MOPAN007 | A Non-intercepting Beam Current Monitor for the ISAC-II SC-linac | ion, pick-up, linac, vacuum | 155 | |||||
|
A personnel protection system will monitor the ion beam current into the experimental hall from the ISAC-II SC-linac. It will use continuous self-test and redundancy and have an accuracy of ±10% from 1 to 200enA. The system, based on an Atlas design, will use capacitive pickups with rf resonators and buffer amplifiers. Ion charge, velocity and bunch width will affect the sensitivity so periodic calibration with dc Faraday cups will be needed. The signal from each 13cm long, 5cm diameter pickup tube will pass through a vacuum feedthrough to a helical resonator. An AD8075 IC with an input impedance of 87kΩ at 35MHz will allow a high coil tap. The ISAC beam, bunched at 11.8MHz, is injected into the ISAC-II SC-linac via a 25m long transfer line. Monitors will be placed in the transfer line and downstream of the linac before the experimental hall. A 35MHz and a 70MHz coil (3 and 6 harmonic) have loaded Q's of 600. A test in the transfer line of the 35MHz coil gave a sensitivity 0.09mV/enA from the unity gain buffer using 20Ne+5 ions at 1.5MeV/u. The background was equivalent to 1enA. The 70MHz coil gave 0.04mV/enA using 22Ne+4 ions. System design and test data will be presented.

MOPAN009 | Transverse Feedback Development at SOLEIL | feedback, damping, emittance, betatron | 161 | |||||
|
With reduced vertical chamber aperture adopted all around the machine, the transverse impedance for the SOLEIL ring is enhanced both in its resistive-wall and broadband content. The predicted instability threshold currents being significantly low as compared to the nominal current in multibunch and in several single bunch modes, a decision was taken to install a digital bunch by bunch feedback system, with an aim to make it operational since the beginning of the storage ring operation. The system implemented comprises components developed elsewhere, particularly the FPGA processor of SPring-8, chosen among different possible solutions. Using a BPM and a stripline in the diagonal mode, a single unit of the FPGA processor board has shown to successfully suppress resistive-wall and ion induced multibunch instabilities in either one or both transverse planes. On top of the system characteristics, the paper discusses details of the obtained performance, as well as future extensions to overcome the encountered limitations.

MOPAN036 | Longitudinal Feedback System for the Photon Factory | feedback, kicker, synchrotron, factory | 233 | |||||
|
In the KEK-PF, longitudinal coupled-bunch instabilities are suppressed by means of the RF phase-modulation technique during the users operation. This method is very effective not only to suppress the instabilities but also to enlarge the beam lifetime. Together with the feasibility study for top-up operation, bunch-by-bunch feedback system have been developed. A two-port longitudinal kicker based on dafne-type cavity were designed and installed in the storage ring in the summer of 2006. FPGA-based signal processing part is under development based on the KEKB design. As an preliminary test of the longitudinal kicker, a simple mode-feedback system which suppress a specific coupled-bunch mode were tested successfully.

MOPAN042 | Switching Power Supply for Induction Accelerators | acceleration, induction, power-supply, synchrotron | 251 | |||||
|
A new particle acceleration method using pulsed induction cavities was introduced in the super-bunch project at KEK. Unlike conventional RF acceleration, this acceleration method separates functions of acceleration and confinement As a result, this acceleration method can be applied for accelerating a wide mass range of particles. However, it is necessary to give a very fast pulsed-excitation to the cavity to perform the induction acceleration. Switching power supplies of high voltage output with very fast pulse-operation is one of the most important key technologies for this new acceleration method. We have developed 20ns rise time pulse at continuous repetition rate of 1MHz using MOS-FET's. Induction cavities were modulated through the 200m long transmission lines. Further development using SI- thyristor achieved 1MHz and 2kV switching in a burst mode operation. SiC devices are also studied for the application and some promising results were obtained. Faster operation will make this new acceleration technology available for small accelerator projects.

The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) particle accelerator makes extensive use of true bipolar power converters, with a regulated high precision output current requirement. A special design and topology is required to permit high performance throughout the converter operating area, including quadrant transition. This paper presents the 120A 10V power converter, well represented in the LHC (300 units). The design is adapted for a wide range of magnet loads [from 10mH to 4 Henry] with stringent EMC requirements. A quick-connect system was applied to the converter modules to allow easy installation and maintenance operations. Discussion of 4 quadrant control and practical results are presented.

We present the final results of a study for the design of a fast extraction kicker to be installed in the Accelerator Test Facility ring at KEK. The purpose of this project is to test the technologies to be used in the design of the extraction kickers for the International Linear Collider damping rings. The kicker's rise and fall times are important parameters in the final configuration of the rings, since they constrain the minimum distance between bunches and ultimately define a lower limit for the rings length. We investigated a stripline kicker composed of several 65-cm long sections, grouped in two different locations in the ATF damping ring. An analytical study of the kicker's parameter and extensive computer simulations using Microwave Studio* point out the ambitious requirements on the pulsers, in order to be able to satisfy the design specifications. We also investigated the use of a single kicker module, together with a close orbit bump near the extraction septum.

PEP-II operations will increase the beam currents to 4A for LER and 2.2A for HER to achieve the final goal in luminosity. These magnitudes are challenging in part because they will push toward the limit the longitudinal low-order mode (LOM) beam stability due to beam loading. To analyze the behavior of both rings at high currents and understand the limits in the longitudinal feedback systems a simulation tool has been developed at SLAC. This tool is based on a reduced model of the longitudinal LOM dynamics of the beam interacting with the effective impedance presented by RF station. Simulations and measurements of the longitudinal beam behavior in both rings have been performed to understand the ultimate limit of the system. These studies have defined the impact of control loop parameters in the longitudinal beam dynamics, identified the poor performance of RF devices affecting the optimal performance of the RF stations and quantified the behavior of the longitudinal LOM beam dynamics. Results of sensitivity to parameter variations in the beam dynamics and limits in the maximum current that LER/HER can achieve based on the longitudinal beam stability are reported in this paper. |

Funding: Research supported by the Department of Energy, Division of High Energy Physics |
A fast, electrically-controlled phase shifter is described with parameters suitable for operation with the SC acceleration structure of the electron cooling system of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL. The phase shifter is a key element of the external RF vector modulator that is capable of fast tuning of the cavities against microphonics, Lorentz force and beam instabilities in a way that can possibly lead to an order of magnitude reduction in the required RF power. The phase shifter is based on a shortened low-impendence coaxial line with ferroelectric rings. The dielectric constant of the ferroelectric rings is altered by applying a 4.2 kV voltage that provides an RF phase shift from 0 to 180 deg. |

