution of collisions not in the design IP. We provide benchmarking results and parameter studies based on PEP-II.

| MOPKF085 | Design Optimizations of X-ray FEL Facility at MIT | lepton, wiggler, undulator, emittance | 518 | ||
|
MIT is exploring the construction of a linac-based x-ray laser user facility on the campus of the Bates Linear Accelerator Center. The facility under consideration would span the wavelength range from 100 to 0.3 nm in the fundamental, move into the hard X-ray region in the third harmonic, and preserve the possibility of an upgrade to even shorter wavelengths. The accelerator configuration would include a high brightness electron gun, a superconducting electron linac and multiple undulators and beam lines to support a growing user community. This paper will present the recent progress on the start-to-end simulations including the parameter optimizations and sensativity analysis.

| MOPKF086 | Modifications of the LCLS Photoinjector Beamline | lepton, wiggler, undulator, damping | 521 | ||
|
The LCLS Photoinjector beamline is now in the Design and Engineering stage. The fabrication and installation of this beamline is scheduled for the summer 2006. The Photoinjector will deliver 10 ps long electron bunches of 1nC with a normalized transverse emittance of less than 1 mm.mrad for 80% of the slices constituting the core of the bunch at 135 MeV. In this paper, we describe some modifications of the beamline: new exit energy, additional focusing, insertion of a laser heater. We also describe an alternate tuning which is based on a laser pulse of 20ps. The advantages and drawbacks of this long pulse tuning are reviewed. A comparison of sensitivity to field errors and misalignment between the long pulse tuning and the nominal tuning is given.

| MOPKF087 | The Cebaf Energy Recovery Experiment: Update and Future Plans | lepton, wiggler, undulator, damping | 524 | ||
|
A successful GeV scale energy recovery demonstration with a high ratio of peak-to-injection energies (50:1) was carried out on the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) recirculating superconducting linear accelerator in the spring 2003. To gain a quantitative understanding of the beam behavior through the machine, data was taken to characterize the 6D phase space during the CEBAF-ER (CEBAF with Energy Recovery) experimental run. The transverse emittance and energy spread of the accelerating and energy recovered beams were measured in several locations to ascertain the beam quality preservation during energy recovery. Measurements also included the RF system's response to the energy recovery process and transverse beam profile of the energy recovered beam. One of the salient conclusions from the experiment is that the energy recovery process does not contribute significantly to the emittance degradation. The current status of the data analysis will be presented as well as plans for a GeV scale energy recovery experimental run with current doubling.

| MOPLT001 | Acceleration of Electrons by Spatially Modulated Laser Wave | acceleration, lepton, wiggler, undulator | 527 | ||
|
We study the acceleration of electrons in a system of linearly polarized laser wave, propagating at small angles to the direction of electron motion. The parameters of electron bunch and laser wave are chosen so, that during driving electrons in a band of a wave, the electric field of a wave has not changed the direction. The requirements of deriving of maximum rate of acceleration are found depending on parameters of electronic bunch and laser wave. It is shown, that the dependence of growth of electrons energy from number of light bands has nonlinear character. The influence of light diffraction on process of acceleration is considered. It is shown, that the discussed scheme of acceleration allows a possibility of deriving of high acceleration rate owing to existence of modern powerful lasers.

| MOPLT003 | Upgrading the LNLS Control System from a Proprietary to a Commercial Communications Environment | acceleration, lepton, wiggler, undulator | 530 | ||
|
The LNLS Control System was built over a proprietary technology, due to governmental policy of information technology in the mid 80's. This made interfacing to commercial systems difficult, limited the technology transfer to the private sector, required a staff with specific knowledge and reduced the possibility of new implementations on the system. Nowadays, the cost to move all of our hardware to a commercial one is out of our budget. This paper describes a proposal, the viability study and first results to move only the communication interfaces to a commercial environment, keeping most of our hardware unchanged and opening the way to gradually move the system to widely accepted standards, when and if necessary. This solution allows a smooth implementation without long periods of machine shutdown and keeps the possibility to operate the machine concurrently between old and new communication interfaces.

| MOPLT004 | Control of the LHC 400 MHz RF System (ACS) | acceleration, lepton, wiggler, undulator | 533 | ||
|
The LHC ACS RF system is composed of 16 superconducting cavities, eight per ring. Each ring has two cryomodules, each containing four cavities. Each cavity is powered by a 300 kW klystron. The klystrons are grouped in fours, the klystrons in each group sharing a common 58 kV power converter and HV equipment bunker. The ACS RF control system is based on modern industrial programmable controllers (PLCs). A new fast interlock and alarm system with inbuilt diagnostics has been developed. Extensive use of the FIPIO Fieldbus drastically decreases the cabling complexity and brings improved signal quality, increased reliability and easier maintenance. Features of the implementation, such as system layout, communication and the high level software interface are described. Operational facilities such as the automatic switch on procedure are described, as well as the necessary specialist tools and interfaces. A complete RF chain,including high voltage, cryomodule and klystron is presently being assembled in order to check, as far as possible, all aspects of RF system operation before LHC installation. The experience gained so far in this test chain with the new control system is presented

