| MOPLT049 | A Very High-beta Optics to be used for an Absolute Luminosity Determination with Forward Detectors in ATLAS | background, wiggler, extraction, undulator | 659 | ||
|
Atlas detector at the LHC pursues a number of different approaches to obtain an estimate of the absolute luminosity. Measuring elastic scattering at very small angles (3 mu rad) represents a different and complimentary approach that will improve the precision of the final luminosity estimate. In this paper we show the required very hihg-beta optics, detector acceptance studies, and running conditions and calculated performance for the proposed forward detectors located near the ATLAS interaction region.

New high-beta and very high-beta optics has been sought in order to find the best possible configuration for measuring total cross section in TOTEM and absolute luminosity in ATLAS. They are based on nominal powering scheme of the low-beta triplet. A list of the various possible solution is given in this report. A particularly interesting solution has been found for a case where the phase advance in both planes at the detector location are close to pi/2.

| MOPLT051 | Experimental Characterization of PEP-II Luminosity and Beam-beam Performance | background, wiggler, extraction, undulator | 665 | ||
|
The beam-beam performance of the PEP-II B-Factory has been studied by simultaneously measuring the instantaneous luminosity, the horizontal and vertical e+ and e- beam sizes in the two rings, and the spatial extent of the luminous region as extracted from BaBar dilepton data. These quantities, as well as ring tunes, beam lifetimes and other collider parameters are recorded regularly as a function of the two beam currents, both parasitically during routine physics running and in a few dedicated accelerator physics experiments. They are used to quantify, project, and ultimately improve the PEP-II performance in terms of achieved beam-beam parameters, dynamic-beta enhancement, and current-dependence of the specific luminosity.

In this paper we give analytical expressions for the maximum beam-beam parameter and related beam-beam limited beam lifetime in e+e- storage ring colliders. After analysing the performances of existing or existed machines, we make some discussions on the parameter choice for the Super-B factory design.

| MOPLT054 | High Current Operation of Pre-bunching Cavities in the CTF3 Accelerator | background, wiggler, extraction, undulator | 674 | ||
|
In the framework of the CLIC studies for a 3 TeV centre of mass linear collider the CLIC Test Facility-3 accelerator (CTF3) is developed to validate the novel concept of CLIC drive beam generation. The front end of the CTF3 linac uses a 140 kV thermionic gun capable to deliver a beam with currents of up to 10 A during 1.5 microseconds. Theμtime structure of this beam is generated with two standing wave single-cell 3 GHz pre-buncher cavities. The high current demands special care in the design of the pre-bunchers to preserve beam quality and transmission. A particular concern was beamloading in the second pre-buncher. In this paper, the design and the conditioning of the pre-bunchers are reported but the main focus is on the commissioning with the electron beam, which showed unexpected results. Indeed, contrary to our expectations, the unbunched beam seems to induce a kind of beamloading in the first pre-buncher while the second one shows none.

|
The Circular Radiofrequency Quadrupole is basically a Linear Radio-Frequency Quadrupole completely bent on a circle. A 30-keV prototype is being presently designed and manufactured for testing of the fundamental principles within the scope of a collaboration between BNL and Italian research centers. The storage ring is made of a proton source, a Linear RfQ section 70 cm long, for injection and matching, and eight Curved sections also each about 70 cm long. The proton beam is provided by a modified RF source with electrostatic acceleration at the emittance, intensity and energy required by the beam dynamics.The design of the initial linear prototype is based on a 4-rods geometry having a beam gap diameter of 10mm, and circular 10mm diameters rods. The sector is placed in a 150mm diameter pipe, making it as a very compact structure. The dimensions of the device are adjusted to resonate at 202.56 MHz. A RF power source will be soon available to test the device. The paper describes the compact RF cells arrangement in the design of the two sections.

