MOPF01 | Transverse Beam Size Measurements Using Interferometry at ALBA | vacuum, transverse, synchrotron, radiation | 193 |
|
|||
Double-slit interferometry using visible light has been used for measuring the transverse beam size in different accelerators. The beam size is inferred from the analysis of the spatial coherence of the synchrotron light produced by a bending magnet. At ALBA, this technique has been implemented with moderate success, mainly limited by the present imperfections in the in-vacuum mirror that is used to extract the light out of the vacuum chamber. In this paper, we report the results obtained with the current set-up, and discuss possible improvements. | |||
MOPF08 | Design and Performance of the Upgraded LHC Synchrotron Light Monitor | LHC, focusing, undulator, optics | 220 |
|
|||
The LHC is equipped with two synchrotron radiation systems, one per beam, used to measure the transverse bunch distributions. The light emitted by a superconducting undulator and/or by a dipole magnet (depending on beam energy) is intercepted by an extraction mirror in vacuum and sent through a viewport to the imaging Beam Synchrotron Radiation Telescope (BSRT). The first version of the telescope, used from 2009 to mid 2012, was based on spherical focusing mirrors in order to minimize chromatic aberrations. However, this required a very complicated delay line in order to switch the focus between the two different light sources as a function of beam energy. A new system based on optical lenses was designed and installed in mid 2012 in order to simplify the optical line and thus reduce misalignment and focusing errors. The first results with LHC beam using this new system showed a significant reduction in the correction factor required to match the emittance as measured by wire scanners. This contribution discusses the performance of the new optical system, presenting the LHC results and comparing simulations with measurement performed in the laboratory using a BSRT replica. | |||
MOPF34 | Nuclotron Deuterons Beam Parameters Measurements Using SSNTD | target, vacuum, quadrupole, synchrotron | 299 |
|
|||
ADS are considered as prospective nuclear installations for energy production and nuclear waste transmutation or recycling. The international project “Energy and Transmutation Radioactive Wastes” running in the Laboratory of High Energy Physics at JINR (Dubna, Russia) at the accelerator complex “Nuclotron” is aimed at a feasibility study of using a deeply subcritical natural or depleted uranium or thorium active core with very hard neutron spectrum inside for effective burning of the core material together with spent nuclear fuel. For any ADS experiment a necessary and a key element is beam diagnostics. In this paper a technique for precise measurement of deuteron beam parameters using SSNTD, developed within the bounds of “E&T RAW” project, is presented. The deuteron beam parameters, specifically beam shape, size and position on a target, are obtained from track density distribution on the irradiated track detectors. The presented technique has a resolution of 1 mm. The experimental results of beam parameter measurements for deuterons with energies of 2, 4 and 8 GeV at the irradiation of the uranium subcritical assembly “QUINTA”, obtained with the SSNTD technique, are presented. | |||

TUPC19 | First Beam Tests of a Prototype Cavity Beam Position Monitor for the CLIC Main Beam | single-bunch, beam-position, BPM, pick-up | 411 |
|
|||
Beam position monitors (BPMs) throughout the CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) main linac and beam delivery system must routinely operate at 50 nm resolution and be able to make multiple position measurements within a single 156 ns long bunch train. A prototype cavity beam position monitor, designed to demonstrate this performance, has been tested on the probe beamline of CTF3 (the CLIC Test Facility). Sensitivity measurements of the dipole mode position cavity and of the monopole mode reference cavity have been made. The characteristics of signals from short and long bunch trains and the dominant systematic effects have also been studied. | |||
TUPF05 | Particle Tracking for the FETS Laser Wire Emittance Scanner | laser, simulation, diagnostics, emittance | 503 |
|
|||
The Front End Test Stand (FETS) is an R&D project at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) with the aim to demonstrate a high power (60 mA, 3 MeV with 50 pps and 10 % duty cycle), fast chopped H− ion beam. The diagnostics of high power particle beams is difficult due to the power deposition on diagnostics elements introduced in the beam so non-invasive instrumentation is highly desirable. The laser wire emittance scanner under construction is based on a photo-detachment process utilizing the neutralized particles produced in the interaction between Laser and H− beam for beam diagnostics purposes. The principle is appropriate to determine the transversal beam density distribution as well as the transversal and longitudinal beam emittance behind the RFQ. The instrument will be located at the end of the MEBT with the detachment taking place inside a dipole field. Extensive particle tracking simulations have been performed for various settings of the MEBT quadrupoles to investigate the best placement and size of the 2D scintillating detector and to determine the range and resolution of the instrument. Additionally the power distribution in the following beam dumps has been determined. | |||
TUPF10 | A Non-Intercepting Beam Emittance Measurement Device Based on Neutral Beam Fluorescence Method at PKU | emittance, ion, ion-source, transverse | 522 |
|
|||
A new concept to attain ion beam emmitance through measuring the forward neutral beam without intercepting the beam transportion was proposed at PKU. The forward neutral beam produced by space charge compensation and separated from the transporting ion beam with the help of a deflecting magnetic field, carries the entire emittance information of the original particle beam and becomes a fast and non-interceptive beam diagnostic tool. This idea was tested on PKU ion source test bench and the experimental results show that the neutral beam fluorescence method is feasible. Bases on these qualification results, a formal non-intercepting emittance measurement device was designed. It is a 90 degree full-scale dipole analysis magnet combining with the classical pepper-pot technique. Test and commissioning of the device are in progress. Details of design and comnissioning results will be presented in this paper. | |||
WEBL3 | Wake Field Monitors in a Multi Purpose X Band Accelerating Structure | alignment, CERN, longitudinal, emittance | 634 |
|
|||
In a collaboration between CERN, PSI and Sincrotrone Trieste (ST), a series of four multipurpose X-band accelerating structures has been designed and fabricated. These feature integrated wake field monitors (WFMs), which are used to measure the alignment (offset and tilt) between structure and beam. One structure has recently been installed in the SwissFEL Injector Test facility (SITF) at PSI. The WFM front end electronics will be developed within the EuCard2 framework, so for the measurements described in this paper we used the raw WFM signals. We compare these measurements to the theoretical results obtained via an equivalent circuit model used in the design and numerical calculations. The beam tests show that by minimizing the WFM signals, the emittance dilution given by the transverse wakes, crucial because of the small aperture of the structure, is minimized as well. | |||

