	The power spectrum density, coherence and cross-spectrum density of the ground motion in the J-PARC site are studied to get the guideline of the beam control systems. J-PARC consists of a 600 MeV linac, a 3 GeV Rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS) and a 50 GeV synchrotron (MR). MR provides a beam current of 15 micro-A with a period of 3 sec to either the nuclear physics experimental area or the neutrino production target. MR is a very high beam power machine, so its optimum beam loss must be kept fewer than 0.01% of an accelerated beam in order to decrease the radiation damage of accelerator components and to get easy accessibilty to them. From the point of view of beam loss, we give some detailed discussion about the relation between the MR operation and the ground motion using the observed data.

	In the next generation accelerator, construction of the machine on the stable ground is preferable for accelerator beam operation. We have measured ground motion at the J-PARC site under construction, where the ground is very close to the Pacific Ocean. In this paper, some of the observed results are shown, comparing the results of the previous observation at some accelerator facilities and next generation accelerator candidate sites in Japan.
MOPCH176	A Comparison of Large Grain and Fine Grain Cavities Using Thermometry	superconductivity, cryogenics, superconducting-RF	475
	G.V. Eremeev, H. Padamsee Cornell University, Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics, Ithaca, New York
	An important limitation for SRF niobium cavities is the ”high field Q-slope.” To investigate this phenomenon we compare the behavior of large grain and fine grain cavities using thermometry. Thermometry allows us to distinguish between different problems which occur in cavities, and to distinguish between different areas showing high field Q-slope. We looked for the difference in heating between grain boundaries and inside grains. We have found interesting differences between the heating of high field slope regions and the heating of point-like defects.
MOPLS064	Measurement of Ground Motion in Various Sites	ground-motion, DESY, LHC, synchrotron	691
	W. Bialowons, R. Amirikas, A. Bertolini, D. Kruecker DESY, Hamburg
	This presentation will be an overview of a study program, initiated in DESY, to measure ground vibration of various sites which can be used for site characterization for the International Linear Collider (ILC) design. Commercial broadband seismometers have been used to measure ground motion, correlation and surface wave velocity. The database of measured ground vibrations is available to the scientific community. A parameterization of the spectra will also be presented.
TUPCH088	High Dynamic Range Beam Profile Measurements	CTF3, beam-losses, CLIC, injection	1217

	In future high intensity, high energy accelerators, beam loss has to be minimized to maximize performance and minimize activation of accelerator components. It is imperative to have a clear understanding of the mechanisms that can lead to halo formation and to have the possibility to test available theoretical models with an adequate experimental setup. Measurements based on optical transition radiation (OTR) provide an interesting opportunity for high resolution measurements of the transverse beam profile. In order to be applicable for measurements within the beam halo region, it is of utmost importance that a high dynamic range is covered by the image acquisition system. The existing camera system as it is installed in the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) is compared to a step-by-step measurement with a photo multiplier tube (PMT) and measurements with a cooled charge injection device (CID) camera. The latter acquisition technique provides an innovative and highly flexible approach to high dynamic range measurements and is presented in some detail.
TUPCH146	The Interactions of Surface Damage on RF Cavity Operation	electron, vacuum, RF-structure, controls	1361
	J. Norem, A. Hassanein, Z. Insepov ANL, Argonne, Illinois A. Bross, A. Moretti, Z. Qian Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois D. Li, M.S. Zisman LBNL, Berkeley, California R.A. Rimmer Jefferson Lab, Newport News, Virginia D.N. Seidman, K. Yoon NU, Evanston, Illinois Y. Torun IIT, Chicago, Illinois
	Studies of low frequency RF systems for muon cooling has led to a variety of new techniques for looking at dark currents, a new model of breakdown, and, ultimately, a model of RF cavity operation based on surface damage. We find that cavity behavior is strongly influenced by the spectrum of enhancement factors on field emission sites. Three different spectra are involved: one defining the initial state of the cavity, the second determined by the breakdown events, and the third defining the equilibrium produced as a cavity operates at its maximum field. We have been able to measure these functions and use them to derive a wide variety of cavity parameters: conditioning behavior, material, pulse length, temperature, vacuum, magnetic field, pressure, gas dependence. In addition we can calculate the dependence of breakdown rate on surface field and pulse length. This work correlates with data from Atom Probe Tomography. We will describe this model and new experimental data.
TUPLS051	Development of PEFP 20 MeV Proton Accelerator	proton, rfq, klystron, ion-source	1609