A main magnet chain forms a pair of transmission lines. Pulse-reflection-caused voltage and current differentiation throughout the magnet chain can have adverse effect on main magnet field quality. This effect is associated with magnet system configuration, coupling efficiency, and parasitic parameters. A better understanding of this phenomenon will help us in new design and existing system upgrade. In this paper, we exam the transmission line effect due to different input functions as well as configuration, coupling, and other parameters. |

TUODAB01 | Variations of Betatron Tune Spectrum due to Electron Cloud Observed in KEKB | electron, damping, focusing, positron | 825 | |||||
|
In order to investigate the characteristics of electron clouds, the wake effects were measured at KEKB using a test bunch placed behind a bunch-train, where there was a rapid decay in the electron cloud density. The current-dependent tune-shift of the test bunch exhibited nonlinear behaviour in the vertical plane [1]. By observing the tune spectrum, we found that the spectrum width expanded and this was accompanied with a large negative tune slope at a low cloud density and at a low bunch current. However, as the cloud density increased, the spectrum width shrunk and this was accompanied with a positive tune slope. These experimental results suggested that a high electron cloud density caused an anti-damping effect in the tune spectrum. We believe that the variations in the tune slope and spectrum width might be related to the wake field in the resonator model, where the wavelength is comparable to the bunch length.

TUOAC01 | Design and Measurements of a Damping Ring Kicker for the ILC | kicker, damping, pulsed-power, optics | 846 | |||||
|
Funding: Work supported by a contribution from the National Research Council of Canada. |
The International Linear Collider (ILC) requires ultra fast kickers for the damping ring. One option requires kickers which must produce pulses of 5 kV magnitude, with 6 ns rise and 6 ns fall time into a 50 Ohm, terminated, matched stripline deflector. The pulse must rise and fall within 12 ns. The pulse magnitude must be repeatable to a high accuracy. This paper describes a novel design for a suitable pulse generator for the damping ring kicker, in which 2 stacks of 1kV FETS are combined to generate the fast pulses. The design concept uses 2 parallel 100 Ω drivers combined to provide a 50 Ω driver. The need for 3 MHz burst mode operation for 1 ms at 5 Hz (or 10 Hz) gives an average rep rate of 15 kHz (or 30 kHz). Measurements and calculations are presented on the present state of the TRIUMF prototype pulse generator. |

TUPMN076 | The Fabrication and Characterization of an S-band RF-gun Cavity | coupling, gun, resonance, monitoring | 1097 | |||||
|
A single cell rf-gun cavity is designed and fabricated for the purpose of examining the feasibility of installing a thermionic rf-gun at NSRRC instead of a photocathode rf-gun considered previously. The operating frequency of the rf-gun cavity is set at 2856 MHz in order to utilize the available XK-5 klystron and linac. The fabricated parts of the OFHC copper cavity are brazed together in-house and then the cavity is characterized by rf measurement. It shows that the cavity gives very good character in terms of high quality factor, relaxed tuning range, adequate coupling coefficient, and reasonable reproducibility. The properties of the cavity are further explored by measuring the field profile and its response to an rf pulse in which the filling time is deduced. The measurement results of this brazed cavity are described and summarized in this report.

In recent years, we have explored application to the Advanced Photon Source (APS) of Zholents'* crab-cavity-based scheme for production of short x-ray pulses. Work concentrated on using superconducting (SC) cavities in order to have a continuous stream of crabbed bunches and flexibility of operating modes. The challenges of the SC approach are related to the size, cost, and development time of the cavities and associated systems. A good case can be made for a pulsed system** using room-temperature cavities. APS has elected to pursue such a system in the near term, with the SC-based system planned for a later date. This paper describes the motivation for the pulsed system and gives an overview of the planned implementation and issues. Among these are overall configuration options and constraints, cavity design options, frequency choice, cavity design challenges, tolerances, instability issues, and diagnostics plans.

In this paper, we examine the growth of the microbunching instability in the chain of linac sections and bunch compressor chicanes used in the electron beam delivery system of a free electron laser. We compare the results of two sets of simulations, one conducted using a direct Vlasov solver, the other using a particle-in-cell code Impact-Z with the number of simulation macroparticles ranging up to 100 million. The comparison is focused on the values of uncorrelated (slice) energy spread at different points in the lattice. In particular, we discuss the interplay between physical and numerical noise in particle-based simulations, and assess the agreement between the simulation results and theoretical predictions.

A 2.1 GeV electron storage ring can serve as a third-generation light source for photon energies of 1-2000 eV. We design a ring with emittance of 1.5 nm-rad, circumference of 215 m, and twelve 5.5 m long straight sections. With a 100 MHz radiofrequency (rf) system, the computed Touschek current-lifetime product is 2800 mA-hr. Two passive fifth-harmonic cavities may be used to suppress parasitic coupled-bunch instabilities while increasing the bunchlength and lifetime by a factor of four. For stable operation with ring currents up to 600 mA, microwave-instability simulations indicate that the reduced longitudinal impedance should not exceed 1.5Ω. |

This paper presents an efficient, RF-coupled, 95-GHz undulatory (snake-like) antenna that can be fabricated using IC technology. While there are many uses for directed power at this frequency our interest is in understanding the propagation of the input power through the circuit and its radiative characteristics for comparison to earlier work in the THz range (see PAC05). 95 GHz was chosen because test equipment was available (WR-10 waveguide and HP network analyzer). Different materials, heights and widths of the circuit were considered on a low-loss, 0.10-mm thick quartz substrate e.g. 0.75 microns of elevated gold corresponding to three skin depths. The design is compared to more conventional RF technology using a low energy, high power electron beam and to higher energy, lower power Smith Purcell gratings and free-electron-lasers (FELs). The FDTD results show narrow-band, 80% radiation efficiency with a dipole-like radiation pattern that is enhanced by adding periods. The radiated power was calculated using two different techniques that agreed quite well i.e. by integrating the far-field Poynting vector as well as subtracting the output power from input power. |

A nonlinear collimation system can allow larger aperture for the mechanical jaws, and it thereby can help to reduce the collimator impedance, which presently limits the LHC beam intensity. Assuming the nominal LHC beam at 7 TeV, we show how a nonlinear betatronic collimation insertion would reduce considerably the LHC coherent tune shift for the most critical coupled-bunch mode as compared with the conventional baseline linear collimation system of Phase-I. In either case, the tune shifts of the most unstable modes are compared with the stability diagrams for Landau damping.

