| MOOCB02 | A Lattice Correction Approach through Betatron Phase Advance | 62 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy Most lattice correction algorithms, such as LOCO, rely on the amplitude of the BPM signals. However, these signals are a mixture of the BPM gain and beta-beat. Even though BPM gain can be fitted by analyzing the statistics of all the BPMs in a ring accelerator, we found the uncertainty is on the order of a few percent. On the other hand, the betatron phase advance, which is obtained from the correlation of two adjacent BPMs, is independent of the BPM gain and tilt error. It was found at NSLS-II that the measurement precision of the phase advance is typically 0.001 radian, which corresponds to about 0.2% of beta beat. The phase error can be corrected similarly using a response matrix, and at NSLS-II the phase error can be corrected to <0.005 radian (p-p) in less than half an hour. The same technique can be applied to the nonlinear lattice. By comparing the phase advance differences between the on- and off- orbit lattices, the sextupole strength error can be identified. Simulation and experimental results will be demonstrated in the paper. |

| MOPMB002 | First Measurements of Coherent Smith-Purcell Radiation in the SOLEIL Linac | 69 |
|
||
|
Funding: The authors are grateful for the funding received from the French ANR (contract ANR-12-JS05-0003-01). An experiment to measure the Coherent Smith-Purcell radiation has been installed in the SOLEIL Linac. Its aim is to produce a map of Smith-Purcell radiation emissions in several planes and compare it with theoretical predictions. Coherent Smith Purcell radiation is produced when a grating is brought close from a sufficiently short charged particles beam. The experiment consist of two detectors with 5 degrees of freedom. These two detectors can be moved around the emission point to measure the intensity of the radiation at different locations. Radiation maps are recorded parasitically by moving the detectors around during normal linac operations. |

| MOPMB003 | Comparison of Coherent Smith-Purcell Radiation and Coherent Transition Radiation | 72 |
|
||
|
Funding: The authors are grateful for the funding received from the French ANR (contract ANR-12-JS05-0003-01) and the IDEATE International Associated Laboratory (LIA) between France and Ukraine. Smith-Purcell radiation and Transition Radiation are two radiative phenomenon that occur in charged particles accelerators. For both the emission can be significantly enhanced with sufficiently short pulses and both can be used to measure the form factor of the pulse. We compare the yield of these phenomenon in different configurations and look at their application as bunch length monitors, including background filtering and rejection. We apply these calculations to the specific case of the CLIO Free Electron laser. |

|
||
|
Funding: The authors are grateful for the funding received from the French ANR (contract ANR-12-JS05-0003-01) and the IDEATE International Associated Laboratory (LIA) France-Ukraine. Smith-Purcell radiation is used in several applications including the measurement of the longitudinal profile of electron bunches. A correct reconstruction of such profile requires a good understanding of the underlying model. We have compared the leading models of Smith-Purcell radiation and shown that they are in agreement within the experimental errors. |

| MOPMB006 | First Tests of SuperKEKB Luminosity Monitors during 2016 Single Beam Commissioning | 81 |
| SUPSS067 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
| The SuperKEKB e+e− collider aims to reach a very high luminosity of 8 1035 cm-2s−1, using highly focused ultra-low emittance bunches colliding every 4ns. Fast luminosity monitoring is required for luminosity feedback and optimisation in presence of dynamic imperfections. The aimed relative precision is about 10-3 in 1ms, which can be in principle achieved thanks to the very large cross-section of the radiative Bhabha process at zero degree scattering angle. Diamond, Cherenkov and scintillator sensors are to be placed just outside the beam pipe, downstream of the interaction point in both rings, at locations with event rates consistent with the aimed precision and small enough backgrounds from single-beam particle losses. The initial configuration installed for the 2016 "phase 1" single beam commissioning will be described, including the sensors, mechanical setup, readout electronics and first stage DAQ. Preliminary measurements and analysis of beam gas Bremsstrahlung loss data collected with the luminosity monitors will be reported and compared with a detailed simulation, for several experimental conditions during the SuperKEKB commissioning. | ||

