	The Australian Synchrotron injection system and storage ring have been retuned to 1.5 GeV for use in special operations and machine development modes. The systems were designed for 3 GeV user operations but for certain research a lower energy of 1.5 GeV is advantageous. A description of how the new low energy mode was achieved is given, including extraction on the fly from the booster synchrotron and scaling of the storage ring lattice.

	An 18 GHz superconducting ECRIS has also been installed to increase beam currents and to extend the variety of ions, especially for highly charged heavy ions which can be accelerated by RCNP cyclotrons. The mirror magnetic field is produced with four liquid-helium-free superconducting coils and the permanent magnet hexapole is of Halbach type with 24 pieces of NEOMAX-44H material. The production development of several ions like B, O, N, Ne, Ar, Ni, Kr and Xe has been performed. Further study for its beam extraction and transport have been done in order to increase the beam injected to cyclotron. The parameters of extraction systems and electrostatic lens are optimized taking account with magnetic field leakage from AVF Cyclotron. Emittance study also has been done to see the quality of injection beam. For that purpose two types of emittance monitor have been developed. One is using three wire profile monitor and another has BPM with rotating wire for quick measurement. The details of these developments will be presented.

In this paper, orbit correction is done based on XAL Orbit Correction application with the algorithm modified partially and the result was according with by AT toolbox. Meanwhile, the orbit correction before the target was special considered for the beams striking the target center vertically.

MOPFI007	SIS-18 RF Knock-Out Optimization Studies	resonance, dipole, septum, synchrotron	297
	M.M. Kirk, D. Ondreka, P.J. Spiller GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
	The extraction efficiency and spill temporal-structure of the SIS-18 heavy ion synchrotron are part of the upgrades to the GSI accelerator complex. Losses to the extraction septum can be minimised through implementation of the Hardt condition resulting however in a poorer quality of the spill microstructure at resolutions of a few microseconds due to lowering of the horizontal chromaticity from its 'natural' value. Ways to improve the extraction efficiency and spill microstructure are investigated with a tracking code. One possibility for improvement may be to use an alternative RF modulation applied to the knock-out exciter.

MOPFI028	Physical Design Progress of an 800 MeV High Power Proton Driver	cyclotron, space-charge, injection, acceleration	342

	We presented the conceptual design of an 800 MeV high power proton ring cyclotron in the paper[1] . A more detailed physical design was carried out since then. The most challenging issues regarding the high power operation, including the space charge effects and beam loss during the extraction, are quantitatively studied by using state-of-the-art high performance computation technique. On that basis the fundamental structure of the cyclotron is adjusted and optimized so as to meet the requirements of MW-class operation. Reference: [1] T. Zhang, J. Yang, M.

MOPFI030	Study of the Beam Injection and Extraction of the Proton Irradiation Accelerator	injection, proton, kicker, synchrotron	348
	Y.W. An, H.F. Ji, S. Wang IHEP, Beijing, People's Republic of China
	The proton irradiation accelerator is widely founded for industry application, and the extracted beam is required to have large intensity as a pulse beam or uniform distribution for scanning. A multi-turn injection is adopted and the proton beam is injected into the ring with the energy of 10MeV. In order to increase injection beam intensity, local bump orbit including two-bump, three-bump and four-bump is well studied and optimized, and the septum magnet thickness and localization are also studied for an effective injection. A RF knock-out method is used for slow extraction due to the fast response character. In order to decrease the global spill, double RF kicker and the control of the aptitude modulation (AM) function of the transverse RF field are well studied.

MOPFI041	Study of Beam Longitudinal Motion for SSC	simulation, injection, cyclotron, acceleration	378
	X.N. Li, Y.J. Yuan IMP, Lanzhou, People's Republic of China
	The injection, acceleration and extraction of SSC（Separate Sector Cyclotron） is analyzed and simulated to get the longitudinal acceptance, using the typical ion 238U³⁶⁺ with energy 9.7MeV/u. In order to study the actual longitudinal acceptance of SSC, the isochronous magnetic field model in coincidence with the real one is established by Kr-Kb and Lagrange methods based on the actual measurement. Under the isochronous magnetic field, the longitudinal acceptance at the injection, acceleration and extraction is calculated. From the simulation results the transmission efficiency is very low in SSC because of the large phase width of the beam from the injector SFC (Sector Focus Cyclotron). In the machine commissioning, the phase width of the beam line from SFC to SSC is measured by the phase probe, the results show that the actual phase width is larger than the acceptance of SSC.

MOPFI046	Transverse RF Kicker Excitation and Longitudinal RF Noise Diffusion for Slow Extraction from SAPT	kicker, simulation, synchrotron, resonance	386
	L. Ouyang, M. Gu, D.M. Li, Q. Yuan, M.Z. Zhang SINAP, Shanghai, People's Republic of China
	Two key techniques used in the slow extraction from synchrotron accelerator: longitudinal RF stochastic noise acceleration, and transverse RF knock out excitation have been studied in this paper. Detailed comparison have revealed the potentials and limits of both methods. For the longitudinal RF stochastic acceleration excitation, the focus has been the phase space compression of particles, which makes the them to hasten around the RF bucket of the cavity, thus to lower the senstivity to ripple. For the transverse RF knock out excitation, the emphasis have been optimal schemes of amplitude modulation and frequency modulation of the RF singals. The optimizations are also used to lower the senstivity of the beam to the ripple and to enhance the uniformity of the extracted beam.

MOPFI050	Non-local Fast Extraction from the CERN SPS at 100 and 440 GeV	kicker, simulation, septum, injection	392
	F.M. Velotti, A. Alekou, W. Bartmann, E. Carlier, K. Cornelis, I. Efthymiopoulos, B. Goddard, L.K. Jensen, V. Kain, M. Kowalska, V. Mertens, R. Steerenberg CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The Long Straight Section 2 (LSS2) of the CERN SPS is connected with the North Area (NA), to which the beam to date has always been extracted using a resonant extraction technique. For new proposed short- and long-baseline neutrino experiments, a fast single turn extraction to this experimental area is required. As there are no kickers in LSS2, and the integration of any new kickers with the existing electrostatic septum would be problematic, a solution has been developed to fast extract the beam using non-local extraction with other SPS kickers. Two different kicker systems have been used, the injection kicker in LSS1 and the stronger extraction kicker in LSS6 to extract 100 and 440 GeV beam, respectively. For both solutions a large emittance beam was extracted after 5 or 9 full betatron periods. The concept and simulation details are presented with the analysis of the aperture and beam loss considerations and experimental results collected during a series of beam tests.

MOPFI051	Beam Transfer Systems for the LAGUNA-LBNO Long Baseline Neutrino Beam from the CERN SPS	kicker, injection, target, septum	395
	B. Goddard, W. Bartmann, I. Efthymiopoulos, Y. Papaphilippou, A.S. Parfenova CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	For the Long Baseline neutrino facility under study at CERN (LAGUNA-LBNO) it is initially planned to extract a 400 GeV beam from the second long straight section in the SPS into the existing transfer channel TT20 leading to the North Area experimental zone, to a new target aligned with a far detector in Finland. In a second phase a new High-Power Proton Synchrotron (HPPS) accelerator is proposed, to give a 2 MW beam at about 50 GeV on the same target. In this paper the beam transfer systems required for the project are outlined, including the new sections of transfer line between the SPL, HPPS and SPS, and from the SPS to the target, and also the injection and extraction systems in the long straight section of the HPPS. The feasibility of a 4 GeV H⁻ injection system is discussed.

MOPFI053	Upgrades of the SPS, Transfer Line and LHC Injection Protection Devices for the HL-LHC Era	injection, vacuum, kicker, coupling	401

	The challenging High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) beam requirements will lead in the future to unprecedented beam parameters along the LHC injector chain. In the SPS accelerator these requests translate into about a factor two higher intensity and brightness than the present design performance. In addition to the challenge of producing and accelerating such beams, these parameters affect the resistance of the existing equipment against beam impact. Most of the protection devices in the SPS ring, its transfer lines and the LHC injection areas will be put under operational constraints which are beyond their design specification. The equipment concerned has been reviewed and their resistance to the HL-LHC beams checked. Theoretical and simulation studies have been performed for the SPS beam scraping system, the protection devices and the dump absorbers of the SPS-to-LHC transfer lines, as well as for the LHC injection protection devices. The first results of these studies are reported, together with the future prospects.

MOPFI055	Design Study of a 100 GeV Beam Transfer Line from the SPS for a Short Baseline Neutrino Facility	quadrupole, optics, target, dipole	407
	W. Bartmann, B. Goddard, A. Kosmicki, M. Kowalska, F.M. Velotti CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	A Short Baseline neutrino facility at CERN is presently under study. It is considered to extract a 100 GeV beam from the second long straight section of the SPS into the existing transfer channel TT20, which leads to the North Area experimental zone. A new transfer line would branch off the existing TT20 line around 600 m downstream of the extraction, followed by an S-shaped horizontal bending arc to direct the beam with the correct angle onto the defined target location. This paper describes the optimisation of the line geometry with respect to the switch regions in TT20, the integration into the existing facilities and the potential refurbishment of existing magnets. The optics design is shown, and the requirements for the magnets, power converters and instrumentation hardware are discussed.

MOPFI057	Studies for the LHeC Beam Transfer Systems	linac, kicker, injection, electron	410
	C. Bracco, B. Goddard CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The LHeC would allow for collisions between an electron beam from a new accelerator with the existing LHC hadron beam. Two possible configurations were studied: a separate LINAC (LINAC-ring) or a new electron ring superimposed on the LHC (ring-ring). The racetrack LINAC is now considered as the baseline for the LHeC design, with the ring-ring solution a back up. The studies performed for all the considered options are presented in this paper. For the LINAC-ring option the requirements for the post-collision line and the beam dump design have been evaluated in the cases of a 140 GeV and a 60 GeV electron beam. In the ring-ring option studies have been performed of the optics design of the transfer line from the a 10 GeV injector LINAC into the LHeC ring and of the injection system. The internal 60 GeV electron ring dump design has also been considered.

MOPFI060	Beam Transfer to LHC with the Low Gamma-transition SPS Optics	optics, injection, quadrupole, collimation	419

	A new low gamma-transition optics with a lower integer tune, was introduced in the SPS to improve beam stability at high intensity. For transferring the beam to the LHC, the extraction bumps, extraction kickers and transfer lines needed to be adapted to the new optics. In particular, the transfer lines were re-matched and re-commissioned with the new optics. The first operational results are discussed for the SPS extraction, the transfer lines and the LHC injection. A detailed comparison is presented between the old and the new optics of the trajectories, dispersion, losses and other performance aspects.

	In 2011 the ELENA decelerator was approved as a CERN project. Initially one extraction was foreseen, which should use a kicker and a magnetic septum which can be recuperated from an earlier installation. Since then a second extraction has been approved and a new solution was studied using only electric fields to extract the beam. This will be achieved by fast pulsing a separator, allowing single-bunch but also a full single-turn extraction from ELENA towards the experiments. The extraction and transfer requirements of ELENA are described, followed by the principal differences between the magnetic and electric field concepts. The design of electrostatic focussing and bending devices for the transfer lines will be presented. Finally the field quality which can be achieved with the separator and the concept of its power supply will be discussed.

MOPME006	The New Orbit Correction System at ELSA	polarization, electron, closed-orbit, acceleration	479
	J.-P. Thiry, A. Balling, A. Dieckmann, F. Frommberger, W. Hillert ELSA, Bonn, Germany
	ELSA is a fast ramping stretcher ring currently supplying polarized electrons with energies up to 2.4 GeV. To preserve the degree of polarization, the vertical orbit needs to be continuously corrected during beam acceleration. The acceleration is usually performed within 300 ms, with a maximum ramping speed of 6 GeV/s. We aim to achieve a vertical rms deviation not exceeding 50 μm all along the fast energy ramp. In the near future we plan to accelerate polarized electrons up to 3.2 GeV. Therefore, both the power supplies and the corrector magnets have been currently upgraded: first, new power supplies working with a pulsed transistor H-Bridge were developed and successfully installed. Additionally, the existing vertical corrector magnets will now be replaced by newly developed ones. In our contribution, we will present the new correction hardware supplemented by the beam position monitors and their readout electronics.

	T. Naito, S. Araki, H. Hayano, K. Kubo, S. Kuroda, T. Okugi, N. Terunuma, J. Urakawa KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	In order to observe the motion of bunch-by-bunch beam oscillation of multi-bunch in the storage ring, we developed two measurement tools. One is a signal process electronics circuit using fast analogue switches. The circuit picks up one of the selected bunch signal of the beam position monitor from the multi-bunch. The selected beam position signal can be processed as a single bunch beam. By changing the gate timing, arbitrary bunch signal can be selected. The other is a waveform memory using a high bandwidth oscilloscope. The long waveform memory of the oscilloscope has a capability to acquire the multi-turn waveform of the button electrode signals. The beam test of the circuit has been carried out at KEK-ATF damping ring in the cases of 2.8ns bunch spacing and 5.6ns bunch spacing, respectively. The detail of the hardware and the result of the beam test are reported.

	M. Kinsho, N. Ogiwara, K. Suganuma JAEA/J-PARC, Tokai-mura, Japan
	The J-PARC 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) has been provided proton beam to the Material and Life Science Facility (MLF)as well as to the 50 GeV Main Ring (MR). Proton beam is accelerated from 181 MeV to 3GeV in the RCS and immediately extracted it to the beam transport line to the MLF and the MR. Extraction kicker magnets are used for this fast extraction. To improve reliability of the RCS for user operation, production of a reserve kicker magnet has been performed. The kicker magnet mainly consists of Ni-Zn ferrite cores and Aluminum alloy plates, and these parts are installed in vacuum chamber to prevent discharge because a high voltage is applied to the magnet for a short period. Since it is important to reduce the outgassing of water vapor form these parts to prevent discharge, we has been produced the reserve magnet with low outgassing at high voltage discharge. Since assemble of the kicker magnet already finished and vacuum test has been performed, the result of vacuum test is reported.