| MOPLT056 | Feasibility Study for a Very High Luminosity Phi-factory | background, wiggler, extraction, undulator | 680 | ||
|
Particle factories are facing their future by looking at the possibility of upgrading the luminosity by orders of magnitude. The upgrade challenges are more stringent at lower energies. Double symmetric rings, enhanced radiation damping, negative momentum compaction and very short bunches at the collision point are the main features of a phi-factory feasibility study presented in this paper. The bunch length of few millimeters at the crossing point of the beams is obtained by applying the Strong RF Focusing principle which provides a modulation of the bunch length along the ring by means of a large momentum compaction factor together with a very high RF gradient. The collider design fits the existing DAFNE infrastructures with completely rebuilt rings and upgraded injection system.

| MOPLT057 | Proposal of a Strong RF Focusing Experiment at DAFNE | background, wiggler, extraction, undulator | 683 | ||
|
The strong RF focusing is a recently proposed technique to obtain short bunches at the interaction point in the next generation colliders. A large momentum compaction factor together with a very high RF gradient across the bunch provide a modulation of the bunch length along the ring, which can be minimized at the Interaction Point (IP). No storage ring has been so far operated in such a regime, since it requires uncommonly high synchrotron tune values. In this paper we present the proposal of creating the experimental conditions to study the strong RF focusing in DAFNE. The proposed machine lattice providing the required high momentum compaction value, the upgrade of the RF system including the installation of a multi-cell superconducting cavity, the upgrade of the cryogenic plant and a list of the possible beam experiments are illustrated and discussed.

We present a design study for an upgrade of the SPARC photo-injector system, whose main aim is the construction of an advanced beam test facility for conducting experiments on high gradient plasma acceleration and for the generation of monochromatic X-ray beams to be used in advanced medical applications and condensed matter physics studies. Main components of the proposed plan of upgrade are: two additional beam lines with interaction regions for synchronized high brightness electron and high intensity photon beams and the upgrade of the SPARC Ti:Sa laser system to reach a multi-TW power level (in excess of 1 J in pulse energy). Results of numerical simulations modeling the interaction of the SPARC electron beam and the counter-propagating laser beam are presented with detailed discussion of the monochromatic X-ray beam spectra generated by Compton backscattering: X-ray energies are tunable in the range 20 to 500 keV, with pulse duration from sub-ps to 30 ps. Preliminary simulations of plasma acceleration of the SPARC electron beam, generated in ultra-short bunches, via the LWF mechanism and with external injection are also shown: experiments of self-injection are also foreseen and illustrated.

| MOPLT062 | The Design of a Prototype RF Compressor for High Brightness Electron Beams | background, wiggler, vacuum, undulator | 698 | ||
|
The generation of sub-ps electron bunches with low transverse emittance at nC charge level is a crucial requirement in the design of injectors for short wavelength FEL's. The technique of velocity bunching has been by now experimentally proven in various laboratories, where bunches below the ps bunch length were obtained: however, preservation of a low transverse emittance after the bunch compression is still to be demonstrated. To this aim, the use a slow wave RF structure as a rectilinear compressor has been proposed in the past to overcome the inherent difficulties of magnetic compressors. In this paper we will review the work carried out in the last 2 years and focused on the design a RF compressor based on a 3 GHz slow-wave copper structure. The rationale of the conceptual design along with a description of the main experimental activities will be presented and the future application of such a scheme to the SPARC project will be discussed.

The development of modern accelerator control systems has taken advantage of the possibility to use standard architecture designs based on the experience gained in industrial applications. Communication buses, board formats, operating systems, network protocols and operator interface software are the main elements of this new approach. In this paper we will discuss the way to apply this method also to the design of electronic boards which call for custom design of particular circuits and capabilities. The use of FPGA based standard modules along with the possibility to customize them using a standard LabVIEW environment to obtain reconfigurable hardware resources will be presented.

