  We discuss a method that may be used to measure the focusing properties of a magnet. This method may prove valuable when applied to non-conventional magnets that deviate from the usual dipole magnets or other multipole magnets which are commonly used in a synchrotron. In this category of non-conventional magnets, fall special magnets, which come under the name Snakes. Such magnets are being used in synchrotron accelerators[*,**] to introduce artificial spin resonances to help overcome the intrinsic and/or imperfection spin resonances. This method of measuring the focusing properties of a magnet requires the use of low energy and high rigidity heavy-ions which may be obtained from the BNL Tandem accelerator.In brief the method consists on, injecting low emittance beamlets of lightly stripped heavy ions into a magnet and measuring the coordinates, of these narrowbeamlets, at the entrance and exit of the magnet.From the measurement of these coordinates of the narrowbeamlets we can deduce information on the R matrix and higher order matrix elements that define the focusing properties of the magnet.

  The mechanism of electron multipacting in long bunched proton machine has been quantitatively described by the electron energy gain and electron motion. Some important parameters related to electron multipacting are investigated in detail. It is proved that multipacting is sensitive to beam intensity, longitudinal beam profile shape and transverse beam size. Agreement is achieved among our analysis, simulation and experiment.  
 
MOPLT177 Stochastic Cooling Power Requirements gun, vacuum, electron, beamloading 941
 
  • J. Wei, M. Blaskiewicz, J.M. Brennan
    BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
  A practical obstacle for stochastic cooling in high-energy colliders is the large amount of power needed for the cooling system. This paper discusses the cooling power needed for the longitudinal cooling process. Based on the coasting-beam Fokker-Planck equation, we analytically derived the optimum cooling rate and cooling power for a beam of uniform distribution and a cooling system of linear gain function. The results indicate that the usual back-of-envelope formula over-estimated the cooling power by a factor of the mixing factor $M$. On the other hand, the scaling laws derived from the coasting-beam Fokker-Planck approach agree with those derived from the bunched-beam Fokker-Planck approach if the peak beam intensity is used as the effective coasting-beam intensity. A longitudinal stochastic cooling system of 4 – 8 GHz bandwidth in RHIC can effectively counteract intrabeam scattering, preventing the beam from escaping the RF bucket becoming debunched around the ring.  
 
MOPLT178 RHIC Pressure Rise gun, vacuum, ion, beamloading 944

  Beam induced pressure rise remains an intensity limit at the RHIC for both heavy ion and polarized proton operations. The beam injection pressure rise at warm sections has been diagnosed due to electron cloud effect. In addition, pressure rise of heavy ion operation at the beam transition has caused experiment background problem in deuteron-gold run, and it is expected to take place in gold-gold run at high intensities. This type of pressure rise is related to beam momentum spread, and the electron cloud seems not dominant. Extensive approaches for both diagnosis and looking-for-remedies are undergoing in the current gold operation, RUN 4. Results of beam scrubbing, NEG pipe in RHIC ring, beam scraping test of ion desorption, beam momentum effect at the transition, beam gap effect, solenoid effect, and NEG pipe ion desorption test stand will be presented.  
 
MOPLT179 Beam Scrubbing for RHIC Polarized Proton Opearation gun, vacuum, ion, proton 947
 
  • S.Y. Zhang, W. Fischer, H. Huang, T. Roser
    BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
  One of the intensity limiting factor of RHIC polarized proton beam is the electron cloud induced pressure rise. During the 2003 polarized proton run, a beam scrubbing study was performed. Actual beam scrubbing time was much less than the planned 2 hours. However, a non-trivial beam scrubbing effect was observed not only in the locations with highest pressure rise, but also in most of the single beam straight sections. This not only confirmed that beam scrubbing is indeed a countermeasure to the electron cloud, but also showed the feasibility of applying beam scrubbing in RHIC proton beam operation to allow for higher beam intensities. In this article, the results will be reported.  
 
TUXCH01 Review of ISOL-type Radioactive Beam Facilities gun, vacuum, ion, beamloading 45
 
  • M. Lindroos
    CERN, Geneva
  The ISOL technique was invented in Copenhagen over 50 years ago and eventually migrated to CERN where a suitable proton drive beam was available at the Syncho-Cyclotron. The quick spread of the technique from CERN to many other laboratories has resulted in a large user community, which has assured the continued development of the method, physics in the front-line of fundamental research and the application of the method to many applied sciences. The technique is today established as one of the main techniques for on-line isotope production of high intensity and high quality beams. The thick targets used allows the production of unmatched high intensity radioactive beams. The fact that the ions are produced at rest makes it ideally suitable for low energy experiments and for post acceleration using well established accelerator techniques. The many different versions of the technique will be discussed and the many facilities spread all over the world will be reviewed. The major developments at the existing facilities and the challenges encountered will be presented. Finally, the possibility of using the resulting high intensity beams for the production of intense neutrino beams will be briefly discussed.

  The acceleration or cooling of particles with lasers has been the subject of growing interest over the last years. Because of the huge difference in mass, the acceleration of ions was so far limited to thermal expansion from laser plasmas, driven by the hot electron temperature. In recent years, due to the development of short-pulse ultra-intense lasers, the manipulation of ions has now become possible. Especially the generation of high quality, intense ion beams from laser solid interaction has attracted large attention and is investigated at many laboratories world-wide. For the first time, intense, directed, low emittance beams of ions have been observed, having several MeV of particle energy right from the source. A wealth of applications including next generation ion sources can be envisioned. The talk will give an overview of the status of laser cooling and ion acceleration including the last experimental results. In addition, an overview of the current and future research activities will be presented.

  Nowadays, undulators are essential devices for synchrotron radiation (SR) facilities since they generate a quasi-monochromatic radiation with various features, high brightness , high energy and special polarization characteristics. Particularly, demands for high-energy radiation in the X-ray region have become much stronger in many research fields. Accordingly, a short-period undulator design has been developed, because they increase the number of periods in a unit undulator length and as a consequence, they generate brilliant synchrotron radiation. Also, short undulator periodicity enables emission of high-energy photons, and it opens the way for X-ray beamline operation in medium size synchrotron radiation facilities, such as SLS, NSLS, PLS, CLS, ALS, SOLEIL, DIAMOND, SPEAR-III and so on. From the same reason, a short-period undulator is very attractive for SASE-FEL or ERL facilities, since it lowers the electron beam energy necessary for X-ray operation. As a result this design makes a whole facility design compact and economic. In the talk, I will review the status of the development on short-period undulators of various types (in-vacuum, superconducting and cryogenic types) and describe the future direction.

TUYBCH02 Technological Challenges for High Brightness Photo-injectors gun, radiation, undulator, laser 64
 
  • G. Suberlucq
    CERN, Geneva
  Many applications, from linear colliders to free-electron lasers, passing through light sources and many other electron sources, require high brightness electron beams, usually produced by photo-injectors. Because certain parameters of these applications differ by several orders of magnitude, various solutions were implemented for the design and construction of the three main parts of the photo-injectors: lasers, photocathodes and guns. This paper summarizes the different requirements, how they lead to technological challenges and how R&D programs try to overcome these challenges. Some examples of state-of-the-art parts are presented.

TUZACH01 Positron Source Options for Linear Colliders gun, positron, synchrotron, acceleration 69
 
  • K. Floettmann
    DESY, Hamburg
  Linear colliders require sources delivering particle intensities much higher than sources for storage rings and even several orders of magnitude larger than the SLC positron source, the highest intensity positron source operated so far. A fundamental limitation for the intensity of a positron source is set by the thermal stress in the target. Besides improvements of conventional positron sources, i.e. sources where an electron beam creates electron position pairs in an electromagnetic cascade, new concepts based on the direct conversion of gamma radiation offer possibilities for increased particle intensities. In these sources the hard gamma radiation has to be produced either in an undulator or by backscattering of laser light off an electron beam. An additional advantage of gamma radiation based sources is the possibility to produce polarized positrons. The talk will give an overview of the developments of high intensity unpolarized and polarized positron sources for linear colliders.

TUZACH02 Ultra-high Gradient Compact Accelerator Developments gun, injection, positron, plasma 74
 
  • G.J.H. Brussaard, M.J. Van der Wiel
    TUE, Eindhoven
  Continued development of relatively compact, although not quite 'table-top', lasers with peak powers in the range up to 100 TW has enabled laser-plasma-based acceleration experiments with amazing gradients of up to 1 TV/m. In order to usefully apply such gradients to 'controlled' acceleration, various hurdles need to be overcome. The main one is that of well-synchronized injection into a sub-mm to micron wavelength plasma wave. The talk will describe the various physics regimes of laser wakefield acceleration, and the two classes of experiments being pursued. One is that of atmospheric-density plasmas, non-linear wakefields with extreme gradients (hundreds of GV/m)and 'internal injection' of few-femtosecond electron bunches. A second class involves modest-density plasmas,wakefields of order 1 GV/m and external injection of (sub)-ps bunches. The state-of-the-art of these experiments will be covered, including the progress on plasma waveguiding of TW pulses over many diffraction lengths. The talk will also provide an outlook for the coming few years. This part includes proposed schemes for improvements in the area of injection, such as 'all-optical' injection and injection based on GV/m 'pulsed-DC' photoguns.

TUZBCH01 Beam Quality Preservation in the CERN PS-SPS Complex gun, positron, plasma, synchrotron 78
 
  • G. Arduini
    CERN, Geneva
  The LHC will require beams of unprecedented transverse and longitudinal brightness. Their production imposes tight constraints on the emittance growth in each element of the LHC injector chain, namely the PS-SPS Accelerator Complex. The problems encountered at the different stages of the acceleration in the complex span a wide range of topics, such as injection matching, RF gymnastics, space charge, transverse and longitudinal single- and coupled-bunch instabilities, and electron cloud effects. The measurement techniques developed and applied to identify and study the various sources of emittance dilution to the high precision required for the LHC beams and the solutions found to control such phenomena are illustrated.

TUZBCH02 Beam Dynamics Challenges for Future Circular Colliders gun, positron, plasma, synchrotron 83
 
  • F. Zimmermann
    CERN, Geneva
  The luminosity of circular colliders rises with the beam intensity, until some limit is encountered, mostly due to head-on and long-range beam-beam interaction, due to electron cloud, or due to conventional impedance sources. These limitations can be alleviated, if not overcome, by a proper choice of beam parameters and by dedicated compensation schemes. Examples include the alternating crossing at several interaction points, electromagnetic wires, super-bunches, electron lenses, clearing electrodes, and nonlinear collimation. I illustrate the benefit from such mitigating measures for the Tevatron, the LHC, the LHC Upgrade, the VLHC, the super e+e- factories, or other projects, and I describe related research efforts at FNAL, KEK, BNL and CERN.

TUXLH01 Machine Protection Issues and Strategies for the LHC gun, positron, plasma, synchrotron 88
 
  • R. Schmidt, J. Wenninger
    CERN, Geneva
  For nominal beam parameters at 7 TeV/c, each of the two LHC proton beams has a stored energy of 350 MJ threatening to damage accelerator equipment in case of uncontrolled beam loss. Since the beam dump blocks are the only element of the LHC that can withstand the impact of the full beam, it is essential for the protection of the LHC that the beams are properly extracted onto the dump blocks in case of emergency. The time constants for failures leading to beam loss extend from 100 microseconds to few seconds. Several protection systems are designed to ensure safe operation, such as beam instrumentation, collimators and absorbers, and magnet protection. Failures must be detected at a sufficiently early stage and transmitted to the beam interlock system that triggers the beam dumping system. The strategy for the protection of the LHC will be illustrated starting from some typical failures.

TUXLH02 HERA Performance Upgrade: Achievements and Plans for the Future gun, positron, plasma, luminosity 93
 
  • M.G. Minty
    DESY, Hamburg
  Having surpassed the design luminosity of 1.5 x 1031/cm2s already in 1997, an ambitious upgrade of the HERA proton-lepton collider was undertaken in 2000/2001 to provide both higher luminosity and longitudinally polarized lepton beams in the colliding beam experiments, H1 and ZEUS, and for the internal gas target experiment, HERMES. Routine operation following the upgrade has commenced. Initially experimental backgrounds limited the total beam currents so the number of colliding bunches was reduced while maintaining high single-bunch beam currents. With nominal, pre-upgrade, bunch currents the measured specific luminosity is 2.5 times higher than before, however about 15% smaller than design. Following modifications to alleviate the high backgrounds in 2003, HERA is now again operating with the design number of bunches and the total beam currents are being steadily increased. With only 40% of the total design current, peak luminosities of 2.5 x 1031/cm2s have been demonstrated with a longitudinal polarization of >40%. In this presentation the experiences from the upgrade commissioning will be reviewed. Plans for improvement and pronections for the future will be described.

  • T. Satogata
    BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
  RHIC is the first hadron collider consisting of two independent rings. It is designed to operate over a wide range of beam energies and species, including polarized protons, heavy ions, and asymmetric beam collisions. RHIC has produced physics data at four experiments since 1999 in runs that include gold-on-gold collisions at design beam energy (100 GeV/u), high-energy polarized proton-proton collisions (100 GeV on 100 GeV), and deuteron-gold collisions (100 GeV/u). Recent machine performance will be reviewed for high-luminosity gold-gold operations and polarized proton operations, including causes and solutions for known operational limits. Plans and progress for luminosity and polarization improvements, electron cooling, and the electron-ion collider eRHIC will be discussed.

TUYLH02 Low and Medium Energy Beam Acceleration in High Intensity Linacs gun, positron, plasma, synchrotron 108
 
  • J. Stovall
    LANL, Los Alamos, New Mexico
  In the past two years accelerator builders have published papers describing mature designs of no fewer than 7 new high-performance proton linacs. These machines are typically designed to deliver multi-megawatt beams for applications in pure and applied research. All of these machines use the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linac for the first stage of acceleration to reach an energy of a few MeV. In essentially all cases, superconducting elliptical cavities have been adopted as the technology of choice for acceleration above ~100 MeV. Between the RFQ and the high-energy elliptical cavities, designers have proposed no fewer than 6 different types of accelerating structures. In many cases these structures are reaching maturity as a result of active development programs. In this paper, we review the design architectures of the ?low and medium energy? portions of these machines emphasizing recent experience and developments applicable to high-current linac designs.

TUYLH03 Challenges facing the Generation of MW Proton Beams using Rapid Cycling Synchrotrons gun, positron, plasma, radiation 113
 
  • Y. Irie
    KEK, Ibaraki
  The MW proton source using rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) has many challenging aspects, such as (1) large aperture magnets and much higher RF voltages per turn due to a low energy injection and a large and rapid swing of the magnetic field, (2) field tracking between many magnet-families under slightly saturated conditions, (3) RF trapping with fundamental and higher harmonic cavities, (4) H- charge stripping foil, (5) large acceptance injection and extraction straights, (6) beam loss collection, and (7) beam instabilities. These are discussed in details mainly on the basis of the J-PARC 3GeV RCS, which is under construction in Japan. Issues (3) to (7) are common with another scheme of MW spallation neutron source, i.e. full-energy linac + accumulator ring. Comparisons with the SNS design in the US are then made. Reliability/availability of these machines is very important theme which finally determines the successful operations. From the experiences in the existing machines, we will discuss the factors necessary toward the better performance.

  The rf control system for the ISAC II superconducting cavities is a hybrid analogue/digital design which has undergone several iterations in the course of its development. In the current design, the cavity operates in a self-excited feedback loop, while phase locked loops are used to achieve frequency and phase stability. Digital signal processors are used to provide amplitude and phase regulation, as well as mechanical cavity tuning control. The most recent version also allows for the rapid implementation of operating firmware and software changes, which can be done remotely, if the need arises. This paper describes the RF control system and the experience gained in operating this system with a four-cavity test facility.  
 
TUPKF003 Industrial Production of the Eight Normal-conducting 200 MHz ACN Cavities for the LHC gun, positron, plasma, beamloading 956

    CERN, Geneva
  The LHC-ACN RF system consists of 8 normal-conducting cavities and is designed to reduce beam losses in the LHC when injecting beams with longitudinal emittance > 0.7 eVs from the CERN SPS. The cavity design took into account the possibility of recuperating all the "ancillary" equipment (tuners, fundamental mode damper, High Order Mode (HOM) couplers) from the old CERN SPS 200MHz system. The cavities are made from OFE copper. The original ingots, procured in Austria, have been forged and pre-formed by pressing them with a 20 tons press, following a procedure defined and adapted for the unusual dimensions of these pieces. The raw components thus obtained were machined and then welded together with an electron beam. In order to get a good repeatability of the fundamental mode frequency across the eight cavities, a procedure has been established with the contractor for the final machining and welding leading to a spread in frequencies below ±20 kHz (< 0.01%). The cavities will be installed in the LHC when losses at high intensities become significant. In the meantime they are undergoing a surface treatment to clean the RF surface and will be stored.

    AFT, Backnang
  In a high energy and high power superconducting proton linac, it is more economical to drive several cavities with a single high power transmitter rather than to use one transmitter per cavity. This option has however the disadvantage of not permitting to individually control each cavity, which potentially leads to instabilities. Provided that it can be built at a reasonable cost, a fast phase & amplitude modulator inserted into each cavity feeder line can provide the necessary control capability. A prototype of such a device has been built, based on two fast and compact high power RF phase-shifters, magnetically biased by external coils. The design is described, together with the results obtained at high and low power levels.

  All currently operating synchrotron light sources use klystron amplifiers to generate the RF power for the accelerator cavities. In TV broadcasting systems on the other hand, Inductive Output Tubes (IOT)are replacing the classical klystron based systems in all new high power UHF transmitters. The Diamond Light Source will be the first synchrotron to be operated using IOTs. For each accelerating cavity a total of four IOTs will be combined with a waveguide combiner to achieve the RF power requirement of 300 kW at 500 MHz. All IOTs will be supplied from a common crowbarless high voltage power supply. Three such systems will be installed starting in October 2004. This paper gives an overview of the design of the amplifiers, including the first test results from the factory commissioning.

  BESSY has recently constructed the HoBiCaT cryogenic test facility for superconducting TESLA cavity units, including all ancillary devices (helium tank, input coupler, tuner, magnetic shielding). It is designed to house two such units in a configuration similar to that envisaged for the superconducting CW linac of the BESSY FEL. These units are presently being fabricated, prepared and assembled by industry. HoBiCaT will be used to address many of the issues that must be considered prior to finalizing the design of the proposed linac. Rapid turn-around-tests permit the investigation of items such as RF regulation, microphonic detuning and cryogenic parameters/achievable pressure stability. These test will also serve as the first step towards qualifying the industrial production of assembled cavity units. The commissioning of HoBiCaT is scheduled for Spring 2004 and the current status is presented here.  
 
TUPKF009 RF Control of the Superconducting Linac for the BESSY FEL gun, positron, plasma, beamloading 973
 
  • J. Knobloch, A. Neumann
    BESSY GmbH, Berlin
  In the BESSY-FEL superconducting linac, precise RF control of the cavities' voltage is imperative to maintain a bunch-to-bunch time jitter of less than 50 fs for synchronization in the HGHG section. The average beam loading is less than 1.5 kW/m and the cavity bandwidth is small so that high-gain RF feedback is required. Noise, in particular microphonic detuning, strongly impact the achievable level of control. Presented here are simulations of the cavity-feedback system, taking into account beam loading and noise sources such as measurement noise, microphonics and injection jitter. These simulations are used to estimate the resultant time and energy jitter of the bunches as they enter the HGHG section of the BESSY FEL.

  The proposed BESSY FEL uses a CW superconducting driver linac to provide acceleration up to 2.3 GeV. Its design is based on well-established TESLA technology, originally intended for heat loads of order 1 W/m at 2.0 K. CW operation increases this load to levels of order 15 W/m at 1.8 K for a total heat load of 3 kW at 2.3 GeV (given conservative assumptions for the attainable Q-factor). Presented here is an analysis of the cryogenic layout, including two-phase-flow simulations of the 1.8-K helium which help identify the changes needed for reliable CW operation. A modified ‘‘CW'' module and helium distribution scheme is proposed.

  The problem of very fast higher order mode (HOM) suppression, in the order of 1ns, was investigated for a planar 30GHz accelerating structure. Both, damping and detuning were considered. A sufficient suppression could be achieved by damping waveguides in every cell in vertical and in horizontal direction. Finally, a scaled-up 10GHz model was built. It is a 35 cm long aluminum structure, which was machined by high-precision milling. In order to reduce the surface gradient on the input/output coupling irises a symmetrical RF coupler was developed. The HOM damping is accomplished by coupling six damping waveguides to each accelerating cell. The waveguides are loaded by a low resitivity RF load. The whole structure with waveguides and loads was optimized by means of the computer code GdfidL. The paper gives the design criteria and the results of s-parameter and bead-pull measurements.  
 
