| MOPEA025 | Accelerator Production Options for 99Mo | 121 |
|
||
|
Shortages of 99Mo, the most commonly used diagnostic medical isotope, have caused great concern and have prompted numerous suggestions for alternate production methods. A wide variety of accelerator-based approaches have been suggested. In this paper we survey and compare the various accelerator-based approaches. |

| TUPEB003 | The SuperB Project Accelerator Status | 1518 |
|
||
|
The SuperB project is an international effort aiming at building in Italy a very high luminosity e+e- (1036 cm-2 sec-1) asymmetric collider at the B mesons cm energy. The accelerator design has been extensively studied and changed during the past year. The present design, - based on the new collision scheme, with large Piwinski angle and the use of 'crab' sextupoles, which has been successfully tested at the DAPHNE Phi-Factory at LNF Frascati, - provides larger flexibility, better dynamic aperture and in the Low Energy Ring spin manipulation sections, needed for having longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at the Interaction Point. The Interaction Region has been further optimized in terms of apertures and reduced backgrounds in the detector. The injector complex design has been also updated. A summary of the design status, including details on lattice and spin manipulation will be presented in this paper. |

| TUPEB024 | Solenoid Compensation for the SuperB Interaction Region | 1572 |
|
||
|
We present an approach for compensating adverse effects of the detector solenoid in the SuperB Interaction Region (IR). We place compensating solenoids around the IR quadrupole magnets to reduce the magnetic fields nearly to zero. This allows more operational headroom for superconducting IR magnets and avoids saturation of ferric IR magnets. We place stronger compensating solenoids between IR magnets to reverse the magnetic field direction. This allows adjusting the total integrated solenoid field to zero, which eliminates coordinate plane rotation and reduces vertical beam displacements in the IR. |

| TUPEB027 | A New Interaction Region Design for the Super-B Factory | 1581 |
|
||
|
A final focus magnet design that uses super-ferric magnets is introduced for the Super-B interaction region. The baseline design has air-core super-conducting quadrupoles. This idea instead uses super-conducting wire in an iron yoke. The iron is in the shape of a Panofsky quadrupole and this allows for two quadrupoles to be side-by-side with no intervening iron as long as the gradients of the two quads are equal. This feature allows us to move in as close as possible to the collision point and minimize the beta functions in the interaction region. The super-ferric design has advantages as well as drawbacks and we will discuss these in the paper. |

| WEPEA074 | A Baseline Design for PEP-X: an Ultra-low Emittance Storage Ring | 2657 |
|
||
|
Over the past year, we have worked out a baseline design for PEP-X, as an ultra-low emittance storage ring that could reside in the existing 2.2-km PEP-II tunnel. The design features a hybrid lattice with double bend achromat cells in two arcs and theoretical minimum emittance cells in the remaining four arcs. Damping wigglers reduce the horizontal emittance to 86 pm-rad at zero current for a 4.5 GeV electron beam. At a design current of 1.5 A, the horizontal emittance increases, due to intra-beam scattering, to 164 pm-rad when the vertical emittance is maintained at a diffraction limited 8 pm-rad. The baseline design will produce photon beams achieving a brightness of 1022 (ph/s/mm2/mrad2/0.1% BW) at 10 keV in a 3.5-m conventional planar undulator. Our study shows that an optimized lattice has adequate dynamic aperture, while accommodating a conventional off-axis injection system. In this paper, we will present the study of the lattice properties, nonlinear dynamics, intra-beam scattering and Touschek lifetime, and collective instabilities. Finally, we discuss the possibility of partial lasing at soft X-ray wavelengths using a long undulator in a straight section. |

| WEPEB034 | Superb Bunch-by-bunch Feedback R&D | 2761 |
|
||
|
The SuperB project has the goal to build in the Frascati or Tor Vergata area, an asymmetric e+/e- Super Flavor Factory to achieve a peak luminosity > 1036 cm-2 s-1. The SuperB design is based on collisions with extremely low vertical emittance beams. A source of emittance growth comes from the bunch by bunch feedback systems producing high power correction signals to damp the beams. To limit any undesirable effect, a large R&D program is in progress, partially funded by the INFN Fifth National Scientific Committee through the SFEED (SuperB feedback) project approved within the 2010 budget. One of the first steps of the R&D program consists in the upgrade and test of new 12-bit feedback systems in the vertical plane of the DAΦNE main rings. The systems are the direct evolution of the previous 8-bit system design by a KEK/SLAC/LNF collaboration, yielding a good compatibility with the powerful diagnostics and analysis programs developed in the past. Studies on their effects in the longitudinal plane are also in progress. |