| MOPMB007 | Diamond Sensor Resolution in Simultaneous Detection of 1,2,3 Electrons at the PHIL Photoinjector Facility at LAL | 84 |
|
||
| In this paper, we present experimental and numerical studies of the signals from the Poisson-like distributions resulting from electrons incident on a diamond sensor placed near the exit of the PHIL photoinjector facility at LAL. The experiments were performed at the newly commissioned Low Energy Electron TECHnology (LEETECH) platform at PHIL. Bunches of 10x9 electrons are first generated and accelerated to 3.5 MeV by PHIL. The electrons are then filtered in LEETECH by a system of collimators, using a dipole magnet for momentum selection. The diamond sensor is located immediately after the output collimator to collect electrons in the range 2.5-3 MeV. We show that with standard scCVD diamonds of 500 micrometers thickness, the energy losses from the first three MIP (minimum ionizing particle) electrons are clearly resolved. We did not observe distinguishable peaks in cases when a significant fraction of the incident electrons had energies below a MIP. The described technique can be used as complementary approach for calibration of diamond detectors as well as to diagnose and help control accelerated beams in a regime down to a few particles. | ||

| The Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2) at KEK is a prototype of the final focus system for the next generation of Future Linear Colliders(FCL). It aims to focus the beams to tens of nanometer transverse sizes and to provide stability at the few nm level. Achieving these goals requires modelling, measuring and suppressing of the transverse beam halo before the interaction point (IP). This paper presents a beam tail/halo generator based on realistic model and the investigation of vertical and horizontal beam tail/halo distribution at ATF2. | ||

| MOPMB009 | Electron Beam Probe for the Bunch Length Measurements at BERLinPro | 92 |
|
||
| For the successful operation of various accelerator facilities a detailed bunch characterization is required. A complete description can be achieved using various diagnostic systems installed along an accelerator beamline. Ideally the diagnostic should be able to measure parameters of a single bunch in a non-destructive manner. For bunch length measurements this results in a complicated task especially for bunch duration below 1 ps. One of the possible solutions is a diagnostic based on the interaction of a low energy electron beam with electro-magnetic fields of the relativistic bunch. The bunch length can be readily deduced from the resulting scatter. In this paper bunch length measurement technique based on a low energy electron beam is introduced. Results of numerical simulations of measurements are presented. A possible setup of such diagnostic system for BERLinPro facility is proposed. | ||

| MOPMB010 | Compton Polarimetry at ELSA - Beamline and Detector Optimization | 95 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by DFG within CRC TRR16 The Electron Stretcher Facility ELSA provides a polarized electron beam with energies of 0.5 - 3.2 GeV for double polarization hadron physics experiments. Monitoring the vertical electron polarization by Compton polarimetry in the stretcher ring has several advantages over the established polarization measurement by Moeller polarimetry. The Compton polarimeter setup presented consists of a 40 W cw disk laser featuring two polarized photon beams colliding head-on with the stored electron beam in ELSA. A silicon strip detector measures the vertical intensity profile of the backscattered photons. The reversal of handedness of the laser beam's circular polarization results in a polarization dependent vertical shift of this profile. From a calibration using time dependent polarization build-up due to the Sokolov-Ternov effect, the polarization degree of the electron beam can be extracted. After recent laser repairs as well as beamline and detector modifications, first measurement attempts of the electron's polarization degree were conducted. The performance of the beamline and first measurements are presented. |

| MOPMB011 | ROSE, Measuring the Full 4D Transverse Beam Matrix of Ion Beams | 98 |
|
||
| A ROtating System for Emittance measurements ROSE, to measure the full 4 dimensional transverse beam matrix of an ion beam has been developed and commissioned. Different ion beams behind the HLI at GSI have been used in two commissioning beam times. All technical aspects of ROSE have been tested, ROSE has been benchmarked against existing emittance scanners for horizontal and vertical projections, and the method, hard-, and software to measure the 4D beam matrix has been upgraded, refined, and successfully commissioned. The inter plane correlations of the HLI beam have been measured, yet as no significant initial correlations were found to be present, controlled coupling of the beam by using a skew triplet has been applied and confirmed with ROSE. The next step is to use ROSE to measure and remove the known inter plane correlations of a uranium beam before SIS18 injection. | ||