This paper reports details of an induction accelerating cavity employed for induction synchrotron POP experiments [*] using the KEK 12GeV PS. This cavity is the first induction cavity in the history of accelerator that is used in a circular ring. We focus our attention on crucial aspects distinguished from well-know properties of RF cavity. The single cavity is capable of generating an acceleration voltage of 2.5kV with a pulse width of 250ns, which is operated at a repetition rate in the range of 667kHz - 882kHz. The cavity is driven by its own pulse modulator through a 25m long transmission cable of 125W, the end of which is connected with a matching resistance so as to minimize reflection in a wide range of frequency. Accelerating field characteristics are discussed and matching features of the cavity as a one-to-one transformer are presented. A longitudinal and transverse coupling impedance have been measured using a net-work analyzer.

| MOPLT081 | Low Energy Ion Beam Dynamics in Axisymmetric RF Undulator Linac | background, laser, wiggler, vacuum | 731 | ||
|
The ion beam focusing and acceleration in an axisymmetric periodic RF undulator structure is considered. There is suggested that RF field has no a synchronous wave and accelerating force is to be driven by a combination of two non-synchronous waves. The influence of non-synchronous harmonics on ion beam dynamics is studied by means of a smooth approximation. Choice and optimization of RF field harmonics are made to obtain maximal transmission coefficient. The result is verified by a numerical simulation. The comparison with a conventional RF linac, where a synchronous harmonic accelerates a beam and non-synchronous one is focusing a beam, is described. This comparison is suitable for demonstration of the capabilities of an undulator linac.

Till now Kurchatov Centre of Synchrotron Radiation facility control system is based on a CAMAC-oriented computers network. In this paper the project of upgrading and results of prototyping of the new equipment is submitted. Upgrading includes two levels. First, it is possible to create the modern CAMAC crate-controller, connected with standard network. More advanced variant will consist in replacement of CAMAC modules with the embedded controllers of equipment. Second level is a creation of a local managing network of personal computers, as consoles of the control system. The control system is functionally divided into four levels: 1) the controllers managing in a real-time mode by the executive equipment; 2) the workstations which are supporting the link with controllers by CAN-network; 3) the server of applications containing a dynamic database; 4) the PCs network for users applications. Examples of realisation of the software are presented.

| WEPLT029 | Intensity Dependent Emittance Transfer Studies at the CERN Proton Synchrotron | injection, focusing, acceleration, booster | 1891 | ||
|
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 | focusing, acceleration, booster, bunching | 1894 | ||
|
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.

| WEPLT031 | The LHC Access Control System | focusing, acceleration, booster, bunching | 1897 | ||
|
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.

| WEPLT033 | The LHC Radiation Monitoring System for the Environment and Safety | radiation, focusing, acceleration, booster | 1900 | ||
|
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.

| WEPLT035 | Capture Loss of the LHC Beam in the CERN SPS | radiation, focusing, acceleration, booster | 1903 | ||
|
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.

| WEPLT036 | Energy Loss of a Single Bunch in the CERN SPS | radiation, focusing, acceleration, booster | 1906 | ||
|
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.

| WEPLT038 | Betatron Resonance Studies at the CERN PS Booster by Harmonic Analysis of Turn-by-turn Beam Position Data | radiation, focusing, acceleration, bunching | 1912 | ||
|
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, focusing, acceleration, bunching | 1915 | ||
|
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, focusing, bunching, booster | 1921 | ||
|
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, focusing, bunching, booster | 1927 | ||
|
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.

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.

| WEPLT045 | Experiments on LHC Long-range Beam-beam Compensation in the CERN SPS | radiation, focusing, bunching, electron | 1933 | ||
|
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.

| WEPLT046 | Localizing Impedance Sources from Betatron-phase Beating in the CERN SPS | radiation, focusing, bunching, impedance | 1936 | ||
|
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.

| WEPLT048 | Beam Dynamic Studies of the 72 MeV Beamline with a 'Super Buncher' | radiation, focusing, bunching, impedance | 1942 | ||
|
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, focusing, bunching, impedance | 1945 | ||
|
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.