WECL2 | Radiation Damages and Characterization in the SOLEIL Storage Ring | radiation, quadrupole, vacuum, SOLEIL | 644 |
|
|||
After six years of operation, equipment located close to some vacuum chambers of the SOLEIL storage ring show unexpected damages due to radiation. It has been pointed out that, inside the so called “quadrupole” vacuum chambers, fluorescence X-rays are emitted by the materials that intercept upstream dipole synchrotron radiation. The energy of the emitted X-ray is too high to be significantly attenuated by the aluminum of which the vacuum chamber is made. Diagnostics and means used to characterize this radiation are presented, and measurements are compared to calculations. | |||

WEPC24 | Performance Measurements of the New X-Band Cavity BPM Receiver | BPM, LCLS, undulator, SLAC | 735 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by U.S. Department of Energy under Contract Numbers DE-AC02-06CH11357 and DE-AC02-76SF00515 SLAC is developing a new X-band Cavity BPM receiver for use in the LCLS-II. The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) will be a free electron laser (FEL) at SLAC producing coherent 0.5-77 Angstroms hard and soft x-rays. To achieve this level of performance precise, stable alignment of the electron beam in the undulator is required. The LCLS-II cavity BPM system will provide single shot resolution better than 50 nm resolution at 200 pC*. The Cavity BPM heterodyne receiver is located in the tunnel close to the cavity BPM. The receiver will processes the TM010 monopole reference cavity signal and a TM110 dipole cavity signal at approximately 11 GHz using a heterodyne technique. The heterodyne receiver will be capable of detecting a multibunch beam with a 50ns fill pattern. A new LAN communication daughter board will allow the receiver to talk to an input-output-controller (IOC) over 100 meters to set gains, control the phase locked local oscillator, and monitor the status of the receiver. We will describe the design methodology including noise analysis, Intermodulation Products analysis. * Commissioning and Performance of LCLS Cavity BPMs, Stephen Smith, et al., Proc. of PAC 2009 |

WEPF11 | Emittance Measurement Using X-Ray Lenses at the ESRF | emittance, electron, photon, lattice | 833 |
|
|||
During the year 2011, X-ray lenses were tested as an alternative way of emittance measurement in the ESRF storage ring. Following these tests it was decided to install a new bending magnet diagnostics beam port dedicated primarily to a permanent emittance measurement using X-ray lens imaging. The new beam port is equipped with a thin (0.6 mm) double CVD diamond window instead of 3 mm aluminium used at the pinhole beam ports. This increases the X-ray transmission, especially at low energies. The imaging and emittance measurement using aluminium lenses is discussed in comparison to the emittance measurement based on pinhole imaging. Although the principle works correctly, the setup presents different practical difficulties, such as low signal intensity and heat load. | |||
WEPF12 | Characterisation of Al-Compound Refractive Lenses for X-Rays | ESRF, LEFT, photon, emittance | 837 |
|
|||
We report on measurements of the surface quality (shape) of aluminium compound refractive lenses using a thin collimated X-ray beam from one of our bending magnet diagnostics beam ports. Two types of lenses were tested for overall radius of curvature, surface quality and thickness: commercially available lenses (RWTH Aachen), and lenses of the same type manufactured at the ESRF. The different surface qualities can be readily discerned with our relatively simple setup. While the technique should be improved for more precise results, it already shows clearly the imperfect surface structure of the ESRF lenses. The image quality of the beam, however, is not affected to a visible extent in our emittance measurement setup at vertical emittances of typically ~ 6 pm. | |||
WEPF35 | Current Status of the Schottky Cavity Sensor for the CR at FAIR | coupling, shielding, vacuum, simulation | 907 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by the GSI. The author would like to thank the CST AG for providing CST Studio Suite. In this paper the current status of the Schottky Cavity Sensor development for the Collector Ring at FAIR, a dedicated storage ring for secondary particles, rare isotopes, and antiprotons, is presented. Designed for longitudinal and transversal Schottky signals, the Sensor features a pillbox cavity with attached waveguide filters utilizing the Monopole mode at 200 MHz for longitudinal and the Dipole mode at around 330 MHz for transversal Schottky measurements. Separated coupling structures allow for mode-selective coupling to measure the different Schottky planes independently. A ceramic vacuum shielding inside the pillbox is implemented to enable non-hermetic adjustable coupling, tuning devices and waveguide structures. Simulations of the structure with focus on the impact of the coupling structures and the ceramic vacuum shielding on the R-over-Q values and the coupling are presented as well as measurements of a scaled demonstrator including comparisons with the simulations. |