TUPKF013 Studies on Maximum RF Voltages in Ferrite-tuned Accelerating Cavities gun, positron, damping, plasma 985
 
  • K. Kaspar, H.G. Koenig, T. Winnefeld
    GSI, Darmstadt
  The GSI SIS100 project requires very high accelerating voltages. With ferrite-tuned synchrotron cavities the gap voltage is often strongly limited by the Q-loss effect appearing at medium dc bias fields. At low bias fields, considerably higher voltages can be reached, however. The maximum usable amplitudes over the bias region have been studied. At zero bias, the ferrites could be driven to more than a factor 3 above the Q-loss limit. Except overheating, no other problems appeared. With increasing bias, the maximum amplitudes decrease continuously to the Q-loss level. In this fall-off region there is still a tuning factor up to 2.5 available, with rf flux densities by at least a factor 2 above the Q-loss level. Measurements on small samples of the ferrite material used in the GSI cavities could be verified very well in a full-size cavity, for the most part. The tests were mainly limited by the available anode voltage and the fear of damaging the cavity. It seems possible, to generalize the main results for other ferrite materials, also. Based on the results, a possible scenario for the SIS100 rf system is given. Additionally, the results lead to an alternative cavity design for higher voltages, which is described as well.  
 
TUPKF014 Electromagnetic Design of New RF Power Couplers for the S-DALINAC gun, positron, damping, plasma 988

  New rf power couplers for the Superconducting Darmstadt Linear Accelerator (S-DALINAC) injector have to be designed to transfer rf power up to 2 kW to the electron beam. This allows injector operation at beam currents from 0.15 mA to 0.2 mA and electron energies up to 14 MeV. The new couplers should possibly provide a variable external Q in the range from 5·106 to 3·109 and a small transverse kick. A variable coupling is needed to allow for perfect matching in the case of beam loading and when no beam is present, respectively. The second operation stage is used for cavity diagnostics. The asymmetric field distribution of the couplers generates emittance growth of the electron beam and therefore the transverse kick has to be minimized. Electromagnetic simulations are applied to investigate different coupler designs and to localize possible problems at an early stage. Cavity external Q and transverse kick can be calculated from 3D electromagnetic eigenmode solutions. The present coaxial-coaxial input couplers at the S-DALINAC are limited to power operation below 500 W under full reflection. Therefore, to reach power operation up to 2 kW two possible new realizations of low-kick waveguide couplers for the S-DALINAC injector are presented, namely a single-waveguide and a twin-waveguide coupler.

  H-mode cavities (IH-DTL, IH-RFQ, 4-Vane-RFQ) have been developed and operated successfully during the last decades for ion acceleration. At the IAP Frankfurt a new type of H-mode cavity, the CH-structure is under development. This multi cell drift tube cavity is operated in the TE21- mode. Due to its mechanical rigidity, room temperature as well as superconducting versions can be realized. Superconducting CH-structures might be used especially for cw operated linacs in nuclear research facilites and applied research projects like XADS or IFMIF. A superconducting 352 MHz CH-structure (beta=0.1) with 19 gaps will be available for first tests in 2004. We present the status of the cavity and of the new cryo laboratory in Frankfurt.

  • V. Ayvazyan, S. Simrock
    DESY, Hamburg
  Dynamic detuning of the superconducting rf cavities due to Lorentz force induced mechanical excitation is a critical concern since the magnitude can approach the cavity bandwidth and require significant additional rf power for field control. In this paper, the influence of high accelerating fields on the resonance frequency in superconducting TESLA cavities is discussed. Cavities at the TESLA Test Facility have been operated at the design operating gradient close to 25 MV/m. It is shown that Lorentz force detuning constant factors are different for different cavities, significant spread have been observed.

  • A.S. Setty

  A 100 MeV electron linac is under construction, in order to inject into the booster synchrotron of SOLEIL. The linac is designed to work according to two operation modes : a short pulse mode (2 ns - 0,5 nC) and a long pulse mode (300 ns - 8 nC). Calculation of the beam dynamics, using our selfmade code PRODYN, has been carried out from the gun to the end of the linac. Special care has been taken on the gun design to avoid an overfocusing outcoming beam in order to obtain a final low emittance. Calculations results are given.

  • S. Berry, C.Z. Antoine, M. Desmons
    CEA/DSM/DAPNIA, Gif-sur-Yvette
  It has been demonstrated recently that local magnetic field enhancement can originate from roughness (e.g. steps at grain boundaries). We are willing to investigate if the quench observed in superconducting niobium cavities can be related to such morphological defects. We recently developed two kinds of tool. 1) A replica technique that allows to reproduce the internal surface of cavities (non destructive testing). 2) A morphological analysis tool. Classical roughness measurements are not adapted to determine local curvature radius.This paper describes a new topological approach aiming at a better characterization of the surface morphology. We also present results of this technique applied to replica taken from cavities at the quench site.

  Spoke cavities studies leaded by IPN-Orsay, for both XADS and EURISOL projects, are fully integrated within the 5th and 6th European Framework Programs. During 2003, several tests have been performed on the first b035 spoke cavity prototype. They have demonstrated the great potential of this type of cavity in term of RF performances (Eacc max=12.5 MV/m at T=4.2 K) and mechanical behavior (very low sensitivity to errors fabrication, good stiffness…). Following the upgrade of our cryogenic facility, we have tested, this spring, the cavity at 2 K. These new results will be presented in this paper. In parallel, the fabrication of a new spoke cavity (2-gap, 352 MHz, b015) has begun in January. While keeping the same geometry than that of the b035 cavity, we carried out significant changes on the coupler port and stiffening system designs. We report here in particular, RF calculations concerning the new location of the coupler port (in order to minimize losses due to magnetic field) and also, mechanical calculations about the new stiffening ring. Finally, we will present the preliminary thought on modular cryomodule which are based on the ?short? cryomodule concept used with the Quarter Wave Resonators for the SPIRAL-2 project.

  Due to the high input power required to feed a resonant cavity, the RF input coupler is a critical component for the reliability of an RF system. The 500 MHz RF input coupler for the ELETTRA cavities was specified for 150 kW input power. It is important to investigate the performance limits of the coupler in view of increasing RF power requirements. The coupler's maximum peak field and dissipation versus the input power have been studied by means of the numerical simulator HFSS. Possible improvements to the existing design have been investigated. The optimization has to take into consideration the following requirements: convenient power transmission efficiency, RF matching, suitable coupling coefficient, negligible perturbation on cavity voltage, moderate operating temperature and stress.

  Since July 2003 a superconducting third harmonic cavity has been in routine operation at ELETTRA. When the cavity is activated the stored electron bunches are lengthened by about a factor of three. The related longitudinal Landau damping has allowed first time operation at 320 mA, 2.0 GeV with a beam completely free of longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities. With the cavity active the lifetime at 320 mA, 2.0 GeV is three times the theoretical value for nominal bunch length. The increase in beam stability and lifetime contributed significantly to enhance the brightness and the integrated flux of the source. We will further discuss the operating experience with the superconducting cavity and the cryogenic system, analyzing the impact of the new system on machine operation and uptime. Finally we will also report on the characterization of the cavity performance for different filling patterns of the storage ring and relate the results to preliminary beam-cavity interaction studies.

  The interest in low- and medium- beta superconducting cavities is presently focused to future high intensity proton, deuteron and heavy ion linacs. A particular application is acceleration of cw and pulsed beams of variable q/A, which requires cavities with a small number of gaps and excellent mechanical stability. We have designed and constructed a 2 gap, 352 MHz SC half wave cavity aiming to similar characteristics and fitting the requirements of the intermediate-beta section of the LNL-SPES driver. The status of the project and the first test results will be presented.

  We have built a 161 MHz, b=0.16 superconducting Quarter Wave Resonator with steering correction for the low beta section of RIA. This bulk niobium, double wall cavity, compatible with both separate vacuum between beam line and cryostats or unified one, was designed in collaboration between MSU-NSCL and LNL. The design is suitable for extension to other frequencies, e.g. to obtain the 80 MHz, beta=0.085 cavity required in RIA. The shaped drift tube allows correction of the residual QWR steering that can cause emittance growth especially in light ions; this could make this resonator a good alternative to Half-Wave resonators in high intensity proton-deuteron linacs, like the SPES injector project at LNL. First test results will be presented.

All the 52 cavities are now in operation showing a large increase in the average accelerating field, which exceeds 4.5 MV/m (21 MV/m pick electrical surface field). The performance of renewed resonators has been increasing with time reaching 6MV/m in the last produced units. The increase in ALPI performance and the advantage in conditioning and setting time obtained by the upgrading process will be reported.

  Thin niobium film coated copper RF cavities are an interesting possible alternative to bulk-Nb cavities since copper is much cheaper than niobium, it has higher thermal conductivity and a better mechanical stability. Unfortunately, the observed degradation of the quality factor with increased cavity voltage of sputtered accelerating cavities restricts their usage in future large linear accelerators needing gradients higher than 15MV/m. We are developing an alternate deposition technology, based on a cathodic arc system working in UHV conditions. Its main advantages compared to standard sputtering are the ionized state of the evaporated material, the absence of gases to sustain the discharge, the much higher energy of atoms reaching the substrate surface and the possibility of higher deposition rates. To ignite the arc we use a Nd-YAG pulsed laser focused on the cathode surface that provides a reliable and ultraclean trigger. Recent results on the characterization of niobium film samples produced under different conditions are presented showing that the technique can produce bulk-like films suitable for RF superconducting applications.

  The non-resonant accelerating system for the KEK-PS booster accelerator has been constructed. The system has been operating since October 2003 without trouble. The accelerating gap in the system is loaded with magnetic cores of high permeability. The cores produce high resistive impedance at the gap. The power dissipated in the cores amounts to 50kW at 16kV accelerating voltage. It is removed by forced-air cooling system. At the last operation of the accelerator, with the help of new COD-correction system, the average beam intensity of the booster increased to 2.6E+12ppp, which is 30% higher than before.

  • S. Ninomiya, K. Satoh, H. Someya, M. Toda

  The COD correction is performed by using new driving system of back-leg windings. Two back-leg coils of the separate magnets are connected to make a closed circuit in which the induced voltages of the two magnets have opposite phases to each other. When the current source is inserted into the closed loop, the current drives the two magnets with opposite polarities. If the pair of magnets is properly selected, the current effectively corrects the orbit distortion. The selection rule of the pair is as follows; one is the magnet at the maximum distortion and the second magnet is that separated with the betatron phase of -90deg. The correction system at the KEK-PS Booster reduced the COD to less than 1/5 of that without correction, and increased the capture efficiency. The average beam intensity of our Booster is increased from 2E+12 to 2.6E+12ppp.

  In the ISIS facility based at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the UK, second target station project was funded, which requires to increase the current intensity by 1.5-times (300 micro-A). Four 2nd harmonic RF cavities will be installed in the ISIS synchrotron in order to increase the trapping efficiency, and to mitigate the space charge detuning. A very low output-impedance RF system for the 2nd harmonic cavity has been developed by the collaboration between RAL, Argonne National Laboratory (US) and KEK (Japan). The system comprises the 240 kW triode as a final amplifier with plate-to-grid feedback path. The measured output-impedance was less than 30 ohms over the frequency range of 2.7 - 6.2 MHz, which agreed well with calculations. High power test was also performed under frequency swept mode at 50 Hz repetition. The operation was almost stable, and more than 12 kVpp was obtained as maximum. The voltage gain of the final amplifier was 25 - 30, which decreased gradually with frequency due to decreasing input-impedance of triode. The beam test is planned at ISIS in near future.

  The rf system has been developed for the compact medical proton synchrotron. The rf system will be operated in pulse mode with the fundamental rf frequency sweeping from 1.6 to 15 MHz during the acceleration time of 5 ms. The required rf cavity voltage is a function of acceleration time too, with the voltage of fundamental varying from 13 to 6 kV. Besides, high order harmonics are also considered to apply to the rf system, and the cavity peak voltage varying from 20 to 9 kV during the acceleration time is expected. The performance of the rf system is being studied and will be presented.

  We present a new 500 MHz HOM (Higher-Order Modes) damped cavity for high brilliance synchrotron radiation sources. The design is based on the damped cavity, which is operated at the Photon Factory storage ring in KEK. The PF cavity has a large hole beam duct (140 mm in diameter), a part of which is made of a silicon carbide (SiC) microwave absorber. The new cavity, proposed in this paper, has parallel-plate radial transmission lines on the beam duct instead of the SiC beam duct. The outer end of the radial line is terminated by SiC absorbers. The HOMs, extracted from the center part of the cavity through the beam duct, propagate in the radial line and are dissipated in the absorber. The accelerating mode is not affected by the radial line damper since the frequency is sufficiently below the cutoff of the 140-mm beam duct. In this paper, optimized design of the radial line damper and damping properties for HOMs are described in detail.

  There are four RF stations to supply the energy to electron at the storage ring of the Pohang Light Source(PLS). From the beginning of the operation of RF system, 500MHz 60kW(CW) klystrons have been operated. As the operation time of the tubes are increased, their performances are decreased. Therefore three 60kW tubes were replaced with the same model and two 75kW klystrons were replaced with 60 kW klystrons so far. Nowadays two 75 kW and two 60 kW klystrons are operated in the RF system of PLS. Our experiences of the klystron operation and their general performance are described in this paper.

A quasi-optic two-mirror transmission line is used between the FEM oscillator and test cavity. An oversized FEM output waveguide based on the wavebeam transformation (Talbot effect) provides the optimal transverse distribution of the radiation, eliminates the output window breakdown and decrease the influence of the reflected wave on the FEM oscillator regime.

  The latest results from an experimental waveguide section, as well as simulations from a model of electron multipacting using the MAGIC PIC code, are discussed. Tests were carried out on a new waveguide section that included enhanced diagnostics and the possibility of changing surface materials and temperature. Those tests evaluated grooves, ridges and surface coatings, such as TiN and a TiZrV NEG coating, as methods of multipactor suppression. The conclusion remains that the most effective method to achieve complete multipactor suppression remains the application of a static magnetic bias of approximately 10G. The experiments also provided good data sets that can be used to verify the accuracy of simulations. Simulations of the waveguide multipacting have been carried out and have offered better understanding of electronic behaviour.  
 
TUPKF049 Combining Cavity for RF Power Sources: Computer Simulation and Low Power Model positron, plasma, impedance, booster 1060
 
  • E. Wooldridge, S.C. Appleton, B. Todd
    CCLRC/DL/ASTeC, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire
  A combining cavity for RF power sources has been investigated as a way of saving space, in comparison to waveguides, and as a way of combining power with graceful degradation if one or more component were to fail. The cavity has been investigated as the maximum power output of an Inductive Output Tube (IOT) for CW is 80KW at 500MHz and a proposed output of 20KW at 1.3GHz and most RF systems for particle accelerators require much more than this. Although 1.3GHz klystrons do exist they are vastly more expensive to purchase and maintain. Also the down time could be minimised to minutes in the even of a single IOT failure where as a klystron has a minimum downtime of several days in the event of a failure. Initially the cavity and its inputs were simulated in CSTs? Microwave studio. After optimising the cavity to ensure the minimum reflection at the input ports and maximum transmission at the output port, a low power model was then created from aluminium. Signal generators were used to power the model and a network analyser was used to check the output. The model was used to compare the results gained from the computer simulation and to obtain results from asymmetric positioning of the ports, which was not possible in the simulation.

  • J. Norem, Z. Insepov

  We outline a model of breakdown in rf cavities. Breakdown can be triggered by two mechanisms, one is fracture of the surface due to the tensile stress produced by the electric field, the second is Ohmic heating at grain boundaries and defects at very high current densities. We show how this model follows from measurements of local electric fields using electron field emission, and show how the model applies to the operating conditions of a variety of rf structures.

  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, plasma, cathode, impedance 1069
 
  • S. Kwiatkowski, K.M. Baptiste, J. Julian
    LBNL/ALS, Berkeley, California
  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.  
 
TUPKF055 Space-charge-limited Magnetron Injection Guns for Gyroklystrons positron, plasma, impedance, booster 1072
 
  • W. Lawson
    Maryland University, College Park, Maryland
  We present the results of several space-charge-limited (SCL) magnetron injection gun (MIG) designs which are intended for use with a 500 kV, 500 A gyroklystron with accelerator applications. The design performances are compared to that of a temperature-limited (TL) gun that was constructed for the same application. The SCL designs yield similar values for beam quality, namely an axial velocity spread under 3% for an average perpendicular-to-parallel velocity ratio of 1.5. The peak electric fields and the cathode loadings of the SCL designs are somewhat higher than for the TL design. Three designs are described in this paper. In the first design the space-charge limit is achieved by recessing the emitter into the cathode. The other two designs have control electrodes to which a voltage can be applied to change the beam current independently of the beam voltage. One of these designs can accept a bias sufficiently high to cut off the current completely, so that a DC power supply with pulsed grid operation is possible. Details of all designs as well as a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the SCL designs as compared to the TL design will be given.  
 
TUPKF056 Multipacting in Crossed RF Fields near Cavity Equator positron, plasma, impedance, booster 1075
 
  • V.D. Shemelin
    Cornell University, Ithaca, New York
  Electric and magnetic fields near the cavity equator are presented in a form of expansions up to the third power of coordinates. Comparisons with numerical calculations made with the SLANS code for the TESLA and other cavity cells, as well as with the analytical solution for a spherical cavity are done. These fields are used for solution of equations of motion. It appears that for description of motion, the only main terms of the expansion are essential, but the value of coefficients for the electric field components depend on details of magnetic field behavior on the boundary. Equations of motion are solved for electrons moving in crossed RF fields near the cavity equator. Based on the analysis of these equations, general features of this kind of multipacting are obtained. Results are compared with simulations and experimental data. The "experimental" formulas for multipacting zones are explained and their dependence on the cavity geometries is shown. Developed approach allows evaluation of multipacting in a cavity without simulations but after an analysis of fields in the equatorial region. The fields can be computed by any code used for cavity calculation.  
 
TUPKF058 Test Results for the New 201.25 MHz Tetrode Power Amplifier at LANSCE positron, plasma, impedance, booster 1078

  A new RF amplifier has been constructed for use as the intermediate power amplifier stage for the 201.25 MHz Alvarez DTL at LANSCE. It is part of a larger upgrade to replace the entire RF plant with a new generation of components. The new RF power system under development will enable increased peak power with higher duty factor. The first tank requires up to 400 kW of RF power. This can be satisfied using the TH781 tetrode in a THALES cavity amplifier. The same stage will be also used to drive a TH628 Diacrode? final power amplifier for each of the three remaining DTL tanks. In this application, it will only be required to deliver approximately 150 kW of peak power. Details of the system design, layout for DTL 1, and test results will be presented.

    SLAC, Menlo Park, California
  In high gradient accelerator structures, such as those used in the main linac of the GLC/NLC, electrons are emitted spontaneously from the structure walls and then move under the influence of the rf fields. In this report we study the behavior of this "dark current" in X-band accelerator structures using a simple particle tracking program and also the particle-in-cell program MAGIC. We address questions such as what is the sensitivity to emission parameters, what fraction of dark current is trapped and reaches to the end of a structure, and what are the temporal, spatial, and spectral distributions of dark current as functions of accelerating gradient.

  SPEAR2 was upgraded in 2003, to a new 3rd Generation Light Source (3GLS) enabling users to take better advantage of almost 100x higher brightness and flux density over its predecessor SPEAR2. As part of the upgrade, the SPEAR2 RF system has been re-vamped from its original configuration of one 200 kW klystron feeding a single 358.5 MHz, 5-cell aluminum cavity; to a 1.2 MW klystron feeding four 476.3 MHz, HOM damped copper cavities. The system installation was completed in late November 2003 and the required accelerating voltage of 3.2 MV (800 kV/cavity) was very rapidly achieved soon after. This paper details the SPEAR3 RF system configuration and its new operating requirements, highlighting its installation and subsequent successful operation.

  The Low Energy Ring (LER) and High Energy Ring (HER) RF systems have operated now on PEP-II since July 1998 and have assisted in breaking all design luminosity records back in June 2002. Luminosity on PEP-II has steadily increased since then as a consequence of larger e+ and e- beam currents being accumulated. This has meant that the RF systems have inevitably been driven harder, not only to achieve these higher stored beam currents, but also to reliably keep the beams circulating whilst at the same time minimizing the number of aborts due to RF system faults. This paper details the current PEP-II RF system configurations for both rings, as well as future upgrade plans spanning the next 3-5 years. Limitations of the current RF system configurations are presented, highlighting improvement projects which will target specific areas within the RF systems to ensure that adequate operating overheads are maintained and reliable operation is assured.  
 
