MOP240 | High Energy Tests of Advanced Materials for Beam Intercepting Devices at CERN HiRadMat Facility | simulation, vacuum, laser, proton | 136 |

Predicting by simulations the consequences of LHC particle beams hitting Collimators and other Beam Intercepting Devices (BID) is a fundamental issue for machine protection: this can be done by resorting to highly non-linear numerical tools (Hydrocodes). In order to produce accurate results, these codes require reliable material models that, at the extreme conditions generated by a beam impact, are either imprecise or nonexistent. To validate relevant constitutive models or, when unavailable, derive new ones, a comprehensive experimental test foreseeing intense particle beam impacts on six different materials, either already used for present BID or under development for future applications, is being prepared at CERN HiRadMat facility. Tests will be run at medium and high intensity using the SPS proton beam (440 GeV). Material characterization will be carried out mostly in real time relying on embarked instrumentation (strain gauges, microphones, temperature and pressure sensors) and on remote acquisition devices (Laser Doppler Vibrometer and High-Speed Camera). Detailed post-irradiation analyses are also foreseen after the cool down of the irradiated materials. | |||
TUO1C06 | Instrumentation Developments and Beam Studies for the Fermilab Proton Improvement Plan Linac Upgrade and New RFQ Front-End | rfq, linac, proton, ion-source | 315 |

Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359. Fermilab is developing a Proton Improvement Plan (PIP) to increase throughput of it's the proton source. The plan addresses hardware modifications to increase repetition rate and improve beam loss while ensuring viable operation of the proton source through 2025. The first phase of the PIP will enable the Fermilab proton source to deliver 1.8·1017 protons per hour by mid-2013. As part of this initial upgrade, Fermilab plans to install a new front-end consisting of dual H− ion sources and a 201 MHz pulsed RFQ. This talk will present beam studies measurements of this new front-end as well as present new beam instrumentation upgrades for the Fermilab linac. |

FRO1B02 | Qinclosing Plenary Summary of Working Group E:Diagnostics and Instrumentation for High-Intensity Beams | diagnostics, beam-losses, linac, proton | 625 |
|
|||
Working Group E Summary: Working group E was charged with presentations and discussions on diagnostics and instrumentation of high intensity beams. We had 2 sessions, consisting of a total of 12 talks, each of 20 minutes for presentation followed by some discussion. One session was followed by a discussion session of two hours. All sessions took place in parallel with the sessions of WG-D (Commissioning, operations and performance), inevitably preventing some possibly useful overlap. In addition, seven posters, regarding beam diagnostics, were presented in the single poster session. | |||