| WEPLT115 | A Study of Transverse Resonance Crossing in FFAG | radiation, sextupole, antiproton, plasma | 2116 | ||
|
A study of "resonance crossing" in FFAG accelerator is described in this paper. A deviation of FFAG guiding field in actual magnet breaks zero chromaticity condition, and tunes cross resonance while acceleration. In order to avoid a critical beam loss or emittance growth, nominal tune should be chosen so as not to cross low-order resonances. However, crossing higher order resonance can be critical and that depends on the parameters such as crossing speed, excitation magnitude and initial beam emittance. We will present analytical model and simulation study in various parameter space.

| WEPLT116 | Lattice Design and Cooling Simulation at S-LSR | radiation, sextupole, antiproton, plasma | 2119 | ||
|
A compact ion cooler ring, S-LSR is under construction in Kyoto University. The circumference is 22.557 m and the maximum magnetic rigidity is 1 Tm. One of the important roles of S-LSR is a test bed to examine the lowest temperature limit of the ion beams using cooling techniques. The ultimate case is a crystalline one. The ring optics of S-LSR has a high super periodicity and a low phase advance to reduce the beam heating from the lattice structure. S-LSR has an electron beam cooling device and a laser cooling system for Mg. The simulation results show the possible limit of the ion beam temperature and the dependence on the operating betatron tunes.

A multibunch multiparticle tracking simulation is performed to investigate energy spread, bunch-lengthening and beam instabilities due to the rf cavities.

|
The 2.6 cell rf-photogun currently in operation at Eindhoven University of Technology has been designed as a booster for a 2 MeV semi-DC accelerator with a field of 1 GV/m. In this paper we present GPT simulation results of the TU/e gun, operated without its pre-accelerator, in the low-charge short-pulse regime. The main part of the paper describes detailed calculations of bunch lengthening due to path-length differences and space-charge effects, making use of high-precision field-maps and the newly developed 3D mesh-based space-charge model of GPT. It is shown that with the present set-up bunches can be produced that are well suited for injection into a planned experiment for controlled acceleration in a plasma-wakefield accelerator.

To enhance hard X-ray capability in the 1.5 GeV storage ring of NSRRC to serve the rapidly growing X-ray user community in Taiwan, the storage ring was installed two superconducting insertion devices. Three more superconducting insertion devices are in planning. A 6 Tesla superconducting wavelength shifter was installed in mid-2002. A 3.2 Tesla superconducting multi-pole wiggler was installed in December of 2003.

The beam distribution of particles in an electron storage ring is distorted in the presence of nonlinear resonances. A computer simulation is used to study the equilibrium distribution of an electron beam in the presence of 4th order single nonlinear resonance. The results are compared with that obtained using an analytical approach by solving the Fokker-Planck equation to first order in the resonance strength. The effect of resonance on the quantum lifetime of electron beam is also compared and investigated.

| WEPLT122 | Investigation of Microwave Instability on Electron Storage Ring TLS | radiation, sextupole, antiproton, ion | 2137 | ||
|
With the planned installation of a superconducting rf system, the new operation mode of TLS, the electron storage ring at NSRRC, is expected to double the beam intensity. Several accelerator physics topics need to be examined. One of these topics concerns the beam instability of single-bunch longitudinal microwave instability. We consider different approaches to measure the effective broad band impedance. We compare these measurement results with each other and to the old data [*]. The new measurements of effective broad band impedance are higher than the old measurement since between these two sets of measurements several narrow gap insertion devices were installed into the storage ring. We calculate the threshold current of microwave instability with a mode-mixing analysis code written by Dr. K. Oide of KEK [**]. We also develop a multi-particle tracking code to simulate the instability. The results of simulation and measurement are compared and discussed. We conclude that the doubling of beam current will not onset the microwave instability even without a Landau cavity to lengthen the bunch.