TUPKF065 Comparison of Klystron and Inductive Output Tubes (IOT) Vacuum-electron Devices for RF Amplifier Service in Free-electron Laser positron, plasma, impedance, booster 1093

    MIT/BLAC, Middleton, Massachusetts
  The MIT X-Ray Laser project, conceived to produce output in the 0.3 to 100 nanometer range, is based on a super-conducting 4-GEV linear accelerator, using 24 multi-cavity cryo-modules, each with its own dedicated RF amplifier, operating at 1.3 GHz. The continuous output of each amplifier is nominally 15 kW, with an optional repetitive pulse-modulation mode of 0.1 second pulse duration at one pulse per second. Although there are no fundamental restraints which preclude the consideration of any RF amplifier type, including solid-state or conventional triode or tetrode, the most appropriate current technology includes the Klystron and the IOT (Inductive Output Tube), also known by the CPI trade-name, Klystrode. The mechanisms by which the devices convert DC input power into RF output power are discussed. The devices are then compared with regard to availability (developmental or off-the-shelf), conversion efficiency, means of pulse-modulation, RF power gain, phase and amplitude stability (pushing factors), and acquisition and life-cycle costs.

  A high efficiency, high power magnicon at 34.272 GHz has been designed and built as a microwave source to develop RF technology for a future multi-TeV electron-positron linear collider. To develop this technology, this new RF source is being perfected for necessary tests of accelerating structures, RF pulse compressors, RF components, and to determine limits of breakdown and metal fatigue. After preliminary RF conditioning of only about 200000 pulses, the magnicon produced an output power of 10.5 MW in 0.25 microsecond pulses, with a gain of 54 dB. Slotted line measurements confirmed that the output was monochromatic to within a margin of at least 30 dB.

  The CLIC drive linac requires pulsed RF amplifiers with a power of 50 MW at 937 MHz. In turn the muon collider requires 100 MW, 800 MHz RF amplifiers for the final stages of acceleration. In this paper conceptual designs of magnicons for these applications are presented. In addition to the typical magnicon advantages in power and efficiency, the designs offers substantially shorter tube length compared to either single- or multiple-beam klystrons.

  Hurricane Isabel, originally a Category 5 storm, arrived at Jefferson Lab on September 18 with winds of only 75 mph creating little direct damage to the infrastructure. However, electric power was lost for four days allowing the superconducting cryomodules to warm up and causing a total loss of the liquid helium. The subsequent recovery of the cryomodules and the impact of the considerable amount of opportunistic preventive maintenance provides important lessons for all accelerators complexes, not only those with superconducting elements. The details of how the recovery process was structured and the resulting improvement in accelerator availability will be discussed in detail.

  We have installed two new cryomodules, one in the nuclear physics accelerator (CEBAF) and the other in the Free Electron Laser (FEL) of Jefferson Lab. The new cryomodules consist of 7-cell cavities with the original CEBAF cell shape and were designed to deliver gradients of 70 MV/module. Several significant design innovations were demonstrated in these cryomodules. This paper describes the production procedures, the performance characteristics of these cavities in vertical tests, results of tests in the new cryomodule test facility (CMTF) as well as the commissioning in the CEBAF tunnel and FEL. Performances and limitations after installation in the accelerators are discussed in this paper along with improvements proposed for future cryomodules.

  Nb/Cu technology for superconducting cavities has proven to be over the years a viable alternative to bulk niobium. Energetic vacuum deposition is a very unique alternative method to grow niobium thin film on copper. Single crystal growth of niobium on sapphire substrate has been achieved as well as good surface morphology of niobium on small copper samples. The design of a cavity deposition system is in development. This paper presents the exploratory studies of the influence of the deposition energy on the Nb thin film properties. Several possible venues to achieve Nb/Cu cavity deposition with this technique are also discussed along with the design of the cavity deposition setup under development.

  The Inductive Output Tube (IOT) is not widely used as an RF power source in particle accelerators yet, but this is about to change rapidly. One reason for this change is the IOT's "coming of age": almost twenty years of successful operation in television transmitters have lead to high refinement of IOT technology and proven reliability. The other reason is the fitness of the IOT to especially meet accelerator requirements: high efficiency, no need for power back-off to achieve fast feed-back regulation, and the possibility to pulse the RF without using a high-voltage modulator. Two classes of IOTs are available so far for application in particle accelerators. One of them consists of UHF external-cavity devices, frequency-tunable and producing output power levels up to 80 kW CW. The second class has been developed only recently. These are L-band IOTs with internal output cavities for 1.3 and 1.5 GHz, respectively, featuring output power levels between 15 and 30 kW CW. Extensive computer simulations have lead to the conclusion that even higher-power IOTs, such as a 300 kW peak-power, long-pulse L-band tube, are feasible.

  The VKL-8301 high-efficiency, multiple-beam klystron (MBK), has been developed for the DESY Tera Electron volt Superconducting Linear Accelerator (TESLA) in Hamburg, Germany. The first prototype is built and will be tested in March of 2004. The prototype has been designed for long-life operation by utilizing the benefits inherent in higher-order mode (HM) MBKs. The primary benefit of HM-MBKs is their ability to widely separate individual cathodes. One of the major obstacles to the success of this approach is the design of the off-axis electron beam focusing system, particularly when confined-flow focusing is desired. We will show simulated and measured data which demonstrates a solution to this problem. High power test results will also be shown.

  The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider requires a low noise rf source to ensure that beam lifetime during a store is not limited by the rf system. The beam is particularly sensitive to noise from power line harmonics. Additionally, the rf source must be flexible enough to handle the frequency jump required for rebucketing (transferring bunches from the acceleration to the storage rf systems). This paper will describe the design of a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) based system that provides both the noise performance and the flexibility required.

  There is significant interest in the possibility of building a super-conducting injector for high average current accelerator applications. One candidate for such a cavity design is superconducting lead. Such an injector would be made considerably simpler if it could be designed to use lead as the photocathode, eliminating the need for Cesiated materials in the injector. In this paper we present a study of the photoemission properties of lead at several UV wavelengths, including a study of the damage threshold of electroplated lead under laser cleaning. A quantum efficiency in excess of 0.1% has been achieved for a laser cleaned, electroplated lead sample with a laser wavelength of 193 nm.

  A hallmark of the "non-scaling" FFAG lattices recently proposed for neutrino factories and muon colliders is that a wide range of momentum is compacted into a narrow radial band; dL/L is of order 10-3 for dp/p of order unity. This property is associated with the use of F0D0 or FDF triplet lattices in which the F magnet provides a reverse bend. In this paper simple analytic formulae for key lattice properties, such as orbit displacement and path length as a function of momentum, are derived from thin-element models. These confirm the parabolic dependence of path-length on momentum observed with standard orbit codes, reveal the factors which should be adjusted to minimize its variation, and form a useful starting point for the thick-element design (for which analytic formulae are also presented). A key result is that optimized doublet, F0D0 and triplet cells of equal length and phase advance have equal path-length performance. Finally, in the context of a 10-20 GeV/c muon ring, the thin-element formulae are compared against lattice optical properties computed for thick-element systems; the discrepancies are small overall, and most discernible for the triplet lattices.

The deflecting plates are operated simultaneously in a dual mode, namely traveling wave mode for frequencies above about 10 MHz and as quasi electro-static deflectors below. The deflecting structures are water-cooled to handle heating from beam losses as well as from the deflecting signal.

  The reduction of the impedance of operational ferrite kicker structures may be desirable in order to avoid rebuilding such a device. Often resistively coated ceramic plates or tubes are installed for this purpose but at the expense of available aperture. Ceramic U-shaped profiles with a resistive coating fitting between the ellipse of the beam and the rectangular kicker aperture have been used to significantly reduce the impedance of the magnet, while having a limited effect on the available physical aperture Details of this method, constraints, measurements and simulation results as well as practical aspects are presented and discussed.

  The performance of the proposed trajectory correction scheme for the CNGS proton beam line was checked with an advanced simulation program. It was first investigated whether the scheme will be sufficient, and if some correctors or monitors could be suppressed in order to reduce the cost. The correction scheme was in particular tested for the case of faulty correctors or monitors. Possible critical scenarios were identified, which may not be visible in a purely statistical analysis. This part of the analysis was largely based on the experience with trajectory and orbit correction problems encountered in the SPS and LEP. The simulation of the trajectory correction procedure was done using recently developed software.

Therefore, simulating expected imperfections of the beam line elements and possible injection errors into the CNGS proton beam line, the beam spot stability at the target was investigated. Moreover, the mechanical aperture of the CNGS proton beam line was simulated and the results confirmed that the aperture is tight but sufficient.

  The storage ring complex of the new international accelerator facility consists of three different rings: the Collector Ring CR, the accumulator/decelerator ring RESR and the New Experimental Storage Ring NESR. The CR will serve for fast stochastic precooling of antiproton and rare isotope (RI) beams. Cooling time constants of about 100 ms for RI beams are envisaged. For experiments with RI beams the RESR serves as a decelerator ring. Precooled RI beams will be injected at 740 MeV/u and then decelerated to variable energies down to 100 MeV/u within about 1 s. The NESR will be the main instrument for nuclear and atomic physics. Besides experiments using an internal gas target, the NESR offers the possibility to collide circulating bunches of ions with electron bunches counter-propagating in a small 500 MeV electron storage ring. The physics program with antiprotons requires the accumulation of high intensity antiproton beams. The accumulation of 7×1010 antiprotons at 3 GeV per hour is foreseen. This will be accomplished by operating the RESR as an accumulator ring equipped with a stochastic cooling system. The NESR could then be used to decelerate antiprotons to 30 MeV.

  A large acceptance collector ring (CR) is designed for fast cooling of rare isotope and antiproton beams, which will be used for nuclear physics experiments in the frame of the new international accelerator facility recently proposed at GSI. This contribution describes the linear and non-linear optimisation used to derive a lattice solution with good dynamic behaviour simultaneously meeting the demands for very fast stochastic cooling for two optical modes (for rare isotope and antiproton beams). Effects due to non-linear field contributions of the magnet field in dipoles and quadrupoles are very critical in this ring. Using a single particle dynamics approach, the major magnetic non-linearities of the CR are studied. We discuss the particle dynamics of the dipole and quadrupole fringe fields and the their influence on the dynamic aperture and on the tune. Additionally, the CR will be operated at the transition energy (isochronous mode) for time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometery of short-lived radioactive ions. For this mode a specific correction scheme is required to reach a high degree of isochronism over a large acceptance.

Furthermore, measures to increase the repetition- and ramp rate up to 4 Hz with 10 T/s have been progressed. The present state of intensities per cycle and the limitations will be described. In connection with the planned enhancement of heavy ion intensities, protection, interlock and diagnostic systems, especially for the injection- and extraction devices have been prepared. Special attention is drawn on the insights which were achieved with respect to the operation at dynamic vacuum conditions. Results of R&D work with the goal to increase the intensity threshold and to improve the beam life time will be summarized. Furthermore, the specific upgrade program and schedule for the SIS18 booster mode will be presented.

  At higher particle energies the efficiency of RFQs decreases and DTL structures in combination with magnetic quadrupoles are used. One approach at IAP is the combination of RFQ and DTL. To compensate the defocusing effects of a DTL structure, the accelerating gaps of a spiral loaded cavity were equiped with small focusing fingers. These fingers arranged in a quadrupole symmetry provide an additional focusing field component. The beam dynamics of such a cavity has been studied with PARMTEQ. Simulations of the rf properties have been done using microwave studio. A prototype of a spiral loaded cavity with finger drift tubes has been built and low power measurement were made. Results of the calculations as well as low level and bead pertubation measurements are presented in this contribution.

  Within the IFMIF project (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) a high current D+-linac operated in cw mode has to be developed. The acceleration of a 125 mA D+-beam from 0.1 MeV up to 40 MeV must be performed at an extremely low loss rate (0.1-0.2 microA/m). One optional layout of the acceleration facility consists of a high current ion source, low energy beam transport (LEBT), Radio-Frequency-Quadrupol (RFQ) followed by a superconducting H-type DTL. The matching of the beam between subsequent linac sections has to be carefully optimized to avoid an activation of the structures. Actual beam dynamics simulations for such a linac design including parameter errors of components are reported. Consequences for the LEBT- and RFQ-section are discussed.

  • J. Thibus, A. Schempp

  High beam currents are necessary for heavy ion driven fusion (HIF) or XADS. To achieve these high beam currents several ion beams are combined at low energies to one beam using the funneling technique. In each stage a r.f. funneling deflector bunches two accelerated beam lines to a common beam axis. The Frankfurt Funneling Experiment is a scaled model of the first stage of a HIF driver consisting of a Two-Beam RFQ accelerator and a funneling deflector. Our two different deflectors have to be enhanced to reduce particle losses during the funneling process. This is done with our new developed 3D simulation software DEFGEN and DEFTRA. DEFGEN generates the structure matrix and the potential distribution matrix with a Laplace 3D-solver. DEFTRA simulates ion beam bunches through the r.f. deflector. The results of the simulations of the two existing deflectors and proposals of new deflector structures will be presented.

  The Frankfurt Funneling Experiment is a scaled model of the first funneling stage of a HIF driver to gather experiences in the funneling technique. It is a procedure to multiply beam currents at low energies in several stages. In each stage two beam lines are combined to a common beam line. The funneling technique is required for new proposed high current accelerator facilities like HIDIF. The main goal is to prevent emittance growth during the funneling process. Our experiment consists of two ion sources, a Two-Beam RFQ accelerator, two different funneling deflectors and a beam diagnostic equipment system. We have demonstrated the principle of funneling with both deflector types. But the measurements have shown a bad matching of the RFQ to the funneling deflector. Now with our new RFQ electrode design we achieve a special three dimensional matching to the deflector. The new results of our measurements and simulations will be presented.

  The low energy part of the LINAC of the MAFF facility will be an IH-RFQ cavity with 101.28 MHz resonance frequency. The RF design of the cavity has been completed, including design calculations and model measurements. The RFQ is designed to deliver ions of A/q = 6.5 up to 300 keV/u to be injected into the following LINAC. The structure chosen was an IH type of resonator since it was demontrated to have a better shunt impedance. The required voltage between the electrodes is 70kV and the operation mode is pulsed with a duty cycle of 10%. The structure will be made out from bulk copper in order to improve the shunt impedance and hence to allow not direct cooling on the electrodes. The optimizazion of the several parameters of the structure, and the technique for tuning the voltage distribution are presented in this paper. Measurements with a short model will be shown as well.

  For the LINAC of the Munich accelerator for fission fragments (MAFF) a new scheme for the low energy section has been proposed in order to fulfill new experimental requirements, such as time spacing between bunches and low longitudinal emittance. The proposed solution consists in a combination of an external multi-harmonic buncher with a "traditional" RFQ with a shaper and an adiabatic bunching section included where the employment of the external buncher is upon request from the experiment. The matching section downstream the RFQ has been re-designed in order to allow room for the installation of a beam cleaning section and to a proper injection into the following DTL. Details about the optics and beam dynamics studies of the low energy section are presented in this paper.  
 
TUPLT035 Online Calculation of the Beam Trajectory in the HERA Interaction Regions electron, beamloading, antiproton, betatron 1222
 
  • F. Brinker
    DESY, Hamburg
  During the HERA luminosity upgrade the new super conducting mini beta quadrupoles have been placed inside the experiments for final focussing and separation of the lepton and proton beams. The synchrotron radiation of up to 12 kW produced in these magnets passes through the detector and is absorbed behind the experiments. In order to avoid background events from synchrotron radiation it is a mandatory to adjust precisely the beam trajectory before and inside the detector. A procedure has been developed to calculate the trajectory in the interaction regions. With a beam-based alignment the offsets of the beam with respect to the quadrupoles is measured. From this measurement the offsets of the quadrupoles and of the beam position monitors are fitted. With the knowledge of these offsets the trajectory of the beam is calculated with high precision. The display of the trajectory is online available as an operational tool for beam steering and background optimization.

  • W. Decking, K. Balewski

  The reconstruction of the existing 2.3 km long storage ring PETRA II into a 3rd generation synchrotron light source (PETRA III) calls for an horizontal emittance of 1 nm rad. In addition the on- and off-momentum dynamic acceptance should be large to ensure sufficient injection efficiency and beam lifetime. We present three different types of lattices for the arcs of PETRA: a so-called TME lattice and a FODO lattice which both are newly designed to reach the specified emittance and the present FODO lattice with damping wigglers. The different lattice types have been compared through tracking calculations, including wiggler nonlinearities. Only the relaxed FODO lattice with damping wigglers meets the acceptance goals.

  The electron-proton collider HERA at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg has been in operation since 1991. After the luminosity upgrade of HERA in 2001 the control of the horizontal and vertical dispersion function of the positron beam became more important than before. Deviations from the design dispersion in the horizontal plane can change the emittance of the electron beam significantly thus leading to a reduction of the luminosity. For optimizing the polarization of the electron beam the reduction of vertical orbit and dispersion deviations is important. In this paper the combined dispersion and orbit correction in HERA is described and first results are reported.

  PETRA III is a 6 GeV synchrotron light source being reconstructed out of the existing storage ring PETRA II. It will have a horizontal beam emittance of 1nm.rad and a 1% emittance ratio. Since the vertical beam sizes are ~5?10 micron in the low gap undulators sections the beam position stability requirement in the vertical plane is between 0.5 and 1 micron whereas the stability requirement in the horizontal plane is more relaxed. In this paper determination of golden orbit in the presence of magnetic field errors and magnet misalignments and correction of vertical spurious dispersion is discussed. A scheme of slow and fast orbit correction using the SVD algorithm has been developed. The distribution of monitors and the location of slow and fast correctors are reported. Estimations of the parameters of the fast orbit feedback have been derived from present measurements on PETRA II.

  A post-accelerator of radioactive ions (RIB linac) must produce high-quality beams over the full mass range, including uranium, with high transmission and efficiency (P.N. Ostroumov and et al., Proc. of the PAC2001, p. 4080.). The initial section of the RIB linac is a low-charge-to-mass-ratio superconducting RF linac which will accelerate any ion with q/A>=1/66 to ~900 keV/u or higher. This section of the linac consists of many interdigital cavities operating at –20 degree synchronous phase and focusing can be provided by SC solenoids following each cavity. For the charge-to-mass ratio q/A=1/66 a proper focusing can be reached with the help of strong SC solenoid lenses with magnetic fields up to 15 T. These state-of-the-art solenoids are expensive. A possible lower cost alternative focusing method based on the combination of low-field SC solenoids and RF focusing is proposed and discussed in this paper.

  Radiation damage to various elements of the Nuclotron-type dipole of SIS100 sensitive to irradiation was calculated. Among the elements of consideration were the superconducting cables, insulating materials, ceramic insertions and high-current by-pass diodes. The Monte-Carlo particle transport code SHIELD was used to simulate propagation of the lost ions and protons together with the products of nuclear interactions in the material of the elements. The results for the proton projectiles were cross-checked using the particle transport code MARS, and a good agreement between the codes were found. It was found that the lifetime of the organic materials under irradiation are much more restrictive limit for the tolerable level of beam particle losses than the danger of the quench events.

  The article deals with the commissioning of electron cooler EC-300. It was designed and manufactured for CSR experiment (IMP, Lanzhou, China) by BINP, Russia. The energy of electron beam is up to 300 keV, the electron current is up to 3 A, the magnetic field in the cooling section is up to 1.5 kG. The major innovation of the cooler is the variable profile of electron beam, the electrostatic bends of the electron beam and the system of the magnetic field correction. During commissioning the linearity of the magnetic field 10-6 was obtained, the recuperation efficiency was observed up 10-6 , the pressure of residual gas in the vacuum chamber was 5? 10-11 torr during operation with the electron beam. The CSRe cooler for IMP is a new step at cooling technique and the first results achieved during commissioning are very interesting for accelerator physics.

At MSL and Fysikum at Stockholm University the ideas have been developed further in the Double Electrostatic Storage Ion Ring ExpEriment, DESIREE. Beams of negative and positive ions will be merged in a common straight section of the rings so that low energy collisions can be studied. Furthermore the rings will be cooled to 10 - 20 K in order to relax internal excitations in circulating molecules. A design report can be found at www.msl.se. The project is now (January 2004) almost fully financed and the final design work has recently been started. The paper will shortly review the physics programme and describe the status of the design work.

