MOPC013 | Design, Fabrication and High Power RF Test of a C-band Accelerating Structure for Feasibility Study of the SPARC Photo-injector Energy Upgrade | 89 |
|
||
The energy upgrade of the SPARC photo-injector from 170 to 250 MeV will be done by replacing a low gradient 3m S-Band structure with two 1.5m high gradient C-band structures. The structures are traveling wave, constant impedance sections, have symmetric waveguide input couplers and have been optimized to work with a SLED RF input pulse. A prototype with a reduced number of cells has been fabricated and tested at high power in KEK (Japan) giving very good performances in terms of breakdown rates at high accelerating gradient (>50 MV/m). The paper illustrates the design criteria of the structures, the fabrication procedure and the high power RF test results. | ||
TUPO008 | Electron Linac Optimization for Driving Bright Gamma-ray Sources based on Compton Back-scattering | 1461 |
|
||
We study the optimal lay-out and RF frequency for a room temperature GeV-class Electron Linac aiming at producing electron beams that enhance gamma-ray sources based on Compton back-scattering. These emerging novel sources, generating tunable, mono-chromatic, bright photon beams in the range of 5-20 MeV for nuclear physics as well as nuclear engineering, rely on both, high quality electron beams and J-class high repetition-rate synchronized laser systems in order to achieve the maximum spectral density of the gamma-ray beam (# photons/sec/eV). The best option among the conventionally used RF linac-bands (S, C, X) and possible hybrid schemes will be analyzed and discussed, focusing the study in terms of best performances for the gamma-ray source, its reliability and compactness. We show that the best possible candidates for a Gamma-ray driver are quite similar to those of FEL Linacs. | ||
THYB01 | Advanced Beam Manipulation Techniques at SPARC | 2877 |
|
||
SPARC in Frascati is a high brightness photo-injector used to drive Free Electron Laser experiments and explore advanced beam manipulation techniques. The R&D effort made for the optimization of the beam parameters will be presented here, together with the major experimental results achieved. In particular, we will focus on the generation of sub-picosecond, high brightness electron bunch trains via velocity bunching technique (the so called comb beam). Such bunch trains can be used to drive tunable and narrow band THz sources, FELs and plasma wake field accelerators. | ||

THPZ004 | DAΦNE Tune-up for the KLOE-2 Experiment | 3687 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the EuCARD research programme within the 'Assessment of Novel Accelerator Concepts' work package (ANAC-WP11). In its continuous evolution DAΦNE, the Frascati lepton collider, is starting a new run for the KLOE-2 experiment, an upgraded version of the KLOE one. A new interaction region, based on the high luminosity Crab-Waist collision scheme, has been designed, built and installed. Several machine subsystems have been revised according to innovative design concepts in order to improve beam dynamics. Collimators and shieldings have been upgraded in order to minimize the background rates on the detector during coasting as well as injection operation. A wide measurement campaign has been undertaken to verify and quantify the effect of the modifications and to tune-up the collider in view of the 3 years long data-taking foreseen to deliver ~5 fb-1 to the experiment. |