	S.W. Jang, E.-S. Kim KNU, Deagu, Republic of Korea Y. Honda, T. Tauchi, N. Terunuma KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	We have developed a high resolution beam position monitors for ATF2 at KEK, which is an accelerator test facility for International Linear Collider(ILC). The main goals of ATF2 are achievement of 37nm beam size and 2nm beam position resolution for beam stabilization. For these goals, low-Q IP-BPM(Interaction Point Beam Position Monitor) with latency of 20 ns are being developed. In this paper, we will describe about design of Low-Q IP-BPM, the basics test results as RF test and BPM sensitivity test. Electronics for Low-Q IP-BPM will be also described.

	S. Nakamura J-PARC, KEK & JAEA, Ibaraki-ken, Japan S. Yamada KEK, Tokai, Ibaraki, Japan
	High precision tracking and small current ripple are necessary for a magnet power supply of a high power accelerator. A prototype power supply of the 100kW class is developed with an aim of small current ripple less than 10ppm, which employs a combination of main and sub-converter with symmetrical structure. The main converter unit supplies pattern current by a voltage feedforward control, while the sub-converters by a current feedback control. The symmetrical structure of the power supply is adopted to decouple normal mode and common mode ripples. Each converter unit is modularized and surrounded by a Faraday cage suppress for suppressing radiation of electrical noise and ease for maintenance. Its performance is studied using a set of 24 units of setupole magnets installed in J-PARC Main Ring.

	A.A. Korepanov, A. Akimov, A.A. Pachkov, A. Panov BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia
	A set of identical ferrite kicker modules is utilized for the injection and extraction of the NSLS-2 booster ring. The pulse power supplies of these modules are based on the PFN-thyratron design. The pulse current amplitude of up to 4 kA at 300 ns flat top duration and PFN charging voltage of up to 23 kV were achieved on the extraction pulsers. The pulse to pulse repeatability of the output current waveform was measured and made up to 0.05% (σ) at nominal current for the extraction pulsers. The injection pulsers have a specification on the reverse current overshoot to be less than 0.5% of the amplitude. To fulfill this requirement a single turn saturated choke in the thyratron circuit was used. The design and the test results of the power supplies on NSLS-2 site are presented in the paper.

	S. Damjanovic, B. Dehning, B. Mikulec, M. Sapinski CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	In view of future upgrade plans, the beam loss monitor (BLM) coverage of the PS Booster (PSB) rings was reviewed. The response of two types of monitors, LHC-IC and LHC-LIC, has been studied with FLUKA at LINAC4 injection and PSB extraction energies. The goal of this study was to find out whether the current beam loss monitor coverage of two monitors at a certain location per PSB section was adapted to potential beam losses associated with a future Linac4 injection. The outcome of this study was a proposal to double the number of beam loss monitors in the PSB section by using a combination of horizontally oriented LHC-IC and LHC-LIC type monitors.

	The maximum driving voltage of TPS booster extraction kicker is close to 30 kV, the HV insulation should be carefully noticed. A DC withstand voltage tester MUSASHI 3802 (Model: IP-701G) is used to test the DC breakdown voltage, which the maximum driving voltage is 37 kV. The 10 mm gap between coil and ferrite is designed in order to increase HV break down voltage. The safety breakdown distance between HV coil and grounding plate was tested in air. Different insulation material with different thickness was tested the breakdown voltage. Thicker than 10 mm ceramic plate could effectively avoid the breakdown occurred with 37 kV DC charging. Thus HV withstand voltage will be higher in vacuum chamber and the insulation with HV will not be the problem.

Due to the new project Taiwan Photon Source proceeded at the same site, some up-to-date device are available now before TPS civil construction complete and temporarily adapted for TLS booster to improve its operations. The major parameters of the TLS booster synchrotron are measured. It also provides a chance to experience for the TPS project booster diagnostic.

MOPWA052	Short Range Wakefield Measurements of High Resolution RF Cavity Beam Position Monitors at ATF2	wakefield, cavity, quadrupole, simulation	792

	Cavity beam position monitors (CBPM) have been used in several accelerator facilities and are planned to be used in future accelerators and light sources. High position resolution up to tens of nanometres has been achieved, but short range wakefields are a concern, especially for small beam emittances. This paper presents the wakefield calculations as well as the first measurements of the CBPM-generated short range wakefields performed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2).

	A low-latency, sub-micron resolution stripline beam position monitoring system has been developed and tested with beam at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility, where it has been used as part of a feedback system for beam stabilisation. The fast analogue front-end signal processor is based on a single-stage down-mixer and is combined with an FPGA-based system for digitisation and feedback control. A resolution as low as 400 nm has been demonstrated for beam intensities of ~1 nC, with single-pass beam. The latest results of recent modifications to balance the input path lengths to the processor will be discussed. These modifications compensate for the inherent phase sensitivity of the processors, and hence improve the intrinsic resolution, without the need for offline correction. Modifications to the FPGA firmware will also be described, to allow for flexible operation with variable system-synchronous data acquisition at up to 400 MHz, with up to nine data channels of 13-bit width, and a nominal record length of 1 KS/channel/pulse (extensible to a total record length of 120 KS per pulse, for example, for use with long bunch trains or wide-band multi-turn measurements in storage rings).

	Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. A critical point for the polarized proton program of the RHIC is the polarization transmission through the AGS acceleration cycle. Recent developments in the Zgoubi model of the AGS allow multi-particle tracking with realistic beam and machine conditions on a large scale computing system. This gives the opportunity to simulate the influence of many beam and machine conditions on the polarization transmission and leads to a better understanding of the depolarization processes, for instance the horizontal intrinsic resonances, that cannot be accurately explored by the conventional simulation approaches or by the experiments with beam. This paper introduces the developments realized on the Zgoubi code to run these simulations and shows some of the latest results.

MOPWA087	Predictive Diagnostics for High-availability Accelerators	diagnostics, monitoring, controls, klystron	873

	In Accelerator Driven Systems, high availability of the accelerator is one of its key requirements. Fortunately, not every beam trip is necessarily a failure. For example, in the proposed MYRRHA transmuter, absence of the beam for less than 3 seconds is still deemed acceptable. Predictive diagnostics strives to predict where a failure is likely to occur, so that a mitigating action can be taken in a more controlled manner, thus preventing failure of other components while exactly pinpointing the component that is about to fail. One approach to predictive diagnostics is to analyze process variables that quantify inputs and outputs of components as archived by the accelerator's distributed control system. By observing trends in their values an impending fault can be predicted. In addition, sensors measuring e.g., vibration, temperature or noise can be attached to critical components. By analyzing the signatures of signals acquired by these sensors, non-nominal behavior can be detected which possibly indicates a looming failure.

MOPWO022	Design and Manufacturing Description of the Prototype Striplines for the Extraction Kicker of the CLIC Damping Rings	impedance, kicker, damping, vacuum	930

	The Pre-Damping Rings (PDRs) and Damping Rings (DRs) of CLIC are needed to reduce the beam emittances to the small values required for the main linacs. The injection and extraction, from the PDRs and DRs, are carried out by kicker systems. In order to achieve both low beam coupling impedance and reasonable broadband impedance matching to the electrical circuit, striplines have been chosen for the kicker elements. The design of the stripline kicker was previously carried out by modelling the striplines with simulation codes such as HFSS, Quickfield and CST Particle Studio. In order to have a complete analysis of the striplines, the effect of electrodes supports and coaxial feedthroughs have been studied in detail. In this paper, electromagnetic analyses of the complete striplines, including fabrication tolerances, are reported. Furthermore, a new idea for impedance matching is presented.

MOPWO023	Upgrade and Systematic Measurement Campaign of the ATF2 Multi-OTR System	target, emittance, coupling, wakefield	933

	A multi-Optical Transition Radiation (mOTR) system made of four stations is being used routinely since September 2011 for transverse beam size measurement and emittance reconstruction in the extraction line of ATF2, providing diagnostic support during the ATF2 tuning operation. Furthermore it is also an excellent tool for fast transverse coupling correction. Due to the compactness of the current design the system has an influence in the increase of the transverse emittance due to wakefield effects when a simultaneous measurement is made. To avoid this effect a new target holder and a new optics has been designed and implemented. In this paper we describe the present status of the ATF2 mOTR system, showing recent performance results, and hardware design improvements.

	The optics design of the injection and extraction regions for the CLIC damping rings is presented. The design defines the parameters for the kicker magnets and septa in these regions and has been optimised to minimise the length of the insertions within the parameter space of the system. Failure modes of the injection and extraction elements are identified and their severity assessed. Protection elements for the injection and extraction regions are optimised based on the conclusions of the failure mode analysis.

	Irregular hits of high-intensity LHC beams on collimators can lead to severe damage of the collimator jaws. The identification of damaged collimator jaws by observation of beam measurements is challenging: online loss measurements at the moment of the impacts can be tricky and degradation of the overall performance from single collimator damage can be difficult to measure. Visual inspections are excluded because collimator jaws are enclosed in vacuum tanks without windows. However, the sound generated during the beam impact can be used to give an estimate of the damage level. In 2012, high-intensity beam comparable to a full nominal LHC bunch at 7 TeV was shot on a tertiary type LHC collimator at the HiRadMat test facility at CERN. The paper presents results from sound recordings of this experiment.

	The LHC is filled from the SPS via two 3km long transfer lines. In the first years of LHC operation large trajectory variations were discovered. The sources of bunch-by-bunch and shot-by-shot trajectory variations had been identified and improved by the 2012 LHC run. The origins of the longer term drifts were however still unclear and significant time was spent correcting the trajectories. In the last part of the 2012 run the optics in the SPS was changed to lower transition energy. Trajectory stability and correction frequency will be compared between before and after the optics change in the SPS. The sources of the variations have now been identified and will be discussed in this paper. Remedies for operation after the long shutdown will be proposed.

	Funding: Supported by the US Dept. of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics, and by the US Dept. of Defense, Office of Naval Research and the Joint Technology Office. The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is a low-energy scaled facility for the study of intense beam dynamics, relevant to higher energy, high intensity accelerators. Many parameters crucial to understanding space charge dominated beam evolution, such as transverse emittance and longitudinal temperature, require the use of turn-by-turn interceptive diagnostics. To meet this need, we plan to implement an extraction section with a fast-pulsed electric-field kicker. This paper presents a suite of simulations used to guide the design process and predict extraction performance, using the WARP Particle-in-cell (PIC) code. Simulations in a transverse slice geometry predict beam trajectory and monitor beam evolution through extraction. After isolating a design based on centroid tracking, extraction acceptance is probed and an analysis proposed to estimate the error tolerances of the new ring elements.

	A design study has been initiated at CERN for the conception and construction of a short base line neutrino facility, using a proton beam from the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) that will be transferred to a new secondary beam production facility, which will provide a neutrino beam for experiments and detector R&D. This paper resumes the general layout of the facility together with the main primary and secondary beam parameters and the choices favoured for the neutrino beam production.

	The CERN LHC is equipped with two Synchrotron Radiation Monitor systems used to characterise transverse and longitudinal beam distributions. Since the end of the 2011 LHC run the light extraction system, based on a retractable mirror, has suffered deformation and mechanical failure that is correlated to the increase in beam intensity. Temperature probes have associated these observations to a strong heating of the mirror support with a dependence on the longitudinal bunch length and shape, indicating the origin as electromagnetic coupling between the beam and the structure. This paper combines all this information with the aim of characterising and improving the system in view of its upgrade during the current LHC shutdown. Beam-based observations are presented along with electromagnetic and thermomechanical simulations and complemented by laboratory measurements, including the study of the RF properties of different mirror bulk and coating materials.

TUPWA004	Advanced Considerations for Designing Very High-intensity Linacs through Novel Methods of Beam Analysis, Optimization, Measurement & Characterisation	emittance, linac, space-charge, rfq	1727
	P.A.P. Nghiem, N. Chauvin, D. Uriot CEA/DSM/IRFU, France W. Simeoni CEA/IRFU, Gif-sur-Yvette, France
	Research in fundamental physics, nuclear physics or advanced materials, requires linear accelerators as irradiation sources with higher and higher beam intensity. In such machines, not only high beam power but also high space charge are the major challenges. This double concern often induces conflicting issues, which should be overcome from the accelerator design stage. It progressively appears that the usual methods are no more sufficient. Even new concepts are to be invented. With mega-watt beams, losses and also micro-losses must be minimised while with very strong space charge, few room can be reserved for beam diagnostics. New strategies for design and tuning are to be carried out. The beam itself can no more be described only by its classical values like emittance and Twiss parameters. Core and halo parts should be instead precisely defined and kept under surveillance. The beam phase space distribution itself becomes determinant, which is very far from waterbag or gaussian distributions. This paper aims at proposing new considerations for very high-intensity linacs while recalling the usual ones, from designing and tuning methods to beam definitions and characterisations.

TUPWA011	Investigation of Emittance Growth in a Small PET Cyclotron CYCIAE-14	resonance, cyclotron, emittance, simulation	1745

	In order to satisfy the rapidly increased domestic needs for PET in China, a small medical cyclotron named CYCIAE-14 is designed and constructed in CIAE ( China Institute of Atomic Energy ) . As the beam intensity in CYCIAE-14 is high, the beam emittance should be controlled strictly in order to reduce the beam loss in the cyclotron. Precessional mixing and resonance crossing are the two main factors leading to emittance growth in the cyclotron with stripping extraction. In this paper, the physical mechanism of precessional mixing in a stripping extraction cyclotron is investigated. After that, the maximum allowable field errors in CYCIAE-14 are derived using the Hamiltonian formalism and numerical simulation, which provides a reference for the cyclotron design and field shimming.

	Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a high intensity proton accelerator, with average beam power of 100kW. In order to high intensity beam operation, the beam coupling impedance of the extracted kickers must be controlled. Longitudinal and transverse impedance of extracted kicker prototype with power supply had been roughly measured by coaxial-wire and dual-wire methods respectively. At the same time, impedance of window has been analyzed theoretically and simulated based on CST PARTICLE STUDIO.

