  Monitoring and subsequent optimization of linacs and beam transfers requires specific instrumentation for beam position data acquisition and processing. Compact single pass BPM is the newly developed prototype intended for position and charge monitoring in classical single-multi bunch operation linacs and transfer lines. Flexibility of the instrument enables the installation on electron and proton single pass machines. The motivation, processing principles and first results are presented.

  The accelerators of the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research are designed to deliver stable and rare isotope beams covering a huge range of intensities and beam energies. FAIR will employ heavy ion synchrotrons for highest intensities, anti-proton and rare isotope production stations, high resolution separators and several storage rings where beam cooling can be applied. Instrumentation Technologies will develop and deliver a beam diagnostic system for SIS100, HESR and CR rings. Furthermore the beam transfers will be equipped with the beam position diagnostics. The project is on schedule and the first instrument prototypes are already being under evaluation. This article discusses the new BPM electronics concept, the tests performed in the laboratory and the performance obtained.

This paper reports on the progress of the design and construction of a retro-fitted return yoke for the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE). MICE is a proof-of-principle experiment aiming to demonstrate ionization cooling experimentally. In earlier studies we outlined how a partial return yoke can be used to mitigate stray magnetic field in the experimental hall; we report on the progress of the construction of the partial return yoke for MICE Step IV. We also discuss an extension of the Partial Return Yoke for the final step of MICE; we show simulation results of the expected performance.

  The HIE ISOLDE project aims at increasing the energy of the radioactive ion beams of the existing REX ISOLDE facility from the present 3 MeV/u up to 10 MeV/u for A/q to 4.5. The upgrade includes the installation of a superconducting linac in successive phases, for a final layout containing two low-β and four high-β cryo-modules. The first phase involves the installation of two high-B cryo-modules, each housing five high- β superconducting cavities and one superconducting solenoid, aligned within tight tolerances. After having designed and procured the cryo-module components, the first units is now being assembled at CERN, in a dedicated facility including class100 (ISO5) clean rooms equipped with specific tooling. The assembly is foreseen to be ultimate and the cryo-module cold tested by May 2015. In this paper, after a brief description of the main design features of the cryo-module , we present the assembly of the first unit, including the methodology, special tools, assembly procedures and quality assurance aspects. We report on the experience from this first assembly, including tests results, and present prospects for the next-coming cryo-module assemblies.

  The construction of the utility system for the 3.0 GeV Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) was started in the end of 2009. The utility building for the TPS ring had been completed in the end of 2014. The final test and improvement had been completed in the end of 2014. The TPS is in commission and TLS is still in operation. Within limited manpower and budget, it is challenge to operate both utility systems stable and reliable. We provide good quality of electrical power, cooling water and precision air temperature. Power saving is also an important issue. The utility system presented in this paper includes the electrical power, cooling water, air conditioning, compressed air, and fire control systems.

Beryllium is extensively used in various accelerator beam lines and target facilities as material for beam windows, and to a lesser extent, as secondary particle production targets. With increasing beam intensities of future accelerator facilities, it is critical to understand the response of beryllium under extreme conditions to avoid compromising particle production efficiency by limiting beam parameters. As a result, the planned experiment at CERN’s HiRadMat facility will take advantage of the test facility’s tunable high intensity proton beam to probe and investigate the damage mechanisms of several grades of beryllium. The test matrix will consist of multiple arrays of thin discs of varying thicknesses as well as cylinders, each exposed to increasing beam intensities. Online instrumentations will acquire real time temperature, strain, and vibration data of the cylinders, while Post-Irradiation-Examination (PIE) of the discs will exploit advanced microstructural characterization and imaging techniques to analyze grain structures, crack morphology and surface evolution. Details on the experimental design, online measurements and planned PIE efforts are described in this paper.

  A first electropolished 201-MHz RF cavity for the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) has been assembled inside a special vacuum vessel and installed at the Fermilab's MuCool Test Area (MTA). The cavity and the MTA hall have been equipped with numerous instrumentation to characterize cavity operation. The cavity has been commissioned to run at 14 MV/m gradient with no external magnetic field; it is also being commissioned in presence of fringe field of a multi-Tesla superconducting solenoid magnet, the condition in which cavity modules will be operated in the MICE cooling channel. The assembly, installation and operation of the Single-Cavity Module gave valuable experience for operation of full-size modules at MICE.