  The results of theoretical and numerical considerations of linear Compton scattering are used to evaluate characteristics of X-rays produced by collision between a low emittance electron beam and intensive laser light in an X-rays generator NESTOR of NSC KIPT. Two main generation modes have been under consideration at preliminary NESTOR design. There are the operation mode for medicine 33.4 keV X-rays production using 43 Mev electron beam and Nd:YAG laser beam and higher energy X-rays production mode providing X-rays with energy up to 900 keV with 225 MeV electron beam and Nd:YAG laser beam. It is supposed to use an optical cavity for laser beam accumulation of about 2.6 m long and an interaction angle of about 30 in both operation modes. A few more operation modes provide possibility to expand operation range of NESTOR. Using interaction angle 100 and 1500 along with optical resonator 42 or 21 cm long and the second mode of laser light it is possible to produce X-rays in energy range from a few keV till 1.5 MeV. The intensity and spectral brightness of the X-rays is expected to be ~ 1013 phot/s and ~ 1013 phot/s/mm2/mrad2/0.01%BW respectively.

  It is known that intensity of scattered radiation in X-rays generators based on Compton scattering strongly depends on relative position of electron and laser beams. For this reason it is very important to have effective system of reference orbit correction and beam position control as well along whole ring as at the interaction point. In the paper the results of design and development of reference orbit correction system for compact storage ring NESTOR are presented. The total reference orbit correction will be carried out in vertical plane only. Correctors will be disposed on quadrupole lenses and will be provide reference orbit correction angle up to 0.10. The local correction at the interaction point will be provided with four correctors located at the interaction straight section. In the article results of calculations, layout of whole system, quadrupole lenses and pick-up station parameters and schemes are presented.

A description is given of refinements to the beam line design of a 'Tandem' chopper system, developed to address the requirements of the ESS. Particle tracking using the 'General Particle Tracer' (GPT) code has enabled efficient optimisation of beam apertures, and the analysis of beam power density distributions on chopper beam dumps. Preliminary results of 'proof of principle' testing on prototype fast, and slower transition high voltage pulse generators, are presented.

  • R. Bhatt, C. Chen, J. Zhou

  A persistent challenge in high-intensity accelerator design is the optimization of matching conditions between a beam injector and a focusing system in order to minimize non-laminar flows, envelope oscillations, emittance growth, and halo production. It has been shown [*] that the fluid motion of a thin space-charge dominated beam propagating through a linear magnetic focusing channel consisting of any combination of uniform or periodic solenoidal fields and alternating gradient quadrupole fields can be solved by a general class of corkscrewing elliptic beam equilibria. The present work extends this discussion to asymmetric PPM focusing and derives conditions under which a uniform density elliptical beam can be matched to such a focusing channel by considering the fluid equilibrium in the paraxial limit. Methods of constructing such a beam are also discussed, with particular attention devoted to analytic electrode design for Pierce-type gun diodes of elliptical cross-section. Several applications are discussed, including heavy-ion fusion and a high-efficiency ribbon beam microwave amplifier for accelerator applications.

  The second axis of the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydro-Test (DARHT) facility will provide up to four short(< 150 ns) radiation pulses for flash radiography of high-explosive driven implosion experiments[1]. The DARHT-II linear induction accelerator (LIA) will produce a 2-kA,18-MeV,2-micro-s electron beam. A fast kicker will cleave four short pulses out of the beam, which will focused onto a tantalum target for conversion to bremsstrahlung pulses for radiography. The first tests of the second axis accelerator were designed to demonstrate the technology, and to meet the modest performance requirements for closing out the DARHT-II construction project. These experiments demonstrated that we could indeed produce a 1.2 kA beam with pulse length 0.5-1.2 s and accelerate it to 12.5 MeV. These de-rated parameters were chosen to minimize risk of damage in these first experiments with this novel accelerator. The beam was stable to the BBU instability for these parameters. In fact, we had to reduce the magnetic guide field by a factor of 5 before any evidence of BBU was observed. We will discuss the results of these experiments and their implications, as well as our plans for continuing with DARHT-II commissioning.

  Present operations at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator use a surface conversion source to provide 80-keV, 16 to 18-mA H- beams with typical rms normalized emittance of 0.13 (pmm-mrad). Operational flexibility of the 800-MeV linac and proton storage ring will be increased by a higher current H- source. The present goal is to achieve a 25-mA H- surface converter source with modest (10-20%) emittance increase without sacrificing the present LANSCE production source 12% df and 28 day lifetime. The LANSCE 80-kV ion source test stand (ISTS) has been brought into reliable 24-hour per day operation with computer control and modern electronics. A fourth production source has been fabricated, and is now operating on the ISTS. H- currents up to 25mA have been observed with 0.15 to 0.18(pmm-mrad) rms normalized emittances. An experimental study of surface converter geometries and electron filters at the emitter electrode are planned to optimize source current and emittance.

  The techniques of normal form analysis, well known in the literature, can be used to provide a straightforward characterization of linear betatron dynamics in a coupled lattice. Here, we consider both the beam distribution and the betatron oscillations in a storage ring. We find that the beta functions for uncoupled motion generalize in a simple way to the coupled case. Defined in the way that we propose, the beta functions remain well behaved (positive and finite) under all circumstances, and have essentially the same physical significance for the beam size and betatron oscillations as in the uncoupled case. Application of this analysis to the online modeling of the PEP-II rings is also discussed.

SASE saturation will be reached in the LCLS only if the emittance and uncorrelated energy spread remain respectively below 1.2 mm.mrad and 5. 10-4. This high beam quality will not be met if the Longitudinal Space Charge (LSC) instability develops in the injector and gets amplified in the compressors. The Longitudinal Space Charge instability originates in the injector beamline, from an initial modulation of the current density. Numerical computations, performed with Multiparticle Space Charge tracking codes, showing the evolution of the longitudinal phase space along the LCLS Photoinjector beamline, are presented. Those results are compared with an analytical model for various regimes of energy and acceleration. This study justifies the necessity to insert a "laser heater" in the LCLS Photoinjector beamline to warm up the beam and thus prevent the amplification of the LSC instability in the compressors. Numerical calculations of the 'laser heater' performances are presented.

  Measurement of asymmetry between alternating opposite electron polarization in electron-nucleon scattering experiments can answer important questions about nucleon structures. Such experiments impose stringent condition on the electron beam quality, and thus the accelerator used for beam creation and delivery. Of particular concern to such ?parity? experiments is the level of correlation between beam characteristics (orbit, intensity) and electron polarization that can obscure the real asymmetry. This can be introduced at the beam forming stage, created due to scraping, or not damped to desired level due to defective transport. Suppression of such correlation thus demands tight control of the beam line from cathode to target, and requires multi-disciplined approach with collaboration among nuclear physicists and accelerator physicists/engineers. The approach adopted at Jefferson Lab includes reduction of correlation source, improving low energy beam handling, and monitoring and correcting global transport. This paper will discuss methods adopted to meet the performance criteria imposed by parity experiments, and ongoing research aimed at going beyond current performance.

  The CEBAF accelerator simultaneously provides three 499 MHz interleaved continuous electron beams spanning 5 decades in beam intensity (a few nA to 200 uA) to three experimental halls. The typical three-user physics program became more challenging when a new experiment, G0, was approved for more than six times higher bunch charge than is routine. The G0 experiment requires up to 8 million electrons per bunch (at a reduced repetition rate of 31 MHz) while the lowest current hall operates at 100 electrons per bunch simultaneously. This means a bunch destined to one hall may experience significant space charge forces while the next bunch, for another hall, is well below the space charge limit. This disparity in beam intensity is to be attained while maintaining best ever values in the beam quality, including final relative energy spread (<2.5x 10-5 rms) and transverse emittance (<1 mm-mrad norm. rms). The difficulties related to space charge emerge in the 10m long, 100 keV section of the CEBAF injector during initial beam production and acceleration. A series of changes were introduced in the CEBAF injector to meet the new requirements, including changes in the injector setup, adding new magnets, replacing lasers used for the photocathode and modifying typical laser parameters, stabilizing RF systems, and changes to standard operating procedures. In this paper, we will discuss all these modifications in some detail including the excellent agreement between the experimental results and detailed simulations. We will also present some of our operational results.

  A pre-existing PARMELA model of the CEBAF injector has been recently verified using machine survey data and also extended to 60 MeV region. The initial distribution and temperature of an electron bunch are determined by the photocathode laser spot size and emittance measurements. The improved injector model has been used for extensive computer simulations of the simultaneous delivery of the Hall A beam required for a hypernuclear experiment, and the Hall C beam, required for a parity experiment. The Hall C beam requires a factor of 6 higher bunch charge than the Hall A beam, with significantly increased space charge effects, while the Hall A beam has an exceedingly stringent energy spread requirement of 2.5x 10-5 rms. Measurements of the beam properties of both beams at several energies (100 keV, 500 keV, 5 MeV, 60 MeV) and several values of the bunch charge were performed using the standard quad-wire scanner technique. Comparisons of simulated particle transmission rate, longitudinal beam size, transverse emittance and twiss parameters, and energy spread against experimental data yield reasonably good agreement. The model is being used for searching for optimal setting of the CEBAF injector.

    ORNL/SNS, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
  This paper deals with some measurable quantities of beams preserved under symplectic transformations. General beam distributions have no determined area, and rms quantities of the beam do not provide invariants in general nonlinear case. It is shown, though, that in the 1D case there exist some integral and local invariants, directly linked to Liouville's theorem. Beam invariants, related to general properties of symplectic transformations, are also found and presented for 2D and 3D cases. If measured at different locations, they can tell whether the transformation is symplectic or there exist diffusion, friction, or other non-Hamiltonian dynamic processes in the beam.

  The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is an accelerator-based neutron source being built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The SNS project design and construction is a partnership involving six DOE national laboratories including Argonne, Brookhaven, Jefferson, Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, and Los Alamos. When completed in 2006, the SNS will provide the most intense, pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development. At the present time we are installing and commissioning the warm linac system, designed by Los Alamos, and have to date had good success. The warm linac is comprised of six Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tanks and four Coupled Cavity Linac (CCL) modules. These accept an incoming negative hydrogen ion beam from the Front End injector at 2.5 MeV, and accelerate to a final energy of 185 MeV. At this time we have installed and commissioned DTL tanks 1-3 and installed CCL module 1 . Experience and information gained during installation will be presented. The performance in terms of alignment, vacuum and field tuning will be described.

  The Spallation Neutron Source accelerator systems will provide a 1 GeV, 1.44 MW proton beam to a liquid mercury target for neutron production. The accelerator complex consists of an H- injector capable of producing 38 mA peak current, a 1 GeV linear accelerator, an accumulator ring and associated transport lines. The linear accelerator consists of a Drift Tube Linac, a Coupled-Cavity Linac and a Superconducting Linac which provide 1.5 mA average current to the accumulator ring. The staged beam commissioning of the accelerator complex is proceeding as component installation progresses. In three separate beam commissioning runs, the H- injector and Drift Tube Linac tanks 1-3 have been commissioned at ORNL. Several important performance goals have been achieved, namely 38 mA peak beam current, 1 msec beam pulse length and 1 mA average beam current. Results and status of the beam commissioning program will be presented.

  The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator systems, which consist of an H- injector, a 1 GeV linear accelerator, an accumulator ring and associated transport lines, will provide a 1 GeV, 1.44 MW proton beam to a liquid mercury target for neutron production. The SNS is presently under construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and will begin operations in 2006. Even in the baseline design, many of the accelerator subsystems are capable of supporting higher beam intensities and higher beam energy. We report on upgrade scenarios for the SNS accelerator systems which increase the 1.44 MW baseline beam power to at least 3 MW, and perhaps as high as 5 MW. The increased SNS beam power can be achieved primarily by increasing the H- ion source current, installing additional superconducting cryomodules to increase the final linac beam energy to 1.3-1.4 GeV, and modifying injection and extraction hardware in the ring to handle the increased beam energy. The upgrade beam parameters will be presented, the required hardware modifications will be described, and the beam dynamics implications will be discussed.

  As SNS undergoes construction, many detailed questions arise concerning strategies for commissioning and operating the accumulator ring. The ORBIT Code is proving to be an indispensible tool for addressing these questions and for providing guidance to the physicists and decision makers as operation draws near. This paper shows the application of ORBIT to a number of ring issues including exclusion of the HEBT RF cavities during commissioning, the detailed effect of the injection chicane magnets on the beam, the effects and correction of magnet alignment and multipole errors, debunching of the linac 402.5 MHz beam structure, the injection of self consistent uniform beam configurations, and initial electron cloud simulations.

  A series of emittance measurements were performed at the end of Drift Tube Linac tank 1 of the Spallation Neutron Source to verify experimentally the previously proposed halo generation mechanism and its mitigation schemes [1]. The emittance measurements clearly showed a visible reduction in the halo as well as a significant reduction in the rms emittance when the proposed round beam optics is employed. This confirms experimentally the halo generation mechanism we identified.

  The ion source for the Spallation Neutron Source* (SNS) is a radio frequency, multi-cusp, source designed to deliver ~ 45 mA of H- with a normalized rms emittance of less than 0.2 pi mm mrad to the SNS accelerator. Once the SNS is fully operational a beam current duty factor of 6% (1 ms pulse length, repetition rate of 60 Hz) will be required from the ion source. To date, the source has been utilized in the early commissioning of the SNS accelerator and has already demonstrated stable, satisfactory operation at beam currents of ~30 mA with duty factors of ~0.1% for operational periods of several weeks. This work summarizes the results of a series of lifetime tests performed at a dedicated ion source test facility where the source was pushed closer to the operational goal of 6% duty factor.

  • J. Kewisch, C. Montag

  To improve cooling capability of electron coolers magnetized beams in strong solenoid fields are used. Too avoid betatron coupling in the ion coupling compensation is required. For the RHIC electron cooler we propose a scheme consisting of two identical solenoids with opposing fields, connected by a quadrupole matching section that preserves the electron beam magnetization. Since the fringe fields of the individual magnets overlap, the matching section can not be designed with standard optics codes. We developed an optimization code based on particle tracking instead. Input for the program are the simulated/measured field maps of the magnets. We demonstrate that the transverse temperature of the electron beam does not increase.

  The measurements of betatron coupling via skew quadrupole modulation is a new diagnostics technique that has been recently developed and tested at RHIC. By modulating the current of different skew quadrupole families with different frequencies and measuring the resulting eigentunes response with a high resolution phase lock loop (PLL) system, it is possible to determine the projections of the residual coupling coefficients. We report the results of extensive beam studies carried on at RHIC injection, store energy and on the ramp. The capability of measuring coupling on the ramp opens the possibility of continuous coupling corrections during acceleration.

  The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accumulator ring is a high intensity ring and must have low uncontrolled losses for hands on maintenance. To achieve these low losses one needs very tight tolerance. These tight tolerances have been achieved through shimming the magnets and sorting. Dipoles are solid core magnets and had very good field quality but magnet to magnet variation were sorted out according to ITF, since all the dipole are powered with one power supply. Typically, sorting is done to minimize linear effects in beam dynamics. Here, sorting of quadrupoles was done according to a scheme which allows to reduce unwanted strength of nonlinear resonances. As a result, the strength of sextupole resonances for our base line tune-box was strongly reduced which was confirmed by a subsequent beam dynamics simulation.

  Acceleration of polarized protons in the energy range of 5 to 25 GeV is particularly difficult since depolarizing spin resonances are strong enough to cause significant depolarization but full Siberian snakes cause intolerably large orbit excursions. Using a 20 - 30 % partial Siberian snake both imperfection and intrinsic resonances can be overcome. Such a strong partial Siberian snake was designed for the Brookhaven AGS using a dual pitch helical superconducting dipole. Multiple strong partial snakes are also discussed for spin matching at beam injection and extraction.

  The magnetic settings in RHIC are driven by an online model, and the quality of the resulting lattice functions depend on the correctness of the settings, including knowledge of the magnet transfer-functions. Here we first present the different inputs into the online model, including dipole sextupole compenents, used to set tunes and chromaticities along the ramp. Next, based on an analysis of measured tunes and chromaticities along the fy03 polarized proton ramp, we present predictions for quadrupole transfer-function changes. The changes are implemented for the fy04 Au ramp, and we show the improved model agreement for tunes, and chromaticities along the ramp, and measured transverse phase-advance at store. We also describe model improvements for derived observables like the quality of transverse bump closure and observed luminosity ratios between individual interaction points.

  • J. Wei, N. Tsoupas
    BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
  The super neutrino beam facility proposed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory requires proton beams to cross the transition energy in the AGS to reach 1 MW beam power at top energy. High intensity beams are accelerated at a fast repetition rate. Upon transition crossing, such high intensity bunches of large momentum spreads suffer from strong nonlinear chromatic effects and self-field effects. Using theoretical and experimental methods, we determine the impact of these effects and the effectiveness of transition-jump compensation schemes, and determine the optimum crossing scenario for the super neutrino beam facility.  
 
WEXCH01 Experience with LHC Magnets from Prototyping to Large-scale Industrial Production and Integration electron, kicker, bunching, beamloading 118
 
  • L. Rossi
    CERN, Geneva
  The construction of the LHC superconducting magnets is approaching one third of its completion. At the end of 2003, main dipoles cold masses for more than one octant were delivered; meanwhile the winding for the second octant was almost completed. The other big magnets, like the main quadrupoles and the insertion quadrupoles, have entered into series production as well. Providing more than 20 km of superconducting magnets, with the quality required for an accelerator like LHC, is an unprecedented challenge in term of complexity that has required several steps from the construction of 1 meter-long magnets in the laboratory to today production of more than one 15 meter-long magnet per day in Industry. The work and its organization is made even more complex by the fact that CERN supplies most of the critical components and part of the main tooling to the magnet manufacturers, both for cost reduction and for quality issues. In this paper the critical aspects of the construction and the time plan will be reviewed and the actual achievements in term of quality and construction time will be compared with the expectations.

  A new type of rf cavity will be used for J-PARC project. To minimize the beam loading effects, the quality factor of the core stack is increased by a cut core configuration. High power test of the rf system has been performed. Temperature rise around the cut surface of the cores were observed. It is minimized by improving the cooling efficiency.

  In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the gas desorbed via photon stimulated molecular desorption or electron stimulated molecular desorption will be physisorbed onto the beam screen held between 5 and 20 K. Studies of the effects of the electron cloud onto a LHC type cryogenic vacuum chamber have been performed with the cold bore experiment (COLDEX) installed in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). Experiments performed with gas condensates such as H2, H2O, CO and CO2 are described. Implications to the LHC design and operation are discussed.

WEOACH03 Achievement of 35 MV/m in the TESLA Superconducting Cavities Using Electropolishing as a Surface Treatment kicker, bunching, beamloading, antiproton 129
 
  • L. Lilje
    DESY, Hamburg
  The Tera Electronvolt Superconducting Linear Accelerator TESLA is the only linear electron-positron collider project based on superconductor technology for particle accelaration. In the first stage with 500 GeV center-of-mass energy an accelerating field of 23.4MV/m is needed in the superconducting niobium cavities which are operated at a temperature of 2 K and a quality factor Q0 of 1010. This performance has been reliably achieved in the cavities of the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) accelerator. The upgrade of TESLA to 800 GeV requires accelerating gradients of 35 MV/m. Using an improved cavity treatment by electrolytic polishing it has been possible to raise the gradient to 35 - 43 MV/m in single cell resonators. Here we report on the successful transfer of the electropolishing technique to multi-cell cavities. Presently four nine-cell cavities have achieved 35 MV/m at Q_0 = 5 × 109, and a fifth cavity could be excited to 39 MV/m. In two high-power tests it could be verified that EP-cavities preserve their excellent performance after welding into the helium cryostat and assembly of the high-power coupler. One cavity has been operated for 1100 hours at the TESLA-800 gradient of 35 MV/m and 57 hours at 36 MV/m without loss in performance.

WEYCH01 Fast Pulsed SC Magnets kicker, bunching, beamloading, antiproton 132
 
  • G. Moritz
    GSI, Darmstadt
  The demand for high beam intensities leads to the requirement of fast pulsed magnets for synchrotrons. An example is the proposed 'International Facility for Beams of Ions and Antiprotons' at GSI, which will consist of two synchrotrons in one tunnel and several storage rings. The high field ramp rate and repetition frequency introduce many magnet design problems and constraints in the operation of the accelerator. Persistent currents in the superconductor and eddy currents in wire, cable, iron and vacuum chamber reduce the field quality and generate cryogenic losses. Due to the large number of magnet cycles during the lifetime of such a magnet, special attention has to be paid to magnet material fatigue problems. The large charging voltages put some constraints on the use of cold diodes for quench protection. R&D has started at GSI, in collaboration with many institutions, to comply with the constraints mentioned above. Model dipoles were built and tested. The results of the R&D are reported. The advantages of the use of low field, fast pulsed superconducting, compared to resistive, magnets will be discussed

  The perspective to build large accelerators based on high gradient superconducting cavities is posing a number of new problems that have been addressed in the preparation of the TESLA project. Starting from the experience gained with the past large installations, such as LEP2 at CERN and CEBAF at JLab, in this paper I discuss the new demands and the solution envisaged. Industrial production issues are focussed in terms of large scale production, reviewed quality control criteria and cost reduction. The impact on component design and engineering together with the expected improvements in term of performances and reliability are also outlined.