	R.L. Lillestøl, S. Döbert, M. Olvegård CERN, Geneva, Switzerland E. Adli University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
	In the CLIC two-beam scheme, the main beam is accelerated by rf power provided by energy extraction from a secondary drive beam. This energy is extracted in decelerators, and the first prototype decelerator is the Test Beam Line in the CLIC Test Facility 3. The line is currently equipped with 12 Power Extraction and Transfer Structures (PETS), which allows for extracting up to 40% of the beam energy. We correlate the measured deceleration with predictions from the beam current and the rf power produced in the PETS. We also discuss recent bunch length measurements and how it influences the deceleration. Finally we look at the evolution of the transverse emittance.

	Funding: Work supported by DFG (CRC 443/1044) and the German federal state of Rheinland-Pfalz New experiments could benefit from energies of ~100 MeV, significantly lower than 180 MeV which is the lowest energy routinely available with the microtron cascade of MAMI-B. This article describes the difficulties which arise due to the drastically reduced injection energy of the first microtron (RTM-1) and presents the results of the beam tests which have been performed. We suggest a new beam extraction system from RTM-2 which will avoid these problems.

TUPWO023	Parasitic Slow Exraction of Extremely Weak Beam From a High-intensity Proton Rapid Cycling Synchroton	scattering, proton, synchrotron, simulation	1931
	Y. Zou, H.T. Jing, C. Meng, J.Y. Tang, Z. Yang IHEP, Beijing, People's Republic of China
	This paper proposes a new method to extract extremely weak beam from a high-intensity proton rapid cycling synchrotron in the parasitic mode, while maintaining the normal fast extraction. The usual slow extraction from a synchrotron by third-order resonance method cannot be applied in a RCS due to very short flat-top at the extraction energy. This is even more difficult when it is high-intensity synchrotron due to the strict control on beam loss. The parasitic slow extraction method to extract extremely weak beam from the RCS of CSNS has been studied in details. By moving only beam halo to a scatting foil in the arc region by a local orbit bump in about 2 ms before the fast extraction, one can extract a very small part of the scattered particles with very limited beam loss in the process. At 1.6 GeV and 62.5 A in beam power, halo particles of about 10^-4 total particles are involved in the parasitic slow extraction can result in a beam intensity of 2105 protons per cycle or lower. Detailed studies including scattering effect in the foil, orbit bumps by bump magnets and energy displacement by adjusting RF, and multi-particle simulations by ORBIT and TURTLE codes are presented.

TUPWO024	The Study of a Calculation Method for Measurement of Diagnostic Neutral Beam Property	plasma, neutral-beams, ion, target	1934
	L.Z. Liang, C.D. Hu, J.L. Wei ASIPP, Hefei, People's Republic of China
	Funding: Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant No. 11075183. Considering the beam divergence and the convergence of the spherical electrode, the beam transmission model is presented, and the variation of beam edge is described by a formula, which is used to calculate the beam divergence half-angle with the experimental data obtained by the thermocouples. Assuming the beam divergence half-angle is constant in space and time, the beam profile distribution formula and variation of beam axial intensity are introduced. Taking the HT-7 Diagnostic Neutral Beam (DNB) as a reference, the divergence half-angle is calculated for the neutral beam shot 60901. The 1/e half-width of beam at collimation target calculated by formula is in agreement with that of experimental data. Variation of beam edge and axial intensity with downstream distance is estimated for HT-7 diagnostic neutral beam.

	The future ELENA ring at CERN will decelerate the AD antiproton beam further from 5.3 MeV to 100 keV kinetic energy, to increase the efficiency of antiproton trapping. At present there are four experimental areas in the AD hall which will be complemented with the installation of ELENA by additional three experiments and an additional source for commissioning. This paper describes the optimisation of the transfer line geometry, ring rotation and source position. The optics of the transfer lines and error studies to define field and alignment tolerances are shown, and the optics particularities of electrostatic elements and their optimisation highlighted.

	EMMA is the world’s first non-scaling FFAG, based at Daresbury Laboratory. EMMA has a very large acceptance and has demonstrated acceleration in the serpentine channel. PRISM (Phase Rotated Intense Slow Muon source) is a next generation muon to electron conversion experiment aiming to obtain intense quasi-monochromatic low energy muon beams by performing RF phase rotation in an FFAG ring. Current baseline design for PRISM applies the scaling FFAG ring, but an alternative machine could be based on a ns-FFAG principle. As the transverse-longitudinal coupling is present in ns-FFAGs due to a natural chromaticity, its effect on the final energy spread and beam quality needs to be tested. In order to gauge the expected results, an experiment was designed to be performed on EMMA. We report here the details of this experiment and the results gathered from EMMA operation.

WEPWA051	Extraction Beam Line for Light Sources	emittance, injection, kicker, optics	2232
	M. Aiba, M. Böge, T. Garvey, N. Milas, A. Saá Hernández, A. Streun PSI, Villigen PSI, Switzerland
	Most of measurements, with circulating beam in a ring, to determine transverse and longitudinal phase space volume are rather indirect although it is of importance to characterize these beam parameters for better understanding the machine. Direct measurements may be performed when the beam is extracted to a beam line, where destructive methods are available. However, light sources can tolerate internal beam dumping and thus do not have an extraction line in general. We, therefore, propose a diagnostic dedicated extraction line, motivated by precise determination of the geometrical vertical emittance, which can be a few pm or even less and general comparisons of direct and indirect measurements. Such an extraction beam line has been realized in several accelerator facilities, e.g. KEK-ATF. The idea is, however, to equip a compact beam line, which fits into the existing tunnel and allows us to measure transverse and longitudinal emittances. We present possible design of an extraction beam line assuming typical light source parameters.

	Funding: The HiLumi LHC Design Study (a sub-system of HL-LHC) is cofunded by the European Commission within the Framework Programme 7 Capacities Specific Programme, Grant Agreement 284404. Deflecting cavity geometries considered for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)crab scheme lack axial symmetry resulting in non-zero higher-order components of the deflecting field. A formalism to express the higher-order multipoles was developed and applied on previous cavity designs to characterize their influence on the beam stability. In this paper, the radio frequency (RF) multipoles are numerically estimated for the latest cavity geometries and compared to the older versions. A sensitivity study is carried to understand the numerical error levels and define mechanical tolerances.

	MedAustron is a synchrotron based hadron therapy and research facility located in Austria currently entering the installation stage. It is an implementation of the CERN-PIMMS design which proposed induction acceleration by a betatron core as the driving mechanism for the third-order slow resonant extraction. Primarily in order to increase the accelerators flexibility towards future irradiation schemes but also as back-up options, two alternative extraction driving mechanism have been studied: Longitudinal RF-noise and phase displacement acceleration. The advantages as well as the corresponding limitations are explained, analytical estimates and particle tracking results performed with the 2D tracking codes LONG1D and a specifically developed Python based simulation code are presented.

	The observation of a significant dynamic pressure rise as well as measurements with dedicated detectors indicate that an electron cloud develops in the CERN PS during the last stages of the RF manipulations for the production of LHC type beams, especially with 25ns bunch spacing. Although presently these beams are not degraded by the interaction with the electron cloud, which develops only during few milliseconds before extraction, the question if this effect could degrade the future high intensity and high brightness beams foreseen by the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project is still open. Therefore several studies are being carried out employing both simulations and measurements with the electron cloud detectors in the machine. The aim is to develop a reliable electron cloud model of the PS vacuum chambers in order to identify possible future limitations and find suitable countermeasures.

	The JPARC main ring fast extraction (FX) system has two functions, deliver high power beam to the neutrino experimental facility and dump the beam at any time in case of hardware failures. The present FX system consists of five pair of bipolar kickers and eight pair of bipolar septa. In order to raise the beam power to the design limit, both the beam intensity and the repetition rate will increase gradually. The FX system needs to be upgraded to satisfy the new requirements. The upgrade includes FX orbit optimization and new design of devices. Firstly, the conventional multi-turn low-field septa will be replaced by eddy current type septa. Several configurations of the new design has been studied to realize the requirements of thinner septum, higher field quality, lower leakage and higher mechanical stability. To provide sufficient flat top field for the FX beam, superposition of 3rd harmonic pulse has been employed.

WEPEA018	Further Improvement of the PTC-ORBIT Code to Model Realistic Operation of High-beam Power Synchrotrons	injection, synchrotron, resonance, quadrupole	2534
	A.Y. Molodozhentsev, E. Forest KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	The combined PTC-ORBIT code has been developed a few years ago to study the dynamics of the high intensity proton beams in synchrotrons, including the nonlinear machine resonances and the space charge effects in the self-consistent manner. In order to extend the code abilities the time variation of the main elements of the synchrotron has been introduced into the PTC module of the code. This feature opens the direct way to model the multi-turn injection process and the slow extraction process by using realistic machine description, in particular the dynamic variation of the betatron tunes, strength of the bump magnets, dynamic resonance correction or resonance excitation. To demonstrate the code abilities the corresponding simulations for CERN PS Booster and for J-PARC Main Ring are discussed.

	Beam loading compensation is indispensable to accelerate high intensity proton beams in the J-PARC MR. The MA-loaded rf cavities in the MR are driven by the single harmonic (h=9) rf signals, while the cavity frequency response covers also the neighbor harmonics (h=8, 10). The wake voltage induced by the beam consists of the three harmonics (h=8, 9, 10). We employ the rf feedforward method to compensate the beam loading of these harmonics. The full-digital feedforward system was developed for the MR. We have successfully commissioned the feedforward patterns for all of eight cavities by using high intensity beams with 1.0·10¹⁴ ppp. We present the commissioning results. The impedance seen by the beam is reduced and the longitudinal oscillations due to the beam loading are reduced. By the beam loading compensation, high power beam operation at the beam power of 200 kW has been achieved.

	In this paper, the beam capture processes are simulated in CSRm with the real RF cavity curves. By now, CSRm can accelerate all ions from protons up to the heaviest element, uranium, with variable energies and different efficiency. During the beam capture processes, the capture voltage and capture time must be cheese properly to avoid the beam loss. Moreover, the mismatch between the actual and the setting beam energy and space charge effect are investigated for high beam capture efficiency. The evolution of longitudinal phase space during the capture processes is presented in this simulation too.

	A heavy ion medical machine(HIMM) is proposed for cancer therapy in Lanzhou, China. The slow extraction design of the synchrotron is introduced in this paper. Eight sextupoles are used, four of them are for correcting the chromaticity and the rest for driving the 3rd-order resonance. In order to save the aperture of vacuum chamber, a 3-magnet bump is adopted during the extraction process.

	The LHC Injectors Upgrade project (LIU) has been initiated to improve the performances of the existing injector complex at CERN to match the future requirements of the HL-LHC. In this framework, the Proton Synchrotron (PS) will undergo fundamental changes for many of its main systems: the injection energy will be increased to reduce space-charge effects, the transverse damper will be improved to cope with transverse instabilities the RF systems will be upgraded to accelerate higher beam intensity and brightness. These hardware improvements are triggered by a series of studies meant to identify the most critical performance bottlenecks, like space charge, impedances, longitudinal and transverse instabilities, as well as electron-cloud. Additionally, alternative production schemes for the LHC-type beams have been proposed and implemented to circumvent some of the present limitations. A summary of the most recent advances of the studies, as well as the proposed hardware improvements is given.

WEPEA044	RF Manipulations for Higher Brightness LHC-type Beams	injection, brightness, controls, emittance	2600
	H. Damerau, A. Findlay, S.S. Gilardoni, S. Hancock CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	In order to increase the transverse brightness of beams for the LHC, ever more complicated RF manipulations have been proposed in the PS machine in order to reduce the intensity demands per PS batch on the upstream PS Booster. Several schemes based on cascades of batch compression, bunch merging, as well as the more routine bunch splitting have been successfully commissioned and higher brightness beams have been delivered to the downstream accelerators for measurement. Despite all this complexity, longitudinal and transverse beam quality are well preserved. In addition, to fully profit from the brightness of all four PS Booster rings, the injection of twice 4 bunches into harmonic 9 buckets in the PS has been made operational as an alternative to the usual double-batch transfer of 4+2 bunches into harmonic 7. This paper summarizes the new beam production schemes, their implementation in the PS low-level RF system and the experimental results.

	The demanding beam performance requirements of the HL-LHC project translate into a set of requirements and upgrade paths for the LHC injector complex. In this paper the performance requirements for the SPS and the known limitations are reviewed in the light of the 2012 operational experience. The various SPS upgrades in progress and still under consideration are described, in addition to the machine studies and simulations performed in 2012. The expected machine performance reach is estimated on the basis of the present knowledge, and the remaining decisions that still need to be made concerning upgrade options are detailed.

WEPEA054	CERN PS Optical Properties Measured with Turn-by-turn Orbit Data	resonance, simulation, optics, kicker	2627
	C. Hernalsteens, T. Bach, S.S. Gilardoni, M. Giovannozzi, A. Lachaize, G. Sterbini, R. Tomás, R. Wasef CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The performance of the PS has been constantly increasing over the years both in terms of beam parameters (intensity and brightness) and beam manipulations (transverse and longitudinal splitting). This implies a very good knowledge of the linear and non-linear model of the ring. In this paper we report on a detailed campaign of beam measurements based on turn-by-turn orbit data aimed at measuring the optics in several conditions as well as the resonance driving terms. The goal of this study is to assess whether any specific correction system should be envisaged to achieve the required future performance.

WEPEA055	Quantitative Evaluation of Trapping and Overall Efficiency for Simple Models in One-degree of Freedom	resonance, simulation, controls, synchrotron	2630
	C. Hernalsteens, C. Frye, M. Giovannozzi CERN, Geneva, Switzerland A. Bazzani Bologna University, Bologna, Italy
	A key ingredient for the Multi-Turn Extraction at the CERN Proton Synchrotron is the beam trapping in stable islands of transverse phase space. The control of the trapping process is essential for the quality of the final beam in terms of intensity sharing and emittance. In this paper, a method allowing an analytical estimation of the fraction of beam trapped into stable islands as a function of the Hamiltonian parameters is presented for a very simple model of the dynamics (pendulum) and is extended to the case of the interpolating Hamiltonian of the Hénon model, the latter being a good 2D model of the MTE dynamics. The analytical results are compared with numerical simulations. Additional numerical simulations are presented for the minimum trapping amplitude and a fitted model is proposed. Results are discussed in detail.