	A 20 MeV proton accelerator has been developed as a low energy part of PEFP (Proton Engineering Frontier Project) 100 MeV accelerator. The 20 MeV accelerator consists of ion source, LEBT (Low Energy Beam Transport), 3 MeV RFQ (Radiofrequency Quadrupole) and 20 MeV DTL (Drift Tube Linac). After the field tuning and high power RF conditioning of the accelerating cavities, the first beam test of the 20 MeV accelerator is underway. During the test, the pulsed proton beam was extracted from the ion source by pulsing the high voltage power supply. Two 1.1 MW, 350MHz RF systems were used to drive the 20 MeV accelerator. The current transformers between DTL tanks and Faraday cup at the end of 20 MeV DTL were used to measure the beam current. In this paper, the development of 20MeV accelerator are summarized and the first beam test results are discussed.
TUPLS135	Technical Infrastructure Monitoring at CERN	monitoring, CERN, controls, LHC	1822
	J. Stowisek, T.R. Riesco, A.S. Suwalska CERN, Geneva
	The Technical Infrastructure Monitoring system (TIM) is used to survey and control CERN's technical services from the CERN Control Centre (CCC). The system's primary function is to provide CCC operators with reliable real-time information about the state of the laboratory's extensive and widely distributed technical infrastructure. TIM is also used to monitor all general services required for the operation of the accelerator complex and the experiments. A flexible data acquisition mechanism allows TIM to interface with a wide range of technically diverse installations, using industry standard protocols wherever possible and custom designed solutions where needed. The complexity of the data processing logic, including persistence, logging, alarm handling, command execution and the evaluation of data-driven business rules is encapsulated in the system's business layer. Users benefit from a suite of advanced graphical applications adapted to operations (synoptic views, alarm consoles, data analysis tools etc.), system maintenance and support. Complementary tools for configuration data management and historical data analysis will be available before the start-up of the LHC in 2007.
WEPCH051	Isochronous Magneto-optical Structure of the Recirculator SALO	injection, quadrupole, dipole, recirculation	2035

	With the goal to provide low energy spread of electron beam, the magneto-optical structure of the recirculator SALO has been modified. All of its parts (an injection tract and arcs) were made isochronous and achromatic. Besides, with the purpose of the accelerating structure arrangement, the length of straight sections was enlarged. The amplitude and dispersion functions on various recirculator sections and design characteristics of the beam are submitted.