| MOPLT005 | An Improved Collimation System for the LHC | acceleration, lepton, wiggler, undulator | 536 | ||
|
The LHC design parameters extend the maximum stored beam energy 2-3 orders of magnitude beyond present experience. The handling of the high-intensity LHC beams in a super-conducting environment requires a high-robustness collimation system with unprecedented cleaning efficiency. For gap closures down to 2mm no beam instabilities may be induced from the collimator impedance. A difficult trade-off between collimator robustness, cleaning efficiency and collimator impedance is encountered. The conflicting LHC requirements are resolved with a phased approach, relying on low Z collimators for maximum robustness and hybrid metallic collimators for maximum performance. Efficiency is further enhanced with an additional cleaning close to the insertion triplets. The machine layouts have been adapted to the new requirements. The LHC collimation hardware is presently under design and has entered into the prototyping and early testing phase. Plans for collimator tests with beam are presented.

| MOPLT006 | The New Layout of the LHC Cleaning Insertions | acceleration, lepton, wiggler, undulator | 539 | ||
|
The improved LHC collimation system required significant changes in the layout and design of the warm insertion IR7. Requirements for collimation, optics, impedance, vacuum, and additional infrastructure are described and the adopted layout is discussed. Various design principles have been explored during the re-design, ranging from a regular 90 degree lattice and special low impedance lattices to an option with additional warm quadrupole units that could have extended the usable space for collimator installations in the insertion. The various constraints for the optics and cleaning design in the LHC cleaning insertions are summarized. Magnet positions and collimators were moved significantly, such that a good cleaning efficiency was maintained while impedance was reduced by a factor of two. Metallic phase 2 collimators allow a better efficiency than originally achievable and additional scrapers were allocated. The required infrastructure was specified, including a powerful cooling system for the collimators.

| MOPLT007 | Base Line Design for a Beta-beam Neutrino Facility | lepton, wiggler, acceleration, undulator | 542 | ||
|
The term beta-beam has been coined for the production of pure beams of electron neutrinos or their antiparticles through the decay of radioactive ions circulating in a storage ring. The neutrino source itself consists of a high energy storage ring (gamma ~150), with long straight sections in line with the experiment(s). The radioactive ions (6He and 18Ne) will be produced in an ISOL type target system. Due to the short life times of around 1s at rest, the beam needs to be accelerated as quickly as possible. For this a staged system of accelerators is proposed. The chain starts with a linac followed by a rapid cycling synchrotron for acceleration up to ~300 MeV/u. For further acceleration the existing PS and SPS machines are used. Finally, after acceleration to SPS top energy, the ions are transferred to the decay ring where they are merged with the already circulating bunch through a longitudinal stacking procedure. The base line design of the beta beam facility will be presented and the major design problems encountered as well possible solutions will be discussed.

| MOPLT008 | The Mechanical Design for the LHC Collimators | lepton, wiggler, acceleration, undulator | 545 | ||
|
The design of the LHC collimators must comply with the very demanding specifications entailed by the highly energetic beam handled in the LHC: these requirements impose a temperature on the collimating jaws not exceeding 50°C in steady operations and an unparalleled overall geometrical stability of 25micro-m on a 1200 mm span. At the same time, the design phase must meet the challenging deadlines required by the general time schedule. To respond to these tough and sometimes conflicting constraints, the chosen design appeals to a mixture of traditional and innovative technologies, largely drawing from LEP collimator experience. The specifications impose a low-Z material for the collimator jaws, directing the design towards graphite or such novel materials as 3-d Carbon/Carbon composites. An accurate mechanical design has allowed to considerably reduce mechanical play and optimize geometrical stability. Finally, all mechanical studies were supported by in-depth thermo-mechanical analysis concerning temperature distribution, mechanical strength and cooling efficiency.

| MOPLT015 | Reliability Issues of the LHC Beam Dumping System | lepton, wiggler, acceleration, undulator | 563 | ||
|
The Beam Dumping System of the Large Hadron Collider, presently under construction at CERN, must function with utmost reliability to protect the personnel, minimize the risk of severe damage to the machine and avoid undue impact to the environment. The dumping action must be synchronized with the particle free gap and the field of the extraction and dilution elements must be well adjusted to the beam energy. The measures taken to arrive at a reliable and safe system will be described, like the adoption of fault tolerant design principles and other safety related features as comprehensive monitoring, diagnostics and protection facilities. These issues will be discussed in the general framework of the IEC standard recommendations for safety critical systems. Some examples related to the most critical functions will be included.