WEPEA056	Design and Beam Measurements of Modified Fast Extraction Schemes in the CERN PS for Installing a Dummy Septum to Mitigate Ring Irradiation	septum, kicker, closed-orbit, emittance	2633
	C. Hernalsteens, H. Bartosik, L.N. Drøsdal, S.S. Gilardoni, M. Giovannozzi, A. Lachaize, Y. Papaphilippou, A. Ulsroed CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The proposed Multi-Turn Extraction (MTE) for the CERN PS allows to reduce the overall extraction losses for high intensity beams. The required longitudinal structure of the proton beam induces unavoidable beam losses at the magnetic extraction septum. The installation of a dummy septum with an appropriate shielding has been proposed to localise losses and to shadow the magnetic septum. Such a device, located in the extraction region, imposes tight constraints on the available beam aperture. Modified extraction schemes have been proposed and in this paper they will be presented and discussed in detail together with the measured performance.

WEPEA057	Numerical Simulations to Evaluate the Performance of CERN PS Dummy Septum to Reduce Irradiation for the Multi-Turn Extraction	septum, shielding, kicker, beam-losses	2636
	C. Hernalsteens, S. Damjanovic, S.S. Gilardoni, M. Giovannozzi CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	The losses created by the proposed Multi-Turn Extraction (MTE) at the CERN PS induces high activation of the magnetic extraction septum due to the de-bunched longitudinal beam structure requested to transfer the beam to the SPS. A mitigation measure is under study aiming at localizing losses in a well-shielded area by shadowing the magnetic extraction septum thanks to septum-like passive device. Such a solution is based on a so-called dummy septum, a blade which absorbs particles during the rise time of the extraction kickers for MTE beams. The efficiency of the scheme is presented in this paper. The quantitative estimate is based on detailed simulations that analyse the beam-matter interaction and provide a determination of the shadowing effect of the dummy septum.

	The Extra Low Energy Antiproton ring (ELENA) is a small ring at CERN which will be built to increase substantially the number of usable (or trappable) antiprotons delivered to experiments for studies with antihydrogen. The report shows the progress in the ELENA design. The choice of optics and ring layout inside of AD hall is given. The main limitations for beam parameters at extraction like intra beam scattering and tune shift due to space charge are discussed. The electron cooler plays key role in ELENA both for efficient deceleration as well as for preparing extracted beam with parameters defined by experiments. The other important systems like beam vacuum, beam instrumentations and others are reviewed as well.

WEPFI085	Source and Extraction for Simultaneous Four-hall Beam Delivery System at CEBAF	laser, cavity, cathode, electron	2896
	R. Kazimi, J. Hansknecht, M. Spata, H. Wang JLAB, Newport News, Virginia, USA
	Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. A new design for simultaneous delivery of the electron beam to all four 12 GeV CEBAF experimental halls* requires a new 750 MHz RF separator system in the 5th pass extraction region, a 250 MHz repetition rate for its beams, and addition of a fourth laser at the photo-cathode gun. The proposed system works in tandem with the existing 500 MHz RF separators and beam repetition rate on the lower passes. The new 5th pass RF separators will have the same basic design but modified to run at 750 MHz. The change to the beam repetition rate will be at the photo-cathode gun through an innovative upgrade of the seed laser driver system using electro-optic modulators. The new laser system also allows addition of the fourth laser. The new RF separators, the new laser system and other hardware changes required to implement the Four-Hall operation delivery system will be discussed in this paper. * Simultaneous Four-Hall Operation for 12 GeV CEBAF, Proceedings of this conference.

We will show the design of a 325 MHz and 163 MHz cavity based on this structure and compare their performances with their superconducting counterparts.

WEPME010	Patient-specific Intensity-modulation of a Slowly Extracted Beam at the HIT Synchrotron	feedback, ion, controls, synchrotron	2944
	C. Schömers, E. Feldmeier, Th. Haberer, J. Naumann, R.E. Panse, A. Peters HIT, Heidelberg, Germany
	Since 2009 more than 1100 tumour patients have been treated at the Heidelberg Ion Therapy-Centre (HIT). The HIT synchrotron produces a library of energy, focus and intensity-variable pencil beams used to deliver dose distributions of utmost conformity to irregularly shaped target volumes. The required number of particles for each volume element of the tumour, which can vary by more than two magnitudes, is applied using the rasterscan technology. The irradiation-time and thus the patient throughput are highly sensitive to the achieved spill-structure driven by RF-Knockout extraction. Presently unfavourable fluctuations of the extracted intensity due to inhomogeneous phase space distribution of the beam are present. Recently a feedback-loop coupling the dose-defining ionisation chamber in front of the patient with the RF-Exciter was implemented allowing for the adaptation of the extracted intensity to the patient-specific treatment plan in real-time. The technical implementation and the impact on the clinical operation will be discussed.

WEPME018	Ytterbium Laser Development of DAW RF Gun for SuperKEKB	laser, gun, linac, emittance	2965
	X. Zhou, T. Natsui, Y. Ogawa, M. Yoshida KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	For obtaining higher luminosity in the SuperKEKB, the photocathode RF electron gun with strong electric focusing field for high-current, low-emittance beams will be employed in the injector linac. The electron beams with a charge of 5 nC and a normalized emittance of 10 μm are expected to be generated in the photocathode RF gun by using the laser source with a center wavelength of 260 nm and a pulse width of 30 ps. Furthermore, for reducing the emittance, the laser pulse width should be reshaped from Gaussian to rectangle structure. Therefore, Ytterbium (Yb)-doped laser system that provides broader bandwidth, higher amplify efficiency and higher output power is employed. The laser system starts with a large mode-area Yb-doped fiber-based amplifier system, which consists of a passively mode-locked femtosecond Yb-fiber oscillator and two steps Yb-fiber amplifier. To obtain the several 10mJ-class pulse energy, a Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative solid-state amplifier is employed. Deep UV pulses for the photocathode are generated by using two frequency-doubling stages. High pulse energy and good stability would be expected.

	Injection and extraction systems of modern accelerator complexes have high requirements for measurements accuracy of pulsed magnets field parameters. To satisfy these demands the fast and precision digital integrators were elaborated in BINP, Russia. These devices are intended for measurements in pulsed magnets (septum magnets, bumps, etc.) with the field duration, ranging from 5 μs, providing a relative accuracy better than 5•10^-5. The set of these devices are the main measuring electronics in injection and extraction section of 3 GeV Booster Ring at NSLS-II facility, which is under construction now in BNL (USA).

	The LHC injectors are being upgraded to meet the demanding beam specification required for High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) operation. In order to reduce the beam losses which can trigger the sensitive LHC beam loss interlocks during the SPS-to-LHC beam injection process, it is important that the beam tails are properly scraped away in the SPS. The current SPS tail cleaning system relies on a moveable scraper blade, with the positioning of the scraper adjusted over time according to the orbit variations of the SPS. A new robust beam tail cleaning system has been designed which will use a fixed scraper block towards which the beam will be moved by a local magnetic orbit bump. The design proposal is presented, together with the related beam dynamics studies and results from machine studies with beam.

THPEA046	Machine Protection at the LHC - Experience of Three Years Running and Outlook for Operation at Nominal Energy	injection, feedback, synchrotron, optics	3246
	D. Wollmann, R. Schmidt, J. Wenninger, M. Zerlauth CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	With above 22fb-1 integrated luminosity delivered to the experiments ATLAS and CMS the LHC surpassed the results of 2011 by more than a factor 5. This was achieved at 4TeV, with intensities of ~2e14p per beam. The uncontrolled loss of only a small fraction of the stored beam is sufficient to damage parts of the sc. magnet system, accelerator equipment or the particle physics experiments. To protect against this a correct functioning of the complex LHC machine protection (MP) systems through the operational cycle is essential. Operating with up to 140MJ stored beam energy was only possible due to the experience and confidence gained in the two previous running periods, where the intensity was slowly increased. In this paper the 2012 performance of the MP systems is discussed. The strategy applied for a fast, but safe, intensity ramp up and the monitoring of the MP systems during stable running periods are presented. Weaknesses in the reliability of the MP systems, set-up procedures and setting adjustments for machine development periods, discovered in 2012, are critically reviewed and improvements for the LHC operation after the up-coming long shut-down of the LHC are proposed.

	For the MedAustron facility under construction in Wiener Neustadt/Austria, two electrostatic septa are built in collaboration with CERN. These septa will be used for the multi-turn injection of protons and ions, as well as for the slow extraction from the synchrotron. The power supplies are designed to combine the required precision with the capability to cycle sufficiently fast to keep up with the machine cycle. The septa are being assembled at CERN. Initial tests have been done on the remote displacement system to validate its precision and communication protocol with the MedAustron control system. Subsequently the septa are tested for vacuum performance and then HV conditioned. The construction of the septa, the requirements of the power supplies and the high voltage circuit will be described.

	The hydrogen (H2 and D2) target is the determining element of unstable nucleus spectroscopy. This target is proposed for heavy ions beam of several MeV/nucleon in SPIRAL and SPIRAL 2 projects. Without window, the carbone contamination of the hydrogen target could be avoided. Within the project of CHyMENE (Cible d’Hydrogène Mince pour l’Etude des Noyaux Exotiques), the development of hydrogen target is supported by ANR (Agence National de la Recherche) which federates differents French research institutes such as CNRS and CEA. The IPN Orsay is involved on the conception and simulations of a nozzle which can deliver a solid ribbon of 50 micron thickness; it is a very challenging program since the knowledge about hydrogen solid at 12 K is rare, especially in terms of experimental characterizations. The important work consists at first to propose models of simulations in order to study mechanical behaviours of solid hydrogen at cryogenic temperature under pressure and optimize the geometry parameters as well as rheology properties of nozzle. The mechanical non linear modelling including contact behaviours are presented. The first simulations results are summarized.

	At the electron accelerator ELSA, a new external beamline is under construction, whose task is to provide a primary electron beam for detector tests. In the future, the accelerator facility will not only be offering an electron beam to the currently installed double polarization experiments for baryon spectroscopy, but to the new "Research and Technology Center Detector Physics" as well. This institution will be established near the accelerator in Bonn and is charged with the development of detectors for particle and astroparticle physics. The requirement for the new beamline is to be able to vary the beam parameters such as beam current and width over a wide range. With the resonance extraction method, it is possible to extract electrons with a maximum energy of 3.2 GeV slowly to the test area. A quasi-continuous external beam current of 1 fA to 100 pA can be offered. A further reduction of the beam current can be realized by utilizing the single-pulse operation mode at ELSA. The beam width can be changed in both transverse directions from 1 mm to 8 mm.

	A 100 MeV H⁻ compact cyclotron is being constructed in China Institute of Atomic Energy (CYCIAE-100). 75 MeV - 100 MeV proton beams with 200 μA beam intensity will be extracted in dual opposite directions by charge exchange stripping devices. Two stripping probes with carbon foils are inserted radially in the opposite direction from the main magnet pole and the obtained two proton beams after stripping foil are transported into the crossing point in a combination magnet center separately under the fixed main magnetic field. Because of the large energy range of the extracted beam, the stripping probe system is the most critical and complicated device in the dual extraction. In order to save the foil changing time, the structure of the foil changing system in the vacuum is adopted. The foil automatic changing machine is outside the magnetism yoke and 12 pieces foil can be changed in one time. The design and fabrication of the probe system has been finished and it is going to the progress of installation and adjusting. The experimental verification on probe rod driving and foil changing system has been finished in 2010. The whole stripping extraction system will be installed in 2013.

THPFI026	DESIGN OF CSNS R DUMP WINDOW	vacuum, neutron, target, proton	3354

	The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) accelerator systems will provide a 1.6 Gev proton beam to a target for neutron production. The extraction dump is used to incept the waste beam in the Ring-Target transport line. At the end of the beam pipe, we adopt a thin window to ensure the accelerator vacuum. When beam gets across the window, temperature of the window will be elevator because of the energy deposit. So, the study on structure and thermal stress analysis is necessary. This article expatiates the way on calculating the energy deposit and thermal stress analyses.

	Over the past years, the UA9 experiment has successfully demonstrated the viability of enhancing the collimation efficiency of proton and ion beams in the SPS by means of bent crystals. An extension of UA9 to the LHC has been recently approved. The conditions imposed by the LHC operational environment, in particular the tremendous energy density of the beam, require a reliable understanding of the crystal integrity in view of potential accident scenarios such as an asynchronous beam dump. For this purpose, irradiation tests have been performed at the CERN-HiRadMat facility to examine the mechanical strength of a silicon strip crystal in case of direct beam impact. The tests were carried out using a 440 GeV proton beam of 0.5 mm transverse size. The crystal, 3 mm long in beam direction, was exposed to a total of 210¹⁴ protons, with individual pulse intensities reaching up to 310¹³. First visual inspections reveal no macroscopic damage to the crystal. Complementary post-irradiation tests are foreseen to assess microscopic lattice damage as well as the degradation of the channelling efficiency. On behalf of the UA9 Collaboration.

THPFI064	Crystal-assisted Collimation Experiment from the SPS to the LHC	collimation, simulation, background, alignment	3442
	W. Scandale, D. Mirarchi, S. Redaelli CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	UA9 was operated in the CERN-SPS for more than six years in view of investigating the feasibility of the halo collimation assisted by bent crystals. Two-millimeter-long silicon crystals, with bending angles of about 150 μrad, are used as primary collimators. The crystal collimation process is obtained consistently through channeling with high efficiency, showing a steady reduction of almost one order of magnitude of the loss rate at the onset of the channeling process. This result holds both for protons and for lead-ions. The corresponding loss map in the accelerator ring is accordingly reduced. These observations strongly support our expectation that the coherent deflection of the beam halo by a bent crystal should enhance the collimation efficiency also in LHC. After a concise description of the results collected in the SPS we propose a scenario to integrate bent crystals in the LHC collimation system for machine experiment.