TUPAN086 | An Improved Beam Screen for the LHC Injection Kickers | kicker, coupling, vacuum, injection | 1574 | |||||

The two LHC injection kicker magnet systems must produce a kick of 1.3 T.m with a flattop duration variable up to 7860 ns, and rise and fall times of less than 900 ns and 3000 ns, respectively. Each system is composed of two resonant charging power supplies and four 5 Ω transmission line kicker magnets with matched terminating resistors and pulse forming networks. A beam screen is placed in the aperture of the magnets: the screen consists of a ceramic tube with conductors on the inner wall. The conductors provide a path for the image current of the, high intensity, LHC beam and screen the ferrite against Wake fields. The conductors initially used gave adequately low beam impedance however inter-conductor discharges occurred during pulsing of the magnet: an alternative design was discharge free at the nominal operating voltage but the beam impedance was too high for the ultimate LHC beam. This paper presents the results of a new development undertaken to meet the often conflicting requirements for low beam impedance, shielding of the ferrite, fast field rise time and good electrical behaviour. High voltage test results and thermal measurements are also presented.

Future projects like a neutrino factory or an advanced spallation neutron source require high power proton accelerators capable of producing beams in the multi-MW range. The quality of the beam delivered to the target is very much dictated by the accelerator front end and by the lower energy linac. Prompted by the Front End Test Stand (FETS) under construction at RAL, a new 180 MeV H- linac is being considered as a possible replacement for the aging current 70 MeV ISIS injector, and the same linac has also been included in designs for the proton driver for a possible UK Neutrino Factory. In this paper, different RF design options are analysed and a general layout for the new linac is presented based on two accelerating structures to raise the beam energy from 3 to 180 MeV: a 324 MHz Drift Tube Linac (DTL) making use of commercial Toshiba klystrons, followed by Side Coupled Linac (SCL) with a triple frequency jump at the transition between the two structures.

Proton accelerator structures for medical applications using Dielectric Wall Accelerator (DWA) technology allows for the utilization of high field gradients on the order of 100 MV/m to accelerate the proton bunch. Medical applications involving cancer therapy treatment usually desire short bunch lengths on the order of hundreds of picoseconds in order to limit the extent of the energy deposited in the tumor site (in 3D space, time, and deposited proton charge). Electromagnetic simulations of the DWA structure, in combination with injections of proton bunches, have been performed using 3D finite difference codes in combination with particle pushing codes. Electromagnetic simulations of DWA structures includes these effects and also includes the details of the switch configuration and how that switch time affects the electric field pulse which accelerates the particle beam. Design trade-offs include the driving switch effects, layer-to-layer coupling analysis and its affect on the pulse rise time. |

There exist analytical approximations that express the transverse geometric impedance of tapered transitions in the inductive regime as a functional of the transition boundary and its derivatives. Assuming the initial and final cross-sections and the transition length are fixed, one can minimize these functionals by appropriate choice of the boundary variation with the longitudinal coordinate. In this paper we numerically investigate how well this works for the cases of optimized tapered transitions in circular, elliptical and rectangular geometry by running ABCI, ECHO, and GDFIDL EM field solvers. We show that a significant reduction of impedance for optimized boundary compared to that of a linear taper is indeed possible in some cases, and then we compare this reduction to analytical predictions.

|
Due to reduced vertical chamber aperture around the machine, the impedance was systematically evaluated and optimized 3D-wise at SOLEIL during the design stage, whose budget was then utilized to predict instability thresholds for multi and single bunches. These theoretical calculations are compared with observed instabilities. Transverse multibunch current thresholds are followed as a function of chromaticity, identifying the transition of different head-tail regimes that reflects the broadband impedance spectrum. Although low thresholds due to resistive-wall are basically confirmed, its combined effect with ion-induced instability is found to be significant, exhibiting a strong beam filling pattern dependence. To analyse the involved dynamics, a multibunch tracking code is developed in a structure that allows parallel computations with a cluster of processors. The obtained results are compared with empirical data. Analysis of single bunch instabilities is also made with an aim to identify the enhanced reactive impedance due to NEG coating.

|
The original J-PARC RCS cavity design* used cut-cores to control the Q-value. Adjusting the distance between the C-shaped core parts the optimum Q=2 is reached. Because of problems related to the cut-core surfaces, the "hybrid cavity" was introduced, using tanks with uncut cores (Q=0.6) in parallel to tanks with cut cores with a wider gap (Q=4), resulting in total Q=2. This was successfully tested. The manufacturing procedure for cut-cores involves more steps than for uncut cores. To reduce risks for long-term operation, the RCS cavities will be loaded with uncut cores for day-1 operation. With uncut cores (Q=0.6) the maximum beam power is limited. Therefore we introduce a parallel inductor, placed in the push-pull tube amplifier driving the cavity, to adjust the Q-value to 2. Parallel vacuum capacitors shift the resonance near to 1.7 MHz. Each of the 10 cavity systems for RCS, necessary for day-1 operation, is tested for at least 300 hours to detect initial problems before installation into the RCS tunnel. We report the results of cavity performance tests with external inductor, which simulate 25Hz operation and the optimization of the combined system of cavity and amplifier.

Pohang Accelerator Laboratory has prepared to SRF 3rd harmonic cavity to increase beam lifetime and to damp orbit instability by lengthening electron bunch in PLS. The SRF cavity was developed and its vertical test was done already with success. Higher order modes were analyzed to optimize its performance in beam orbit. Most of them are not effective to electron beam, while the others have possibility to impact orbit stability. These harmful HOMs can be removed by HOM absorber installed in beam pipe.

WEPMN068 | Design of the Modulator for the CTF3 Tail Clipper Kicker | kicker, beam-losses, damping, cathode | 2185 | |||||
|
The goal of the present CLIC test facility (CTF3) is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of specific key issues in the CLIC scheme. The extracted beam from the combiner ring (CR), of 35 A in magnitude and 140 ns duration, is sent to the new CLic EXperimental area (CLEX) facility. A Tail Clipper (TC) is required, in the CR to CLEX transfer line, to allow the duration of the extracted beam pulse to be adjusted. It is proposed to use a stripline kicker for the tail clipper, with each of the deflector plates driven to equal but opposite potential. The tail clipper kick must have a fast rise-time, of not more than 5 ns, in order to minimize uncontrolled beam loss and operate at a rate of up to 50 Hz. Several different options are being investigated to meet the demanding specifications for the modulator of the tail clipper. This paper discusses options considered for the fast, high voltage, semiconductor switches and shows results of initial tests on the switches.