| WEPLT123 | Engineering Design of High-current 81.36 MHz RFQ with Elliptic Coupling Windows | radiation, sextupole, antiproton, target | 2140 | ||
|
Four-vane RFQ structure with elliptic coupling windows has been originally developed at ITEP for injection into ITEP-TWAC synchrotron/storage ring complex, being lately adapted for RIA project too. As the electrodynamics simulations show, this structure combines the high efficiency with the operating mode stability against asymmetric detuning and electrode misalignment. A considerable reduction of structure diameter due to coupling windows becomes important for low frequency range which is necessary for the heavy ion acceleration. At the same time, the electrode configuration allows the efficient cooling and high duty factor operation. A mechanical design of 81 MHz, 1.6 MeV/u, 6 m long heavy ion RFQ section is discussed. The outer tank is made of two layers, steel and copper, joined by using the thermal diffusion technology. Each electrode is supplied with the alignment mechanism and connected to the tank by the flexible conducting insert. The whole setup is in manufacturing now.

The article deals with electron beam dynamics in projected high energy electron cooler. Classical electrostatic scheme with several MeV electron energy is considered. The increase of transversal energy of electrons in an accelerating section, in bends and at the matching point of magnetic fields is calculated. In order to calculate beam behavior in bends with electrostatic compensation of centripetal drift new ELEC3D electro- and magnitostatic 3D code is developed. BEAM code is used for simulation of dynamics in an accelerating section. The methods of keeping low transversal energy are estimated.

We investigated the original method of fabrication of the great number of emitting tips by pulling liquid metal through the holes in track membrane under influence of electric field. The track membranes are produced by cyclotron of Physicotechnical Institute. This method enables to fabricate up to 1·108 emitting tips per square cm. Special test facility to investigate emitter parameters operating at different values of background residual gas pressure was designed and developed. The liquid metal multiple tip field emitters possess some unique characteristics which are attractive in accelerators for material irradiation: unlimited life expectancy, large current densities (about 100 mA per sq. cm), practically unlimited surface, stable emission in poor vacuum.

Mathematical optimization methods are widely used in designing and construction of charged particle accelerators. In this paper new approach to beam dynamics optimization is considered. Suggested approach to the problem is based on the analytical representation for variation of examined functionals via solutions of special partial differentional equations. The problem of optimization is considered as a problem of mutual optimization chosen synchronous particle motion and charged particles beam at whole. This approach was applied to the beam dynamics optimization for RFQ structures.

The lattice for the future MAX-IV storage rings at MAX-Lab has been studied, The MAX IV facility consists of two similar rings operated at 1.5 GeV and 3 GeV electron energies, The ring consists of 12 supercells each built up by 5 unit cells and matching sections. The high periodicity of the lattice combined with the high gradients in the small gap dipole magnets yield a small emittance of 1 nm.rad, good dynamic aperture and momentum acceptance. In the matching section, a soft end dipole magnet is introduced to reduce the synchrotron radiation power hitting the upstream straight section.

The MAX-II electron storage ring operates exclusively in multi-bunch mode with all buckets filled. Damping of the longitudinal higher order mode (HOM) instabilities has successfully been provided by passive third harmonic 1.5 GHz cavities. With a new RF employing three 100 MHz capacity loaded cavities and a fifth harmonic Landau cavity installed, a study of the HOM impedances, and related threshold instability currents, is necessary. Measurements and calculations so far, are being presented.

| WEPLT138 | Laser Cooling of Electron Bunches in Compton Storage Rings | sextupole, antiproton, laser, emittance | 2158 | ||
|
Self-consistent dynamics of a bunch circulating in the Compton storage ring has been studied analytically. Disturbances from both the synchrotron and Compton radiations were taken into account. The emittances in laser-dominated rings (where the synchrotron energy losses are much smaller then the Compton ones) were evaluated. The resultant emittances (synchrotrons plus Comptons) were compared with the synchrotrons. As were shown, the longitudinal degree of freedom is heated up due to Compton scattering. Almost the same conclusion is valid for the vertical uncoupled betatron emittance. Since it is impossible in principle to get zero dispersion in the banding magnets, the radial emittance almost always cooling down by laser. Therefore in practical cases of coupled transverse oscillations with the horizontal emittance determining the vertical one, the laser will cool down the transverse degrees of freedom.