THPFI091	Simultaneous Four-hall Operation for 12 GeV CEBAF	linac, recirculation, laser, electron	3502
	R. Kazimi JLAB, Newport News, Virginia, USA
	Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. The CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson lab will have a new experimental hall, Hall D, added to its existing three halls as a part of the ongoing 12 GeV upgrade. Under the present CEBAF design, there is no option for sending beam to all four halls simultaneously. At least one hall has to stay down during the machine operation. A new pattern for interleaving the beam bunches is introduced that allows simultaneous operation of all four halls and provide opportunity for additional future experimental beams. The new configuration presents only a minimal change to the existing CEBAF extraction system. In fact all the lower pass extractions will stay as they are and only the frequency of 5th-pass horizontal RF separator will change. In order to make room for the new Hall D beam among the existing three beams, the beam repetition rate is reduced only for the halls taking beam at the highest pass. This and other details of the new configuration and beam pattern will be presented and discussed.

	Focusing and defocusing dipoles magnets of NSLS-II 3 GeV booster are designed, manufactured and measured in BINP, Russia. The magnets should provide the booster operation at energy from 170 MeV to 3.15 GeV with a 2 Hz frequency. Because of booster compactness the dipoles have quadrupole and sextupole components and should create high quality of field of ± 2·10^-4 in region of ± 2 cm. In this paper the design and results of 2D and 3D simulation are presented.

	Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE under contract No DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. By implanting positive muons in a substance (either gas, liquid or solid), their magnetic moments can be used to sample the magnetic properties of the material. The precession rate can give the magnetic field strength, and the field direction is given away after the muons decay into positrons that are detected. The information obtained from muSR can be complementary to that from other methods such as NMR, ESR, and neutron scattering. A low energy muon surface source is particularly interesting for studying thin films. To date, only four user facilities exist in the world but none in the US. We explore the possibility of using the AGS complex at BNL for a muSR facility for the production of positive surface muons.

	The IFMIF accelerator dedicated to high neutron flux production for material studies is now entering in a new phase. For this irradiation tool, IRFU institute from CEA/Saclay is in charge of the design, construction and characterization of the Injector. The high intensity deuteron beam is produced by an ECR source located on a 100 kV platform. The 2 m long LEBT, based on 2 solenoids, is ended by a cone installed at the entrance of the RFQ. Specific diagnostics (cameras, Allison type emittance scanner, fiberscope) have been installed for the beam characterization. During the last weeks, after Injector conditioning, more than 100 mA of deuteron beams have been characterized after the RFQ entrance cone in pulsed and continuous mode. The shipment of the Injector towards the Rokkasho site in Japan (where it will be reinstalled) is foreseen at the beginning of 2013. This paper will focus on the final design used during the beam characterization experiments at Saclay. N. Chauvin et al. this conference

	SIS100 is a unique superconducting heavy ion synchrotron, optimized for the acceleration of intense beams of intermediate charge state heavy ions. The operation with such beams has required new synchrotron design features and new technical concepts aiming for minimized ionization beam loss and vacuum dynamics. SIS100 is a superconducting synchrotron because of the required vacuum conditions and pumping power to achieve stable XHV conditions at high intensity operation. The project and procurement status will be presented.

	After nine-months of beam shutdown by the Great Earthquake in March 2011, the J-PARC facility resumed beam operation. In December 2011, operations were carried out at low duty such as single-shots or 1 to 2.5 Hz for beam tuning. At the beginning of January 2012, we started beam tuning at the full repetition rate of 25 Hz at the linac and the 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS). After the tuning, user programs of the Materials and Life Science Experiment Facility (MLF), the Neutrino facility and the Hadron facility started. The beam power was increased from 100 to 300 kW to the MLF users, from 3.3 kW to 6 kW to the Hadron users, and from 140 to 200 kW to the Neutrino users. The beam availability went lower to 73 % in JFY 2011 due to the trouble of the linac klystron power supply in March, but it has got back to 90-94 % as of November in JFY2012. We have also much upgrade work during the shutdown period or in parallel to the operation. We’ve demonstrated new record power beyond 500kW from the RCS. The status and progress of the J-PARC accelerators are presented.

THPWO037	Status and Progress of the J-PARC 3 GeV RCS	injection, target, neutron, beam-transport	3848
	M. Kinsho JAEA/J-PARC, Tokai-mura, Japan
	The J-PARC rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) has been delivered 300kW beam to both the MLF and the MR with high reliability and small beam loss for user operation. To realize simultaneously two kinds of beam shape which are required from the MLF and the MR, two pulse dipole magnets for injection painting were installed in the beam transport line from the Linac to the RCS. It was successful to make two kinds of beam shape with injection painting bump magnets and these added pulse dipole magnets. This injection painting system is used for user operation and works well for reduction of beam losses. Not only user operation but also high power beam test was performed, and beam power of 524kW for 35 second was achieved with low beam loss in the RCS. Almost all beam loss was localized at the ring collimator and the loss rate was about 2% and this was acceptable because design value of the beam loss was 3%. This power corresponds to 1.8MW for 400MeV injection in terms of the Lasslett tune shift. In this high-intensity trial, significant progress toward design output beam power of 1 MW was demonstrated. The status and progress of the RCS in J-PARC are presented.

	An optics in the SPS with lower integer tunes (20 versus 26) was proposed and introduced in machine studies since 2010, as a measure for increasing transverse and longitudinal instability thresholds, especially at low energy, for the LHC proton beams. After two years of machine studies and careful optimisation, the new “Q20” optics became operational in September 2012 and steadily delivered beam to the LHC until the end of the run. This paper reviews the operational performance of the Q20 optics with respect to transverse and longitudinal beam characteristics in the SPS, enabling high brightness beams injected into the LHC. Aspects of longitudinal beam stability, transmission, high-energy orbit control and beam transfer are discussed.

The Australian Synchrotron injection system and storage ring have been retuned to 1.5 GeV for use in special operations and machine development modes. The systems were designed for 3 GeV user operations but for certain research a lower energy of 1.5 GeV is advantageous. A description of how the new low energy mode was achieved is given, including extraction on the fly from the booster synchrotron and scaling of the storage ring lattice.

An 18 GHz superconducting ECRIS has also been installed to increase beam currents and to extend the variety of ions, especially for highly charged heavy ions which can be accelerated by RCNP cyclotrons. The mirror magnetic field is produced with four liquid-helium-free superconducting coils and the permanent magnet hexapole is of Halbach type with 24 pieces of NEOMAX-44H material. The production development of several ions like B, O, N, Ne, Ar, Ni, Kr and Xe has been performed. Further study for its beam extraction and transport have been done in order to increase the beam injected to cyclotron. The parameters of extraction systems and electrostatic lens are optimized taking account with magnetic field leakage from AVF Cyclotron. Emittance study also has been done to see the quality of injection beam. For that purpose two types of emittance monitor have been developed. One is using three wire profile monitor and another has BPM with rotating wire for quick measurement. The details of these developments will be presented.

The CNGS facility (CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso) aims at directly detecting muon to tau neutrino oscillations where an intense muon-neutrino beam (10¹⁷ muon-neutrinos/day) is generated at CERN and directed over 732km towards the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, LNGS, in Italy, where two large and complex detectors, OPERA and ICARUS, are located. The CNGS facility (CNGS Neutrinos to Gran Sasso) started with the physics program in 2008 and delivered until the end of the physics run 2012 more than 80% of the approved protons on target (22.5·10¹⁹ pot). An overview of the performance and experience gained in operating this 500kW neutrino beam facility is described. Major events since the commissioning of the facility in 2006 are summarized. Highlights on the CNGS beam performance are given.

SIS-18 RF Knock-Out Optimization Studies

The extraction efficiency and spill temporal-structure of the SIS-18 heavy ion synchrotron are part of the upgrades to the GSI accelerator complex. Losses to the extraction septum can be minimised through implementation of the Hardt condition resulting however in a poorer quality of the spill microstructure at resolutions of a few microseconds due to lowering of the horizontal chromaticity from its 'natural' value. Ways to improve the extraction efficiency and spill microstructure are investigated with a tracking code. One possibility for improvement may be to use an alternative RF modulation applied to the knock-out exciter.

We presented the conceptual design of an 800 MeV high power proton ring cyclotron in the paper[1] . A more detailed physical design was carried out since then. The most challenging issues regarding the high power operation, including the space charge effects and beam loss during the extraction, are quantitatively studied by using state-of-the-art high performance computation technique. On that basis the fundamental structure of the cyclotron is adjusted and optimized so as to meet the requirements of MW-class operation. Reference: [1] T. Zhang, J. Yang, M.

The proton irradiation accelerator is widely founded for industry application, and the extracted beam is required to have large intensity as a pulse beam or uniform distribution for scanning. A multi-turn injection is adopted and the proton beam is injected into the ring with the energy of 10MeV. In order to increase injection beam intensity, local bump orbit including two-bump, three-bump and four-bump is well studied and optimized, and the septum magnet thickness and localization are also studied for an effective injection. A RF knock-out method is used for slow extraction due to the fast response character. In order to decrease the global spill, double RF kicker and the control of the aptitude modulation (AM) function of the transverse RF field are well studied.

IMP, Lanzhou, People's Republic of China

The injection, acceleration and extraction of SSC（Separate Sector Cyclotron） is analyzed and simulated to get the longitudinal acceptance, using the typical ion 238U³⁶⁺ with energy 9.7MeV/u. In order to study the actual longitudinal acceptance of SSC, the isochronous magnetic field model in coincidence with the real one is established by Kr-Kb and Lagrange methods based on the actual measurement. Under the isochronous magnetic field, the longitudinal acceptance at the injection, acceleration and extraction is calculated. From the simulation results the transmission efficiency is very low in SSC because of the large phase width of the beam from the injector SFC (Sector Focus Cyclotron). In the machine commissioning, the phase width of the beam line from SFC to SSC is measured by the phase probe, the results show that the actual phase width is larger than the acceptance of SSC.

Two key techniques used in the slow extraction from synchrotron accelerator: longitudinal RF stochastic noise acceleration, and transverse RF knock out excitation have been studied in this paper. Detailed comparison have revealed the potentials and limits of both methods. For the longitudinal RF stochastic acceleration excitation, the focus has been the phase space compression of particles, which makes the them to hasten around the RF bucket of the cavity, thus to lower the senstivity to ripple. For the transverse RF knock out excitation, the emphasis have been optimal schemes of amplitude modulation and frequency modulation of the RF singals. The optimizations are also used to lower the senstivity of the beam to the ripple and to enhance the uniformity of the extracted beam.

The Long Straight Section 2 (LSS2) of the CERN SPS is connected with the North Area (NA), to which the beam to date has always been extracted using a resonant extraction technique. For new proposed short- and long-baseline neutrino experiments, a fast single turn extraction to this experimental area is required. As there are no kickers in LSS2, and the integration of any new kickers with the existing electrostatic septum would be problematic, a solution has been developed to fast extract the beam using non-local extraction with other SPS kickers. Two different kicker systems have been used, the injection kicker in LSS1 and the stronger extraction kicker in LSS6 to extract 100 and 440 GeV beam, respectively. For both solutions a large emittance beam was extracted after 5 or 9 full betatron periods. The concept and simulation details are presented with the analysis of the aperture and beam loss considerations and experimental results collected during a series of beam tests.

For the Long Baseline neutrino facility under study at CERN (LAGUNA-LBNO) it is initially planned to extract a 400 GeV beam from the second long straight section in the SPS into the existing transfer channel TT20 leading to the North Area experimental zone, to a new target aligned with a far detector in Finland. In a second phase a new High-Power Proton Synchrotron (HPPS) accelerator is proposed, to give a 2 MW beam at about 50 GeV on the same target. In this paper the beam transfer systems required for the project are outlined, including the new sections of transfer line between the SPL, HPPS and SPS, and from the SPS to the target, and also the injection and extraction systems in the long straight section of the HPPS. The feasibility of a 4 GeV H⁻ injection system is discussed.

The challenging High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) beam requirements will lead in the future to unprecedented beam parameters along the LHC injector chain. In the SPS accelerator these requests translate into about a factor two higher intensity and brightness than the present design performance. In addition to the challenge of producing and accelerating such beams, these parameters affect the resistance of the existing equipment against beam impact. Most of the protection devices in the SPS ring, its transfer lines and the LHC injection areas will be put under operational constraints which are beyond their design specification. The equipment concerned has been reviewed and their resistance to the HL-LHC beams checked. Theoretical and simulation studies have been performed for the SPS beam scraping system, the protection devices and the dump absorbers of the SPS-to-LHC transfer lines, as well as for the LHC injection protection devices. The first results of these studies are reported, together with the future prospects.

A Short Baseline neutrino facility at CERN is presently under study. It is considered to extract a 100 GeV beam from the second long straight section of the SPS into the existing transfer channel TT20, which leads to the North Area experimental zone. A new transfer line would branch off the existing TT20 line around 600 m downstream of the extraction, followed by an S-shaped horizontal bending arc to direct the beam with the correct angle onto the defined target location. This paper describes the optimisation of the line geometry with respect to the switch regions in TT20, the integration into the existing facilities and the potential refurbishment of existing magnets. The optics design is shown, and the requirements for the magnets, power converters and instrumentation hardware are discussed.

The LHeC would allow for collisions between an electron beam from a new accelerator with the existing LHC hadron beam. Two possible configurations were studied: a separate LINAC (LINAC-ring) or a new electron ring superimposed on the LHC (ring-ring). The racetrack LINAC is now considered as the baseline for the LHeC design, with the ring-ring solution a back up. The studies performed for all the considered options are presented in this paper. For the LINAC-ring option the requirements for the post-collision line and the beam dump design have been evaluated in the cases of a 140 GeV and a 60 GeV electron beam. In the ring-ring option studies have been performed of the optics design of the transfer line from the a 10 GeV injector LINAC into the LHeC ring and of the injection system. The internal 60 GeV electron ring dump design has also been considered.