WEYCH03 Low and Medium Beta Superconducting Cavities kicker, bunching, beamloading, antiproton 142
 
  • A. Facco
    INFN/LNL, Legnaro, Padova
  The use of low- and intermediate-beta superconducting cavities, once confined to low current heavy ion linacs, is steadily increasing in accelerators. The progress in this technology allowed a significant increase in cavity performance during the last 10 years; a large number of resonators, with different geometries, frequencies and gap numbers have been built for a large variety of applications and the development is still going on. The main boost is given by new projects of radioactive beam facilities and high power proton accelerators worldwide. While the advantages of SC resonators, compared with normal conducting structures, are rather well established in high-beta linacs, this is not always the case at low-beta. The choice of the optimum transition beam energy in a linac, where superconducting cavities should replace the room temperature ones, requires a careful evaluation that depends on the linac specifications.

  Radiation protection survey around CERN's High Energy Accelerators represents a major technical and physical challenge due to the pulsed and complexity of the mixed radiation fields. The fields are composed of hadrons, leptons and photons ranging in energy from fractions of eV to several 10 GeV. In preparation of the implementation of a Radiation Monitoring System for the Environment and Safety (RAMSES) of the future Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its injectors comprehensive studies were performed to evaluate the suitability of different existing monitors for this task. Different ionization chambers were exposed to short, high-intensity radiation pulses and their saturation levels for high dose rates determined. Limiting factors such as recombination effects and the capacity of the electronics to process a high number of charges within very short time were studied in detail. These results are being used to optimize the design of the read-out electronics. In additional studies, the response of two different types of ionization chambers to high-energy radiation was investigated by measurements in the mixed radiation fields of the CERN EU high-energy Reference Field (CERF) facility. The results of the experiments agreed well with calculations, clearly demonstrating that modern Monte-Carlo simulation techniques can be used to design radiation monitors and to optimize their performance.

  The chopper system for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) provides a gap in the beam for clean extraction from the accumulator ring. It consists of a pre-chopper in the low-energy beam transport (LEBT) and a faster chopper in the medium-energy beam transport (MEBT). We report here on the final design, fabrication, installation, and first beam tests of the MEBT chopper. The traveling-wave deflector is a meander-line design that matches the propagation of the deflecting pulse with the velocity of the beam at 2.5 MeV, after the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) acceleration stage. The pulser uses a series of fast-risetime MOSFET transistors to generate the deflecting pulses of ± 2.5 kV with rise and fall times of 10 ns. We describe the design and fabrication of the meander line and pulsers and report on the first operation during initial beam tests at SNS.

WEOCCH01 A New 180 MeV H- Linac for Upgrades of ISIS radiation, kicker, bunching, target 153
 
  • F. Gerigk
    CCLRC/RAL/ASTeC, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon
  Several options have been studied to raise the beam power of the ISIS spallation neutron source to a level of 1 MW with the possibility of going to 4-5 MW in the longer term. All scenarios can operate in 2 modes, where the beam power is either delivered to a spallation target or, alternatively, to a target suitable to produce muons via pion decay for a neutrino factory. A more recent upgrade option takes an intermediate step and uses a 180 MeV H- linac, which is also foreseen for the 4-5 MW upgrade, as a replacement for the current 70 MeV injector. First estimates indicate that, due to the lower space charge forces, the ring would be able to carry twice as many particles, thus doubling the final beam power to 0.5 MW. This paper presents a first design for the 180 MeV linac, using a triple frequency jump from 234.8 to 704.4 MHz. The design profits from the development of 704.4 MHz cavities and RF equipment within the framework of the European HIPPI collaboration. The low frequency for the front-end was chosen to ease the DTL design as well as the development of a low energy beam chopper, which will be necessary to reduce beam losses at injection into the synchrotron.

  (For the Spallation Neutron Source collaboration) The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator complex is now in its sixth year of a seven-year construction cycle. The design, fabrication, test, and assembly of the accumulator ring and its transport lines is approaching the final stage. In order to reach the design goal of this high-power ring to deliver 1.5 MW beam power (1.5$× 1014 protons of 1 GeV kinetic energy at a repetition rate of 60 Hz), stringent measures have been implemented to ensure the quality of the accelerator systems. This paper reviews the progress of the ring and transport systems with emphasis on the challenging technical issues and their solutions inccurred during the construction period.

WEODCH01 1.5-GeV FFAG Accelerator as Injector to the BNL-AGS radiation, acceleration, kicker, bunching 159

  A 1.5-GeV Fixed-Field Alternating-Gradient (FFAG) Accelerator has been recently proposed as a new injector to the Alternating-Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). It is being considered as a replacement of the present 1.5-GeV AGS Booster. The substitution will enhance the performance of the AGS accelerator facility in a variety of ways. It would still allow acceleration of all hadronic particles: protons, and heavy-ions. The major benefit is that it would considerably shorten the typical combined AGS acceleration cycle, and, consequently, may yield to an improvement of beam stability, intensity and size. The AGS-FFAG will also facilitate the proposed upgrade of the AGS facility toward a 1-MW average proton beam power. The paper describes a compact FFAG design for acceleration of protons from 200 MeV to 1.5 GeV. The circumference is about 250 m. The lattice is a periodic sequence of FDF triplets of combined-function magnets. An adjusted field profile has been calculated to compensate the variation of the main lattice functions with momentum. At injection, a beam pulse 130 μs long of negative-ions (H?) is stacked with the charge-exchange method. Acceleration of one pulse with 2.5 x 1013 protons takes about 130 μs, if harmonic-jump scheme is used in conjunction with the choice of 201.25 MHz. Four of such beam pulses are required to fill entirely the AGS. The entire filling process thus takes less than one millisecond.

  The KEK electrostatic ring is used for investigations of molecular, bimolecular and DNA ions. The electron target installed in this ring has same construction as usual electron cooler. The interaction of stored ions with the electrons increases the ion lifetime at electron cooling caused by a suppression of the ion scattering on the residual gas atoms. The proton lifetime of 2 s was increased in the experiments by factor 2 at the electron cooling with the electron beam current of 0.2 mA, the proton energy of 20 keV and the residual gas pressure of 0.04 nTorr. However the electron-ion interaction can decrease the ion lifetime caused by an excitation of the transverse instability produced by an intensive electron beam. So in the KEK electrostatic ring the proton lifetime is reduced to 1.7 s at detuning of electron acceleration voltage from nominal cooler value on 0.4 V. The simulation of electron cooling and transverse instability of the light and DNA ions are discussed in this report.

WEXLH01 Non-destructive Beam Measurements electron, radiation, ion, kicker 165
 
  • M. Bai
    BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
  In high energy accelerators especially storage rings, non-destructive beam measurements are highly desirable to minimize the impact on the beam quality. In principle, the non-destructive tools can be either passive detectors like Schottky, or active devices which excite either longitudinal or transverse beam motions for the corresponding measurements. An example of such a device is ac dipole, a magnet with oscillating field, which can be used to achieve large coherent betatron oscillations. It has been demonstrated in the Brookhaven AGS that by adiabatically exciting the beam, the beam emittance growth due to the filamentation in the phase space can be avoided. This paper overviews both techniques in general. In particular, this paper also presents the beam tune measurement with Schottky detector, phase advance measurement as well as non-linear resonance measurements with the ac dipoles in the Brookhaven RHIC.

  We describe the application of the Conformal Finite Integration Technique (CFIT) in the time-domain to beam dynamics simulations with the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method. The conformal method results in a more accurate field solution for complicated geometries than the traditional FIT approach. For long-time simulations we investigate several methods for the suppression of the spurious noise, typically emerging in PIC simulations. The results are compared with the analytical solution for a bunch in a semi-infinite waveguide for each of the presented methods. As a realistic example simulations for the RF-Gun installed at Photo Injector Test Facility in DESY Zeuthen (PITZ) will be presented.

  Recently a novel approach to perform multi-turn extraction was proposed based on beam splitting in the transverse phase space by means of trapping inside stable islands. During the year 2002 run, preliminary measurements at the CERN Proton Synchrotron with a low-intensity, single-bunch, proton beam, confirmed the possibility of generating various beamlets starting from a single Gaussian beam. The experimental campaign continued also in the year 2003 run to assess a number of key issues, such as feasibility of trapping with high-intensity beam, capture efficiency, and multi-turn extraction proper. The experimental results are presented and discussed in detail in this paper.

WEOALH03 Installation Strategy for the LHC Main Dipoles electron, radiation, ion, kicker 176
 
  • S.D. Fartoukh
    CERN, Geneva
  All positions in the LHC machine are not equivalent in terms of beam requirements on the geometry and the field quality of the main dipoles. In the presence of slightly or strongly out-of tolerance magnets, a well-defined installation strategy will therefore contribute to preserve or even optimize the performance of the machine. In view of present state of the production, we have anticipated a list of potential issues (geometry, transfer function, field direction and random b3) which, combined by order of priority, have been taken into account to define a robust installation algorithm for the LHC main dipoles. Among the different possible strategies, the proposed one has been optimised in terms of simplicity and flexibility in order not to slow down and complicate the installation process. Its output is a prescription for installing the available dipoles in sequence while reducing to an absolute minimum the number of holes required by geometry or field quality issues.

WEYLH01 Emittance Control for Very Short Bunches electron, ion, kicker, bunching 179
 
  • K.L.F. Bane

  Many recent accelerator projects call for the production of high energy bunches of electrons or positrons that are simultaneously short, intense, and have small emittances. Two examples of such projects are linear colliders, such as the GLC/NLC, and Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) FEL's, such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). A major challenge in such projects is keeping in check forces that increase short bunch emittances in accelerator components, such as: wakefields of accelerator structures, collimators, and surface roughness, and coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). We describe such forces and their control.

  Significant progress in the detailed computational study of collective beam dynamics is being driven by the spectacular increase in computer power. To take advantage of this, sophisticated physics models are being applied to ever more realistic and detailed situations, so that it is no longer necessary to restrict computer studies to highly idealized depictions of beam dynamics questions. This presentation will illustrate the application of a number of collective beam dynamics models to a range of accelerator physics problems in high intensity proton rings. In particular, we will consider the effects of space charge, transverse and longitudinal impedances, and electron cloud formation on beam parameters, stability, halo formation, collimation and losses, and possible equilibrium configurations. Examples will be taken from PSR, the CERN PS Ring, and SNS.

Case studies will illustrate the hurdles that must be surmounted and effective methods to build successful partnerships, licensing opportunities and spinout companies. Factors considered will include assessment of the commercial potential of technologies, personal motivations for academic/industrial collaboration, sources of funding, and effects on the academic groups involved in knowledge transfer activity.

WEILH03 Industrial Response to RF Power Requirements ion, kicker, bunching, beamloading 202
 
  • M. Wilcox
    e2v technologies, Chelmsford, Essex
  Today, high-energy physics machines are broadly speaking of two kinds. Some machines are dedicated to providing a service using particle acceleration as an intermediate step (light sources, neutron spallation sources, cancer therapy equipment etc.)and occasionally, particle colliders are built in which the particles are used directly to probe the nature and origin of matter. The latter machines have developed to a point where the technology needed is often at the extreme edge of what is understood, let alone of what is currently achievable. In addition the scope of supply and the level of equipment integration demanded of industry is increasing as RF skills become scarcer. This reduces the supplier base so placing greater demands on those remaining. To help offset this problem, companies should be brought 'inside' the project team at an early stage of the machine design so that better account can be taken of limitations, preferences and competing obligations that the companies may have. A more collaborative approach should result in projects being completed in a shorter time, to a lower cost, and with a more certain outcome.

  The design, construction and commissioning of a modern third-generation synchrotron light source facility is a major project, costing hundreds of millions of dollars. The delivery of these new facilities, usually on a fixed budget and schedule, requires an effective working relationship with all suppliers providing equipment and services to the project. This talk will examine some of the key issues in developing and maintaining such a relationship with industry during the construction of a third-generation synchrotron light facility. These issues include project planning, the contract specification, the tendering process, communication techniques over the contract term, and other aspects of contract control. Examples, primarily from our experience constructing the Canadian Light Source but also from other new facilities planned or under construction, will be used to examine the effectiveness of various approaches to working with industry.

  The Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron. In this work we describe the characteristics of the end magnets for the IFUSP main microtron. The magnets are part of the main acceleration stage, which raises the energy from 4.9 to 31 MeV. We are studying the possibility of increasing the energy up to 38 MeV, so the magnets should have approximately 2x1 m2 region of useful field. The dipoles have a 0.1410 T magnetic field and 1 part in 1000 homogeneity without correcting devices. Using a 2D magnetic field code (FEMM), we illustrate the use of homogenizing gaps with different forms and non parallel pole faces to achieve the necessary homogeneity. The use of clamps to produce reverse fields to reduce the vertical defocusing strength on the beam is also described. In order to calculate the beam trajectories and to evaluate the magnetic field homogeneity within the useful region, a 3D magnetic field software (TOSCA) was used.

  The Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron. In this work, we describe the design of the magnetic quadrupole lenses for the IFUSP microtron. The design consists of a laminar structure divided in four equal pieces. Because each piece corresponds to an individual pole, it eases the assembling of the coils and the installation of the quadrupole on the beam transport line without breaking the vacuum. Due to the fact that the quadrupole is laminated along the longitudinal axis, it is possible to change the length of a given lens by adding or subtracting foils. We also present the magnetic field distribution calculated using the POISSON code. A prototype presented good mechanical rigidity and thermal performance, showing that a refrigeration system is not necessary. The magnetic measurements show that the field distribution within the region of interest agrees with the POISSON simulation.

  This work presents analytical and numerical results for the pressure field distribution along the axis of tubular geometries with arbitrary axisymmetric cross sections with an arbitrary time- and position-dependent gas source. Several areas of applied physics deal with problems in high-vacuum and ultra high-vacuum technology that present tubular form. In many cases one finds tubes with non uniform cross sections, like parts of particle accelerators, colliders, storage rings, gravitational antennas, and electron devices, like klystrons, electron microscopes, and also parts of vacuum systems in general, for instance, bellows, conical pipes and others. In this work one can get the detailed pressure distribution is not determined. This work presents and describes in detail the pressure field in tubes with arbitrary axisymetric cross sections. Details of the mathematical and physical formulations and modeling are given; specific conductance and specific throughput are defined; and a detailed discussion about the boundary conditions is given. These concepts and approach are applied to usual realistic cases, like conical tubes and bellows, with typical laboratory dimensions.

  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will use some 6400 superconducting corrector magnets. There are 19 corrector types. These are assembled 14 different types of magnets of which 4 are nested. They are being manufactured by 4 firms in Europe and 3 in India. The magnetic field quality is measured at room temperature by 12 magnetic measurement benches employed by the corrector manufacturers. CERN performs magnetic measurement at 4.2K and at 1.9K on a small subset of corrector magnets. The paper discusses the correlation between the warm and cold field measurements. The field quality is compared to the magnet design expectations and to the target field quality for LHC. Many corrector circuits will be powered in a way which cannot be predicted before LHC will start operation and which even then may change between physics runs. The measured magnetic hysteresis and its influence on possible setting errors during operation is discussed, in particular for the orbit correctors and the tuning/trim quadrupole magnet circuits.

  Some of the cryogenic components in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will operate at 4.5 K. The H2 desorption will rapidly increase to the saturated vapour pressure, 3 orders of magnitude larger than the design pressure. Therefore, the use of cryosorbers is mandatory to provide the required pumping capacity and pumping speed. The behaviour of a woven carbon fiber to be used as a cryosorber has been studied under H2 injection. The pumping speed and capacity measured in the range 6 to 30 K are described. Observations made with an electron microscope are shown. A proposed pumping mechanism and the implications to the LHC are discussed.

  We have measured the magnetic field of a considerable fraction of the superconducting LHC main dipoles, of the order of 300 in warm conditions and 100 in cold conditions. All LHC dipoles will be measured in warm conditions at the manufacturers to steer the production inside the acceptance limits imposed by beam dynamics. Using the available data we analysed the distributions of the main field and higher order field errors in warm and cold conditions, as well as the distribution of the warm-to-cold correlation. Based on this analysis we predict the minimum number of magnets that should be measured in cold conditions in order to guarantee that (1) the production is controlled within the specified limits (2) the field is known to a sufficient level for a sound installation and (3) the uncertainty on the knowledge of the magnetic field of the LHC dipoles is small enough for the commissioning of the accelerator and to insure operation of the machine in any condition, including higher energy. The main outcome of this analysis is that cold measurements on a fraction of the order of one third of the total production, i.e. approximately 400 dipoles, will be sufficient to achieve the above objectives.

  The decay of the sextupole component in the bending dipoles during injection and the subsequent snap-back at particle acceleration are issues of common concern, albeit at different levels of criticality, for all superconducting colliders built (Tevatron, HERA, RHIC) or in construction (LHC) to date. The main difficulty is the correction of the relatively large and fast sextupole change during snap-back. Motivated by the above considerations, we have conducted an extended study of sextupole snap-back on two different magnet families, the Tevatron and the LHC bending dipoles, using the same measurement method. We show in this paper that it is possible to generalise all the results obtained by using a simple, exponential scaling law. Furthermore, we show that for magnets of the same family the parameters of the scaling law correlate linearly. This finding could be exploited during accelerator operation to produce accurate forecast of the snap-back correction based solely on beam-based measurements.

  During the assembly of the LHC one of the challenges will be the correct wiring of the 1712 circuits powering the 10094 magnet units, for which all-together 70000 splices have to be done. Considering the complexity of the electrical scheme the risk of wrong wiring is high. Errors, if not detected during the assembly phase, will perturb the LHC operation. A method has been developed to verify automatically the cabling scheme. It first detects the continuity of a portion of circuit and then verifies the correct polarity and type of the magnets in the circuit. A 108-meter LHC cell is the shortest length that can be tested. The system is composed of a unit to be placed at the center of the cell and two de-multiplexers positioned at the extremities of the cell. The central unit contains a data acquisition system where in total 217 signals can be acquired and more than 3000 voltage combinations are possible. Pointing to different databases, a LabVIEW program automatically executes the test procedure, generates, and stores the reports. The hardware and software design, the data flow between databases, and the testing methodology applied to the different circuit types are described.

  The optics flexibility of the LHC insertions is provided by the individually powered quadrupoles in the dispersion suppressors and matching sections. These units comprise special quadrupole magnets of the MQM and MQY type and range in length from 5.4 m to 11.4 m. In total, 82 insertion quadrupoles will be assembled at CERN. In this paper we present the advance in construction and report on the performance of the first series built quadrupoles. In particular, we present the quench performance of the individual magnets and alignment measurements of the cold masses, and discuss the field quality trends and possible implications.

  • M. Coccoli, M. Buzio, J. Garcia Perez
    CERN, Geneva
  The installation and commissioning of the LHC dipoles requires the knowledge of the magnetic axis and of the spool piece corrector alignment at the operating conditions. The installation is based at present on the use of geometric information derived from mechanical measurements performed in warm conditions, with the assumption that the geometric and magnetic axis are coincident. Any discrepancies between mechanical and magnetic axis and unforeseen geometry variations from ambient to cold operating temperature can introuduce important uncertaintes in the prediction of the alignment at operational conditions. Such prediction is studied through correlations between measurements performed at room and liquid helium temperature. A statistic analysis of the measurement data available is presented showing uncertainties on the correctors alignment. They are compared with beam-based specifications of the positioning of the spool piece.

  At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN one of the fundamental requirements during the energy ramp is that the ratio between the field produced by the quadrupoles and the field in the dipoles remains constant in order to minimize the variation of the betatron tune that could induce particle loss. With a series of tracking experiments it has been demonstrated that this ratio can be maintained constant to better than 10-4 throughout the same current ramp as foreseen for the LHC. A technique has been developed to optimise the dipole and quadrupole current ramps to obtain the required ratio of B2/B1. Measurements performed by modulating the current with a harmonic function (so-called k-modulation) demonstrated that it is possible to modulate the strength of an individual quadrupole to determine the magnetic center through beam-based measurements.