Funding: Work supported by a contribution from the Canada Foundation for Innovation. |
The present AGS injection kickers at A5 location were designed for 1.5 GeV proton injection. Recent high intensity runs have pushed the transfer kinetic energy to 1.94 GeV, but with an imperfect matching in transverse phase space. Space charge forces result in both fast and slow beam size growth and beam loss as the size exceeds the AGS aperture. An increase in the AGS injection energy to 2 GeV with adequate kick strength would greatly reduce the beam losses making it possible to increase the intensity from 70 TP (70 * 1012 protons/s) to 100 TP. R&D studies* have been undertaken by TRIUMF, in collaboration with BNL, to design two new kicker magnets for the AGS A10 location to provide an additional kick of 1.5 mrad to 2 GeV protons. TRIUMF has designed and built a prototype 12.5 Ω transmission line kicker magnet with rise and fall times of 100 ns, 3% to 97% and field uniformity of (±)1% over 85% of the aperture, powered by matched 12.5 Ω pulse-forming lines. This paper describes the results of detailed capacitance and inductance measurements, on the prototype magnet, and compares these with predictions from 2D and 3D electromagnetic simulations.

|
The CLIC Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS) is a passive microwave device in which bunches of the drive beam interact with the impedance of the periodically loaded waveguide and excite preferentially the synchronous mode. The RF power produced (several hundred MW) is collected at the downstream end of the structure by means of the Power Extractor and delivered to the main linac structure. The PETS geometry is a result of multiple compromises between beam stability and main linac RF power needs. Another requirement is to provide local RF power termination in case of accelerating structure failure (ON/OFF capability). Surface electric and magnetic fields, power extraction method, HOM damping, ON/OFF capability and fabrication technology were all evaluated to provide a reliable design.

In order to verify detailed impedance simulations, the modes in an aluminium model of the ILC crab cavity were investigated using a bead-pulling technique as well as a stretched-wire frequency domain measurement. The combination of these techniques allow for a comprehensive study of the modes of interest. For the wire measurement, a transverse alignment system was fabricated and rf components were carefully designed to minimize any potential impedance mismatches. The measurements are compared with direct simulations of the stretched-wire experiments using numerical electromagnetic field codes. High impedance modes of particular relevance to the ILC crab cavity are identified and characterized |

The present configuration of an ILC Main Linac RF station has 26 nine cell cavities driven from one klystron. With the addition of waveguide power coupler monitors, 96 RF signals will be downconverted and processed. A downconverter chassis is being developed that contains 12 eight channel analog modules and a single upconverter module. This chassis will first be deployed for testing a cryomodule composed of eight cavities located at New Muon Laboratory (NML) - Fermilab. Critical parts of the design for LLRF applications are identified and a detailed description of the circuit with various characteristic measurements is presented. The board is composed of an input band-pass filter centered at 1.3GHz, followed by a mixer, which downconverts the cavity probe signal to a proposed 13 MHz intermediate frequency. Cables with 8 channels per connector and good isolation between channels are being used to interconnect each downconverter module with a digital board. As mixers and power splitters are the most sensitive parts for noise, nonlinearities and cross-talk issues, special attention is given to these parts in the design of the LO port multiplication and distribution.

The field control of multiple superconducting RF cavities with a single Klystron, such as the proposed RF scheme for the ILC, requires high density (number of RF channels) signal processing hardware so that vector control may be implemented with minimum group delay. The MFC (Multichannel Field Control) module is a 33-channel, FPGA based downconversion and signal processing board in a single VXI slot, with 4 channels of high speed DAC outputs. An LO input of upto 1.6 GHz can be divided down to provide 8 clock signals through a clock distribution chip. A 32-bit, 400MHz floating point DSP provides additional computational capability for calibration and implementation of more complex control algorithms. Both the FPGA and DSP have external SDRAM memory for diagnostic data and nonvolatile Flash memory for program and configuration storage. Multiple high speed serial transceivers on the front panel and the backplane bus allow a flexible architecture for inter-module real time data exchanges. An interface CPLD supports the VXI bus protocol for communication to a Slot0 CPU, with Ethernet connections for remote in system programming of the FPGA and DSP as well as for data acquisition.

The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is a scaled storage ring using low-energy electrons to inexpensively model beams with high-space-charge. With the ability to inject such beams comes the problem of longitudinal end erosion of both the head and tail. It is important therefore to apply suitably designed longitudinal focusing forces to confine the beam and prevent it from its normal expansion. This paper presents the design and prototyping of an induction cell for this purpose. Successful operation of the induction cell would push the achievable number of turns and also enable us to perform studies of the longitudinal physics of such highly space-charge dominated beams. The pulsed voltage requirements for such a system on UMER would require ear-fields that switch 3kV in about 8ns or so for the most intense flat-top rectangular beam injected into the ring. This places a considerable challenge on the electronics used to deliver ideal waveforms with a compact module. Alternate waveforms are also being explored for other various injected beam shapes into UMER. |

A new 200 MHz RF system is being developed for the LANSCE proton drift tube linac (DTL). A planned upgrade will replace parts of the DTL RF system with new generation components. When installed for the LANSCE-R project, the new system will reduce the total number of electron power tubes from twenty-four to seven in the DTL plant. The 3.4 MW final power amplifier will use a Thales TH628 Diacrode. This state-of-the-art device eliminates the large anode modulator of the present triode system, and will be driven by a new tetrode intermediate power amplifier. In this mode of operation, this intermediate stage will provide 150 kW of peak power. The first DTL tank requires up to 400 kW of RF power, which will be provided by the same tetrode driver amplifier. A prototype system is being constructed to test components, using some of the infrastructure from previous RF projects. High voltage DC power became available through innovative re-engineering of an installed system. A summary of the design and construction of the intermediate power amplifier will be presented and test results will be summarized. |

The converter-modulator is a resonant power conditioning configuration that is optimized for a particular load impedance or parameter space. Although traction motor IGBT's are typically used for hard-switching application in the 1 kHz regime, the present use of high-power (10 - 15 MW) converter-modulators have used a 20 kHz resonant switching topology. This presents design challenges to maintain efficient and reliable switching characteristics for the IGBT's. Improved tuning methods and circuit topological changes now offer a significant reduction in IGBT switching losses as compared to those used with the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) design (perhaps by 10). These circuit and topology changes should also permit Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of the modulator output voltage to provide a regulated voltage without anomalous IGBT switching characteristics. This paper will review the results of this investigation based on models developed from the SNS converter-modulator operational data. |