A new low gamma-transition optics with a lower integer tune, was introduced in the SPS to improve beam stability at high intensity. For transferring the beam to the LHC, the extraction bumps, extraction kickers and transfer lines needed to be adapted to the new optics. In particular, the transfer lines were re-matched and re-commissioned with the new optics. The first operational results are discussed for the SPS extraction, the transfer lines and the LHC injection. A detailed comparison is presented between the old and the new optics of the trajectories, dispersion, losses and other performance aspects.

In 2011 the ELENA decelerator was approved as a CERN project. Initially one extraction was foreseen, which should use a kicker and a magnetic septum which can be recuperated from an earlier installation. Since then a second extraction has been approved and a new solution was studied using only electric fields to extract the beam. This will be achieved by fast pulsing a separator, allowing single-bunch but also a full single-turn extraction from ELENA towards the experiments. The extraction and transfer requirements of ELENA are described, followed by the principal differences between the magnetic and electric field concepts. The design of electrostatic focussing and bending devices for the transfer lines will be presented. Finally the field quality which can be achieved with the separator and the concept of its power supply will be discussed.

ELSA is a fast ramping stretcher ring currently supplying polarized electrons with energies up to 2.4 GeV. To preserve the degree of polarization, the vertical orbit needs to be continuously corrected during beam acceleration. The acceleration is usually performed within 300 ms, with a maximum ramping speed of 6 GeV/s. We aim to achieve a vertical rms deviation not exceeding 50 μm all along the fast energy ramp. In the near future we plan to accelerate polarized electrons up to 3.2 GeV. Therefore, both the power supplies and the corrector magnets have been currently upgraded: first, new power supplies working with a pulsed transistor H-Bridge were developed and successfully installed. Additionally, the existing vertical corrector magnets will now be replaced by newly developed ones. In our contribution, we will present the new correction hardware supplemented by the beam position monitors and their readout electronics.

In order to observe the motion of bunch-by-bunch beam oscillation of multi-bunch in the storage ring, we developed two measurement tools. One is a signal process electronics circuit using fast analogue switches. The circuit picks up one of the selected bunch signal of the beam position monitor from the multi-bunch. The selected beam position signal can be processed as a single bunch beam. By changing the gate timing, arbitrary bunch signal can be selected. The other is a waveform memory using a high bandwidth oscilloscope. The long waveform memory of the oscilloscope has a capability to acquire the multi-turn waveform of the button electrode signals. The beam test of the circuit has been carried out at KEK-ATF damping ring in the cases of 2.8ns bunch spacing and 5.6ns bunch spacing, respectively. The detail of the hardware and the result of the beam test are reported.

The J-PARC 3-GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) has been provided proton beam to the Material and Life Science Facility (MLF)as well as to the 50 GeV Main Ring (MR). Proton beam is accelerated from 181 MeV to 3GeV in the RCS and immediately extracted it to the beam transport line to the MLF and the MR. Extraction kicker magnets are used for this fast extraction. To improve reliability of the RCS for user operation, production of a reserve kicker magnet has been performed. The kicker magnet mainly consists of Ni-Zn ferrite cores and Aluminum alloy plates, and these parts are installed in vacuum chamber to prevent discharge because a high voltage is applied to the magnet for a short period. Since it is important to reduce the outgassing of water vapor form these parts to prevent discharge, we has been produced the reserve magnet with low outgassing at high voltage discharge. Since assemble of the kicker magnet already finished and vacuum test has been performed, the result of vacuum test is reported.

High precision tracking and small current ripple are necessary for a magnet power supply of a high power accelerator. A prototype power supply of the 100kW class is developed with an aim of small current ripple less than 10ppm, which employs a combination of main and sub-converter with symmetrical structure. The main converter unit supplies pattern current by a voltage feedforward control, while the sub-converters by a current feedback control. The symmetrical structure of the power supply is adopted to decouple normal mode and common mode ripples. Each converter unit is modularized and surrounded by a Faraday cage suppress for suppressing radiation of electrical noise and ease for maintenance. Its performance is studied using a set of 24 units of setupole magnets installed in J-PARC Main Ring.

Proton beam is accelerated from 181 MeV to 3GeV in the RCS and immediately extracted it to the beam transport line to the MLF and the MR. Extraction kicker system is used for this fast extraction. The RCS has been operated for the neutron and MLF users program from December 23rd, 2008. At the beginning of user operation there were many troubles for the extraction kicker system, especially, thyratron which are used for switch of power supply often caused failure. The beam stop rate due to RCS extraction kicker system was more than 13% in the total beam stop of the J-PARC, establishment and operation experience of the tuning for power supply of the extraction kicker make the beam stop rate less than 0.5% in November 2012. In this paper, we are going to report about daily operation whose main is about operation of thyratron and the maintenance held in summer 2012. And　 We also going to report about the aptitude test of thyratron as a plan of the future.

For the purpose of realization of single-turn injection and extraction from the NSLS-II booster synchrotron, BINP members created nanosecond non-vacuum ferrite kickers with fronts of pulsed magnetic field of ~ 200 ns, flat-top duration of 300 nsec and its instability of 0.2/1% at most. This paper describes the design of unique kicker magnets with ceramic vacuum chambers with deposited longitudinal strips of titanium nitride (TiN) inside. The paper also presents the results of bench tests of the kickers: oscillograms of current pulse in bus bars, the shape of the pulsed magnetic field, and transverse distribution of the longitudinal field integral in the kicker aperture.

A set of identical ferrite kicker modules is utilized for the injection and extraction of the NSLS-2 booster ring. The pulse power supplies of these modules are based on the PFN-thyratron design. The pulse current amplitude of up to 4 kA at 300 ns flat top duration and PFN charging voltage of up to 23 kV were achieved on the extraction pulsers. The pulse to pulse repeatability of the output current waveform was measured and made up to 0.05% (σ) at nominal current for the extraction pulsers. The injection pulsers have a specification on the reverse current overshoot to be less than 0.5% of the amplitude. To fulfill this requirement a single turn saturated choke in the thyratron circuit was used. The design and the test results of the power supplies on NSLS-2 site are presented in the paper.

In view of future upgrade plans, the beam loss monitor (BLM) coverage of the PS Booster (PSB) rings was reviewed. The response of two types of monitors, LHC-IC and LHC-LIC, has been studied with FLUKA at LINAC4 injection and PSB extraction energies. The goal of this study was to find out whether the current beam loss monitor coverage of two monitors at a certain location per PSB section was adapted to potential beam losses associated with a future Linac4 injection. The outcome of this study was a proposal to double the number of beam loss monitors in the PSB section by using a combination of horizontally oriented LHC-IC and LHC-LIC type monitors.

The maximum driving voltage of TPS booster extraction kicker is close to 30 kV, the HV insulation should be carefully noticed. A DC withstand voltage tester MUSASHI 3802 (Model: IP-701G) is used to test the DC breakdown voltage, which the maximum driving voltage is 37 kV. The 10 mm gap between coil and ferrite is designed in order to increase HV break down voltage. The safety breakdown distance between HV coil and grounding plate was tested in air. Different insulation material with different thickness was tested the breakdown voltage. Thicker than 10 mm ceramic plate could effectively avoid the breakdown occurred with 37 kV DC charging. Thus HV withstand voltage will be higher in vacuum chamber and the insulation with HV will not be the problem.

A low-latency, sub-micron resolution stripline beam position monitoring system has been developed and tested with beam at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility, where it has been used as part of a feedback system for beam stabilisation. The fast analogue front-end signal processor is based on a single-stage down-mixer and is combined with an FPGA-based system for digitisation and feedback control. A resolution as low as 400 nm has been demonstrated for beam intensities of ~1 nC, with single-pass beam. The latest results of recent modifications to balance the input path lengths to the processor will be discussed. These modifications compensate for the inherent phase sensitivity of the processors, and hence improve the intrinsic resolution, without the need for offline correction. Modifications to the FPGA firmware will also be described, to allow for flexible operation with variable system-synchronous data acquisition at up to 400 MHz, with up to nine data channels of 13-bit width, and a nominal record length of 1 KS/channel/pulse (extensible to a total record length of 120 KS per pulse, for example, for use with long bunch trains or wide-band multi-turn measurements in storage rings).

A critical point for the polarized proton program of the RHIC is the polarization transmission through the AGS acceleration cycle. Recent developments in the Zgoubi model of the AGS allow multi-particle tracking with realistic beam and machine conditions on a large scale computing system. This gives the opportunity to simulate the influence of many beam and machine conditions on the polarization transmission and leads to a better understanding of the depolarization processes, for instance the horizontal intrinsic resonances, that cannot be accurately explored by the conventional simulation approaches or by the experiments with beam. This paper introduces the developments realized on the Zgoubi code to run these simulations and shows some of the latest results.

In Accelerator Driven Systems, high availability of the accelerator is one of its key requirements. Fortunately, not every beam trip is necessarily a failure. For example, in the proposed MYRRHA transmuter, absence of the beam for less than 3 seconds is still deemed acceptable. Predictive diagnostics strives to predict where a failure is likely to occur, so that a mitigating action can be taken in a more controlled manner, thus preventing failure of other components while exactly pinpointing the component that is about to fail. One approach to predictive diagnostics is to analyze process variables that quantify inputs and outputs of components as archived by the accelerator's distributed control system. By observing trends in their values an impending fault can be predicted. In addition, sensors measuring e.g., vibration, temperature or noise can be attached to critical components. By analyzing the signatures of signals acquired by these sensors, non-nominal behavior can be detected which possibly indicates a looming failure.

The Pre-Damping Rings (PDRs) and Damping Rings (DRs) of CLIC are needed to reduce the beam emittances to the small values required for the main linacs. The injection and extraction, from the PDRs and DRs, are carried out by kicker systems. In order to achieve both low beam coupling impedance and reasonable broadband impedance matching to the electrical circuit, striplines have been chosen for the kicker elements. The design of the stripline kicker was previously carried out by modelling the striplines with simulation codes such as HFSS, Quickfield and CST Particle Studio. In order to have a complete analysis of the striplines, the effect of electrodes supports and coaxial feedthroughs have been studied in detail. In this paper, electromagnetic analyses of the complete striplines, including fabrication tolerances, are reported. Furthermore, a new idea for impedance matching is presented.

A multi-Optical Transition Radiation (mOTR) system made of four stations is being used routinely since September 2011 for transverse beam size measurement and emittance reconstruction in the extraction line of ATF2, providing diagnostic support during the ATF2 tuning operation. Furthermore it is also an excellent tool for fast transverse coupling correction. Due to the compactness of the current design the system has an influence in the increase of the transverse emittance due to wakefield effects when a simultaneous measurement is made. To avoid this effect a new target holder and a new optics has been designed and implemented. In this paper we describe the present status of the ATF2 mOTR system, showing recent performance results, and hardware design improvements.

Irregular hits of high-intensity LHC beams on collimators can lead to severe damage of the collimator jaws. The identification of damaged collimator jaws by observation of beam measurements is challenging: online loss measurements at the moment of the impacts can be tricky and degradation of the overall performance from single collimator damage can be difficult to measure. Visual inspections are excluded because collimator jaws are enclosed in vacuum tanks without windows. However, the sound generated during the beam impact can be used to give an estimate of the damage level. In 2012, high-intensity beam comparable to a full nominal LHC bunch at 7 TeV was shot on a tertiary type LHC collimator at the HiRadMat test facility at CERN. The paper presents results from sound recordings of this experiment.

The LHC is filled from the SPS via two 3km long transfer lines. In the first years of LHC operation large trajectory variations were discovered. The sources of bunch-by-bunch and shot-by-shot trajectory variations had been identified and improved by the 2012 LHC run. The origins of the longer term drifts were however still unclear and significant time was spent correcting the trajectories. In the last part of the 2012 run the optics in the SPS was changed to lower transition energy. Trajectory stability and correction frequency will be compared between before and after the optics change in the SPS. The sources of the variations have now been identified and will be discussed in this paper. Remedies for operation after the long shutdown will be proposed.

The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is a low-energy scaled facility for the study of intense beam dynamics, relevant to higher energy, high intensity accelerators. Many parameters crucial to understanding space charge dominated beam evolution, such as transverse emittance and longitudinal temperature, require the use of turn-by-turn interceptive diagnostics. To meet this need, we plan to implement an extraction section with a fast-pulsed electric-field kicker. This paper presents a suite of simulations used to guide the design process and predict extraction performance, using the WARP Particle-in-cell (PIC) code. Simulations in a transverse slice geometry predict beam trajectory and monitor beam evolution through extraction. After isolating a design based on centroid tracking, extraction acceptance is probed and an analysis proposed to estimate the error tolerances of the new ring elements.

The CERN LHC is equipped with two Synchrotron Radiation Monitor systems used to characterise transverse and longitudinal beam distributions. Since the end of the 2011 LHC run the light extraction system, based on a retractable mirror, has suffered deformation and mechanical failure that is correlated to the increase in beam intensity. Temperature probes have associated these observations to a strong heating of the mirror support with a dependence on the longitudinal bunch length and shape, indicating the origin as electromagnetic coupling between the beam and the structure. This paper combines all this information with the aim of characterising and improving the system in view of its upgrade during the current LHC shutdown. Beam-based observations are presented along with electromagnetic and thermomechanical simulations and complemented by laboratory measurements, including the study of the RF properties of different mirror bulk and coating materials.

Research in fundamental physics, nuclear physics or advanced materials, requires linear accelerators as irradiation sources with higher and higher beam intensity. In such machines, not only high beam power but also high space charge are the major challenges. This double concern often induces conflicting issues, which should be overcome from the accelerator design stage. It progressively appears that the usual methods are no more sufficient. Even new concepts are to be invented. With mega-watt beams, losses and also micro-losses must be minimised while with very strong space charge, few room can be reserved for beam diagnostics. New strategies for design and tuning are to be carried out. The beam itself can no more be described only by its classical values like emittance and Twiss parameters. Core and halo parts should be instead precisely defined and kept under surveillance. The beam phase space distribution itself becomes determinant, which is very far from waterbag or gaussian distributions. This paper aims at proposing new considerations for very high-intensity linacs while recalling the usual ones, from designing and tuning methods to beam definitions and characterisations.