  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the next accelerator being constructed on the CERN site to be operational in 2007. It will accelerate and collide 7 TeV protons and heavier ions up to lead. More than 2000 cryomagnets working at 1.9 or 4.5 k will form part of the magnetic lattice of the LHC. The transitions from cryogenic temperatures to room temperature zones will be achieved by 200 cold to warm transitions (CWTs). The CWTs will compensate for longitudinal and transversal displacements between beam screens and cold bores, ensuring vacuum continuity without limiting the aperture for the beam. The transverse impedance contribution is kept below the assigned total budget of 1 MΩ/m by means of a 5 μm thick Cu coating that also minimises the dynamic heat load through image currents. Tests have been performed that confirm that the static heat load per CWT to the cryomagnets remains below 2.5 W, hence validating the design.

  In the Large Hadron Collider 1232 superconducting dipoles will bend the two 7 TeV energy beams along a 27 km-circumference trajectory. The series production (assigned to three European firms) will require a well-defined procedure to check, in every magnet, the respect of the dimensional specifications. To verify the tolerances of few tenths of millimeter over the 15-meter length in each cold mass, a laser tracker is necessarily used. To access the two beam apertures and to increase the measurement accuracies, the laser tracker is placed in different stations around the dipole defining a 'multi-station measuring procedure'. The noise affecting all the data taken so far suggested a careful analysis of the procedure itself. Through the computer modeling (based on a Monte Carlo algorithm), the statistical error was quantified and compared to the experimental error. From this comparison the critical aspects of low accuracy rooted in the multi-station procedure were better understood, allowing the optimization of the procedure itself for the forthcoming series production.

  A Synchrotron Radiation Profile Monitor will be used in the LHC to measure the beam profiles from the injection energy of 450 GeV to the nominal energy of 7 TeV. The radiation will be provided by a sequence of two separate magnets: a two-periods 5 T superconducting undulator and the beam separation dipole D3. After a short description of the profile monitor layout, the paper reviews the electromagnetic and mechanical design of the undulator, and reports on the fabrication and cold test results of a first half period prototype.Finally, for the LHC operation with lead ion beams,a proposal for a monitor sensitivity upgrade by using a 12 T. superconducting undulator is presented and discussed.  
 
WEPKF018 Beam-loss Induced Pressure Rise of LHC Collimator Materials Irradiated with 158 GeV/u In49+ Ions at the CERN SPS ion, kicker, undulator, bunching 1633

  During heavy ion operation, large pressure rises, up to a few orders of magnitude, were observed at CERN, GSI, and BNL. The dynamic pressure rises were triggered by lost beam ions that impacted onto the vacuum chamber walls and desorbed about 104 to 107 molecules per ion. The deterioration of the dynamic vacuum conditions can enhance charge-exchange beam losses and can lead to beam instabilities or even to beam abortion triggered by vacuum interlocks. Consequently, a dedicated measurement of heavy-ion induced molecular desorption in the GeV/u energy range is important for LHC ion operation. In 2003, a desorption experiment was installed at the SPS to measure the beam-loss induced pressure rise of potential LHC collimator materials. Samples of bare graphite, sputter coated (Cu, TiZrV) graphite, and 316 LN stainless steel, were irradiated under grazing angle with 158 GeV/u indium ions. After a description of the new experimental set-up, the results of the pressure rise measurements are presented, and the derived desorption yields are compared with data from other experiments.

  The LHC lattice superconducting dipole magnets are actually under construction in three European industries. Due to the extremely high magnet performance required for the LHC, these magnets have to be built with high accuracy during all the steps of their assembling. In order to detect defects in the earliest production phases and to ensure the quality of the magnetic field as specified by the CERN contracts, dedicated measurement benches have been built and installed in each industry to validate the magnetic field quality at two important production stages. This paper describes the initial requirements and the implementation of the magnetic measurement systems. Details on the technical solutions, the present status and measurement results are presented.

  The main LHC superconducting magnets (dipoles and quadrupoles) are powered by using Rutherford type cables, stabilized electrically and thermally with copper profiles. The portions of cables are connected to each other by a soft soldering technique (Sn96Ag4) with the overlapping length corresponding to one pitch of the superconducting strands. The splice constitutes a ?composite? structure with the interchanging layers of Sn96Ag4 and NbTi superconductor, located inside a Cu cage. In order to assure a high level of reliability (failure probability not exceeding 10-8) for some 10000 connections in the LHC, a non-destructive technique of checking the quantity of solder in the joint is planned to be implemented. The technique is based on a gamma ray source (241_Am) and the detection is position-sensitive in the transmission mode. 5 scintillating detectors of gamma rays are used and their accumulated length corresponds to the length of the radioactive source (120 mm). The method can be used in-situ, the equipment being optimized and portable, with implementation of direct on-line operation mode. The relevant criteria of acceptance of the splices have been defined. The first results of application of this technique will be shown.

  This report describes the design issues that are associated with a superconducting focusing solenoid that goes around a liquid hydrogen absorber for the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) proposed for the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The solenoid consists of two superconducting coils that may operated at the same polarity or at opposite polarities. As a result, the coils and their support structure must be designed to carry a 300 ton inter-coil force that is forcing the coils apart along their axis. The basic design parameters for the focusing magnet are discussed. The magnet and its cryostat are designed so that the absorber can be assembled and tested before installation into the pre-tested focusing solenoid. A safety requirements for MICE dictate that the insulating vacuum for the superconducting magnet be separated from the insulating vacuum for the absorber and that both vacuum be separated from the experiment vacuum and the vacuum within adjacent RF cavities. The safety issues associated with the arrangement of the various vacuums in the MICE focusing modules are presented. The effect of magnet operation and magnet quench on the liquid hydrogen absorber is also discussed.  
 
WEPKF071 A New Current Regulator for the APS Storage Ring Correction Magnet Bipolar Switching Mode Power Converters vacuum, klystron, alignment, bunching 1768
 
  • J. Wang
    ANL, Argonne, Illinois
  The correction magnets in the Advanced Photon Source's storage ring are powered by PWM-controlled bipolar switching-mode converters. These converters are designed to operate at up to ± 150 A. The original current regulator used a polarity detection circuit, with a hysteresis, to determine which IGBT was needed to regulate the current with a given polarity. Only the required IGBT was switched while others were held on or off continuously. The overall IGBT switching losses were minimized by the design. The shortcoming of the design is that the converter's output is unstable near zero current because of the hysteresis. To improve the stability, a new current regulator, using a different PWM method, has been designed to eliminate the requirement of the polarity detection. With the new design, converters can operate smoothly in the full range of ±150 A. The new design also meets tighter specs in terms of the ripple current and dynamic response. This paper describes the design of the new regulator and the test results.

  The Fermilab Recycler is a fixed 3.3-km 8-GeV kinetic energy storage ring located in the Fermilab Main Injector tunnel. Each split-plate beam position monitor in the Recycler is also used to generated an ion clearing field for ions trapped by the antiproton beam. Approximately 100 locations have been instrumented with pico-amp meters to measure the electron current, generated by the beam-ionized residual gas in the vacuum chamber. This electron current is found to be proportional to the beam current and to the residual gas pressure in the Recycler and may be used to monitor the Recycler vacuum.

  After the LHC operates for several years at nominal parameters, it will be necessary to upgrade it for higher luminosity. Replacing the baseline NbTi low-beta quadrupoles with a higher performance magnets based on advanced superconducting materials and magnet technologies is one of the most straightforward ways in this direction. Preliminary studies show that high-performance Nb3Sn strands to be available within the next few years allow increasing the quadrupole aperture up to 110 mm using a 4-layer shell-type coil and providing the same 200 T/m field gradient with 20% margin as the baseline magnets. It will allow reduction of b* by a factor of 3. An alternative approach to the quadrupole design is based on simple flat racetrack coils. This paper discusses the possibilities and limitations of large-aperture racetrack quadrupole designs and compares them to the shell-type magnets.

  Production of 18 superconducting low-beta quadrupoles (MQXB) for the LHC is well advanced. These 5.5 m long magnets are designed to operate at 1.9 K with a peak field gradient of 215 T/m in the 70 mm apertures. Two MQXB cold masses with a dipole orbit corrector between them form a single cryogenic unit (LQXB) which is the Q2 optical element of the final focus triplets in the LHC interaction regions. A program of magnetic field quality and alignment measurements of the cold masses are performed at room temperature during magnet fabrication and LQXB assembly as well as at superfluid helium temperature. Results of these measurements are summarized in this paper.

  To optimize the performance of the Fermilab Tevatron accelerator in Collider Run II, we have undertaken a systematic study of the drift and subsequent snapback of dipole magnet harmonics. The study has mostly focused on the dynamic behavior of the normal sextupole component, b2, as measured in a sample of spare Tevatron dipoles at the Fermilab Magnet Test Facility. We measured the dependence of the decay amplitude and the snapback time on Tevatron ramp parameters and magnet operational history. A series of beam studies was also performed [*]. This paper summarizes the magnetic measurement results and describes an optimization of the b2 correction scheme which is derived from these measurements.

  The Next Generation Linear Collider (NLC) will require hundreds to thousands of pulse modulators to service more than 3300 klystrons. DTI recently investigated the use of a solid-state Marx switch topology for the NLC, and has transitioned this work into the development of a full-scale, 500 V solid state Marx system. Combined with recent advances in semiconductor technology and packaging, these efforts have moved the performance of the Marx pulser far ahead of early estimates. The Marx pulser eliminates the pulse transformer, which is associated with significant loss of performance and a 15-20% penalty in the efficiency of a conventional modulator. The increase in efficiency attributable to the Marx topology can account for over $100M in power cost savings over ten years of NLC operation, an amount comparable to the acquisition costs of the pulsed power systems. In this paper, DTI will discuss the design and development of the Marx Bank modulator. Its performance scales to 125 ns risetime (10-90%) for either a 500 kV, 265 A pulse (for one klystron), or a 500 kV, 530 A pulse (for two klystrons). The use of a unique, common mode inductive charging system allows transfer of filament power without separate isolation transformers.

  I present in this paper preliminary design concepts for LUX - A ?fast kicker design for rapid transfer of the electron beam between radiator beamlines. This paper is a very simple feasibility study to find a rougly optimized subset of engineering parameters that would satisfy the initial design specifications of: Pulse width < 30us, time jitter < 1ns, magnetic length < 0.5meter, gap hight = 15mm, gap width = 25mm, peak field = .6Tesla, bend angle = 1.7 deg. for beam energy of 3.1 Gev, repetition rate = 10KHz. An H magnet core configuration was chosen. Through an iterative mathematical process a realizable design was chosen. Peak current, Peak voltages across the coils, conductor losses due to proximity and skin effects, di/dt rates, eddy and beam current heating in the ceramic vacuum chamber, and basic circuit topology were investigated. Types and losses of core material were only briefly discussed. The final topology consists of two magnets in series running at 10KHz, .3Tesla, 630 amp peak current, 10us pulse width, 364 Watts per coil section, driven by fast solid state switch with an energy recovery inductor. Eddy and beam image current losses were ~ 164 watts.

  In the beam pipe of the positron damping ring of the Next Linear Collider, electrons will be created by beam interaction with the surrounding vacuum chamber wall and give rise to an electron cloud. Several solutions are possible for avoiding the electron cloud, without changing the beam bunch structure or the diameter of the vacuum chamber. Some of the currently available solutions include reducing residual gas ionization by the beam, minimizing photon-induced electron production, and lowering the secondary electron yield (SEY) of the chamber wall. We will report on recent SEY measurements performed at SLAC on TiN coatings and TiZrV non-evaporable getter thin films.

    SLAC, Menlo Park, California
  Recent advances in high voltage IGBT capabilities have made possible a range of novel solid-state modulator concepts that were unthinkable a decade ago. At present, there are two prototype solid-state modulator designs under evaluation at SLAC – A conventional pulse-transformer design using an 80kV solid-state switch in place of a thyratron, and an 'induction modulator', which uses a stack of magnetic cores to couple many paralleled primary windings to a common secondary winding. Both of these prototype modulators are currently driving actual klystron loads at SLAC. Another promising solid-state modulator concept still in the early stages of development is the Marx configuration – where an array of stacked modules generates high-voltage output pulses directly from a low DC input supply voltage. This scheme eliminates the large and costly magnetic cores inherent in the other two designs, resulting in a considerably simpler and cheaper mechanical solution. The main disadvantage to this approach is that the individual Marx sections must float at high voltages, complicating the distribution of power and timing signals. Several research groups have produced limited scale Marx prototypes in recent years. The largest prototype built to date [DTI] generates an output pulse of approximately 50kV, with plans to eventually move to higher voltage levels. This paper examines in closer detail the practical advantages and pitfalls of a solid-state Marx configuration, and explores a design approach with emphasis on performance, wall-plug efficiency, cost of manufacture, availability and ease of service. The paper presents electrical diagrams, mechanical CAD layout and preliminary prototype test data.

  Many materials and electronic devices need to be tested for the radiation environment expected at the proposed linear colliders (LC) where the accelerator and detectors will be subjected to large fluences of hadrons, electrons and gammas during the life of the facility. Examples are NdFeB permanent magnets which are being considered for the damping rings and final focus, electronic and electro-optical devices which will be utilized in the detector readout and accelerator control systems and CCDs required for the vertex detector. The effects of gammas on a broad range of materials was presented at NSREC2002 and our understanding of the current situation concerning rare earth permanent magnets at PAC2003 where a program was proposed using neutrons from the McClellan Nuclear Reactor Center (MNRC) that has a number of areas for irradiating samples with neutron fluxes up to 4.5·1013 n/cm2s. A specialized area allows irradiation with 1 MeV-equivalent neutrons with fluxes of 4.2·1010 n/cm2s while suppressing thermal neutrons and gammas by large factors. We give our latest results and their interpretation using this facility.

  The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL) has successfully commissioned SPEAR3, its newly upgraded 3-GeV synchrotron light source. First stored beam occurred December 15, 2003 and 100mA operation was reached on January 20, 2004. This paper describes the specification, design, and performance of the SPEAR3 intermediate DC magnet power supplies (IPS) that consist of tightly-regulated (better than 10 ppm) current sources ranging from 60 A to 500 A and output powers ranging from a few kW to 22.5kW. A total of 69 IPS are in successful operation. The SPEAR 3 upgrade performance and reliability requirements mandated new power supplies for both the SPEAR3 storage ring, and for the booster-to-SPEAR3 transport line. IPS are widely used at SPEAR3 to power single quadrupoles, dipoles, families of quadrupoles and sextupoles, and also on the Titanium sublimation pumps. IPS' topology allows them to be series operated for those magnet strings requiring higher voltages. A compact 19" standard rack-mounted design is common to all the units. These are off-line, switch-mode, operating at 16 kHz to reduce space and provide for fast output response and high efficiency.

WEPKF086 A Model for Determining Dipole, Quadrupole and Combined Function Magnet Costs bunching, site, quadrupole, electron 1807
 
  • R. Palmer, J.S. Berg
    BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York
  One of the most important considerations in designing large accelerators is cost. Magnet costs are a significant component of that. This paper describes a model for estimating magnet costs. The reasoning behind the cost model is explained, and the parameters of the model are chosen so as to correctly give the costs for existing magnets.

  The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is a next generation high intensity beam facility. Its Accumulator Ring Extraction Fast Kicker System is a very high peak power, high average power, high precision pulse-waveform, ultra-low beam impedance, and high repetition rated pulsed power system. It has been successfully design and developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This system will consist of fourteen identical high voltage modulators and fourteen extraction magnet sections located inside of the SNS accumulator ring. The overall system output will reach multiple GW peak power with 60 Pulse-per-second repetition rates. The techniques of reducing impedance, improving rise time, and minimizing ripples will be discussed. The lifetime considerations, issues of the system design, development and construction are presented in this paper.  
 
WEPLT001 Nonlinear Beam Dynamics Study with MATLAB bunching, site, quadrupole, beamloading 1813
 
  • Y.L. Martirosyan, M. Ivanyan, D. Kalantaryan
    CANDLE, Yerevan
  In this paper, we present description of MATLAB based computer code, which allows tracking of single particles by numerical integration of Hamilton's equations. For storage rings the damping time is of the order of few ms (102 '104 turns) and therefore the short-term stability time is determinant. For this reason symplecticity condition of the tracking method for the electron machines is not as important as in hadron machines. Applying recently introduced modern tools for post process analyzing, such as interpolated FFT, early indicators for long term stability, the determination of the onset of chaotic behavior using the maximal Lyapunov exponent, and etc, one can carry out simulations to evaluate the dynamic aperture, amplitude dependent tunes, phase space distortions, nonlinear resonances etc. The proposed code is applied for beam nonlinear dynamics study in CANDLE storage ring.

WEPLT005 Building Truncated Taylor Maps with Mathematica and Applications to FFAG bunching, site, quadrupole, beamloading 1822
 
  • D. Kaltchev
    TRIUMF, Vancouver
  Lie algebra tools coded directly in Mathematica have been used to compute the off-momentum closed orbit, orbit length and horizontal tune of Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) lattices proposed for muon acceleration. The sample FFAG cell considered consists of quadrupoles and alternating gradient magnets. A high order Taylor map is needed, valid over a wide momentum range. We describe the algorithm and Mathematica operators needed to create and concatenate individual element maps (presented as Lie exponential operators) and compare our results with those obtained with a high-order differential algebra code – COSY. The speed achieved is inferior to the differential algebra method.  
 
WEPLT006 Expected Performance and Beam-based Optimization of the LHC Collimation System bunching, site, quadrupole, beamloading 1825

    CERN, Geneva
  The cleaning efficiency requirements in the LHC are 2-3 orders of magnitude beyond the requirements at other super-conducting circular colliders. The achievable ideal cleaning efficiency in the LHC is presented and the deteriorating effects of various physics processes and imperfections are discussed in detail for the improved LHC collimation system. The longitudinal distribution of proton losses downstream of the betatron cleaning system are evaluated with a realistic aperture model of the LHC. The results from simplified tracking studies are compared to simulations with complete physics and error models. Possibilities for beam-based optimization of collimator settings are described.  
 
WEPLT007 Installation of the LHC Experimental Insertions bunching, site, quadrupole, beamloading 1828
 
  • S. Bartolome-Jimenez, G. Trinquart
    CERN, Geneva
  The installation of the LHC experimental insertions, and particularly the installation of the low-beta quadrupoles, raises many technical challenges due to the stringent alignment specifications and to the difficulty of access in very confined areas. The compact layout with many lattice elements, vacuum components, beam control instrumentations and the presence of shielding does not allow for any improvisation in the installation procedure. This paper reviews all the constraints that need to be taken into account when installing the experimental insertions. It describes the chronological sequence of installation and discusses the technical solutions that have been retained.

  The emittance growth caused by an electron cloud is simulated by the HEADTAIL code. The simulation result depends on the number of beam-cloud "interaction points"(IPs), the phase advance between the IPs, the number of macro-particles used to represent beam and cloud, and on the betatron tune. Simulations include a transverse feedback system and, optionally, a large chromaticity, as employed in actual SPS operation. Simulation results for the SPS are compared with observations, and the emittance growth in the LHC is computed as a function of the average electron density.  
 
WEPLT009 Dynamics of the Electron Pinch and Incoherent Tune Shift Induced by Electron Cloud bunching, proton, site, quadrupole 1834
 
  • E. Benedetto, F. Zimmermann
    CERN, Geneva
  When a proton bunch passes through an electron cloud, the cloud electrons are attracted by the beam electric field; their density strongly increases near the beam centre. This gives rise to an incoherent proton tune shift, which depends on the longitudinal and radial position within the bunch. We present an analytical description of the 'electron pinch' and the resulting proton tune shift, for a circular symmetry and a Gaussian cloud. Benchmarking and extending the results by computer simulations, we explore the effects of different longitudinal beam profiles and of the nonlinear transverse force.

  The dipole and quadrupole cold masses of the LHC machine require about 1700 heat exchanger tubes (HET). In operation the HET carries a two-phase flow of superfluid helium at sub-atmospheric pressure. The HET consists of an oxygen-free, seamless copper tube equipped with stainless steel ends. After an evaluation of different design alternatives, a design based on the technologies of vacuum brazing and electron beam welding has been adopted. Presence of these multiple technologies at CERN and synergies with the cleaning, handling and transport of other 15-metre components for LHC, motivated CERN to undertake this series fabrication on site. The raw copper tubes are procured in Industry, presenting challenging issues of geometric precision. Organisation of the HET fabrication includes cryomeasurements to validate cleaning procedures, characterization of welding procedures, buckling design by FEA and experimental verification, quality control during series production. The series fabrication of these long, multi-technological components is continuing successfully, respecting the project?s tight budgetary and planning constraints.  
 