To facilitate a rapid response to the International Linear Collider (ILC) L-Band development program at SLAC, a spare converter-modulator was shipped from Los Alamos. This modulator was to be a spare for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator at ORNL. The ILC application requires a 33% higher peak output power (15 MW) and output current (130 Amp). This presents significant design challenges to modify the existing hardware and yet maintain switching parameters and thermal cycling within the semiconductor component ratings. To minimize IGBT commutation and free-wheeling diode currents, a different set of optimizations, as compared to the SNS design, were used to tune the resonant switching networks. Additional complexities arose as nanocrystalline cores with different performance characteristics (as compared to SNS), were used to fabricate the resonant "boost" transformers. This paper will describe the electrical design, system modifications, modeling efforts, and resulting electrical performance as implemented for the ILC L-band test stand. |

Several high-current accelerators use feedback techniques in the accelerating RF systems to control the impedances seen by the circulating beam. These Direct and Comb Loop architectures put the high power klystron and LLRF signal processing components inside feedback loops, and the ultimate behavior of the systems depends on the individual sub-component properties. Imperfections and non-idealities in the signal processing leads to reduced effectiveness in the impedance controlled loops. In the PEP-II LLRF systems non-linear effects have been shown to reduce the achievable beam currents, increase low-mode longitudinal growth rates and reduce the margins and stability of the LLRF control loops. We present measurements of the driver amplifiers used in the PEP-II systems, and present measurement techniques needed to quantify the small-signal gain, linearity, transient response and image frequency generation of these amplifiers. Results are presented from measurements of 5 different types of amplifiers, and the trade-offs in selecting between them highlighted. |

A movable collimator (mask) with low beam impedance was proposed for high-intensity accelerators. The collimator head is supported by a ceramic rod with a thin metal coating, instead of a metal block or rod so far. Owing to the ceramic rod, beams hardly see the head, and thus the beam impedance decreases. The thin metal coating prevents the head from unwanted charge up. The head is also made of ceramic, but coated by copper to mitigate the Joule heating by beams. The SiC blocks are prepared close to the head to absorb trapped modes. Impedances and loss factors were calculated by simulation codes, and then the growth rates of coupled bunch instabilities were estimated. A trial model was designed based on the calculation, and installed in the KEK B-factory (KEKB) positron ring. The head had a cross section of 5 mm X 4 mm, and a length of 90 mm, which corresponded to about one radiation length. The performance of the trial model was investigated with beams. The temperatures of components near to the collimator were also measured, which was an indication of the intensity of excited HOM.

Photonic bandgap (PBG) fibers with hollow core defects have been suggested for use as laser driven accelerator structures. The modes of a periodic PBG fiber lie in a set of allowed bands. A fiber with a central vacuum defect can support so-called defect modes with frequencies in the bandgap and electromagnetic fields confined spatially near the central defect. A defect mode suitable for relativistic particle acceleration must have a longitudinal electric field in the central defect and a phase velocity near the speed of light (SOL). We explore the design of the defect geometry to support well-confined accelerating modes in such PBG fibers. The details of the surface boundary separating the defect from the surrounding matrix are found to be the critical ingredients for optimizing the accelerating mode properties. We give examples of improved accelerating modes in fiber geometries with modified defect surfaces. |

In this paper, we present a new design to avoid this problem. This scheme is based on a coaxial type coupler which is able to implement mode conversion and impedance matching at the same time and therefore to eliminate joint gap induced breakdown. The new structure is under construction; bench test results will be presented

One possible way to solve this problem is to use multilayered DLA structures*.

This paper presents the design of an X-band dual layer DLA structure as well as the results of bench tests of the device.

We discuss here a new technology for the development of cylindrical diamond-based waveguides and the design, fabrication and high power testing of a cylindrical diamond-based DLA accelerating structure. The electrical and mechanical properties of diamond make it an ideal candidate material for use in dielectric accelerators: high RF breakdown level, extremely low dielectric losses and the highest thermoconductive coefficient available. Multipacting of the CVD diamond can be suppressed by diamond surface dehydrogenation. A plasma supported Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technology to produce low loss high quality cylindrical diamond layers is presented.

We describe a proposed transparent dielectric grating accelerator structure that is designed for ultra-short laser pulse operation. The structure is not a waveguide, but rather it is based on the principle of periodic field reversal to achieve phase synchronicity for relativistic particles. To preserve ultra-short pulse operation it does not resonate the laser field in the vacuum channel. The geometry of the structure appears well suited for application with high average power lasers and high thermal loading. It shows potential for an unloaded gradient of several GeV/m with 10 fsec laser pulses and the possibility to accelerate high bunch charges. The fabrication procedure and proposed near-term experiments with this accelerator structure are presented.

The new ABCI also supports the dynamic memory allocation for nearly all arrays for field calculations so that the amount of memory needed for a run is determined dynamically during runtime. A user can use any number of mesh points as far as the total allocated memory is within a physical memory of his PC. As a important progress of the features, the transverse extension of Napoly integral (derived by Shobuda) has been implemented to the new ABCI: it permits calculations of wake potentials in structures extending to the inside of the beam tube radius or having unequal tube radii at the two sides not only for longitudinal but also for transverse cases, and still the integration path can be confined to a finite length, by having the integration contour beginning and ending on the beam tubes. The future upgrade plans will be also discussed. The new ABCI is available as a Windows stand-alone executable module so that no installation of the program is necessary.

A Fokker Planck equation for a Stochastic cooling* is solved by using the CIP method**. The Fokker Planck equation can be described in a convection-diffusion equation as a function of time and energy. The equation is a non linear form and the evolution of the distribution function should be numerically solved. The CIP method, which is an effective scheme to solve the convection term numerically, is applied to the Fokker Planck equation of the Stochastic cooling. By using the CIP method for the numerical solver, we can effectively calculate the time-dependent Fokker Planck equation in more few computational costs. The developed numerical solver can give us the energy spectrum of the particle distribution during the beam cooling. The simulation results show the good agreements compared with the experimental results.

THPAN078 | An Elementary Analysis of Coupled-Bunch Instabilities | simulation, coupling, damping, storage-ring | 3399 | |||||

We reconsider the equations of motion of wakefield coupled bunches in the light of recent developments in Delay Differential Equations. In the case of uniform resistive wall in a circular accelerator, we demonstrate an alternative way to obtain the growth rates. For each Fourier mode of bunch displacements, we show that multiple time domain modes can arise from an exact solution of the equation of motion. The growth rate as it is commonly defined corresponds to only one of them. The amplitude of each Fourier mode can therefore evolve with time in a way is not simply exponential. This is a result that has been observed in simulations of wakefield coupled bunches.

Recent demand of short-bunch beams poses high-order computational tools for investigating beam dynamics in order to improve the beam quality. We have studied a new computational approach with spectrally accurate high-order approximation for wake field calculations. The technique employs the standard Fourier basis combined with a post-processing procedure for noise reduction by Gegenbauer reconstruction. We integrate this scheme into the existing 2D wake field calculation code ABCI and investigate possible enhancemance of its performance on the same grid base. We will demontrate 2D wake potential simulations for various cylindrically symmetric structures with the quality improvement in comparison to the conventional lower-order method.