The new fast extraction system in LSS4 of the SPS and the transfer line TT40 were installed between 2000 and 2003, and commissioned with beam in late 2003. The extraction system and transfer line will serve both the anti-clockwise ring of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the long baseline neutrino (CNGS) facility. The layout and functionality of the main elements are briefly explained, including the various hardware subsystems and the controls system. The safety procedures, test objectives and results of the system commissioning with beam are described, together with the test methodology. Conclusions are drawn concerning the performance of the system elements, agreement between predicted and expected activation levels and test efficiency and procedures. The test results are also briefly discussed in the context of future LHC beam commissioning activities.

| MOPLT019 | Experience Gained in the SPS for the Future LHC Abort Gap Cleaning | lepton, wiggler, acceleration, undulator | 575 | ||
|
Abort gap cleaning using a transverse damper (feedback) has been previously shown in the RHIC accelerator. We report on experimental results in the SPS, where the transverse damper was used to excite transverse oscillations on part of an LHC test beam, and by the induced losses, creating a practically particle free zone. It is proposed to use the same principle for abort gap cleaning in the LHC. For the LHC abort gap cleaning may be required at injection energy, during the ramp and at top energy. It is shown how the transverse excitation can be optimized taking into account the actual bandwidth of the damper systems and the possibility to fully modulate their input signal to match the beam batatron tune distribution. The cleaning efficiency and speed is estimated considering the porcesses involved, the cleaning (with damper) and the filling of the abort gap.

| MOPLT020 | Limits to the Performance of the LHC with Ion Beams | lepton, wiggler, acceleration, undulator | 578 | ||
|
The performance of the LHC as a heavy-ion collider will be limited by a diverse range of phenomena that are often qualitatively different from those limiting the performance with protons. We summarise the latest understanding and results concerning the consequences of nuclear electromagnetic processes in lead ion collisions, the interactions of ions with the residual gas and the effects of lost ions on the beam environment and vacuum. Besides these limitations on beam intensity, lifetime and luminosity, performance will be governed by the evolution of the beam emittances under the influences of synchrotron radiation damping, intra-beam scattering, RF noise and multiple scattering on residual gas. These effects constrain beam parameters in the LHC ring throughout the operational cycle with lead ions.

| MOPLT023 | Electron Model of an FFAG Muon Accelerator | lepton, wiggler, injection, undulator | 587 | ||
|
Parameters are derived for the lattice and RF system of electron models of a non-scaling FFAG ring for accelerating muons. The models accelerate electrons from about 10 to about 20 MeV, and have circumferences between 10 and 17 m. Magnet types and dimensions, spacings, half apertures, about 12~mm by 20~mm,and number of cells are presented. The magnetic components are compared to existing magnets. The tune variation with momentum covers several integers, similar to that in a full machine, and allows the study of resonance crossing. The consequences of misaligned magnets are studied by simulation. The lattices are designed such that transition is at about 15 MeV. The variation of orbit length with momentum is less than 36~mm, and allows the study of acceleration outside a bucket. A 100~mm straight section, in each of the cells, is adequately long for an RF cavity operating at 3 GHz. Hamiltonian dynamics in longitudinal phase space close to transition is used to calculate the accelerating voltage needed. Acceleration is studied by simulation. Practical RF system design issues, e.g. RF power, and beam loading are estimated.

| MOPLT025 | Status and Plans for the SPS to LHC Beam Transfer Lines TI 2 and TI 8 | lepton, wiggler, injection, undulator | 593 | ||
|
Beam transfer from the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be done through the two transfer lines TI 2 and TI 8, presently under construction, with a combined length of about 5.6 km. The final layout, optics design and correction scheme for these lines will be presented. The requirement of simultaneously matching their geometry and optics with that of the LHC will be treated, including the methodology for alignment of the elements along the line and a proposed solution in the final matching section. After the commissioning of the short transfer line TT40 just upstream of TI 8 in 2003, beam tests of the whole of TI 8 are scheduled for autumn 2004, with the aim to validate many of the new features and mechanisms involved in the future control and operation of these lines. The status of the installation will be described, comprising the progress with infrastructure, services and line elements. An outlook will be given for the work remaining until 2007.

| MOPLT026 | Equipment Manufacturing and Test Data Tracking for the LHC | lepton, wiggler, injection, undulator | 596 | ||
|
The MTF system was developed at CERN to capture the design, manufacturing and test data of equipment built for LHC. Today, more than 80.000 descriptions of LHC equipment are managed using the MTF. The system handles both production data and non-conformance issues. The acquisition of the equipment data is both an organisational and a technical challenge. On the organisational side many different aspects of production and management have to be taken into account. The LHC equipment suppliers, wherever their production facilities are located, whatever their computer skills or rates of production are, need a user friendly environment to provide the data with a very limited effort on the shop floor. For expensive equipment such as the LHC dipoles a reliable and robust non-conformance methodology must be put in place, the MTF provides the required information technology support tools. The EDMS Service has developed methods, training processes and tools to cope with an extensive use of the system, a use that will grow during the next years until the LHC is installed. This paper presents the experience acquired and the solutions put in place.