Modern electron accelerators for industrial application provide particle energy of up to 10 MeV and beam power of up to 100 kW. Such a beam is ejected into an air using a scanning system. The measuring channel based on a total-absorption calorimeter of flow-type for a beam calibration with respect to energy flow is designed. The processes of beam interaction with the primary measuring converter (a water-cooled beam absorber of especial geometry) were previously studied using a computer simulation. The metering circuit of the channel is made as a stand-alone module with LCD display and control keypad. It performs the operations of temperature measurement at the input and output of the absorber, as well as a water flow-rate determination. The absorbed power is calculated from measured parameters and then is displayed and stored into channel memory using appropriate software. The process is carried out both in off-line mode and under control of the external PC via a serial interface of RS-232 type.

The process of longitudinal stochastic cooling is simulated using a Fokker-Planck model. The model includes the sensitivities of pick-up and kicker electrodes as calculated from field theoretical models. The effect of feedback through the beam is taken into account. Intra beam scattering is treated as an additional diffusive effect. The calculations cover the existing system of the ESR storage ring at GSI as well as the cooling system for secondary heavy ion and antiproton beams at the proposed new accelerator facility. The paper discusses the resulting cooling times. Requirements on the system layout as amplification factors and electrical power can be derived from the simulations.

| WEPLT145 | Beam Loss Studies in High-intensity Heavy-ion Linacs | sextupole, linac, laser, target | 2173 | ||
|
A low beam-loss budget is an essential requirement for high-intensity machines and represents one of their major design challenges. In a high-intensity heavy-ion machine, losses are required to be below 1 W/m for hands-on-maintenance. The driver linac of the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) is designed to accelerate beams of any ion to energies from 400 MeV per nucleon for uranium up to 950 MeV for protons with a beam power of up to 400 kW. The high intensity of the heaviest ions is achieved by acceleration of multiple-charge-state beams, which requires a careful beam dynamics optimization to minimize effective emittance growth and beam halo formation. For beam loss simulation purposes, large number of particles must be tracked through the linac. Therefore the computer code TRACK [P.N. Ostroumov and K.W. Shepard, PRST AB 11, 030101 (2001)] has been parallelized and calculations is being performed on the JAZZ cluster [*] recently inaugurated at ANL. This paper discusses how this powerful tool is being used for simulations for the RIA project to help decide on the high-performance and cost-effective design of the driver linac.

| WEPLT146 | Mismatch Oscillations in High-current Accelerators | sextupole, linac, laser, target | 2176 | ||
|
Strong space charge challenges the designers of modern accelerators such as those used in Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion. Simple, accurate design tools are useful for predicting beam behavior, such as phase advances and envelope oscillation periods, given the beam emittance and charge and the lattice parameters. Along with the KV beam model, the smooth approximation [*] is often used. It is simple but not very accurate in many cases. Although Struckmieir and Reiser [**] showed that the stable envelope oscillations of unbalanced beams could be obtained accurately, they used a hybrid approach where the phase advances σ0 and σ were already known precisely. When starting instead with basic quantities–quadrupole dimensions, field strength, beam line charge and emittance–the smooth approximation formulas give substantial errors (10% or more). We previously described an integration method [***] for matched beams that yields fairly simple third-order formulas for σ0, σ, beam radius and ripple. Here we extend the method to include small-amplitude mismatch oscillations. We derive a simple modification of the smooth approximation formulas and show that it improves the accuracy of the predicted envelope frequencies significantly–for example, by a factor of five when σ0 is 83 degrees.

| WEPLT147 | Lattice Studies for CIRCE (Coherent InfraRed CEnter) at the ALS | sextupole, linac, laser, target | 2179 | ||
|
CIRCE (Coherent InfraRed Center) at the Advanced Light Source is a proposal for a new electron storage ring optimized for the generation of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the terahertz frequency range. One of the main requirement for this special mode of operation is the capability of the ring of operating at very small momentum compaction values. In this regime, the longitudinal dynamics becomes strongly nonlinear and an accurate control of the higher order energy dependent terms of the momentum compaction is necessary. The lattice for CIRCE allows controlling these terms up to the third order. The paper describes the lattice and presents the calculated performances in terms of momentum acceptance, dynamic aperture, lifetime and momentum compaction tune capabilities.