	In the framework of the CARE HHH European Network, we have developed a web-based dynamic accelerator-physics code repository. We describe the design, structure and contents of this web repository, illustrate its usage, and discuss our future plans.
WEPCH156	CERN Safety Alarms Monitoring System (CSAM)	CERN, monitoring, controls, LHC	2293
	E. Manola-Poggioli, L. Scibile CERN, Geneva
	The CERN Safety Alarms Monitoring (CSAM) system is designed to aquire and transmit reliably to the CERN Fire Brigade all the alarms generated by a large number of safety alarm equipment distributed around the sites and in the underground. The quality and accuracy of the information provided by CSAM is crucial to permit a quick and efficient intervention by the Fire Brigade. The CSAM projet was launched in 1999 to replace the previous alarm system which used obsolete technology and operator devices. The new system is in operation since 2005 and 2/3 of all alarm equipement on the CERN sites are now handled by the new system. The migration/installation process is is expected to terminate in May 2006. This paper presents the system architecture, the deployment process and the return of experience in the accelerator environment.
WEPLS010	20 - 50 GeV Muon Storage Rings for a Neutrino Factory	lattice, injection, sextupole, storage-ring	2415
	G. Rees CCLRC/RAL/ASTeC, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon C. Johnstone Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois F. Meot CEA, Gif-sur-Yvette
	Muon decay ring studies are being undertaken as part of the International Scoping Study (ISS) for a Neutrino Factory. A racetrack and an isosceles triangle shaped ring are under design, initially for a muon energy of 20 GeV, but with an upgrade potential for 50 GeV. Both rings are designed with long straights to optimize directional muon decay. The neutrinos from the muon decays pass to one or two distant detectors; the racetrack ring has one very long production straight, aligned with one detector, while the triangular ring has two straights, each half as long, which can be aligned with two detectors. Lattice studies, injection, collimation, and RF system design for the large acceptance, high intensity rings are discussed and the performance of the two rings compared.
WEPLS011	General Design Considerations for a High-intensity Muon Storage Ring for a Neutrino Factory	injection, storage-ring, proton, target	2418
	C. Johnstone Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois F. Meot CEA, Gif-sur-Yvette G. Rees CCLRC/RAL/ASTeC, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon
	Muon decay ring design, shielding, and compatibility with potential neutrino detector sites are a critical part of the International Scoping Study (ISS) for a neutrino factory. Two rings are under development: a racetrack and an isosceles-triangle ring initially for muon energy of 20 GeV, but upgradable to 50 GeV. Neutrinos from the muon decays in specially designed production straights can be directed to one or two distant detectors; the racetrack ring has one very long production straight, aligned with one detector, while the triangular ring has two straights, each half as long, aligned with two detectors. An initial site survey of accelerators and distant detectors has been made, along with the required tilt angles from the horizontal will be discussed here. (Lattice studies, injection, collimation, and RF system design are covered in a separate contribution to these proceedings.) Heating and activation effects of beam loss in the chamber walls and components will also be presented.
THPCH107	Upgrade of TRIUMF's 2C STF Control System	controls, cyclotron, target, isotope-production	3050
	M. Mouat, I.A. Aguilar, E. Klassen, K.S. Lee, J.J. Pon, T.M. Tateyama, P.J. Yogendran TRIUMF, Vancouver
	One of TRIUMF's isotope production facilities, the 2C Solid Target Facility (STF), is being upgraded. This installation is located on a primary beamline of TRIUMF's 500 MeV Cyclotron. As a part of this upgrade project, the STF Control System is also being revised. Changes to the STF are meant to enhance reliability and maintainability. The existing STF controls have run very reliably and have provided the required functionality but were implemented in part using different technology to that used for the majority of the cyclotron's Central Control System. The new hardware and software controls should provide a simpler, more easily maintained configuration. Additional goals are to modify the user interface to more closely resemble the interface used for running the 500 MeV Cyclotron, to enhance the event annunciation, and to increase the number of parameters logged.
THPCH125	Inter-laboratory Synchronization for the CNGS Project	CERN, SPS, extraction, controls	3092
	J. Serrano, P. Alvarez, J. Lewis CERN, Geneva D. Autiero IN2P3 IPNL, Villeurbanne
	CERN will start sending a neutrino beam to Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy in May 2006. This beam will cover a distance of around 730 km through the crust of the earth from an extraction line in CERN's SPS to dedicated detectors in Gran Sasso. This paper describes the technological choices made to fulfill the specification of inter-laboratory synchronization in the region of 100 ns, as well as some preliminary results. The common time standard is UTC as disseminated by the GPS system, and the techniques are similar to those used by national metrology laboratories for the manufacturing of UTC itself. In addition, real-time messages sent through the Internet allow the detectors in Gran Sasso to go into calibration mode when no beam is being sent. Data concerning the delay and determinism of this international network link is also presented.
THPCH184	Handling and Transport of Oversized Accelerator Components and Physics Detectors	CERN, LHC, monitoring, acceleration	3230
	S. Prodon, C. Bertone, M. Guinchard, P. Minginette CERN, Geneva
	For cost, planning and organisational reasons, it is often decided to install large pre-built accelerators components and physics detectors. As a result, on surface, exceptional transports are required from the construction to the installation sites. Such heavy transports have been numerous during the LHC installation phase. This paper will describe the different types of transport techniques used to fit the particularities of accelerators and detectors components (weight, height, acceleration, planarity) as well as the measurement techniques for monitoring and the logistical aspects (organisation with the police, obstacles on the roads, etc). As far as oversized equipment is concerned, the lowering into the pit is challenging, as well as the transport in tunnel galleries in a very scare space and without handling means attached to the structure like overhead travelling cranes. From the PS accelerator to the LHC, handling systems have been developed at CERN to fit with these particular working conditions. This paper will expose the operating conditions of the main transport equipments used at CERN in PS, SPS and LHC tunnels.
THPLS027	Vibration Measurement at Diamond and the Storage Ring Response	DIAMOND, storage-ring, ground-motion, synchrotron	3338
	H.C. Huang, J. Kay Diamond, Oxfordshire
	Controlling and minimising the sources and transmission of vibration in Synchrotron Light Sources is an important factor in achieving the stability needed to generate the very brightest beams. This paper describes the equipment that has been used at Diamond to measure vibration and reports the results of measurements taken on the accelerator floor and on the girder structures carrying the Storage Ring. A description is given of the intensively piled foundations and a comparison is made between the measured response and the modelled response. The contribution to vibration from water and ventilation services is also discussed.
THPLS074	Ground Vibration Measurement at NSRRC Site	storage-ring, background, emittance, simulation	3454
	D.-J. Wang, H.-P. Chang, J.-R. Chen, J.P. Wang, J. Wang NSRRC, Hsinchu
	For the future 3GeV TPS project in the NSRRC, ground vibration would be important for this low emittance machine. We have monitored the ground vibration under various experimental conditions at the NSRRC site. Sensors were installed in the bare site, underground 35 meters deep and ground of TLS storage ring, including an electricity shutdown in the NSRRC. From the collected data, we compare the effect about day and night, traffic effect, internal machine vibration propagation. Specific vibration sources and their propagations are also discussed.
FRYCPA01	ITER and International Scientific Collaboration	plasma, controls, vacuum, diagnostics	3641
	S. Chiocchio MPI/IPP, Garching
	The presentation will describe the status and perspectives of the ITER Project. It will also explore the possible connection between the accelerator and the fusion worlds. The talk will cover experience in the managerial and sociological aspects of the worldwide collaboration of which ITER is the end result, very similar to the issues facing the accelerator community, which also faces projects of similar scope from the point of view of time span, technical complexity and sociological impact.