| MOPLT027 | Cold Beam Vacuum Interconnects for the LHC Insertion Regions | lepton, wiggler, injection, undulator | 599 | ||
|
The LHC machine is composed of arcs and insertion regions where superconducting magnets, working at temperatures of 1.9 K and 4.5 K, have flexibly interconnected beam vacuum chambers. These interconnects must respect strict requirements in terms of impedance, aperture, space optimization and reliability. A complete interconnect design was first developed for the arc regions, and from which a total of 20 variants have been created according to the different functional requirements of each pair of cryostats along the machine. All design features and manufacture processes were validated through extensive testing. Manufacture and assembly cost was minimised by using a modular interconnect design, with common components shared among different design variants. A detailed quality assurance structure was implemented in order to achieve the high level of reliability required. This paper presents the layout of cold beam vacuum interconnects along with details of development and testing performed to validate design and integration.

| MOPLT028 | In-Situ Vibration Measurements of the CTF2 Quadrupoles | lepton, wiggler, injection, undulator | 602 | ||
|
The Compact LInear Collider (CLIC), presently under study at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), aims at colliding high-energy ‘‘nanobeams'' at a luminosity of 1035 cm-2s-1. Vibrations of the lattice elements, if not properly corrected, can result in a loss in performance by creating both unacceptable emittance growth in the linear accelerator and relative beam-beam offsets at the interaction point. Of particular concern are the vibrations induced by the accelerator environment. For example, the circulating water used to cool the lattice quadrupoles will increase magnet vibration levels. In the framework of the CLIC stability study, in-situ measurements of quadrupole vibrations have been performed at the CLIC Test Facility 2 (CTF2) with all accelerator equipment switched on. Since the CTF2 quadrupoles and their alignment support structures are realistic prototypes of those to be used in the CLIC linac, the measurements provide a realistic estimate of the CLIC magnet vibrations in a realistic accelerator working environment.

A VME based control system has been developed and built at CERN for the servo loops regulating the field in linac accelerating structures. It is an all-digital system built on a single VME card, providing digital detection, processing, and modulation. It is foreseen to be used, in different versions, for the needs of both present and future CERN hadron linacs. The first application will be in the energy ramping RF chain of the CERN Heavy Ion Linac (linac 3). In addition to regulating the cavity field, the system incorporates the measurement and control of the cavity resonance as well as an imbedded loop stabilizing the gain and the phase of the final amplifier operating near saturation. The design principle and the experimental results are described.

We then extend our analysis to a ternary Nb-based ductile alloy such as Nb-Ti-Ta, a less developed but relatively cheap super-conducting material which would allow us to gain about 1 T of peak field on the coils, and discuss the corresponding luminosity reach for a possible LHC upgrade compared to that based on Nb3Sn magnet technology.

| MOPLT031 | LHC Abort Gap Filling by Proton Beam | lepton, wiggler, injection, undulator | 611 | ||
|
Safe operation of the LHC beam dump relies on the possibility of firing the abort kicker at any moment during beam operation. One of the necessary conditions for this is that the number of particles in the abort gap should be below some critical level defined by quench limits. Various scenarios can lead to particles filling the abort gap. The relevant time scales associated with these scenarios are estimated for top energy where the synchrotron radiation losses are not negligible for uncaptured particle motion. Two cases are considered, both with RF on and RF off. The equilibrium distribution of lost particles in the abort gap defines the requirements for maximum tolerable relative loss rate and as a consequence the minimum acceptable longitudinal lifetime of the proton beam in collision.

| TUPKF051 | A 500 kV Power System for a Gridded Sheet-beam Klystron | klystron, positron, focusing, plasma | 1066 | ||
|
The Next Generation Linear Collider (NLC) will require hundreds of X-band high power klystrons. These klystrons are typically cathode pulsed at 500 kV and 265 A each, with 1.6 microsecond pulses of RF, and a complex microwave delay line to achieve 400 ns RF pulses. Because the pulsed voltage is so high, CV2f losses will lead to many millions of dollars per year of wasted power. The klystron group at SLAC, working with Calabazas Creek Research (CCR), is developing a gridded, sheet beam klystron. This new klystron design avoids the CV2 losses of cathode pulsing because its cathode is not pulsed - it remains at a constant high voltage. Instead, the grid voltage is pulsed over a much smaller (6 kV) voltage range. This paper will describe DTI's progress in development of the electronics required to drive this new klystron, including a 500 kV multiplier power supply and grid modulator, a multi-concentric high voltage cable, which also acts as the pulse forming line, and an advanced, reentrant cable connection to the klystron itself. This design allows the klystron to be located adjacent to the beamline, and separated from the power electronics, improving RF efficiency, maintainability, and overall reliability.