WEPLT011 Transport and Handling of LHC Components: a Permanent Challenge bunching, proton, beamloading, beamlosses 1840
 
  • C. Bertone, I. Ruehl
    CERN, Geneva
  The LHC project, collider and experiments, is an assembly of thousands of elements, large or small, heavy or light, fragile. Every one of those has own transport requirements that constituting for us a real challenge to handle. The manoeuvres could be simple, but the complex environment and narrow underground spaces may lead to difficulties in integration, routing and execution. Examples of transport and handling of typical LHC elements will be detailed: the 17m long, 35t heavy but fragile cryomagnets from the surface to the final destination in the tunnel, the delicate cryogenic cold-boxes down to pits and detector components. This challenge did not only require a lot of imagination but also the close cooperation between all involved parties, in particular with colleagues from safety, cryogenics, civil engineering, integration and logistics.

  Space charge effects and intrabeam scattering usually play a minor role in high energy machines like the SPS. They can potentially become a limitation for the heavy ion beams needed for the LHC at the injection plateau in the SPS. Experimental studies on space charge limitations performed on low energy proton beams in the SPS will be described. Theoretical studies have been performed to predict emittance growth times due to intrabeam scattering using several different codes.

  • O. Capatina, K. Artoos, G. Huet, B. Nicquevert
    CERN, Geneva
  About 1700 LHC main superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles will have to be transported and handled between the assembly, the magnet measurements and the storage that precedes the final installation in the LHC tunnel. To ensure the required mechanic and geometric integrity of the cryo-magnets, transport specifications and allowed acceleration loads were defined after detailed dynamic analysis. A large number of cryo-magnets are now arriving at CERN on a regular basis. The logistics for the handling and transport are monitored with tri-axial acceleration monitoring devices that are installed on each cryo-magnet. Measurements are made to commission new equipment like overhead cranes, tunnel transport and handling devices to guarantee that the defined acceleration limits are respected. The results from the acceleration monitoring that are stored in the same quality assurance system as the cryo-magnets allowed to give a first idea of the level of the mechanical dynamic load on each magnet throughout the logistics chain and were used to detect details such as out-of-specification accelerations that needed improvement.  
 
WEPLT015 Proposal for the Creation and Storage of Long Bunches in the LHC acceleration, bunching, luminosity, beamloading 1849
 
  • H. Damerau, R. Garoby
    CERN, Geneva
  Long bunches with a uniform longitudinal line density held by barrier buckets are considered for a future luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). With such bunches, the luminosity is maximised for a fixed number of particles. Instead of conventional barrier buckets, periodic barriers are proposed. These are generated with multiple RF harmonics (e.g. multiples of 40 MHz). A possible scheme to create and hold long flat bunches in the LHC is described, and the resulting gain in luminosity is estimated.

  • K. Foraz, B. Nicquevert, D. Tommasini
    CERN, Geneva
  The particles traveling in the Large Hadron Collider are guided by superconducting magnets. The main magnets (cryodipoles) are 16 m long, 30 tons objects placed with accuracies of few tenths of mm and therefore imposing challenging requirements for handling and transportation. Numerous contracts are constraining the production and installation of these cryodipoles. These contracts have been rated according to the baseline schedule, based on a "just in time" scheme. However the complexity of the construction and the time required to fully test the cryodipoles before installation in the LHC required to decouple as much as possible each contract from the others' evolutions and imposed temporary storage between different assembly and test steps. Therefore a tool simulating the logistics was created in order to determine the number of cryodipoles to store at the various stages of their production. In this paper the organization of cryodipole flow and the main challenges of logistics are analyzed on the basis of the planning of each main step before installation. Finally the solutions implemented for storage, handling and transportation are presented and discussed.

  A wide range of magnets, both warm and superconducting, will be used in the LHC. In addition to main dipoles, quadrupoles are used to focus the beam in regular arcs. Special dipoles separate or merge the two beams in insertion regions. A few very strong superconducting quadrupoles squeeze the beam to achieve the required luminosity, while warm quadrupoles are used in the collimation insertions. At injection the main dipoles largely dominate beam dynamics, but contributions from smaller classes of magnets should not be neglected. Peculiar optical configurations may dramatically enhance beam dynamics effects of few magnetic elements. This paper will focus on the effect of insertion quadrupoles, e.g. wide-aperture, and warm quadrupoles, as well as separation dipoles presenting on the dynamic aperture of the LHC machine.  
 
WEPLT018 Nonlinear Dynamics Studies at the CERN Proton Synchrotron: Precise Measurements of Islands Parameters for the Novel Multi-turn Extraction acceleration, bunching, insertion, beamloading 1858
 
  • M. Giovannozzi, P. Scaramuzzi
    CERN, Geneva
  Recently, a novel approach to perform multi-turn extraction from a circular accelerator was proposed. It is based on adiabatic capture of particles into islands of transverse phase space generated by nonlinear resonances. Sextupole and octupole magnets are used to generate these islands, while an appropriate slow variation of the linear tune allows particles to be trapped inside the islands. Intense experimental efforts showed that the approach is indeed performing rather well. However, good knowledge of the islands properties is a key ingredient for the success of this extraction type. In this paper, a series of measurements are presented dealing with the study of islands' parameters for the fourth-order resonance, such as detuning with amplitude, fixed points' position, betatron frequency, as well as detuning with amplitude inside the islands.

  Several different CAD systems are in use at CERN today. Most of the 3D design work for the LHC is being done using Euclid from MDTVision. For 2D design work AutoCAD is widely used. Also, various special design tools exist for tasks such as electrical design and schematics. Even though LHC design will be finished with Euclid, it has been clear since several years that a new 3D CAD system will be needed in the future. For this reason CERN carried out a comparison between the currently available 3D CAD software using a set of selection criteria important for CERN. The selected system was CATIA from Dassault together with local data base system SmarTeam. The aim is to use CATIA as a multi-disciplinary general purpose CAD tool which could eventually replace almost all of the other CAD systems at CERN. For this purpose, CATIA and SmarTeam are being integrated with the existing CAD utilities and data base systems developed in-house. Pilot users are using the system for real designs and the digital mock-up features of CATIA are used for integration studies of LHC experiments. The feature list of CATIA and SmarTeam is impressive and experience with the software has so far been almost exclusively positive. This is promising for software with which CERN will likely have to live for the next 20 years or more.  
 
WEPLT020 Installation of A Particle Accelerator: from Theory to Practice. The LHC Example acceleration, bunching, insertion, beamloading 1864
 
  • C. Hauviller, S. Weisz
    CERN, Geneva
  Installing and commissioning the thousands of equipments constituting a Particle Accelerator is a lengthy and complex process. A large number of multidisciplinary teams are involved over a long period lasting usually many years. Diverse boundary constrains must be taken into account: space, a long and narrow tunnel with few accesses, time, with milestones set many years in advance, and obviously budget. A strict organisation associated with the management tools and the right people is the only way to arrive to a success. The keywords are: Knowledge: A unique and up-to-date database of all the elements and their location, Integration: Study the physical position of the elements, suppress the interferences and define the installation methodology, Prevision: Schedule all the activities and update on-line, In-situ management and supervision: Teams dedicated to follow-up, corrective actions and orphan jobs, Safety. After presenting the planned overall organization, the paper will present practical achievements with the example of the LHC machine installation.

  CERN is building its new accelerator, the LHC. All the data flow generated during its lifecycle is stored in the EDMS (Engineering Data Management System) developed at CERN. For such a system it is compulsory to have a performant search mechanism to guarantee that the involved people gets the data at the required time. Due to the size of the collection and the diversity of people, organizations, divisions . To overcome this problem, an approach based on a hand-crafted domain specific ontology has been tested in order to improve the information retrieval task within the technical documentation for the LHC Equipment Catalog. The experiments have shown that using the ontology an improvement on the base line has been produced and encorages IE techniques to refine the base ontology.

  The arcs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will contain around 1700 main superconducting dipoles and quadrupoles. The long and heavy magnets are supported on fragile composite support posts inside a cryostat to reduce the heat in-leak to the magnets' super fluid helium bath. The presence of fragile components and the need to avoid geometry changes make the cryo-magnets very difficult to handle and transport. The transport and installation of the LHC cryo-magnets in the LEP tunnels originally designed for smaller, lighter LEP magnets has required development of completely new handling solutions. The paper explains the constraints imposed by the cryo-magnet characteristics, the existing tunnel infrastructure and schedule considerations. The development and realisation of transport and handling solutions are described, starting from conceptual design, through manufacture and testing to the installation of the first cryo-magnet. Integration studies to verify and reserve space needed for manoeuvre and the preparation of the infrastructure for transport and installation operations are also presented. The paper includes conclusions and some of the lessons learned.

  • L. Lari, H. Gaillard, V. Mertens
    CERN, Geneva
  The installation of the two LHC injection lines has to fit within tight milestones of the LHC project and of CERN?s accelerator activity in general. For instance, the transfer line from the SPS to LHC point 8 (to fill the anti-clockwise LHC ring) should be tested with beam before the end of 2004 since the SPS will not run in 2005. It will first serve during the LHC sector test in 2006. Time constraints are also very strong on the installation of the transfer line from the SPS to LHC point 2 (for the clockwise LHC ring): its tunnel is the sole access for the LHC cryo-magnets and a large part of the beam line can only be installed once practically all LHC cryo-magnets are in place. Of course, the line must be operational when the LHC starts. This paper presents the various constraints and how they are taken into account for the logistics and installation planning of the LHC injection lines.

  The LHC project has entered a phase of integration and installation of thousands of diverse components. The Hardware Commissioning work has also started. Collecting and distributing reliable and coherent information on the equipments and their layout becomes a crucial requirement in the lifecycle of the project. Existing database tools had to evolve to a more generic model to cover not only optical layout, but also the mechanical and the electrical aspects. This paper explains the requirements, the implementation and the benefits of this new database model.

  The systematic dodecapole component in the Main Quadrupoles of the LHC lattice has a strong influence on the machine dynamic aperture at injection. In this paper we quantify this effect with the help of tracking studies, explain the mechanism for the loss in dynamic aperture and look into potential correction schemes. Finally, we provide an estimate for the maximum allowed systematic dodecapole component in the MQ.

  • S. Marque, T. Colombet, M. Genet, B. Skoczen

  The lattice of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) being built at CERN is based on 8 standard arcs of 2.8 km length. Each arc is bounded on either side by Dispersion Suppressors connected to the arc by connection cryostats providing 15m long drift spaces. As for a dipole magnet, the connection cryostat provides a continuity of beam and insulation vacuum, electrical powering, cryogenic circuits, thermal and radiation shielding. In total 16 modules will be constructed. The stringent functional specification has led to various analyses. Among them, a light mechanical structure has been developed to obtain a stiffness comparable to a dipole magnet, for alignment purpose. Thermal studies, included λ front propagation, have been performed to ensure a cooling time down to 1.9K within the time budget. A special cooling scheme around the beam tubes has been chosen to cope with heat loads produced during operation. We will report on the general design of the module and on the manufacturing process adopted to guarantee the tight alignment of the beam tubes once the module installed in the machine. Special emphasis will be given on thermo-mechanical analysis, λ front propagation and on beam-tubes cooling scheme.

  For the high brilliance LHC ultimate beam and the high intensity CNGS beam, single batch injections into the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) will be used to increase the overall machine intensity compared with the present double batch injections. Charge-exchange injection into the PS Booster with a new linac at intermediate energies is thus examined. A key parameter to consider is the energy dependence of beam incoherent tune shifts at injection. Increasing the linac energy from the present 50 MeV to 160 MeV should yield a safer tune shift. For each PS Booster ring, a charge-exchange injection scheme is envisaged inside a proper straight section, redesigned with new bends to make a local bump and using the existing fast bump magnets for horizontal phase-space painting. ACCSIM simulations for charge-exchange injection at 160 MeV have been investigated for both LHC and CNGS beams. After optimizing the parameters that are used for the space charge tracking routines, the results of the simulations agree well with expectations, signifying that the LHC ultimate and CNGS beams may be provided with single PS Booster batches within the required emittances. For assessment, simulation of injection at 50 MeV for the current LHC beam has been performed, yielding a fairly good agreement with measured performance. Concurrently, similar charge-exchange injection simulations have been carried out using an alternative programme developed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

  An intensive study has been undertaken since the year 2002 to understand better the various high-intensity bottlenecks of the CERN Proton Synchrotron machine. One of these limitations comes from the so-called Montague resonance. High-intensity proton synchrotrons, having larger horizontal than vertical emittance, may suffer from this fourth-order coupling resonance driven by space charge only. In particular, such resonance may lead to emittance sharing and, possibly, beam loss due to vertical acceptance limitation. Experimental observations made in the 2002 and 2003 runs on the Montague resonance are presented in this paper and compared with 3D particle-in-cell simulation results and theoretical predictions.  
 
WEPLT030 Stability Diagrams for Landau Damping with Two-dimensional Betatron Tune Spread from Both Octupoles and Non-linear Space Charge applied to the LHC at Injection acceleration, resonance, booster, bunching 1894
 
  • E. Métral, F. Ruggiero
    CERN, Geneva
  The joint effect of space-charge non-linearities and octupole lenses is discussed for the case of a quasi-parabolic transverse distribution of a monochromatic beam. The self-consistent non-linear space-charge tune shift corresponding to the above distribution function is first derived analytically. The exact dispersion relation is also given but not solved. Instead, noting that a good approximation of the non-linear space-charge tune shift is obtained considering only linear terms in the action variables, the dispersion relation is solved analytically in this approximate case. As expected, in the absence of external (octupolar) non-linearities, the result of Möhl and Schönauer is recovered: there is no stability region. In the absence of space charge, the stability diagrams of Berg and Ruggiero are also recovered. Finally, the new result is applied to the LHC at injection.

  The LHC complex is divided into a number of zones with different levels of access controls. Inside the interlocked areas, the personnel protection is ensured by the LHC Access System. This system is made of two parts: the LHC Access Safety System and the LHC Access Control System. During machine operation, the LHC Access Safety System ensures the collective protection of the personnel against the hazards arising from the operation of the accelerator. By interlocking the LHC key safety elements, it will permit access to authorised personnel in the underground premises during the accelerator shutdowns and will deny access during accelerator operation. On the other hand, the LHC Access Control System, regulates the access to the accelerator and the numerous support systems. It allows a remote, local or automatic operation of the access control equipment that verifies the users? authorization, identifies them, locks and unlocks access control equipment and restricts the number of users working simultaneously in the interlocked areas. This paper introduces the main functions, architecture, technologies and methodology used to realise the LHC Access system.

  A state of the art radiation monitoring and alarm system is being implemented at CERN for the LHC. The RAdiation Monitoring System for the Environment and Safety (RAMSES) comprises about 350 monitors and provides ambient dose equivalent rates measured in the LHC underground areas as well as on the surface inside and outside the CERN perimeter. In addition, it monitors air and water released from the LHC installations. Although originally conceived for radiation protection only, RAMSES also integrates some conventional environmental measurements such as physical and chemical parameters of released water and levels of non-ionizing radiation in the environment. RAMSES generates local radiation warnings, local alarms as well as remote alarms on other monitored variables, which are transmitted to control rooms. It generates operational interlocks, allows remote supervision of all measured variables as well as data logging and safe, long-term archiving for off-line data analysis and reporting. Requirements of recent national and international regulations in combination with CERN's specific technical needs were translated into the RAMSES specifications. This paper outlines the scope, the organization, the main system performance and the system design.

  The matched voltage of the LHC beam at injection into the SPS is 750 kV. However, even with RF feedback and feed forward systems in operation, the relative particle losses on the flat bottom for nominal LHC parameters with this capture voltage can reach the 30% level. With voltages as high as 2 MV these losses are still around 15% pushing the intensity in the SPS injectors to the limit to obtain nominal intensity beam for the LHC. Beam losses grow with intensity and are always asymmetric in energy (lost particles are seen main in front of the batch). The asymmetry can be explained by the energy loss of particles due to the SPS impedance which is also responsible for a non-zero synchronous phase on the flat bottom leading to large gaps between buckets. In this paper the measurements of the dependence of particles loss on the beam and machine parameters are presented and discussed together with possible loss mechanisms.

  The dependence of energy loss on bunch length was determined experimentally for a single proton bunch in the SPS at 26 GeV/c. This was done from measurements of the synchronous phase as a function of intensity for different capture voltages. The results are compared with the expected dependence calculated from the resistive part of the SPS impedance below 1 GHz. Two impedance sources, the cavities of the 200 MHz RF system and the extraction kickers, give the main contributions to particle energy loss in very good agreement with experiment. The results obtained allow a better understanding of some mechanisms leading to capture loss of the high intensity LHC beam in the SPS.

  High brightness and high intensity beams are required from the PS Booster for LHC, CNGS and ISOLDE operation. The large space charge tune spreads associated with these beams, especially at injection, require an optimized resonance compensation scheme to avoid beam blow-up and subsequent beam losses. For this a detailed knowledge on strength and phase of resonance driving terms is needed. A new measurement system has been installed to determine resonance driving terms from turn-by-turn bpm data using fast Fourier transform. The multi-turn acquisition system as well as the specific measurement conditions at the PS Booster are discussed. As an example, the measurement and compensation of the linear coupling resonance driving term is presented. Excellent agreement between measurement and simulation for resonance phase and strength was found.  
 
WEPLT039 Measurement and Compensation of Second and Third Order Resonances at the CERN PS Booster radiation, acceleration, resonance, bunching 1915
 
  • P. Urschütz
    CERN, Geneva
  Space charge effects at injection are the most limiting factor for the production of high brightness beams in the CERN PS Booster. The beams for LHC, CNGS and ISOLDE feature incoherent tune spreads exceeding 0.5 at injection energy and thus cover a large area in the tune diagram. Consequently these beams experience the effects of transverse betatron resonances and efficient compensation is required. Several measurements have been performed at the PS Booster in 2003, aiming at a detailed analysis of all relevant second and third order resonances and an optimisation of the compensation scheme. Special attention was paid to the systematic 3Qy=16 resonance. To avoid this particularly dangerous resonance an alternative working point was tested. A comparison of resonance driving terms and compensation settings for both working points was made and important differences in the strengths of the resonances were found. The peculiarities when measuring third order coupling resonance driving terms are also mentioned.

  The team in charge of the LHC integration largely uses 3D scenes combining functional positions of equipments and the 3D CAD model issued from the Cern Drawing Directory (CDD) repository. This is made possible through the Digital Mock-Up tool developed at CERN. Giving dimensions in 3D context is a challenge with the current 3D CAD tools used at CERN. Requirements from users groups have made clear a need for automatic production of 2D layout drawings. This paper presents the retained solution to create on-request dimensioned drawings, to publish them, while maintaining coherence and consistency with the 3D integration scenes. Reliability of the information, on-line availability of the latest layout changes on dimensions and positions of equipments, and the maintenance of the facility will also be described.  
 
WEPLT041 RF Amplitude Modulation to Suppress Longitudinal Coupled Bunch Instabilities in the SPS radiation, resonance, bunching, booster 1921
 
  • E. Vogel, T. Bohl, U. Wehrle
    CERN, Geneva
  In the SPS, even after a considerable impedance reduction including the removal of all RF cavities used for lepton acceleration in the past, longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities develop with an LHC beam of about one fifth of the nominal bunch intensity. The nominal LHC beam is stabilised using both, the 800 MHz Landau damping cavities, in bunch shortening mode, and pre-emptive emittance blow-up. An alternative method to increase the synchrotron frequency spread and thus stabilise the beam is amplitude modulation of the accelerating RF voltage. This method might be especially suitable in accelerators without a higher harmonic RF system, as will be the case in LHC. The main results of recent studies using this method in the SPS and considerations about its use in LHC are presented.

  The size and complexity of the LHC project at CERN calls for a strong co-ordination of all installation activities. The detailed installation planning has to take into account many constraints such as the component production rates, the installation contracts or the transport and handling requirements in a narrow tunnel with limited access points. The planning also needs to be flexible enough to cope with aleas that are unavoidable in such a large project that spans over many years. This paper describes the methodology followed by the team responsible for the planning and logistics in order to stay reactive to the actual progress of the installation and to keep optimizing the usage of resources.  
 
