  Beam particles are characterized by their coordinates in real spaces or phase spaces that are at least two-dimensional. It is often necessary to reconstruct such a 2D-distribution from the knowledge of only its projections on some axes, either for making use of tomography measurement results or for setting up an input beam for transport simulations. In this article, the use of the MENT (Maximum Entropy) reconstruction method is reported for the IFMIF accelerators where high intensity beam distributions are far from Gaussian ones.

Dark current emitted from the surface of high-field RF cavities can contribute to radiation levels and cryo budget and can cause damage to sensitive accelerator components such as the photocathode. The superconducting niobium cavities in the booster module of BERLinPro will have surface fields strong enough to produce significant dark current from field emission, so simulations were made using Astra to track the propagation of emitted electrons from the surfaces of the cavities to examine the effects of dark current in the BERLinPro injector. Results of these simulations, including optimization of the layout to reduce propagation of electrons to the cathode and an estimation of power from dark current deposited throughout the injector, are presented.

  The design of many Low-Energy Beam Transport sections relies on the presence of space-charge compensation by particles of opposing charge. To improve understanding of the processes involved in the built-up and steady-state, simulations using the Particle-in-Cell code bender were made. We will present the influence of various system parameters on the results. Furthermore, the electron velocity distribution was found to be approximately thermal. The spatial distribution can then be found by solving the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Such a model for the electron distribution was implemented in a 2D PIC code and applied to typical beam transport situations. We will present results in comparison to the 3D simulations.

  J-PARC is intensity-upgraded up to pulse current of 50 mA of H beam. Two-solenoid based LEBT test stand is being built to support the operation of J-PARC linac. It imitates the actual LEBT of linac, yet contains the diagnostics chamber composed of horizontal and vertical beam emittance-meters and Faraday-cup for the current measurement. Vacuum composition of LEBT is predominantly H2 gas. The pressure inside the LEBT can be varied by the differential pumps allowing us to study the beam phase space evolution under space charge effects. The measurements of the beam phase space emittance were made as a function of the residual gas pressure. This paper presents the results and discussion on beam space charge neutralization and its effect on the beam phase space emittance.

  In high-intensity particle accelerators, due to the fact that preventing beam loss plays a crucial role in con-ducting any experiments, it is important to measure and control the beam halo. Fortunately, it is feasible nowadays to measure the beam halo region thanks to the development of several sensitive beam scanning methods, including the vibrating wire technique. Since the vibrating wire is exceptionally sensitive to the heat deposition by the beam particles, it can be used to scanning the beam profile. This study will be concentrated on the precise beam profile measurement using the vibrating wire at the Korea Multi-Purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) facility. First, we describe the best condition to construct beam profile measurement experiment. Finally, we present the results of the beam halo measurements performed with 20 MeV proton beam at the KOMAC facility

MOPOR038 Implications of Resonantly Driven Higher Order Modes on the ESS Beam 683

  The European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, will be a facility for fundamental physics studies of atomic structure using a spallation source of unparalleled brightness. To achieve this end, a 2.86 ms long pulsed proton beam will be accelerated up to a final energy of 2 GeV using three suites of superconducting cavities. If a Higher Order Mode (HOM) lies on a harmonic of the bunch frequency the HOM will be resonantly driven. This will dilute the beam quality significantly. Errors in fabricating these cavities are inevitable, and this sets a tolerance on how close the HOM can be within a harmonic of the bunch frequency. The baseline design for ESS requires HOMs to be at least 5 MHz from a machine line. Here we provide details of several finite element electromagnetic simulations on the HOMS anticipated in these ESS cavities. We analyse their impact on the beam emittance using a drift-kick-drift model with the potential for relaxed tolerances.

MOPOR042 Beam Dynamics Modeling of Drift-tube Linacs with CST Particle Studio 689

  The CST Studio provides convenient tools for self-consistent 3D modeling of accelerators, even large ones. Here we demonstrate this approach for the LANSCE drift-tube linac (DTL) taken as an example. The RF fields in 3D models of full DTL tanks are calculated and tuned with MicroWave Studio (MWS). Beam dynamics in the DTL is modeled with Particle Studio for bunches and bunch trains with realistic initial beam distributions using the MWS-calculated RF fields and quadrupole magnetic fields. The output beam parameters and locations of particle losses are calculated and compared for different beam distributions. Our main emphasis is on the formation of low-energy tails (longitudinal halo) and their interaction with regular bunches. Such effects are usually not taken into account in standard multi-particle phase-space codes.

  Wire Scanners (WS) are used to measure beam profile and calculate the transverse Twiss parameters at the entrance of MEBT1 in the CADS injector I test stand. As to data process, the traditional method with transfer map doesn't consider the space charge effect. But, as we know, space charge effect can't be neglected for high intensity accelerators. In this paper, optimization algorithm is used in beam emittance measurement.

  For very high intensity linacs, both beam power and space charge should be taken into consideration for any analysis of accelerators aiming at comparing their performances and pointing out the challenging sections. As high beam power is an issue from the lowest energy, careful and exhaustive beam loss predictions have to be done. High space charge implies lattice compactness making the implementation of beam diagnostics very problematic, so a clear strategy for beam diagnostic has to be defined. Beam halo becomes no longer negligible, and it plays a significant role in the particle loss process. Therefore, beam optimization must take the halo into account and beam characterization must be able to describe the halo part in addition to the core one. This presentation discusses advanced concepts and methods for beam analysis, beam loss prediction, beam optimization, beam diagnostic and beam characterization especially dedicated to very high intensity accelerators.

THOBA02 Space Charge Induced Collective Modes and Beam Halo in Periodic Channels 3165

The collective mode instabilities of periodically focused high intensity beams based on the Vlasov-Poisson equation are investigated both analytically and numerically. It is found that the broadened collective stop bands resulting from space charge induced structure resonance in long periodic channels predict well the areas where the rms emittance growth accompanied with n-fold phase space structure (beam halo) would take place. We believe that the formed beam halo, which is depicted in action-angle frame, could be understood as a side-effect of the collective beam mode.