| TUPKF053 | New Waveguide-type HOM Damper for the ALS Storage Ring RF Cavities | positron, focusing, plasma, impedance | 1069 | ||
|
The ALS storage ring 500 MHz RF system uses two re-entrant accelerating cavities powered by a single 320kW PHILLIPS YK1305 klystron. During several years of initial operation, the RF cavities were not equipped with effective passive HOM damper systems. Longitudinal beam stability was achieved through cavity temperature control and the longitudinal feedback system (LFB), which was often operating at the edge of its capabilities. As a result, longitudinal beam stability was a significant operations issue at the ALS. During two consecutive shutdown periods (April 2002 and 2003) we installed E-type HOM dampers on the main and third harmonic cavities. These devices dramatically decreased the Q-values of the longitudinal anti-symmetric HOM modes. The next step is to damp the rest of the longitudinal HOM modes in the main cavities below the synchrotron radiation damping level. This will hopefully eliminate the need for the LFB and set the stage for a possible increase in beam current. The ?waveguide? type of HOM damper was the only option that didn?t significantly compromise the vacuum performance of the RF cavity. The design process and the results of the low level measurements of the new waveguide dampers are presented in this paper.

|
The S-DALINAC is a 130 MeV superconducting recirculating electron accelerator serving several nuclear and radiation physics experiments as well as driving an infrared free-electron laser. For the experiments an energy stability of 1·10-4 should be reached. Therefore noninvasive beam position monitors will be used to measure the beam energy. For the measurement the different flight time of the electrons to the ideal particle are compared, that means in the simulations the longitudinal dispersion of the beam transport system is used for the energy detection. The results of the simulations show that it is possible to detect an energy difference of 1·10-4 with this method. The results are also proven by measurements.

A new building for the physics faculty at the Goethe-University in Frankfurt is under construction including an experimental hall. The Institute of Applied Physics IAP has started development of a high current ion beam facility consisting of a high voltage terminal(150 kV,I_beam < 300 mA,H-,p,Bi+), a 10 MV linear rf accelerator and a high current storage ring for 150 keV beams. The 150 kV terminal equipment is already ordered while the subsequent units are in the design stage. The storage ring will use a stellarator-like magnetic configuration to allow for a high degree of space charge compensation by electrons. The facility will allow high current beam investigations as well as experiments in fields of plasma, nuclear and atomic physics.

The SSI/LPSC laboratory is involved in the development of high intensity sources for the driver accelerator and on the improvements of a charge breeding system for its operation inside an highly radioactive environment. We will present the results obtained for the qualification of a 5 mAe/40 KV beam of Deuteron ions dedicated to the feeding of the driver. Concerning the heavy ions, the source PHOENIX 18/28 GHz has been chosen as injector of the driver. The optimization of the source is done in order to produce reliable beams of 1mAe / O6+ and 0.3 mAe of Ar12+ at 60 KV. Theses developments are presently done with the room temperature version of PHOENIX (including a new version of the hexapole of the source). In parallel, an upgrade version of PHOENIX, using HTS coils, is under construction and is dedicated to production of very high intensity of the Argon ions (up to 1 mAe of Ar12+). A charge breeding system is also under qualification. The PHOENIX Booster source confirms that efficiency for mass around hundred can reach up to 6%. Now the efforts consist in precisely defining the 1+ beam matching for charge breeding tuning of the source (emittance measurements).

In order to meet the high availability/reliability required by the PDS-XADS design the accelerator needs to implement, to the maximum possible extent, a fault tolerance strategy that would allow beam operation in the presence of most of the envisaged faults that could occur in its beamline components. In this work we report the results of beam dynamics simulations performed to characterize the effects of the faults of the main linac components (cavities, deflecting and focusing magnets, …) on the beam parameters. The outcome of this activity is the definition of the possible corrective and preventive actions that could be conceived (and implemented in the system) in order to guarantee the fault tolerance characteristics of the accelerator.

A Superconducting Linac Driver, delivering deuterons with energy up to 40 MeV (5 mA) and heavy ions with energy of 14.5 MeV/u (1 mA ), is proposed for the Spiral-2 radioactive beams facility. For the high energy section of the linac, a superconducting 88 MHz Quarter Wave Resonator (beta 0.12) has been designed and the optimisation of RF and mechanical performances will be presented. Based on the present state-of-art of the Superconducting RF technology, maximum electric surface field of 40 MV/m and magnetic surface field of 80 mT, have been adopted which should allow to reach an accelerating field of 7 MV/m (energy gain 3 MeV per resonator). A first complete prototype is under construction. The high intensity deuteron beam specifications have imposed the design of an original power coupler (maximum power 20 KW). The RF, mechanical, and thermal characteristics will be presented. The design of the cryomodule for this high energy section, integrating two QWR with its associated equipments (couplers, tuners, helium tanks), will be presented.

Optical asymmetries have been measured and analyzed, before and after the magnet realignments. One way is to compare theoretical to measured orbit response matrices. Another way is to analyze the measured response matrix itself, by comparing the measured effects at identical optical positions. To evaluate the effects of the sextupoles on the optical asymmetries, the measurements have been performed with the sextupoles ON and OFF. The impact of a partial realignment is also analyzed both by varying the quadrupole excitations as well as by performing dispersion and coupling measurements. The results are presented in this paper.

