TUPC162 | Thin Foil-based Secondary Emission Monitor for Low Intensity, Low Energy Beam Profile Measurements | 1413 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by STFC, the EU under GA-ITN-215080, the Helmholtz Association and GSI under VH-NG-328. A secondary emission monitor (SEM) was developed for beam profile measurements at the Ultra-low energy Storage Ring (USR) that will be installed at the future Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. The detector consists of an Aluminium foil on negative potential, a grounded mesh placed in front of the foil, a chevron type microchannel plate (MCP), a phosphor screen and a camera connected to a PC. Simulations of the optimized design together with experimental results with keV protons are presented in this contribution. In addition, the usability of the detector for low energy antiproton beam profile measurements is discussed. |

TUODA03 | The Status of the ALICE Accelerator R&D Facility at STFC Daresbury Laboratory | 934 |
|
||
Funding: Science and Technology Facilities Council The ALICE accelerator, the first energy recovery machine in Europe, has recently demonstrated lasing of an infra-red free electron laser (IR-FEL). The current status of the machine and recent developments are described. These include: lasing of the IR-FEL, a programme of powerful coherent terahertz radiation research, electro-optic diagnostic techniques, development of high precision timing and distribution system, implementation of digital low level RF control. ALICE also serves as an injector for the EMMA non-scaling FFAG machine. |

TUPS041 | Thermo-mechanical Study of a CLIC Bunch Train hitting a Beryllium Energy Spoiler Model | 1629 |
|
||
A thermo-mechanical study of the impact a CLIC bunch train has over a beryllium energy spoiler has been made. Beryllium has a high electrical and thermal conductivity which together with a large radiation length compared to other metals makes it an optimal candidate for a long tapered design spoiler that will not generate high wakefields, which might degrade the orbit stability and affect the collider luminosity. This paper shows the progress made from the paper presented last year in IPAC 2010. While in the aforementioned paper the study of the temperature and stress was made for the duration of the bunch train this time the study shows the evolution of the stress in the spoiler body 3 microseconds after the bunch train hit. | ||
WEPC176 | Beam Loss Monitoring and Machine Protection System Design and Application for the ALICE Test Accelerator at Daresbury Laboratory | 2400 |
|
||
ALICE is a demonstrator accelerator system which has been designed and built at Daresbury Laboratory. The heart of this facility is an ERL accelerator and a powerful multi-terrawatt laser. It serves as an advanced test facility for novel accelerator and photon science applications. Beam loss monitoring and machine protection systems are vital areas for the successful operation of ALICE. These systems are required, both for efficient machine set up and for hardware protection during operation. This paper gives an overview of the system design, commissioning details and a summary of the systems’ effectiveness as a diagnostic tool. | ||