WEPLT043 Detecting Failures in Electrical Circuits Leading to Very Fast Beam Losses in the LHC radiation, resonance, bunching, booster 1927
 
  • M. Zerlauth, B. Goddard, V. Kain, R. Schmidt
    CERN, Geneva
  Depending on the beam optics, failures in the magnet powering at locations with large beta functions could lead to very fast beam losses at the collimators, possibly within less than 10 turns. Beam loss monitors would normally detect such losses and trigger a beam dump. However, the available time for detection with beam loss monitors before reaching the damage level of a collimator might not be sufficient, in particular for beams with few particles in the tails. This has always been of concern and becomes even more relevant since very fast losses have been observed recently at HERA. In this paper, we present particle tracking studies for the LHC to identify failures on critical magnets. We propose a fast detection of such failures in the electrical circuit, either with highly precise hall probes for current measurement or measurements of the induced inductive voltage during the current decay. In combination with a small and simple interlock electronics such detection system can provide reliable and fast interlock signals for critical magnets in the LHC main ring but could also be used to monitor injection and extraction magnets. Depending on the properties of the electrical circuit an increase of the natural time constant of the current decay using a serial superconducting magnet is also considered.

  We compare the predications of electron-cloud build-up simulations with measurements at the CERN SPS. Specifically, we compare the electron flux at the wall, electron-energy spectra, heat loads, and the spatial distribution of the electrons for two different bunch spacings, with variable magnetic fields, and for several chamber temperatures and associated surface conditions. The simulations employ a modified, improved version of the ECLOUD code. The main changes are briefly described. We finally present updated simulation results for the heat load in the cold LHC arcs.

  • F. Zimmermann, J.-P. Koutchouk, J. Wenninger
    CERN, Geneva
  Long-range beam-beam collisions may limit the dynamic aperture and the beam lifetime in storage-ring colliders. Their effect can be compensated by a current-carrying wire mounted parallel to the beam. A compensation scheme based on this principle has been proposed for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). To demonstrate its viability, a prototype wire was installed at the CERN SPS in 2002. First successful machine experiments explored the dependence of beam loss, beam size, and beam lifetime on the beam-wire distance and on the wire excitation. They appear to confirm the predicted effect of the long-range collisions on the beam dynamics. In 2004, two further wires will become available, by which we can explicitly demonstrate the compensation, study pertinent tolerances, and also compare the respective merits of different beam-beam crossing schemes for several interaction points.

  • F. Zimmermann, G. Arduini, C. Carli
    CERN, Geneva
  Multi-turn beam-position data recorded after beam excitation can be used to extract the betatron-phase advance between adjacent beam position monitors (BPMs) by a harmonic analysis. Performing this treatment for different beam intensities yields the change in phase advance with current. A local impedance contributes to the average tune shift with current, but, more importantly, it also causes a mismatch and phase beating. We describe an attempt to determine the localized impedance around the SPS ring by fitting the measured betatron phase shift with current at all BPMs to the expected impedance response matrix.

  A significant increase of the beam intensity increase of the PSI 590 MeV proton accelerator facility above 2 mA requires a higher accelerating voltage in the main RF cavities. A corresponding increase of the voltage in the flattop cavity would result in a complete rebuild of this device. As an alternative, a scheme with a strong buncher in the 72 MeV beam transfer line is being studied. The goal is to restore the narrow phase width (~ 2 deg/RF at 50 MHz) of the beam bunches observed at extraction from Injector 2 at injection into the Ring Cyclotron. If we can find and inject a stable particle distribution, as done in the Injector 2, the flat-top cavity might eventually be decommissioned. First results of multi particle tracking in full 6 dimensional phase space with space charge are presented.  
 
WEPLT049 Timekeeping Mechanism at SLS/APS Control System radiation, resonance, bunching, impedance 1945
 
  • B. Kalantari, T. Korhonen
    PSI, Villigen
  Time is one of the most important and critical parameters in a distributed control and measurement system. It is especially crucial when we need to interpret correlation of different archived process variables (PV) during the time. Advanced Light Source (APS) and Swiss Light Source (SLS) are using a very similar control system toolkit (EPICS) and the same mechanism for timekeeping. Many input/output controllers (IOC) around the accelerator complex (including beamlines), run under a real-time operating system, and carry out the controls and data acquisition. Each IOC is responsible of keeping its own local time and time-stamps the local PV?s but tightly synchronized with a central timing IOC. Dedicated timing hardware and network makes it possible to maintain synchronous timestamps with real-time clock. In this paper we describe the principle of this mechanism, its advantages, our experiences and further improvements.

  With two dedicated diagnostic kicker magnets and a turn-by-turn, bunch-by-bunch beam position monitor frequency maps were measured under various operating conditions of the BESSY storage ring. Depending on the number and type of insertion devices in operation additional resonances show up. Details of the experimental setup as well as the data analysis are presented. The results will be compared with theoretical calculations which are based on the linear model of the storage ring lattice extracted from measured response matrices. Non-linear elements are added to the model in order to describe the effect of the strong sextupole magnets, the horizontal corrector magnets installed in these magnets, and of some of the insertion devices.

  BESSY is a low emittance, 1.7 Gev electron storage ring. A dedicated, low alpha optics is applied to produce short electron bunches for coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the THz range[*]. By a further detuning of the optics, stable pulses as short as 0.7 ps rms length were produced. The sub-ps pulse shape is analysed by an auto-correlation method of the emitted CSR. The CSR-bursting instability is measured and compared with theory to estimate the current for stable, sub-ps pulses. Present limits of the low alpha optics are discussed.

  In the SIS-18 of GSI a new set of skew quadrupoles has been installed to improve the multi-turn-injection. A new method based on the measurement of the resonance driving terms has been proposed to cross-check the nominal values and polarities of their gradients. Once a beam is transversely kicked, it experiences oscillations whose spectrum contains both the betatron tune line and secondary lines. The amplitude of each line is proportional to the strength of the multipoles, such as skew quadrupoles and sextupoles, present in the lattice. In this paper a recursive algorithm to derive the magnet strength from the spectral lines and the application of this method to the eight skew quadrupoles in the SIS-18 are presented.

  In high-intensity accelerators emittance coupling, known as Montague resonance, may be an issue if the tune split is small. For static tunes within the stop-band of this fourth order space charge driven coupling the final emittances may become equal (equipartition). Using 2D computer simulation we show, however, that slow crossing of the resonance leads to merely an exchange of emittances. In 3D this is similar, if the crossing occurs over a time-scale shorter or comparable with a synchrotron period. For much slower crossing we find, instead, that the exchange may be suppressed by synchrotron motion. We explain this effect in terms of the mixing caused by the synchrotron motion.

  Electrons could in principle accumulate in the potential of coasting beams of positively charged particles until a balance between the beam force and space charge force from the electrons is reached. But the continuous interaction between a non-ideal perturbed coasting beam and the cloud of electrons being trapped by it, together with the reflection and secondary emission processes at the inner pipe wall, can alter this picture and cause a combined cloud or beam transverse instability long before the concentration of electrons reaches the theoretical equilibrium value. The issue is addressed in this paper by means of combined build-up and instability simulations carried out with the HEADTAIL code.

    GSI, Darmstadt
  The existence of an ordered beam state for low intensity, electron cooled heavy ion beams has been evidenced by a sudden reduction of the momentum spread. The detection of a similar effect in the transverse degree of freedom by non-destructive diagnostics is ruled out by the limited resolution of beam profile detectors. A method to probe the horizontal beam size of an electron cooled beam in a dispersive section has been developed. It is based on beam scraping and allows a resolution on the order of micrometers. This good transverse resolution for the cooled ion beam is achieved by precise changes of the ion energy which is varied by changes of the electron beam energy. The lower resolution limit due to power supply ripple is estimated to be below 1 micrometer. This method evidenced that the reduction of the momentum spread by one order of magnitude coincides with a reduction of the transverse beam emittance by 2-3 orders of magnitude, at least. A horizontal beam radius of a few micrometer could be demonstrated for electron cooled heavy ion beams with less than 1000 particles. This gives new evidence for the formation of an ordered beam arranged as a linear string of ions.

  The HESR storage ring in the proposed new international accelerator facility will provide high quality antiproton beams for experiments with an internal target. In order to achieve the design luminosity for collisions with a hydrogen target powerful beam cooling is required. For dedicated experiments ultimate resolution is demanded. Therefore it is foreseen to provide cooled antiproton beams in the energy range 0.8-14 GeV with an energy spread of 100 keV or better. According to computer simulations the required cooling rates can be achieved by electron cooling with an electron current of 1 A. The conceptual design of an electron beam device which is based on electrostatic acceleration of the electrons and their transport in longitudinal magnetic fields into a cooling section with a strong magnetic field of up to 0.5 T will be presented. This design will allow cooling in the magnetized regime in order to reach the required high cooling rates. Some novel features for the generation and regulation of the accelerating voltage and for the beam transport are proposed.

  The High Energy Storage Ring HESR is part of the "International Accelerator Facility for Ion and Antiproton Beams" proposed at GSI. For internal target experiments with antiproton beams in the energy range 0.8 GeV to 14.5 GeV a maximum luminosity of 5 inverse nbarn per second and a momentum resolution on the order of 10 ppm have to be attained. Electron cooling is assumed to be the most effective way to counteract beam heating due to target effects and intra-beam scattering. Cooling times and equilibrium parameters have been determined by means of three different computer codes: BETACOOL, MOCAC, and PTARGET. The results reveal that the development of fast, "magnetized" electron cooling with beam currents of up to 1 A and variable electron energies of up to 8 MeV in an extremely homogeneous longitudinal magnetic field of up to 0.5 T is crucial to achieve the required equilibrium beam parameters over the envisaged range of antiproton energies.

  For the GSI future project beam loss control of a high intensity bunched beam stored in SIS100 for 106 turns is an important issue. In a recent study (G. Franchetti et al., Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 6, 124201 (2003)) an analytical space charge algorithm was proposed, which allowed noise-free calculations over a large number of turns. Here we present a generalization of this algorithm to arbitrary 3D dimensions and arbitrary distributions observing ellipsoidal symmetry. Applications to long-term tracking with space charge are presented

  In long term storage dynamic aperture is typically regarded as the quantity which has to be maintained sufficiently large in order to prevent beam loss. In the SIS100 of the GSI future project, a beam size occupying a large fraction of the beam pipe is foreseen. This circumstance requires a careful description of the lattice magnetic imperfections. The dynamic aperture is estimated in relation with an optimization of the SIS100 working point. For a space-charge-free bunched beam, estimates of beam loss are computed and compared with dynamic aperture. The impact of space charge will be discussed, and preliminary results on its effect on dynamic aperture and beam loss are presented.

  It is planned to use linear coupling in the SIS18 in order to fully or partially equilibrate the transverse emittances before transfer to the projected SIS100 synchrotron. In this paper we show that space charge significantly modifies the coupling mechanism. In particular the width of the stop-band is dominated by the space charge tune shift for weak skew strength. The conditions are discussed, under which slow crossing of the coupling resonance leads to the desired goal of equalizing emittances while maintaining a sufficient matching of the beam to the ring and extraction optics.

    TEMF, Darmstadt
  For detailed analysis of space charge dominated beams inside an RF Photoinjector PIC-Codes like MAFIA TS2/3 can be used. While the interaction of particles with the sourrounding geometries are taken into account, the applicability of such codes is restricted due to simulation time and memory consumption as well as by numercial noise. Therefore only smaller sections of the whole injector can be calculated. On the other hand codes like ASTRA can be used to simulate the whole injector but no interaction between bunch and geometry is included. To make use of the individual advantages of each code discribed above an interface for bidirectional bunch exchange between the two programs has been implemented. This approach allows for applying the right simulation method depending on the physical effects under investigation. To demonstrate the importance of such an approach the results of detailed numerical studies of the impact of beam tube obstacles like the laser mirror on the achievable emittance of the PITZ RF Photoinjector further downstream will be presented.

The wake potentials of the LOLA-IV structure and the 3rd harmonic section are calculated numerically for very short bunches and analytical approximations for wake functions in short and long ranges are obtained by fitting procedures based on analytical estimations. The numerical results are obtained with code ECHO for high relativistic Gaussian bunches with RMS deviation up to 0.015 mm. The calculations are carried out for the complete structures (including bellows, rounding of the irises and the different end cell geometries) supplied with ingoing and outgoing pipes. The low frequency spectra of the wake potentials is calculated using the Prony-Pisarenko method.

  The narrowband impedances of RF-resonators in a circular accelerator can drive coupled bunch mode - CBI - instabilities which might spoil the overall beam quality. Often, as in synchrotron radiation light sources e.g. the instability does not lead to beam loss but to a severe degradation of the source brilliance. Investigations of longitudinal CBIs have been performed at the DELTA storage ring with a single DORIS-type cavity for future comparision with the behaviour of a HOM-damped cavity to be tested at DELTA. This resonator is presently developed and built within an EU-collaboration. The beam was deliberately driven into instability using the beam current as well as the cavity temperature as individual parameters. The instability characterisations at low (542 MeV) and high (1,5 GeV) energy exhibit a complex behaviour. The strength of the instability measured by the bunch excursions in the case of longitudinal CBIs, but also the spreading of the instability across neighbouring modes depends on parameters such as beam energy, resonant impedance but also on counteracting mechanisms like synchrotron radiation and Landau damping. The paper will cover the experimental results together with estimations of the influence and mechanism of Landau damping.

  • M. Vogt
    DESY, Hamburg
  During the first year after the luminosity upgrade HERA-e was operated in a mode for which the accessible area in transverse tune space was determined by resonances driven by sextupoles in 2-nd order. It turned out that with typical total incoherent beam beam tune shifts (.05,.08) for 2 IPs this space was too small for stable operation. We have used 2-nd order canonical perturbation theory to analyze the impact of the increased sextupole strengths in the upgraded lattice on the relevant resonance strengths and the detuning. Moreover, we have studied whether it is possible to compensate the resonances with localized octupole schemes (6 or 9 independent magnets) to 1-st and 2-nd order, computed the resulting detuning and compared the results with 6D tracking.

  Wet water cooling towers in high energy physics accelerators are state of the art. The advantages are robustness, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. The return water temperature is lower than the air temperature due to cooling via evaporation. The disadvantages are the high water consumption, which becomes more costly in the future, and the soiling of the heat exchangers. If the water source is taken from wells then the drawdown of the ground water level has to be taken into account. DESY plans to use hybrid dry coolers for the two future projects: The XFEL linac and the PETRA 3 synchrotron light source. A hybrid dry cooler is a combination of a dry air cooler during cold and moderate seasons and additional wet cooling during the hot summer season. The cooling surface is wetted by adding water to increase the cooling capability by a factor of 250 %. The hybrid dry cooler saves a lot of water. The water consumption can be reduced by 70% compared to a wet cooling system. This contribution presents the auxiliary water consumption, the requirement of this water and an estimate of the temperature control behaviour of the hybrid dry cooling system.

  • Y.L. Li, K. Balewski, W. Decking
    DESY, Hamburg
  Damping wigglers will be installed in the storage ring PETRA III to control the beam emittance to 1 nmrad. These wigglers will produce linear and nonlinear perturbations on beam dynamics. A new expanded transport matrix method is developed to solve linear dynamics, and used to match linear lattice functions. The symplectic method is adopted to track particle through the whole ring including the damping wigglers. Halbach?s formulae are used to describe the wiggler field. The main parameters of the wigglers are derived from field calculations. In order to avoid dangerous resonances, tune scanning is implemented to find suitable working points. According to presently known field quality, the nonlinear effects of damping wigglers will not degrade the performance of PETRA III and the dynamic aperture is still larger than the physical aperture.

  In the SPIRAL 2 Linac, a 5 mA, CW , Deuteron beam is accelerated up to 40 MeV, through a normal conducting RFQ and 26 independent-phase SC quarter wave resonators, working at 88,05 MHz. Tube and solid state amplifiers derived from the standard FM transmitter modules are used while a new digital control system has been designed for the feed-back and feed-forward control system. The paper presents the power and low level systems for both the normal and superconducting cavities and results of simulations of the RF system in operating conditions.

  The TTF2 fast beam loss interlock provides different modes of protection. Based on the differential beam charge monitoring over a macropulse, a pulse slice or bunch-by-bunch, the signal processing time should be as short as the bunch repetition period (110 ns). The signal delivered by the toroid-like inductive current transformer always shows an envelope droop due to its self-inductance to resistance ratio. When the macropulse length is comparable to this ratio, the charge of each bunch must be derived from the difference of the top to the bottom level on the signal. This necessity combined to the various protection modes leads to a digital implementation. All the processing functionalities are designed with VHDL for a Xilinx FPGA. Because the interlock involves other control signals in addition to the toroid signal with specific shapes, which cannot be easily reproduced for the design validation before the TTF2 completion, VHDL provides meanwhile the possibility for an exhaustive validation of the system with a software test bench including all timing information.

  The driver for the SPIRAL 2 project aims to accelerate a 5 mA D+ beam up to 20 A.MeV and a 1 mA beam for Q/A=1/3 up to 14.5 A.MeV. It operates in a continuous wave regime (cw), is designed for a maximum efficiency in the transmission of intense beams. Recent studies have led to change the reference design. The current design consists in an injector (ECR sources + LEBTs with the possibility to inject from several sources + a Radio Frequency Quadrupole) followed by a superconducting section based on an array of independently phased cavities where the transverse focalisation is performed by warm quadrupoles. This paper presents the beam dynamics studies associated to these new choices, the HEBT design and the fast chopping in the MEBT.

  The SPIRAL2 RFQ is designed to accelerate at 88MHz two kinds of charge-over-mass ratio, Q/A, particles. The proposed injector can accelerate a 5 mA deuteron beam (Q/A=1/2) or a 1 mA particles beam with q/A=1/3 up to 0.75 MeV/A. It is a CW machine which has to show stable operation, provide the request availability, have the minimum losses in order to minimize the activation constraints and show the best quality/cost ratio. It will be a 4-vane RFQ type, with a mechanical assembly, the global assumption being to build an RFQ without any brazing step. Extensive modelisation was made to ensure a good vane position under RF. A 1-m long hot model prototype is under construction in order to validate the manufacturing concept.  
 
WEPLT077 DESIGN OF A FULL-CUSTOM ACCURATE I-Q MODULATOR antiproton, damping, booster, target 2026

  The I-Q modulator is a key component in a digital Low Level RF (LLRF) system for amplitude and phase feedbacks. Its residual errors in offset or gain have a strong impact on the dynamic and accuracy of the feedback loops. For some frequencies, commercial I-Q modulators are available on the market. But even in that case, these components are usually designed for broadband communication purposes, and their performances in term of residual errors may not fit the strict requirements on the final amplitude and phase loop stability. Since LLRF systems for accelerators are typically narrow-banded, i.e. limited to few MHz, it is possible to achieve a high directivity and a very accurate coupling for hybrids, and an excellent matching for all subcomponents in a fully custom design. This approach guarantees the lowest residual errors for an I-Q modulator. The principle for the design and the process for the optimization are presented in this paper.  
 
WEPLT078 The IFMIF High Energy Beam Transport Line antiproton, damping, booster, target 2029

  The IFMIF project (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) requests two linacs designed to accelerate 125 mA deuteron beams up to 40 MeV. The linac has to work in CW mode and uses one RFQ and 10 DTL tanks. After extraction and transport, the deuteron beams with strong internal space charge forces have to be bunched, accelerated and transported to target for the production of high neutron flux. This paper presents the high energy beam transport line which provides a flat rectangular beam profile on the liquid lithium target. Transverse uniformisation is obtained by using non-linear mutipole lenses (octupoles and duodecapoles). Beam dynamics with and without errors has been study.  
 
WEPLT149 Image-charge Effects on the Beam Halo Formation and Beam Loss in a Small-aperture Alternating-gradient Focusing System sextupole, linac, laser, resonance 2185

  The image-charge effects on an intense charged-particle beam propagating through an alternating-gradient focusing channel with a small aperture, circular, perfectly conducting pipe are studied using a test-particle model. For a well-matched elliptical beam with the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV) distribution, it is found that halo formation and beam loss is induced by nonlinear fields due to image charges on the wall. The halo formation and chaotic particle motion dependent sensitively on the system parameters: filling factor of the quadrupole focusing field, vacuum phase advance, beam perveance, and the ratio of the beam size to the aperture. Furthermore, the percentage of beam loss to the conductor wall is calculated as a function of propagating distance and aperture. The theoretical results are compared with PIC code simulation results.

  The traveling wave type rf cavities operating in dipole mode (TM110-like) is being developed for a measurement of femto-second electron bunch. The femto-second electron bunch is used the pulse radiolysis experiments for the studies on radiation physics and chemistry with femto-second time resolution. The resonant frequency is tuned to the designing value 2856 MHz, which is accelerating frequency of a photo-injector linac at ISIR Osaka University. Further, we are planning to apply the design of the traveling wave rf deflector to a X-band crab cavities for the Global Linear Collider (GLC) project. In this conference, we will report the design of the traveling wave rf deflector and the result of cold test.