A new femtosecond pulseradiolysis system was developed in Osaka University for the study of radiation-induced ultrafast physical and chemical reactions in femtosecond time regions. In the pulseradiolysis system, a femtosecond electron beam produced by a photocathode RF gun is used as an irradiation source, while a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser was used as a probe light source. A time jitter between the electron pulse and the femtosecond laser was compensated by a jitter compensation technique used a femtosecond streak camera. An oblique incidence of the probe light is considered in the system to reduce the degradation of velocity difference between the electron and the laser light in samples. A time resolution of <100 fs is expected in the pulse radiolysis system for the analysis of utrafast physical and chemical reactions in nano-space.

Irradiation is already a well-known decontamination method, but it received less attention for medicinal plants, especially on fresh herbs. Microbial load behavior, antioxidant activity, and enzymatic inhibition activity were measured for doses between 1 and 50 kGy. Up to 5 kGy, herbs are decontaminated without any important alteration in the active principles, but they loose their fresh aspect easier than non-irradiated ones. The last effect could be useful for the extracting process in which herbs are stressed anyway.

| THPKF044 | The Improvement of NSRRC Linac for Top-up Mode Operation | target, laser, booster, beamloading | 2371 | ||
|
The performance of the 50 MeV linac at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) was examined and has been improved recently. The major improved items were 1) adopting a command-charging scheme to replace the resonance charging for the linac modulator; and 2) gun electronics. As a result, the beam quality was improved in terms of its energy spectrum and stability. The correlation between the improvement of beam quality and component upgrading is analyzed. The influence of the beam quality improvement to the recently proposed top-up mode operation in 2005 will also be discussed in this report.

|
Several top-up experiments were carried out at various upgrade path of Taiwan Light Source. However, there were too many obstacles laid ahead of various stages to prevent the realization of top-up injection routinely. The small gap undulators, the requirement of small emittance operation and high current operation by SC cavity have promoted the top-up injection project to hightest priority. During last one and half years, a series of beam parameters measurement, subsystem checkout, installing various sensors, control program modification and hardware upgrade made the top-up injection more likely in routine operation. Discussions on the results of some measurements of booster and storage ring, the requirement of hardware upgrade and the future executable plan will be presented in this paper.

| THPKF051 | The Status-2004 of the KURCHATOV Center of SR | target, laser, beamloading, beamlosses | 2383 | ||
|
Kurchatov Synchrotron Radiation Source (KCSR) began the work as a first dedicated synchrotron radiation facility in Russia in 1999. The facility includes two storage rings: 450 MeV SIBERIA-1 and 2.5 GeV SIBERIA-2 and is intended for experiments in the range of SR from VUV up to hard X-ray. Large progress was achieved in increasing SIBERIA-2 stored current during last year. Now maximum current at injection energy is more than 220 mA and it equals to 140 mA at operation energy. The SR dose is rising fast and the life time is also grown because of the outgassing of vacuum chamber by SR. Consequently, after the only one electrons accumulation the work during 24 hours on experimental stations becomes possible with SR beams unbroken. Eight experimental stations with SR beam lines and hutches were mounted and are now in routine operation with SR from bending magnets in experimental hall of Siberia-2. We are installing next beam lines there. SIBERIA-1 also has experimental hall with three beam lines and three experimental stations being in operation. The report describes the current work and the plans on the storage rings. It informs about achieved consumer parameters of an electron beam and status of SR stations.

A multibunch photo-cathode RF gun system has been developed as a electron source for the production of quasi-monoenergetic X-rays based on inverse Compton scattering. This system consists of a photocathode rf gun, a cathode system, a laser system, beam diagnostic sections, and beam dump line. The gun produces 100 bunches with a 2.8ns bunch spacing and 5nC bunch charge. We will report on the RF gun system with 4 bending dipoles of a chicane which makes the laser injection to the cathode with perpendicular angle possible.

Since 1994, the clinical trial at HIMAC has been successfully being progressed and more than 1,700 patients have treated with carbon ions. Owing to the good result of HIMAC, several medical groups in Japan have strongly required the carbon therapy facility. Based on the development of accelerator and the irradiation technologies for 10 years, therefore, we started to design a carbon therapy facility in Japan. The accelerator complex for the facility consists of two ECR ion sources with permanent magnets, an injector linac cascade (RFQ+IH) with the energy of 4 MeV/n, a synchrotron ring with the maximum energy of 400 MeV/n and beam delivery system for three treatment rooms. The R&D for the new facility has been already approved and will be started from April 2004. We will describe the conceptual design of the new facility.

| THPLT067 | Development of Optical Diffraction Radiation Beam Size Diagnostics at KEK Accelerator Test Facility | laser, vacuum, antiproton, gun | 2643 | ||
|
Extremely low emittance high current beam is required for the accelerators of the next generation such as linear collider to achieve a reasonable luminosity. However, up to now there is no a simple non-invasive technique for beam diagnostics. A method based on optical diffraction radiation (ODR) appearing when a charged particle passes through a slit between two semi-planes can be one of the promising approaches. The estimations show that it might be possible to measure the beam size as small as 10mcm for a single shot. For a test of the proposed technique we designed an experimental setup and installed it at the extraction line of the KEK-ATF (1.26GeV beam energy, 1010 e/bunch, rms beam size > 10mcm). The electron beam was moving through a 0.26mm wide slit. We have measured backward ODR angular distribution. We have observed the beam size effect on the measured quantities. The sensitivity to the beam size as small as 20mcm was achieved. However, some undesirable factors such as X-ray background, SR photons coming through the mask slit, big detector angular acceptance have to be reduced. In this case a few micrometers beam size could be measured.