The demand for short bunches of 1 ps or less poses not only technical challenges in order to deliver the beams for leading-edge research but also poses computational challenges when it comes to investigating bunched multi-particle beam dynamics in order to improve the beam quality. We introduce a powerful high-order numerical tool based on spetral-element discretizations with discontinuous Galerkin approximation approach, which includes spectral element time domain solver for Maxwell's equation and electrostatic Poisson solver. We will demonstrate 3D simulations for wakefield and wake potential calculations in conducting cavity structures, as well as meshing and visualization components. We will discuss the overcome of the computational bottleneck by widely-used low-order finite difference programs for calculating wake field excited by 1-ps bunches, provided with performance and accuracy comparison.

To achieve the intensity goal a detailed knowledge of the optics and transverse impedances is necessary which can be obtained from Turn-By-Turn (TBT) beam position measurements.

A circulating ion beam in the presence of electron cooling can experience varies instabilities if the electron beam intensity is above a certain threshold. Firstly the electric field generated by the electron beam can introduce two stream instabilities of varies modes; this has already been observed in the Fermilab Recycler ring. Secondly, longitudinal cooling of the momentum spread will reduce the Landau damping efficiency and thus may make the overcooled ion beam unstable. The thresholds and growth rates of varies two stream instability modes are discussed for the existing RHIC electron cooler design. Both simulation and theoretical results are shown for the thresholds of the instabilities caused by overcooling.

The radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator is the best structure immediately after an ion source for accelerating light-ion beams with considerable currents. On the other hand, the higher-energy part of the RFQ is known to be not a very efficient accelerator. We consider alternative room-temperature RF accelerating structures for the beam velocities in the range of a few percent of the speed of light - including H-mode cavities and drift-tube linacs - and compare them with respect to their efficiency, compactness, ease of fabrication, and overall cost. Options for the beam transverse focusing in such structures are discussed. Possible applications include a compact deuteron-beam accelerator up to the energy of a few MeV for homeland defense.

Simulations indicate that the temperature gradient in the BPM body can cause deformations that could explain the false readings in some BPMs. The small dimension of the button compared to the stripline and the better thermal isolation between the button and the BPM body should contribute to minimize this problem.

3D simulation studies of the transverse impedance budget for long bunches in the FAIR synchrotrons have been started. Important transverse instability driving sources are the thin resistive wall and the kicker impedances. Major concerns are the required low momentum spreads and the additional loss of Landau damping due to the space charge tune shift. The simulation code PATRIC has been extended in order to predict coherent instability thresholds with space charge and for broadband impedance sources. Examples of code benchmarking using the numerical Schottky noise, analytical stability boundaries and comparisons with other codes will be discussed. The improvement of transverse stability in long bunches relative to a coasting beam is analyzed for different rf wave forms. Conclusions for the impedance budget in the FAIR synchrotrons are drawn. |

In the new Elettra full energy injector, bunch charge measurements will be performed by different types of current transformers (CT), depending on their position (single pass or multi pass sections). In the single pass sections (Linac and Transfer lines) a new type of current transformer (in-flange CT by Bergoz) will be used. Main advantage of this device is a compact and reliable design; they are also specially suited in space critical application. For the booster ring a standard DC current transformer will be used to measure the DC component of the circulating beam current. The housing has been developed in house, including the magnetic shield and the ceramic gap in the vacuum chamber. Furthermore, calculations of the trapped modes in the current monitor housing are described. Longitudinal coupling impedance and loss factors for these resonant modes are estimated and we showed that dissipated power is not critical with ELETTRA booster parameters.

A new interaction region (IR) vacuum chamber has been designed for the DAFNE upgrade aimed at testing of the crabbed waist collision scheme. Compared to the existing IR vacuum chamber, the new one has a simplified design and consists essentially of the confluence of straight tubes, having a double Y shape. Sharp discontinuities have been avoided to limit the beam impedance of the structure. However, the study of the electromagnetic interaction with the beam is necessary in order to avoid excessive power loss due to eventual higher order modes (HOM) trapped in the Y-shape chamber. With HFSS the first design of the chamber has been analyzed and HOMs have been found and characterized. On the basis of these results some modifications in the geometry of the IR chamber have been introduced to eliminate or attenuate these trapped resonances. The results of these simulations are presented.

The longitudinal impedance of the KEK B-factory (KEKB) button-type beam position monitors (BPMs) was recalculated by MAFIA in preparation for a future plan to increase the beam current. The diameter and the gap of the button electrode were 12 mm and 1 mm, respectively. For High Energy Ring (HER), an asymmetric structure was applied to extract the TE110 mode into the coaxial cable. The Q-value and shunt impedance were estimated at 91 and 17 Ω (at 7.6 GHz) respectively, and the beam current limit for longitudinal multi-bunch instability was 2.6 A. On the other hand, the electrode of Low Energy Ring (LER) BPM had a symmetric structure and the Q-value and shunt impedance were estimated at 133 and 8 Ω (at 7.6 GHz). In this case, the current limit was 1.7 A. Based on the experiences at the KEKB, the new BPM was designed for the Super KEKB, a future high-intensity B-factory at KEK. In order to reduce the impedance the electrode diameter was cut down to 6 mm from 12 mm. The Q-value and shunt impedance were estimated at 23 and 2 Ω (at 13 GHz). The current limit was expected to be about 7 A in full bucket operation (5120 bunches), and more than 10 kA in 4-bucket spacing operation.

Longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities in the CERN PS represent a major limitation to the high brightness beam delivered for the LHC. To identify possible impedance sources for these instabilities, machine development studies have been carried out. The growth rates of coupled bunch modes have been measured, and modes have been identified using mountain range data. Growth rate estimations from coupled bunch mode theory are compared to these results. It is shown that the longitudinal impedance of the broad resonance curve of the main 10 MHz RF system can be identified as the most probable source. Possible methods to improve the beam stability are analyzed together with the performance of a damping system. |

For many years, a horizontal head-tail instability has been observed at the CERN Proton Synchrotron during the long 1.2 s injection flat-bottom. This slow instability has been damped using linear coupling only, i.e. with neither octupoles nor feedbacks. Using the nominal machine and beam parameters for LHC, the sixth head-tail mode number is usually observed. Several other modes were also observed in the past by tuning the chromaticity, and these observations were found to be in good agreement with Sacherer's formula. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of assessing the effect of chromaticity and linear coupling on this slow head-tail instability using the HEADTAIL simulation code, and to compare these simulations with both measurements performed over the last few years, and theoretical calculations.

