| TUPEC021 | SW/TW Hybrid Photoinjector and its Application to the Coherent THz Radiation | 1758 |
|
||
|
A unique SW/TW hybrid photoinjector are being developed under the collaboration of UCLA, LNF/INFN, and University of Rome. It can produce 240-fs (rms) bunch with 500 pC at 21 MeV. The bunch distribution has a strong spike (54 fs FWHM) and the peak current is over 2kA. As the bunch form factor at 1 THz is 0.43, it can produce coherent radiation at 1 THz. We are considering three types of way to generate it; coherent Cherenkov radiation (CCR), superradiant FEL, and coherent transition/edge radiation (CTR/CER). CCR used hollow dielectric with the outer surface metallic-coated. OOPIC simulation showed 21 MW of the peak power (5 mJ) at 1 THz. For FEL and CTR/CER simulation, QUINDI, which was written at UCLA to solve the Lienard-Wiechert potential, was used to calculate the radiation properties. In the contrast to CCR, their spectra were broad and their pulse lengths were short. They will be useful for fast pumping. |

Recently the peak luminosity achieved on the DAΦNE collider has been improved by almost a factor 3 by implementing a novel collision scheme based on large Piwinski angle and Crab-Waist. This encouraging result opened new perspectives for physics research and a new run with the KLOE-2 detector has been scheduled to start by spring 2010. The KLOE-2 installation is a complex operation requiring a careful design effort and a several months long shutdown. The high luminosity interaction region has been deeply revised in order to take into account the effect on the beam caused by the solenoidal field of the experimental detector and to ensure background rejection. The shutdown has been also used to implement several other modifications aimed at improving beam dynamics: the wiggler poles have been displaced from the magnet axis in order to cancel high order terms in the field, the feedback systems have been equipped with stronger power supplies and more efficient kickers and electrodes have been inserted inside the wiggler and the dipole vacuum chambers, in the positron ring, to avoid the e-cloud formation. A low level RF feedback has been added to the cavity control in both rings. |

| TUPD056 | Update of the SPS Impedance Model | 2057 |
|

|
The beam coupling impedance of the CERN SPS is expected to be one of the limitations to an intensity upgrade of the LHC complex. In order to be able to reduce the SPS impedance, its main contributors need to be identified. An impedance model for the SPS has been gathered from theoretical calculations, electromagnetic simulations and bench measurements of single SPS elements. The current model accounts for the longitudinal and transverse impedance of the kickers, the horizontal and vertical electrostatic beam position monitors, the RF cavities and the 6.7 km beam pipe. In order to assess the validity of this model, macroparticle simulations of a bunch interacting with this updated SPS impedance model are compared to measurements performed with the SPS beam. |

| THPEA008 | Experimental Characterization of the RF Gun Prototype for the SPARX-FEL Project | 3688 |
|

The quest for high brightness beams is a crucial key for the SPARX-FEL Project. In this paper, we present the design (including RF modeling, cooling, thermal and stress analyses as well as frequency detuning) of a single feed S-Band RF Gun capable of running near 500 Hz. An alternative design with dual feed has already been designed. Also, experimental results from the RF characterization of the prototype, including field measurements, are presented. The RF design follows the guidelines of the LCLS Gun, but the approach diverges significantly as far as the management of the cooling and mechanical stress is concerned. Finally, we examine the new proprietary approach of RadiaBeam Technologies for fabricating copper structures with intricate internal cooling geometries that may enable very high repetition rate. * C.Limborg et al., "RF Design of the LCLS Gun". |

| THPEA060 | Status of High Power Tests of Normal Conducting Single-Cell Standing Wave Structures | 3810 |

We report results of ongoing high power tests of single cell standing wave structures. These tests are part of an experimental and theoretical study of rf breakdown in normal conducting structures at 11.4 GHz. The goal of this study is to determine the accelerating gradient capability of normal-conducting rf powered particle accelerators. The test setup consists of reusable mode-launchers and short test structures powered by SLAC's XL-4 klystron. We have tested structures of different geometries, cell joining techniques, and materials, including hard copper alloys and molybdenum. We found that the behavior of the breakdown rate is reproducible for different structures of the same geometry and material. The breakdown rate dependence on peak magnetic fields is stronger than on peak surface electric fields for structures of different geometries. |

| WEPD018 | Status of COLDDIAG: a Cold Vacuum Chamber for Diagnostics | 3126 |
|
||
|
One of the still open issues for the development of superconducting insertion devices is the understanding of the beam heat load. With the aim of measuring the beam heat load to a cold bore and the hope to gain a deeper understanding in the beam heat load mechanisms, a cold vacuum chamber for diagnostics is under construction. The following diagnostics will be implemented: i) retarding field analyzers to measure the electron flux, ii) temperature sensors to measure the total heat load, iii) pressure gauges, iv) and mass spectrometers to measure the gas content. The inner vacuum chamber will be removable in order to test different geometries and materials. This will allow the installation of the cryostat in different synchrotron light sources. COLDDIAG will be built to fit in a short straight section at ANKA. A first installation at the synchrotron light source DIAMOND is under discussion. Here we describe the technical design report of this device and the planned measurements with beam. |

In the frame of the SPARC-X project, the energy of the Photo-Injector SPARC, in operation at INFN-LNF, will be upgraded from 180 to 250 MeV by replacing a low gradient S-band traveling wave accelerating section with two C-band units, designed and developed at LNF. The new system will consist of a 50 MW klystron, supplied by a pulsed modulator, to feed the high gradient C-band structures through a RF pulse compressor. This paper deals with the design of the full system, the C-band R&D activity and study of the related beam dynamics. |