| THPLT068 | Transverse Bunch-by-bunch Feedback System for the SPring-8 Storage Ring | laser, antiproton, gun, cyclotron | 2646 | ||
|
A transverse bunch-by-bunch feedback system is developed for the SPring-8 storage ring. An analog de-multiplexer is developed to slice out every six-bunch signal for high-resolution 12-bit ADCs of clock frequency 85MHz, one-sixth of 508MHz RF frequency. Six commercial ADC-FPGA-DAC boards are used for processing the signal from the de-multiplexer. A custom FPGA board is used to multiplex the output signals from those boards. The feedback system is installed in the ring and working with the damping time of 0.5~2.5ms in 30kHz-254MHz and can suppress multi-bunch instabilities driven by impedances of resistive-wall of in-vacuum insertion devices and cavity HOMs at low chromaticity operation.

| THPLT069 | High Speed Beam Loss Monitor and its Deterioration by Radiation | laser, antiproton, gun, cyclotron | 2649 | ||
|
High speed loss monitor is very useful for tuning and operating the beam in an accelerator, especially in the injection and extraction period. We made a new type loss monitor by connecting a fiber to a photo-multiplier (PMT). In the case that the fiber is made of quartz, the source of the signal is Cherenkov effect. And in the case of scintillation fiber, the signal comes from the scintillation effect. The quartz is much stronger than the scintillator to the radiation, but generating light in the quartz is weaker than scintillator, especially in low energy beam. It is very easy to make this monitor and the fabrication cost is cheap. The monitor can observe the bunch loss with an order of 10 ns. After long time use under high irradiation, the signal of the monitor will decrease. Therefore, we also report the dependence of the signal strength on accumulated radiation in various types of material.

| THPLT070 | Design and Constriction of Coronagraph for Observation of Beam Halo | laser, antiproton, gun, cyclotron | 2652 | ||
|
The coronagraph is a spatial telescope to observe the sun-corona by artificial eclipse. The concept of this apparatus is to realize the Schlieren-optical system for cutting the bright diffraction fringes in order to observe a less-bright object surrounding the main image such as the sun-corona. We applied this concept for the observation of the surrounding structure (halo, tail) of the beam. Since the background is mainly scattered light come from the objective lens, the key point to observe a less-intense object is to reduce scattering light from objective lens. We used a very well-polished lens (better than scratch and dig 20/20) as objective lens, and succeeded to obtain the signal to background ratio better than 10-5. As a test, we tried to observe the tail of beam by hiding the central peak with artificial eclipse by the coronagraph at Photon Factory storage ring. We succeeded to observe the tail of beam which has an intensity range of 1/104 of the peak intensity.

| THPLT071 | Upgraded Symplectic 3D Beam Tracking of the J-PARC 3 GeV RCS | laser, antiproton, gun, cyclotron | 2655 | ||
|
The J-PARC 3 GeV ring is a rapid cycling synchrotron which consists of the large bore size magnets. The beam tracking with the 3D distributed magnetic fields is kept developing in order to investigate the beam injection process. In the case of the high intensity hadron accelerator, an accurate beam simulation is important for the designing because a very small amount of beam loss can be critical from the maintenance point of view. In order to improve the tracking accuracy and to save the calculation time, the symplectic integration with the fractal decomposition method has been introduced. The updated simulation results of the beam injection on the J-PARC 3 GeV RCS and the improved performance of ‘GenericSolver' are presented in this paper. The quadrupole fields are also treated as the 3D distributed magnetic fields because they interfered with the bump magnet fields. The remarkable features on the large bore magnet system in the ring accelerator are also discussed.

| THPLT072 | Magnet and RF Systems of Small Pulse Synchrotron for Radiotherapy | laser, antiproton, gun, cyclotron | 2658 | ||
|
To cure the malignant tumor it is desirable to equalize the treatment level to everybody anywhere he lives in. Proton and/or carbon-ion therapy are now considered as a powerful remedy as the radiation dose can be easily concentrated to the target volume by utilizing the Bragg?s peak. If a small medical accelerator is developed at a reasonable cost, it has a big potential to promote the advanced medical treatment with the accelerator in every place. This pulse synchrotron aims to reduce the size of the accelerator by generating the high magnetic field in a short time which leads to a compact ring of high field magnets. Acceleration time is only 5 msec by using the discharge current of a capacitor bank as large as 200 kA at peak, almost equivalent to half sinusoidal 50 Hz. Part of the discharge current is branched to excite the quadrupole magnets to assure the tracking between the dipole and quadrupole fields. Pulsed power technique is also adopted to drive the RF power tubes. Both magnet and RF systems have been developed and being extensively studied. Technological sides of both systems will be treated in details as well as the computational beam behaviors in this pulse synchrotron.