FRPMN075 | Resistive-Wall Impedance of an Infinitely Long Multi-Layer Cylindrical Beam Pipe | vacuum, space-charge, proton, collider | 4216 | |||||

The resistive wall impedance of cylindrical vacuum chambers was first calculated more than forty years ago under some approximations. Since then many papers have been published to extend its range of validity. In the last few years, the interest in this subject has again been revived for the LHC graphite collimators, for which a new physical regime is predicted. The first unstable betatron line in the LHC is at 8 kHz, where the skin depth for graphite is 1.8 cm, which is smaller than the collimator thickness of 2.5 cm. Hence one could think that the resistive thick-wall formula would be about right. It is found that it is not, and that the resistive impedance is about two orders of magnitude lower at this frequency, which is explained by the fact that the skin depth is much larger than the beam pipe radius. Starting from the Maxwell equations and using field matching, a consistent derivation of the transverse resistive wall impedance of an infinitely long cylindrical beam pipe is presented in this paper. The results, which should be valid for any number of layers, beam velocity, frequency, conductivity, permittivity and permeability, have been compared to previous ones.

In all storage-ring colliders, two beams propagating in opposite direction share a common beam pipe over parts or all of the ring circumference. The resistive-wall wake field coupling bunches of these two beams is different from the conventional single-beam wake field, as the magnetic force and the longitudinal electric force experienced by a probe bunch invert their sign, while the transverse electric force does not. In addition, the distance between driving and probing bunches is not constant, but the net wake field must be obtained via an integration of the force experienced over the drive-probe distance. We derive the two-beam resistive-wall wake field for a round beam pipe.

We discuss the longitudinal dynamics of an unbunched beam with a collective effect due to the vacuum chamber and with the discretness of an N-particle beam (Schottky noise) included. We start with the 2N equations of motion (in angle and energy) with random initial conditions. The 2D phase space density for the N-Particles is a sum of delta functions and satisfies the Klimontovich equation. An arbitrary function of the energy also satisfies the Klimontovich equation and we linearize about a convenient equilibrium density taking the initial conditions to be independent, identically distributed random vaiables with the equilibrium distribution. The linearized equations can be solved using a Laplace transform in time and a Fourier series in angle. The resultant stochastic process for the phase space density is analyzed and compared with a known result*. Work is in progress to study the full nonlinear problem. To gain further insight we are studying three alternative approaches: (1) a BBGKY approach, (2) an approach due to Elskens and Escande** and (3) the 'three-level-approach' of Donsker and Varadhan (see "Entropy, Large Deviations and Statistical Mechanics'', by R.

We recently studied a lattice achieving 1-nm emittance at the APS storage ring*. The successful design required very strong sextupoles in order to tune the machine to the desired positive chromaticity. A preliminary design of such magnets indicated saturation in the poles unless the vacuum chamber gets smaller by a factor of two compared to the existing APS chamber. Since the resistive wall impedance scales as 1/b3, where b is the radius of the chamber, we questioned how much current we can store in a single bunch at the 1-nm storage ring. In order to answer this question quantitatively, we calculated all wake potentials of impedance elements of the existing APS storage ring with the transverse dimension properly scaled but with the longitudinal dimension kept unchanged. With the newly calculated impedance of a smaller chamber, we estimated the single-bunch current limit. It turned out that the ring with a smaller chamber would not diminish the single-bunch current limit substantially. We present both wake potentials of 1-nm and the existing rings followed by the simulation results carried out for determining the accumulation limit to the ring.

The first Impedance Database* constructed at the Advanced Photon Source was successfully used in reproducing the main characteristics of single-bunch instabilities observed in the storage ring. However, the finite bandwidth of the corresponding impedance model was limited to 25 GHz, which happens to be the resolution limit of the density modulation observed in the microwave instability simulation. In order to resolve simulation results never verified in the experiments, we decided to extend the calculated bandwidth of impedance to 50 GHz by recalculating the wake potentials excited by a shorter bunch. Since low-order electromagnetic code requires 20-40 grid points per wavelength, reducing the bunch length required a large number of grids for the 3D structure. We used bunch lengths of 1- and 2-mm in the Gaussian distribution in the Impedance Database II project. For the large-scale computation we used the 3D electromagnetic code GdfidL ** for wake potential calculation at the cluster equipped with 240 GB of memory. The resultant wake potential excited by the short bunch together with application to the storage ring for collective effects is presented in the paper.

In recent years we have explored the application to the Advanced Photon Source (APS) of Zholents' crab-cavity-based scheme for production of short x-ray pulses. As a near-term project, the APS has elected to pursue a pulsed system using room-temperature cavities*. The cavity design has been optimized to heavily damp parasitic modes while maintaining large shunt impedance for the deflecting dipole mode**. We evaluated a system consisting of three crab cavities as an impedance source and determined their effect on the single- and multi-bunch instabilities. In the single-bunch instability we used the APS impedance model as the reference system in order to predict the overall performance of the ring when the crab cavities are installed in the future. For multi-bunch instabilities we used a realistic fill pattern, including hybrid-fill, and tracked multiple bunches where each bunch was treated as soft in distribution. To verify the electrical design, the realistic wake potential of the 3D structure was calculated using GdfidL and this wake potential was used in the multi-bunch simulations.

The short-pulse X-ray project at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) uses three room-temperature nine-cell 2.815 GHz deflecting-mode cavities in a straight section. Undamped, these cavities' higher-order and lower-order resonator modes will cause multi-bunch instabilities in longitudinal and transverse planes for any bunch pattern of a 1'000mA store. Damping of these modes must be part of the design of the cavities. We report calculations of instability growth rates and tracking simulations that were essential in specifying the rf design of the damping structures. We used various operating bunch patterns and scanned levels of damping of the cavities. Because one of the operating bunch patterns is not symmetric, we used a normal mode analysis * implemented in the APS code clinchor. Our calculation included random sampling of resonator frequencies in a reasonable range. We found that staggering of frequencies is only effective for modes that could not be heavily damped.