In order to satisfy the rapidly increased domestic needs for PET in China, a small medical cyclotron named CYCIAE-14 is designed and constructed in CIAE ( China Institute of Atomic Energy ) . As the beam intensity in CYCIAE-14 is high, the beam emittance should be controlled strictly in order to reduce the beam loss in the cyclotron. Precessional mixing and resonance crossing are the two main factors leading to emittance growth in the cyclotron with stripping extraction. In this paper, the physical mechanism of precessional mixing in a stripping extraction cyclotron is investigated. After that, the maximum allowable field errors in CYCIAE-14 are derived using the Hamiltonian formalism and numerical simulation, which provides a reference for the cyclotron design and field shimming.

Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a high intensity proton accelerator, with average beam power of 100kW. In order to high intensity beam operation, the beam coupling impedance of the extracted kickers must be controlled. Longitudinal and transverse impedance of extracted kicker prototype with power supply had been roughly measured by coaxial-wire and dual-wire methods respectively. At the same time, impedance of window has been analyzed theoretically and simulated based on CST PARTICLE STUDIO.

In the CLIC two-beam scheme, the main beam is accelerated by rf power provided by energy extraction from a secondary drive beam. This energy is extracted in decelerators, and the first prototype decelerator is the Test Beam Line in the CLIC Test Facility 3. The line is currently equipped with 12 Power Extraction and Transfer Structures (PETS), which allows for extracting up to 40% of the beam energy. We correlate the measured deceleration with predictions from the beam current and the rf power produced in the PETS. We also discuss recent bunch length measurements and how it influences the deceleration. Finally we look at the evolution of the transverse emittance.

New experiments could benefit from energies of ~100 MeV, significantly lower than 180 MeV which is the lowest energy routinely available with the microtron cascade of MAMI-B. This article describes the difficulties which arise due to the drastically reduced injection energy of the first microtron (RTM-1) and presents the results of the beam tests which have been performed. We suggest a new beam extraction system from RTM-2 which will avoid these problems.

This paper proposes a new method to extract extremely weak beam from a high-intensity proton rapid cycling synchrotron in the parasitic mode, while maintaining the normal fast extraction. The usual slow extraction from a synchrotron by third-order resonance method cannot be applied in a RCS due to very short flat-top at the extraction energy. This is even more difficult when it is high-intensity synchrotron due to the strict control on beam loss. The parasitic slow extraction method to extract extremely weak beam from the RCS of CSNS has been studied in details. By moving only beam halo to a scatting foil in the arc region by a local orbit bump in about 2 ms before the fast extraction, one can extract a very small part of the scattered particles with very limited beam loss in the process. At 1.6 GeV and 62.5 A in beam power, halo particles of about 10^-4 total particles are involved in the parasitic slow extraction can result in a beam intensity of 2105 protons per cycle or lower. Detailed studies including scattering effect in the foil, orbit bumps by bump magnets and energy displacement by adjusting RF, and multi-particle simulations by ORBIT and TURTLE codes are presented.

Considering the beam divergence and the convergence of the spherical electrode, the beam transmission model is presented, and the variation of beam edge is described by a formula, which is used to calculate the beam divergence half-angle with the experimental data obtained by the thermocouples. Assuming the beam divergence half-angle is constant in space and time, the beam profile distribution formula and variation of beam axial intensity are introduced. Taking the HT-7 Diagnostic Neutral Beam (DNB) as a reference, the divergence half-angle is calculated for the neutral beam shot 60901. The 1/e half-width of beam at collimation target calculated by formula is in agreement with that of experimental data. Variation of beam edge and axial intensity with downstream distance is estimated for HT-7 diagnostic neutral beam.

The future ELENA ring at CERN will decelerate the AD antiproton beam further from 5.3 MeV to 100 keV kinetic energy, to increase the efficiency of antiproton trapping. At present there are four experimental areas in the AD hall which will be complemented with the installation of ELENA by additional three experiments and an additional source for commissioning. This paper describes the optimisation of the transfer line geometry, ring rotation and source position. The optics of the transfer lines and error studies to define field and alignment tolerances are shown, and the optics particularities of electrostatic elements and their optimisation highlighted.

EMMA is the world’s first non-scaling FFAG, based at Daresbury Laboratory. EMMA has a very large acceptance and has demonstrated acceleration in the serpentine channel. PRISM (Phase Rotated Intense Slow Muon source) is a next generation muon to electron conversion experiment aiming to obtain intense quasi-monochromatic low energy muon beams by performing RF phase rotation in an FFAG ring. Current baseline design for PRISM applies the scaling FFAG ring, but an alternative machine could be based on a ns-FFAG principle. As the transverse-longitudinal coupling is present in ns-FFAGs due to a natural chromaticity, its effect on the final energy spread and beam quality needs to be tested. In order to gauge the expected results, an experiment was designed to be performed on EMMA. We report here the details of this experiment and the results gathered from EMMA operation.

Most of measurements, with circulating beam in a ring, to determine transverse and longitudinal phase space volume are rather indirect although it is of importance to characterize these beam parameters for better understanding the machine. Direct measurements may be performed when the beam is extracted to a beam line, where destructive methods are available. However, light sources can tolerate internal beam dumping and thus do not have an extraction line in general. We, therefore, propose a diagnostic dedicated extraction line, motivated by precise determination of the geometrical vertical emittance, which can be a few pm or even less and general comparisons of direct and indirect measurements. Such an extraction beam line has been realized in several accelerator facilities, e.g. KEK-ATF. The idea is, however, to equip a compact beam line, which fits into the existing tunnel and allows us to measure transverse and longitudinal emittances. We present possible design of an extraction beam line assuming typical light source parameters.

Deflecting cavity geometries considered for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)crab scheme lack axial symmetry resulting in non-zero higher-order components of the deflecting field. A formalism to express the higher-order multipoles was developed and applied on previous cavity designs to characterize their influence on the beam stability. In this paper, the radio frequency (RF) multipoles are numerically estimated for the latest cavity geometries and compared to the older versions. A sensitivity study is carried to understand the numerical error levels and define mechanical tolerances.

MedAustron is a synchrotron based hadron therapy and research facility located in Austria currently entering the installation stage. It is an implementation of the CERN-PIMMS design which proposed induction acceleration by a betatron core as the driving mechanism for the third-order slow resonant extraction. Primarily in order to increase the accelerators flexibility towards future irradiation schemes but also as back-up options, two alternative extraction driving mechanism have been studied: Longitudinal RF-noise and phase displacement acceleration. The advantages as well as the corresponding limitations are explained, analytical estimates and particle tracking results performed with the 2D tracking codes LONG1D and a specifically developed Python based simulation code are presented.

The observation of a significant dynamic pressure rise as well as measurements with dedicated detectors indicate that an electron cloud develops in the CERN PS during the last stages of the RF manipulations for the production of LHC type beams, especially with 25ns bunch spacing. Although presently these beams are not degraded by the interaction with the electron cloud, which develops only during few milliseconds before extraction, the question if this effect could degrade the future high intensity and high brightness beams foreseen by the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project is still open. Therefore several studies are being carried out employing both simulations and measurements with the electron cloud detectors in the machine. The aim is to develop a reliable electron cloud model of the PS vacuum chambers in order to identify possible future limitations and find suitable countermeasures.

The JPARC main ring fast extraction (FX) system has two functions, deliver high power beam to the neutrino experimental facility and dump the beam at any time in case of hardware failures. The present FX system consists of five pair of bipolar kickers and eight pair of bipolar septa. In order to raise the beam power to the design limit, both the beam intensity and the repetition rate will increase gradually. The FX system needs to be upgraded to satisfy the new requirements. The upgrade includes FX orbit optimization and new design of devices. Firstly, the conventional multi-turn low-field septa will be replaced by eddy current type septa. Several configurations of the new design has been studied to realize the requirements of thinner septum, higher field quality, lower leakage and higher mechanical stability. To provide sufficient flat top field for the FX beam, superposition of 3rd harmonic pulse has been employed.

The combined PTC-ORBIT code has been developed a few years ago to study the dynamics of the high intensity proton beams in synchrotrons, including the nonlinear machine resonances and the space charge effects in the self-consistent manner. In order to extend the code abilities the time variation of the main elements of the synchrotron has been introduced into the PTC module of the code. This feature opens the direct way to model the multi-turn injection process and the slow extraction process by using realistic machine description, in particular the dynamic variation of the betatron tunes, strength of the bump magnets, dynamic resonance correction or resonance excitation. To demonstrate the code abilities the corresponding simulations for CERN PS Booster and for J-PARC Main Ring are discussed.

Beam loading compensation is indispensable to accelerate high intensity proton beams in the J-PARC MR. The MA-loaded rf cavities in the MR are driven by the single harmonic (h=9) rf signals, while the cavity frequency response covers also the neighbor harmonics (h=8, 10). The wake voltage induced by the beam consists of the three harmonics (h=8, 9, 10). We employ the rf feedforward method to compensate the beam loading of these harmonics. The full-digital feedforward system was developed for the MR. We have successfully commissioned the feedforward patterns for all of eight cavities by using high intensity beams with 1.0·10¹⁴ ppp. We present the commissioning results. The impedance seen by the beam is reduced and the longitudinal oscillations due to the beam loading are reduced. By the beam loading compensation, high power beam operation at the beam power of 200 kW has been achieved.

In this paper, the beam capture processes are simulated in CSRm with the real RF cavity curves. By now, CSRm can accelerate all ions from protons up to the heaviest element, uranium, with variable energies and different efficiency. During the beam capture processes, the capture voltage and capture time must be cheese properly to avoid the beam loss. Moreover, the mismatch between the actual and the setting beam energy and space charge effect are investigated for high beam capture efficiency. The evolution of longitudinal phase space during the capture processes is presented in this simulation too.

The LHC Injectors Upgrade project (LIU) has been initiated to improve the performances of the existing injector complex at CERN to match the future requirements of the HL-LHC. In this framework, the Proton Synchrotron (PS) will undergo fundamental changes for many of its main systems: the injection energy will be increased to reduce space-charge effects, the transverse damper will be improved to cope with transverse instabilities the RF systems will be upgraded to accelerate higher beam intensity and brightness. These hardware improvements are triggered by a series of studies meant to identify the most critical performance bottlenecks, like space charge, impedances, longitudinal and transverse instabilities, as well as electron-cloud. Additionally, alternative production schemes for the LHC-type beams have been proposed and implemented to circumvent some of the present limitations. A summary of the most recent advances of the studies, as well as the proposed hardware improvements is given.

In order to increase the transverse brightness of beams for the LHC, ever more complicated RF manipulations have been proposed in the PS machine in order to reduce the intensity demands per PS batch on the upstream PS Booster. Several schemes based on cascades of batch compression, bunch merging, as well as the more routine bunch splitting have been successfully commissioned and higher brightness beams have been delivered to the downstream accelerators for measurement. Despite all this complexity, longitudinal and transverse beam quality are well preserved. In addition, to fully profit from the brightness of all four PS Booster rings, the injection of twice 4 bunches into harmonic 9 buckets in the PS has been made operational as an alternative to the usual double-batch transfer of 4+2 bunches into harmonic 7. This paper summarizes the new beam production schemes, their implementation in the PS low-level RF system and the experimental results.

The performance of the PS has been constantly increasing over the years both in terms of beam parameters (intensity and brightness) and beam manipulations (transverse and longitudinal splitting). This implies a very good knowledge of the linear and non-linear model of the ring. In this paper we report on a detailed campaign of beam measurements based on turn-by-turn orbit data aimed at measuring the optics in several conditions as well as the resonance driving terms. The goal of this study is to assess whether any specific correction system should be envisaged to achieve the required future performance.

A key ingredient for the Multi-Turn Extraction at the CERN Proton Synchrotron is the beam trapping in stable islands of transverse phase space. The control of the trapping process is essential for the quality of the final beam in terms of intensity sharing and emittance. In this paper, a method allowing an analytical estimation of the fraction of beam trapped into stable islands as a function of the Hamiltonian parameters is presented for a very simple model of the dynamics (pendulum) and is extended to the case of the interpolating Hamiltonian of the Hénon model, the latter being a good 2D model of the MTE dynamics. The analytical results are compared with numerical simulations. Additional numerical simulations are presented for the minimum trapping amplitude and a fitted model is proposed. Results are discussed in detail.

The proposed Multi-Turn Extraction (MTE) for the CERN PS allows to reduce the overall extraction losses for high intensity beams. The required longitudinal structure of the proton beam induces unavoidable beam losses at the magnetic extraction septum. The installation of a dummy septum with an appropriate shielding has been proposed to localise losses and to shadow the magnetic septum. Such a device, located in the extraction region, imposes tight constraints on the available beam aperture. Modified extraction schemes have been proposed and in this paper they will be presented and discussed in detail together with the measured performance.

The losses created by the proposed Multi-Turn Extraction (MTE) at the CERN PS induces high activation of the magnetic extraction septum due to the de-bunched longitudinal beam structure requested to transfer the beam to the SPS. A mitigation measure is under study aiming at localizing losses in a well-shielded area by shadowing the magnetic extraction septum thanks to septum-like passive device. Such a solution is based on a so-called dummy septum, a blade which absorbs particles during the rise time of the extraction kickers for MTE beams. The efficiency of the scheme is presented in this paper. The quantitative estimate is based on detailed simulations that analyse the beam-matter interaction and provide a determination of the shadowing effect of the dummy septum.

The main limitations for beam parameters at extraction like intra beam scattering and tune shift due to space charge are discussed. The electron cooler plays key role in ELENA both for efficient deceleration as well as for preparing extracted beam with parameters defined by experiments. The other important systems like beam vacuum, beam instrumentations and others are reviewed as well.

A new design for simultaneous delivery of the electron beam to all four 12 GeV CEBAF experimental halls* requires a new 750 MHz RF separator system in the 5th pass extraction region, a 250 MHz repetition rate for its beams, and addition of a fourth laser at the photo-cathode gun. The proposed system works in tandem with the existing 500 MHz RF separators and beam repetition rate on the lower passes. The new 5th pass RF separators will have the same basic design but modified to run at 750 MHz. The change to the beam repetition rate will be at the photo-cathode gun through an innovative upgrade of the seed laser driver system using electro-optic modulators. The new laser system also allows addition of the fourth laser. The new RF separators, the new laser system and other hardware changes required to implement the Four-Hall operation delivery system will be discussed in this paper.