| THPLT073 | Numerical Methods for the Orbit Control at the KEK 12 GeV PS | laser, antiproton, gun, cyclotron | 2661 | ||
|
At the KEK 12GeV-PS main ring, when the least square method is applied to correct whole beam orbit all at once, it remains unacceptable beam loss and it is necessary to adjust the local positions of the beam orbit by hands with the beam loss monitors until the beam loss is suppressed under an acceptable level. However, the orbit does not realize the minimum-loss condition. In this paper, a new method is proposed. It focuses a fact that the beam loss distribution depends on the shape of the beam orbit and formulates this relationship to a functional approximation by using a nural network algorithm. Then, solving an optimization problem for generated network system, data of the beam shape which is more suitable for the beam loss of the accelerator can be obtained. The description of the system construction and experimental results are presented.

| THPLT074 | The Beam Loss Monitor System of the J-parc LINAC, 3 GEV RCS and 50 GEV MR | laser, antiproton, gun, cyclotron | 2664 | ||
|
The high intensity beam accelerator complex itself requires the significant progress of design study and hardware R&D. Operational beam intensity should be limited by the beam loss and activation level of the equipment. Once the beam loss exceeds a criterion at outer environment, beam intensity has to be decreased to prevent the further activation. In order to investigate loss mechanism and suppress the beam loss, a beam loss monitor system have been developed for the J-PARC linac, 3 GeV RCS and 50GeV MR. The system will be essential component for beam commissioning, tuning and machine protection in high intensity beam accelerators. The loss monitor system is composed of scintillator, argon-methane/3He gas filled proportional counter and air filled coaxial cable ionization chamber, which detect g-ray, neutron and charged particles induced by lost particle. It is necessary to measure wide dynamic range of loss intensity for various beam energies. To prevent the activation and heat load by intense beam loss, fast time response of loss signals is required. In this paper, construction and application of loss monitor system are described in detail. Preliminary result of demonstration in the KEK-PS and calibration with cobalt 60 g-ray radiation source are also discussed.

| THPLT076 | Compact X-band (11.424 Ghz) Linac for Cancer Therapy | laser, antiproton, gun, cyclotron | 2667 | ||

Since most of medical linacs use S-band frequency, so far, such linacs cannot fit to modern advanced treatment techniques such as Tomotherapy and Stereotactic radiotherapy, which allows physicians to locate the tumor position during treatment time and enable for beam modification based on the real time analysis. Therefore, a new generation of electron linac with the compact size, higher power, higher gradient that can supply the advanced requirements of cancer treatment has been become necessary. X-band frequencies range is one of the suitable frequencies range for design such linacs. In this paper we will describe the possible design of a X-band (11.424 GHz) medical linac with side-coupled standing wave structure which understudying in NERL, The University of Tokyo. We aim to couple the therapy machine to the Compton scattering tunable monochromatic X-ray inspection device to realize the simultaneous inspection/therapy. Detailed design and numerical results are presented.

| THPLT077 | MPI Parallel Computation of Wake Fields by Using Time Domain Boundary Element Method | laser, antiproton, gun, simulation | 2670 | ||
|
This paper presents wake field and wake potential calculation by using the Time Domain Boundary Element Method (TDBEM) on the MPI parallel computation system. The TDBEM is based on the electric field integral equation (EFIE) and the electric field integral equation (MFIE) in time domain. In wake field simulation, an important advantage of these equations is that electromagnetic fields in an accelerator cavity are explicitly expressed as a sum of charged particle self-fields and wake fields in time domain. On the other hand, the TDBEM has serious difficulties in practical numerical simulation, such as numerical instabilities, huge memory requirements, and heavy calculation cost. However, recent remarkable progress of computer performance makes the TDBEM possible to be used in practical simulations. According to these backgrounds, we apply the TDBEM to wake field simulation in the MPI parallel computer system. Simulation results are compared with that of a conventional method, the Finite Integration Techniques (FIT), and good agreements are shown.

| THPLT080 | Simulation Study of the Beam Loading Effect in an RF Gun | laser, antiproton, gun, booster | 2679 | ||
|
Because of simple structure and apparatus, a thermionic rf gun has been considered to be employed in a new pre-injector for the future synchrotron radiation facility at Tohoku University. A 3-D beam simulation code for the rf gun using a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method to solve Maxwell's equations has been developed. In the rf gun, especially in case of the high beam current, electromagnetic fields induced by the electron beam are considered to affect beam characteristics such as beam emittance and energy spread. In the FDTD method, because the Maxwell?s equations are able to be solved including the term of current density of the charge, the electromagnetic fields produced by both the external rf power and the electron beam can be anticipated. Using the simulation code, beam loading effects on the characteristics of the electron beam extracted from the rf gun is investigated.