The Advanced Photon Source storage ring is normally operated with 100 mA of beam current. A number of high-current studies were carried out to determine the multibunch instability limits. The longitudinal multibunch instability is dominated by the rf cavity higher-order modes (HOMs), and the coupled-bunch instability (CBI) threshold is bunch-pattern dependent. We can stably store 200 mA with 324 bunches, and the CBI threshold is 245 mA. With 24 bunches, several components are approaching temperature limits above 160 mA, including the HOM dampers. We do not see any CBI at this current. The transverse multibunch instabilities are most likely driven by the resistive wall impedance; there is little evidence that the dipole HOMs contribute. Presently, we rely on the chromaticity to stabilize the transverse multibunch instabilities. When we stored beam up to 245 mA, we used high chromaticity, and the beam was transversely stable. The stabilizing chromaticity was studied as a function of current. We can use these experimental results to predict multibunch instability thresholds for various upgrade options, such as smaller-gap or longer ID chambers and the associated increased impedance. |

The AC dipole is an oscillating dipole magnet which can induce large amplitude oscillations without causing emittance growth. This makes it a good tool to measure optics of a hadron synchrotron. The vertical AC dipole for the Tevatron is powered by an inexpensive high-power audio amplifier since its operating frequency is approximately 20 kHz. The low impedance magnet is incorporated into a parallel resonant system to form an 8 Ω equivalent circuit to maximize the power output of the amplifier. The magnet used is a vertical pinger previously installed in the Tevatron making the cost relatively inexpensive. Recently, the initial system was upgraded with a more powerful amplifier and oscillation amplitudes up to 2-σ beam size were achieved at 980 GeV. The paper discusses details of the resonant circuit. It also shows test results of the system both on the bench and with the beam.

In the continuous head-tail kicking technique, a very small transverse kick is applied to the beam and the asymptotic phase difference between the head and the tail is found to be a function of chromaticity. The advantage of this method is that since the tune tracker PLL already supplies the small transverse kicks, no extra modulation is required. |

One of the action items for the damping rings of the International Linear Collider (ILC) is to compute the broad-band impedance and, from it, the threshold to the microwave instability. For the ILC it is essential that the operating current be below threshold. Operating above threshold would mean that the longitudinal emittance of the beam would be increased. More seriously, above threshold there is the possibility of time dependent variation in beam properties (e.g. the "sawtooth" effect) that can greatly degrade collider performance. In this report, we present the status of our study including calculations of: an impedance budget, a pseudo-Green's function suitable for Haissinski equation and instability calculations, and instability calculations themselves. |

In the nominal SPEAR3 storage ring optics, the natural radiation pulse length is 40ps fwhm per bunch. Due to the double-bend achromat lattice configuration, it is relatively straightforward to reduce the momentum compaction factor (α) and hence reduce the bunch length by modest values. In this paper we present streak camera measurements of the bunch length in the nominal optics, and with ~α/20 and α/50 optics as a function of single-bunch current. The results demonstrate <10ps fwhm radiation pulses with up 5x108 particles/bunch (~100μ amp). Radiation pulse power, bunch length scaling and broadband impedance estimates are discussed. |

FRPMS069 | Simulations of Stretched Wire Measurements of 3.9GHz Cavities for the ILC | simulation, dipole, scattering, coupling | 4177 | |||||
|
We present wake-field simulations on both the main superconducting cavities and on the beam delivery system crab cavities of the ILC. We utilize both finite difference and finite element computer codes to simulate the electromagnetic fields in these cavities in the presence of a stretched wire. This study is intended to both predict the wake-field in experiments on the modal characterisation of 3.9 GHz cavities in progress at the Cockcroft Institute and, to explore practical issues concerning the feasibility of using this stretched wire method to investigate modes in the ILC main cavities. Multi-cell scattering matrices and the modes in infinite periodic structures are calculated with a view to aiding the interpretation of experimental results. A modal convergence study is also included

FRPMS074 | Measurements of the Transverse Collimator Wakefields due to Varying Collimator Characteristics | simulation, controls, insertion, feedback | 4207 | |||||

Funding: EUROtev Contract #011899RIDS US DOE Contract DEAC02-76SF00515 |
We report on measurements of the transverse wakefields induced by collimators of differing characteristics. An apparatus allowing the insertion of different collimator jaws into the path of a beam was installed in End Station A (ESA) in SLAC. Eight comparable collimator geometries were designed, including one that would allow easy comparison with previous results, and were installed in this apparatus. Measurements of the beam kick due to the collimator wakefields were made with a beam energy of 28.5 GeV, and beam dimensions of ~100 microns vertically and a range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm longitudinally. The trajectory of the beam upstream and downstream of the collimator test apparatus was determined from the outputs of ten BPMs (four upstream and six downstream), thus allowing a measurement of the angular kick imparted to the beam by the collimator under test. The transverse wakefield was inferred from the measured kick. The different aperture designs, data collection and analysis, and initial comparison to theoretical and analytic predictions are presented here.

Wake fields defining beam stability affect also the beam optics and beam properties in high current machines. We present observations and analysis of the optical effects in the PEP-II SLAC B-factory, which has the record in achievement of high electron and positron currents. We study the synchronous phase and the bunch length variation along the train of bunches, overall bunch lengthening and effects of the wakes on the tune and on the Twiss parameters. This analysis is being used in upgrades of PEP II and may be applied to future B-factories and damping rings for Linear Colliders. |

The development of an electron cloud in the vacuum chambers of high intensity positron and proton storage rings may limit machine performance. The suppression of electrons in a magnet is a challenge for the positron damping ring of the International Linear Collider (ILC) as well as the Large Hadron Collider. Simulation show that grooved surfaces can significantly reduce the electron yield in a magnet. Some of the secondary electrons emitted from the grooved surface return to the surface within a few gyrations, resulting in a low effective secondary electron yield (SEY) of below 1.0 A triangular surface is an effective, technologically attractive mitigation with a low SEY and a weak dependence on the scale of the corrugations and the external magnetic field. A chamber with triangular grooved surface is proposed for the dipole and wiggler sections of the ILC and will be tested in PEP-II in 2007. The strategy of electron cloud control in ILC and the optimization of the grooved chamber such as the SEY, impedance as well as the manufacturing of the chamber, are also discussed.

For accelerator projects with ultra short electron beam, beam dynamics study has to invoke the short-range wakefield. In this paper, we first obtain the short-range dipole mode resistive wall wakefield. Analytical approach is then developed to study the single bunch transverse beam dynamics due to this short-range resistive wall wake. The results are applied to the LCLS undulator and some other proposed accelerators. |

|
In this paper we discuss computation of the coupling impedance of the vacuum chambers for the NSLS-II storage ring using the electromagnetic simulator GdfidL. The impedance of the vacuum chambers depends on the geometric dimensions of the cross-section and height of the slot in the chamber wall. Of particular concern is the complex geometry of the infrared extraction chambers to be installed in special large-gap dipole magnets. In this case, wakefields are generated due to tapered transitions and large vertical-aperture ports with mirrors near the electron beam.