| WEPLT148 | Dynamical Map for Combined Function Magnets with Solenoid, Dipole and Quadrupole Fields | sextupole, linac, laser, target | 2182 | ||
|
The interaction regions of colliders invariably include strong solenoid fields. Where quadrupoles and dipoles are embedded in the solenoid, the beam dynamics in the combined fields can be complicated to model using the traditional approach of interleaving slices of different fields. The complexity increases if the design trajectory is offset from the magnetic axis; this is the case, for example, in PEP-II. In this paper, we present maps for combined solenoid, dipole and quadrupole fields that provide a much simpler alternative to the traditional approach, and show that the deviation of the design trajectory from the magnetic axis can be handled in a straightforward manner. We illustrate the techniques presented by reference to the PEP-II interaction region.

|
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.

By reformulating the force between point charges as the force on a point charge due to a co-moving line charge (or "string",) space charge calculations can be reformulated as intrabeam scattering, with no intermediate, particle-in-cell step required.[*] This approach is expected to be especially useful for calculating emittance dilution of ultrashort bunches in magnetic fields, where coherent radiative effects are important. This paper describes the partial implementation of this approach within UAL (Unified Accelerator Libraries.) The interparticle force is calculated and applied to the dynamics of a bunch represented by just two superparticles in an idealized lattice, with emphasis on the head-tail effect. Gridding of the interparticle force, as needed for realistic multiparticle simulation, is also described.

|
X-band accelerating structures operate at surface gradients up to 120-180 MV/m. At these gradients, electron currents are emitted spontaneously from the structure walls ("dark currents") and generate additional electromagnetic fields inside the structure. We estimate the effect of these fields on the accelerated beam in a linac using two methods: a particle-in-cell simulation code MAGIC and a particle tracking code. We use the Fowler-Nordheim dependence of the emitted current on surface electric field with field enhancement factor beta. In simulations we consider geometries of traveling wave structures that have actually been built for the Next Linear Collider project.

| WEPLT156 | Suppression of Microbunching Instability in the Linac Coherent Light Source | sextupole, electron, optics, proton | 2203 | ||
|
A microbunching instability driven by longitudinal space charge, coherent synchrotron radiation and linac wakefields is studied for the linac coherent light source (LCLS) accelerator system. Since the uncorrelated (local) energy spread of electron beams generated from a photocathode rf gun is very small, the microbunching gain may be large enough to significantly amplify shot noise fluctuations of the electron beam. The uncorrelated energy spread can be increased by an order of magnitude without degrading the free-electron laser performance to provide strong Landau damping against the instability. We study different damping options in the LCLS and discuss an effective laser heater to minimize the impacts of the instability on the quality of the electron beam.

| WEPLT157 | Single-bunch Electron Cloud Effects in the GLC/NLC, US-cold and TESLA Low Emittance Transport Lines | electron, sextupole, optics, proton | 2206 | ||
|
In the beam pipe of the Beam Delivery System (BDS) and Bunch Compressor system (BCS) of a linear collider, ionization of residual gasses and secondary emission may lead to amplification of an initial electron signal during the bunch train passage and ultimately give rise to an electron-cloud. A positron beam passing through the linear collider beam delivery may experience unwanted additional focusing due to interaction with the electron cloud. This typically leads to an increase in the beam size at the interaction point (IP) when the cloud density is high. Interaction with the electron cloud in the bunch compressor could also potentially cause an instability. This paper examines the severity of the electron cloud effects in the BCS and BDS of both the GLC/NLC and US-Cold linear collider design through the use of specially developed simulation codes. An estimate of the critical cloud density is given for the BDS and BCS of both designs.