| MOPMB012 | A High-Energy-Scrapersystem for the S-DALINAC Extraction - Design and Installation | 101 |
|
||
|
Funding: *Funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft under grant No. SFB 634 The superconducting Darmstadt linear electron accelerator (S-DALINAC) of the Institute for Nuclear Physics at Technische Universität Darmstadt delivers electron beams in cw-mode with energies up to 130 MeV. The accelerator consists of a 10-MeV injector and a 30-MeV main linac where superconducting 3-GHz microwave cavities are operated at a temperature of 2 K for beam acceleration. With three recirculation beamlines the main linac can be used up to four times. To improve the energy spread and the energy stability of the beam a new scrapersystem has been developed and installed. It changes the extraction beam line into a dispersion-conserving chicane consisting of four dipole magnets and three scrapers. The system includes scraping of x- and y-halo in two positions as well as improving and stabilizing energy spread on a dispersive part. We will present the design of the system and report on its installation into the accelerator complex. |

| MOPMB013 | Time-resolved Spectral Observation of Coherent THz Pulses at DELTA | 105 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by the BMBF (05K13PEC), the DFG (INST 212/236-1) and the state of NRW. Coherent THz pulses induced by a laser-electron interac- tion are routinely produced and observed at DELTA, a 1.5- GeV synchrotron light source operated by the TU Dortmund University. At a dedicated THz beamline, measurements using a Fourier-transform spectrometer have been performed between 1 THz and 7 THz. Recently, an ultrafast Schottky- diode detector and a novel polarizing Fourier-transform spec- trometer were installed, which enable turn-by-turn-resolved spectral measurements in the frequency range below 1 THz. The commissioning results of the new spectrometer and simulations are presented. |

| MOPMB014 | Simultaneous Detection of Longitudinal and Transverse Bunch Signals at ANKA | 109 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work has been supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract number VH-NG-320 and by the BMBF under contract number 05K13VKA. The ANKA storage ring offers different operation modes including the short-bunch mode with bunch lengths tuned down to a few picoseconds. This can lead to the occurrence of micro-bunching instabilities coupled to the emission of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in so-called 'bursts'. To study this CSR instability we use several turn-by-turn enabled detector systems to synchronously measure both the THz signal as well as bunch profiles. The different detectors are placed at different locations around the storage ring. Here we discuss the experimental setup and calibration of the various systems' synchronisation. |

| MOPMB015 | Technical Design Considerations About the SINBAD-ARES Linac | 112 |
|
||
| The SINBAD facility (Short and INnovative Bunches and Accelerators at Desy) is foreseen to host various experiments in the field of production of ultra-short electron bunches and novel high gradient acceleration technique. The SINBAD linac, also called ARES (Accelerator Research experiment at SINBAD), will be a conventional S-band linear RF accelerator allowing the production of low charge (0.5 pC - few pC) ultra-short electron bunches (FWHM, length <= 1 fs - few fs) having 100 MeV energy. In this paper we present the current status of the technical design considerations, motivate the foreseen diagnostics for the RF gun commissioning and present examples of foreseen applications. | ||

| MOPMB016 | Single-Shot Spectral Analysis of Synchrotron Radiation in THz Regime at ANKA | 115 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work was supported by BMBF contract number 05K13VK4 and the Ministry of Education and Sci- ence of the Russian Federation (State Assignment Contract No. 3002). Micro-bunching instabilities limit the longitudinal compression of bunches in an electron storage ring. They create substructures on the bunch profile of some hundred micrometer size leading to coherently emitted synchrotron radiation in the THz range. To detect the changing THz spectrum, single-shot bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn measurements are necessary. We present recent experiments at ANKA where the spectral information is extracted by simultaneous detection with several narrowband THz detectors, each of them sensitive in a different frequency range. |