Since 2009 more than 1100 tumour patients have been treated at the Heidelberg Ion Therapy-Centre (HIT). The HIT synchrotron produces a library of energy, focus and intensity-variable pencil beams used to deliver dose distributions of utmost conformity to irregularly shaped target volumes. The required number of particles for each volume element of the tumour, which can vary by more than two magnitudes, is applied using the rasterscan technology. The irradiation-time and thus the patient throughput are highly sensitive to the achieved spill-structure driven by RF-Knockout extraction. Presently unfavourable fluctuations of the extracted intensity due to inhomogeneous phase space distribution of the beam are present. Recently a feedback-loop coupling the dose-defining ionisation chamber in front of the patient with the RF-Exciter was implemented allowing for the adaptation of the extracted intensity to the patient-specific treatment plan in real-time. The technical implementation and the impact on the clinical operation will be discussed.

For obtaining higher luminosity in the SuperKEKB, the photocathode RF electron gun with strong electric focusing field for high-current, low-emittance beams will be employed in the injector linac. The electron beams with a charge of 5 nC and a normalized emittance of 10 μm are expected to be generated in the photocathode RF gun by using the laser source with a center wavelength of 260 nm and a pulse width of 30 ps. Furthermore, for reducing the emittance, the laser pulse width should be reshaped from Gaussian to rectangle structure. Therefore, Ytterbium (Yb)-doped laser system that provides broader bandwidth, higher amplify efficiency and higher output power is employed. The laser system starts with a large mode-area Yb-doped fiber-based amplifier system, which consists of a passively mode-locked femtosecond Yb-fiber oscillator and two steps Yb-fiber amplifier. To obtain the several 10mJ-class pulse energy, a Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative solid-state amplifier is employed. Deep UV pulses for the photocathode are generated by using two frequency-doubling stages. High pulse energy and good stability would be expected.

Injection and extraction systems of modern accelerator complexes have high requirements for measurements accuracy of pulsed magnets field parameters. To satisfy these demands the fast and precision digital integrators were elaborated in BINP, Russia. These devices are intended for measurements in pulsed magnets (septum magnets, bumps, etc.) with the field duration, ranging from 5 μs, providing a relative accuracy better than 5•10^-5. The set of these devices are the main measuring electronics in injection and extraction section of 3 GeV Booster Ring at NSLS-II facility, which is under construction now in BNL (USA).

The LHC injectors are being upgraded to meet the demanding beam specification required for High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) operation. In order to reduce the beam losses which can trigger the sensitive LHC beam loss interlocks during the SPS-to-LHC beam injection process, it is important that the beam tails are properly scraped away in the SPS. The current SPS tail cleaning system relies on a moveable scraper blade, with the positioning of the scraper adjusted over time according to the orbit variations of the SPS. A new robust beam tail cleaning system has been designed which will use a fixed scraper block towards which the beam will be moved by a local magnetic orbit bump. The design proposal is presented, together with the related beam dynamics studies and results from machine studies with beam.

CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

With above 22fb-1 integrated luminosity delivered to the experiments ATLAS and CMS the LHC surpassed the results of 2011 by more than a factor 5. This was achieved at 4TeV, with intensities of ~2e14p per beam. The uncontrolled loss of only a small fraction of the stored beam is sufficient to damage parts of the sc. magnet system, accelerator equipment or the particle physics experiments. To protect against this a correct functioning of the complex LHC machine protection (MP) systems through the operational cycle is essential. Operating with up to 140MJ stored beam energy was only possible due to the experience and confidence gained in the two previous running periods, where the intensity was slowly increased. In this paper the 2012 performance of the MP systems is discussed. The strategy applied for a fast, but safe, intensity ramp up and the monitoring of the MP systems during stable running periods are presented. Weaknesses in the reliability of the MP systems, set-up procedures and setting adjustments for machine development periods, discovered in 2012, are critically reviewed and improvements for the LHC operation after the up-coming long shut-down of the LHC are proposed.

For the MedAustron facility under construction in Wiener Neustadt/Austria, two electrostatic septa are built in collaboration with CERN. These septa will be used for the multi-turn injection of protons and ions, as well as for the slow extraction from the synchrotron. The power supplies are designed to combine the required precision with the capability to cycle sufficiently fast to keep up with the machine cycle. The septa are being assembled at CERN. Initial tests have been done on the remote displacement system to validate its precision and communication protocol with the MedAustron control system. Subsequently the septa are tested for vacuum performance and then HV conditioned. The construction of the septa, the requirements of the power supplies and the high voltage circuit will be described. Results of the initial laboratory tests, prior to installation in the accelerator, will be given.

The hydrogen (H2 and D2) target is the determining element of unstable nucleus spectroscopy. This target is proposed for heavy ions beam of several MeV/nucleon in SPIRAL and SPIRAL 2 projects. Without window, the carbone contamination of the hydrogen target could be avoided. Within the project of CHyMENE (Cible d’Hydrogène Mince pour l’Etude des Noyaux Exotiques), the development of hydrogen target is supported by ANR (Agence National de la Recherche) which federates differents French research institutes such as CNRS and CEA. The IPN Orsay is involved on the conception and simulations of a nozzle which can deliver a solid ribbon of 50 micron thickness; it is a very challenging program since the knowledge about hydrogen solid at 12 K is rare, especially in terms of experimental characterizations. The important work consists at first to propose models of simulations in order to study mechanical behaviours of solid hydrogen at cryogenic temperature under pressure and optimize the geometry parameters as well as rheology properties of nozzle. The mechanical non linear modelling including contact behaviours are presented. The first simulations results are summarized.

At the electron accelerator ELSA, a new external beamline is under construction, whose task is to provide a primary electron beam for detector tests. In the future, the accelerator facility will not only be offering an electron beam to the currently installed double polarization experiments for baryon spectroscopy, but to the new "Research and Technology Center Detector Physics" as well. This institution will be established near the accelerator in Bonn and is charged with the development of detectors for particle and astroparticle physics. The requirement for the new beamline is to be able to vary the beam parameters such as beam current and width over a wide range. With the resonance extraction method, it is possible to extract electrons with a maximum energy of 3.2 GeV slowly to the test area. A quasi-continuous external beam current of 1 fA to 100 pA can be offered. A further reduction of the beam current can be realized by utilizing the single-pulse operation mode at ELSA. The beam width can be changed in both transverse directions from 1 mm to 8 mm.

A 100 MeV H⁻ compact cyclotron is being constructed in China Institute of Atomic Energy (CYCIAE-100). 75 MeV - 100 MeV proton beams with 200 μA beam intensity will be extracted in dual opposite directions by charge exchange stripping devices. Two stripping probes with carbon foils are inserted radially in the opposite direction from the main magnet pole and the obtained two proton beams after stripping foil are transported into the crossing point in a combination magnet center separately under the fixed main magnetic field. Because of the large energy range of the extracted beam, the stripping probe system is the most critical and complicated device in the dual extraction. In order to save the foil changing time, the structure of the foil changing system in the vacuum is adopted. The foil automatic changing machine is outside the magnetism yoke and 12 pieces foil can be changed in one time. The design and fabrication of the probe system has been finished and it is going to the progress of installation and adjusting. The experimental verification on probe rod driving and foil changing system has been finished in 2010. The whole stripping extraction system will be installed in 2013.

The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) accelerator systems will provide a 1.6 Gev proton beam to a target for neutron production. The extraction dump is used to incept the waste beam in the Ring-Target transport line. At the end of the beam pipe, we adopt a thin window to ensure the accelerator vacuum. When beam gets across the window, temperature of the window will be elevator because of the energy deposit. So, the study on structure and thermal stress analysis is necessary. This article expatiates the way on calculating the energy deposit and thermal stress analyses.

Over the past years, the UA9 experiment has successfully demonstrated the viability of enhancing the collimation efficiency of proton and ion beams in the SPS by means of bent crystals. An extension of UA9 to the LHC has been recently approved. The conditions imposed by the LHC operational environment, in particular the tremendous energy density of the beam, require a reliable understanding of the crystal integrity in view of potential accident scenarios such as an asynchronous beam dump. For this purpose, irradiation tests have been performed at the CERN-HiRadMat facility to examine the mechanical strength of a silicon strip crystal in case of direct beam impact. The tests were carried out using a 440 GeV proton beam of 0.5 mm transverse size. The crystal, 3 mm long in beam direction, was exposed to a total of 2*10¹⁴ protons, with individual pulse intensities reaching up to 3*10¹³. First visual inspections reveal no macroscopic damage to the crystal. Complementary post-irradiation tests are foreseen to assess microscopic lattice damage as well as the degradation of the channelling efficiency.

Crystal-assisted Collimation Experiment from the SPS to the LHC

UA9 was operated in the CERN-SPS for more than six years in view of investigating the feasibility of the halo collimation assisted by bent crystals. Two-millimeter-long silicon crystals, with bending angles of about 150 μrad, are used as primary collimators. The crystal collimation process is obtained consistently through channeling with high efficiency, showing a steady reduction of almost one order of magnitude of the loss rate at the onset of the channeling process. This result holds both for protons and for lead-ions. The corresponding loss map in the accelerator ring is accordingly reduced. These observations strongly support our expectation that the coherent deflection of the beam halo by a bent crystal should enhance the collimation efficiency also in LHC. After a concise description of the results collected in the SPS we propose a scenario to integrate bent crystals in the LHC collimation system for machine experiment.

The CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson lab will have a new experimental hall, Hall D, added to its existing three halls as a part of the ongoing 12 GeV upgrade. Under the present CEBAF design, there is no option for sending beam to all four halls simultaneously. At least one hall has to stay down during the machine operation. A new pattern for interleaving the beam bunches is introduced that allows simultaneous operation of all four halls and provide opportunity for additional future experimental beams. The new configuration presents only a minimal change to the existing CEBAF extraction system. In fact all the lower pass extractions will stay as they are and only the frequency of 5th-pass horizontal RF separator will change. In order to make room for the new Hall D beam among the existing three beams, the beam repetition rate is reduced only for the halls taking beam at the highest pass. This and other details of the new configuration and beam pattern will be presented and discussed. A separate paper in this conference will cover the implementation choices including changes to the beam source and extraction region.*

By implanting positive muons in a substance (either gas, liquid or solid), their magnetic moments can be used to sample the magnetic properties of the material. The precession rate can give the magnetic field strength, and the field direction is given away after the muons decay into positrons that are detected. The information obtained from muSR can be complementary to that from other methods such as NMR, ESR, and neutron scattering. A low energy muon surface source is particularly interesting for studying thin films. To date, only four user facilities exist in the world but none in the US. We explore the possibility of using the AGS complex at BNL for a muSR facility for the production of positive surface muons.

For this irradiation tool, IRFU institute from CEA/Saclay is in charge of the design, construction and characterization of the Injector. The high intensity deuteron beam is produced by an ECR source located on a 100 kV platform. The 2 m long LEBT, based on 2 solenoids, is ended by a cone installed at the entrance of the RFQ. Specific diagnostics (cameras, Allison type emittance scanner, fiberscope) have been installed for the beam characterization. During the last weeks, after Injector conditioning, more than 100 mA of deuteron beams have been characterized after the RFQ entrance cone in pulsed and continuous mode*. The shipment of the Injector towards the Rokkasho site in Japan (where it will be reinstalled) is foreseen at the beginning of 2013. This paper will focus on the final design used during the beam characterization experiments at Saclay.

After nine-months of beam shutdown by the Great Earthquake in March 2011, the J-PARC facility resumed beam operation. In December 2011, operations were carried out at low duty such as single-shots or 1 to 2.5 Hz for beam tuning. At the beginning of January 2012, we started beam tuning at the full repetition rate of 25 Hz at the linac and the 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS). After the tuning, user programs of the Materials and Life Science Experiment Facility (MLF), the Neutrino facility and the Hadron facility started. The beam power was increased from 100 to 300 kW to the MLF users, from 3.3 kW to 6 kW to the Hadron users, and from 140 to 200 kW to the Neutrino users. The beam availability went lower to 73 % in JFY 2011 due to the trouble of the linac klystron power supply in March, but it has got back to 90-94 % as of November in JFY2012. We have also much upgrade work during the shutdown period or in parallel to the operation. We’ve demonstrated new record power beyond 500kW from the RCS. The status and progress of the J-PARC accelerators are presented.

The J-PARC rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) has been delivered 300kW beam to both the MLF and the MR with high reliability and small beam loss for user operation. To realize simultaneously two kinds of beam shape which are required from the MLF and the MR, two pulse dipole magnets for injection painting were installed in the beam transport line from the Linac to the RCS. It was successful to make two kinds of beam shape with injection painting bump magnets and these added pulse dipole magnets. This injection painting system is used for user operation and works well for reduction of beam losses. Not only user operation but also high power beam test was performed, and beam power of 524kW for 35 second was achieved with low beam loss in the RCS. Almost all beam loss was localized at the ring collimator and the loss rate was about 2% and this was acceptable because design value of the beam loss was 3%. This power corresponds to 1.8MW for 400MeV injection in terms of the Lasslett tune shift. In this high-intensity trial, significant progress toward design output beam power of 1 MW was demonstrated. The status and progress of the RCS in J-PARC are presented.

An optics in the SPS with lower integer tunes (20 versus 26) was proposed and introduced in machine studies since 2010, as a measure for increasing transverse and longitudinal instability thresholds, especially at low energy, for the LHC proton beams. After two years of machine studies and careful optimisation, the new “Q20” optics became operational in September 2012 and steadily delivered beam to the LHC until the end of the run. This paper reviews the operational performance of the Q20 optics with respect to transverse and longitudinal beam characteristics in the SPS, enabling high brightness beams injected into the LHC. Aspects of longitudinal beam stability, transmission, high-energy orbit control and beam transfer are discussed.