| MOPMB017 | Design Issues for the Optical Transition Radiation Screens for theELI-NP Compton Gamma Source | 118 |
|
||
| A high brightness electron LINAC is being built in the Compton Gamma Source at the ELI Nuclear Physics facility in Romania. To achieve the design luminosity, a train of 32, 16 ns spaced, bunches with a nominal charge of 250 pC will collide with the laser beam in the interaction point. Electron beam spot size is measured with optical transition radiation profile monitors. In order to measure the beam properties along the train, the screens must sustain the thermal stress due to the energy deposited by the bunches; moreover the optical radiation detecting system must have the necessary accuracy and resolution. This paper deals with the analytical studies as well as numerical simulations to investigate the thermal behaviour of the screens impinged by the nominal bunch; the design and the performance of the optical detection line is discussed as well. | ||

| MOPMB018 | Metrological Characterization of the Bunch Length Measurement by Means of a RF Deflector at the ELI-NP Compton Gamma source | 122 |
|
||
| Bunch length measurement in linac can be carried out using a RF deflector, which provides a transverse kick to the beam. The transverse beam size on a screen, placed after the RF deflector, represents the bunch length. In this paper, the metrological characterization of the bunch length measurement technique is proposed. The uncertainty and the systematic errors are estimated by means of a sensitivity analysis to the measurement parameters. The proposed approach has been validated through simulation by means of ELEGANT code on the parameters interesting for the electron linac of the Compton source at the Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP). | ||

| MOPMB019 | Quadrupole Scan Emittance Measurements for the ELI-NP Compton Gamma Source | 126 |
|
||
| The high brightness electron LINAC of the Compton Gamma Source at the ELI Nuclear Physics facility in Romania is accelerating a train of 32 bunches with a nominal charge of 250 pC and nominal spacing of 16 ns. To achieve the design gamma flux, all the bunches along the train must have the designed Twiss parameters. Beam sizes are measured with optical transition radiation monitors, allowing a quadrupole scan for Twiss parameters measurements. Since focusing the whole bunch train on the screen may lead to permanent screen damage, we investigated non-conventional scans such as scans around a maximum of the beam size or scans with a controlled minimum spot size. This paper discusses the implementation issues of such a technique in the actual machine layout. | ||

| MOPMB020 | Transverse Intensity Distribution Measurement of Ion Beams Using Gafchromic Films | 130 |
|
||
| A possible method of measuring the transverse spatial distribution of energetic ion beams is developed at Takasaki Advanced Radiation Research Institute, National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology (formerly, Japan Atomic Energy Agency). For this purpose, a radiochromic film, Gafchromic film (Ashland Inc.), is employed since it enables us to easily measure a large-area irradiation field distribution at a high spatial resolution. Gafchromic EBT3 and HD-V2 films are irradiated with ion beams of various species and kinetic energies extracted from a cyclotron and electrostatic accelerators at QST/Takasaki. Then, the coloration response of the films is analyzed in terms of the optical density. It is demonstrated that EBT3 and HD-V2 films are useful for the beam profile measurement at low fluence and at low energy, respectively. | ||

| MOPMB024 | Electron Cloud Measurements at J-PARC Main Ring | 137 |
|
||
| Electron cloud instability is presented in most of the high intensity proton rings. During the Slow beam extraction (SX) mode at Main Ring of J-PARC, signals related with its formation were observed. An electron cloud detector is installed downstream of the ElectroStatic Septum (ESS), to measure the electron signal. Additionally, scintillation detector with photomultiplier, a proportional counter and photo-diode were set closely to the electron cloud detector to observe the beam lost. This paper presents the measurements of the electron cloud and some of the conditions which support its creation, for instance the signal of lost particle from the beam loss monitors, the residual gas in the vacuum duct by using vacuum pressure gauges, etc. | ||

| MOPMB025 | The Development of 16-Electrode Monitor for Measurement of the Multipole-Moment | 140 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work was supported by MEXT KAKENHI Grant Number 25105002, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas titled 'Unification and Development of the Neutrino Science Frontier' In the J-PARC main ring, the beam intensity is greatly increased to 750 kW or more in near future. Even the beam intensity become higher, the beam loss must be kept at the same level as present. Aiming to make the cause of beam loss clear, we have been developing the beam monitor to measure the beam size. The quadrupole moment is related to the beam size. In principle, monitors with more than four electrodes can measure the quadrupole moment. In addition, two monitors located at the places with different beta functions can measure the emittances and beam sizes, providing the horizontal and vertical beta functions. To obtain more precise quadrupole moment and higher multipoles, we are developing the multi-electrode monitor, tentatively, with 16 electrodes. As a reference of 16-electrode monitor, two 4-electrode BPMs are investigated to measure quadrupole moments. We will present the measurement result of 4-electrode monitors and the status of the development of the 32-electrode monitor. |

| MOPMB026 | Frequency and Time Domain Measurement of Coherent Transition Radiation | 143 |
|
||
|
Ultrashort electron beams are essential for light sources and time-resolved measurements. Electron beams can emit terahertz (THz) pulses using coherent transition radiation (CTR). Michelson interferometer is one of can-didates for analyzing the pulse width of an electron beam based on frequency-domain analysis. Recently, electron beam measurement using a photoconductive antenna (PCA) based on time-domain analysis has been investi-gated. In this paper, to improve beam diagnostics of ul-trashort electron beam, investigation of characteristics of a PCA for generation and frequency and time-domain measurement of THz pulses was conducted.

| Ultrashort electron bunches have been applied in many scientific fields including accelerator physics and radiation chemistry. Pulse radiolysis is application in radiation chemistry, which is a pump-probe measurement using an electron bunch and a laser pulse. Our laboratory aims to generate the electron bunches with durations of less-than femtoseconds using an S-band linear accelerator (linac) at Osaka University in order to improve the time resolution of the pulse radiolysis system. Recently, the linac system was relocated for expanding application using ultrashort electron bunches. The parameters of generated electron bunches including the bunch lengths will be reported. | ||

| MOPMB028 | Development of Beam Diagnostic System for the SPring-8 Upgrade | 149 |
|
||
| The goal of the beam diagnostic system for the SPring-8 upgrade is to deliver brilliant X-rays enabled by the new low-emittance ring to experimental stations with ultimate stability. Developments of accurate electron and photon beam position monitors (EBPM and XBPM, respectively) with both short and long-term stability are the most critical. The EBPM sensitivity is also crucial for low-current beam commissioning to accomplish the first beam storage in the ring. We designed a button electrode to obtain sufficiently high-intensity signals while suppressing high-Q trapped modes leading to impedance and heating issues. We also designed a precise EBPM block and a rigid support to achieve mechanical accuracy and stability. Another challenge is the development of a reliable and stable XBPM, which should be an accurate reference for an orbit feedback without any photon-energy dependences. A significant improvement of a blade-type XBPM or an invention of a novel XBPM detecting the core of an intense X-ray beam are necessary. The other diagnostic instrumentations can be utilized for the new ring with minor improvements. | ||

| MOPMB029 | Development Status of Linear Focal Cherenkov Ring Camera | 152 |
|
||
| Linear focal Cherenkov ring camera (LFC-Camera) has been developed for single shot measurement of longitudinal phase space distribution of quasi-relativistic electron beam, where the electron's velocity still depends on its energy. The LFC-camera employs velocity dependence of opening angle of Cherenkov light produced by electron beam to observe its energy (momentum) distribution. Since the Cherenkov light contains the time information if the radiator medium is thin enough, we can get the longitudinal phase space distribution measuring both time and energy spectra simultaneously using a streak camera. We employ a thin silica aerogel with water-free hydrophobic treatment as Cherenkov radiator. We have evaluated characteristics of the silica aerogel radiator, and demonstration of the LFC-camera at a beam diagnosis section of t-ATCS is being proceeded. | ||

| MOPMB030 | Development of an EO Sampling Method for THz Pulse Detection | 155 |
|
||
| We have been studying an S-band Cs-Te photo-cathode rf gun at Waseda Univ. The high quality electron beam produced by the rf gun is used to generate a high-power coherent terahertz pulse via Cherenkov radiation. This terahertz pulse can be applied to terahertz imaging and material analysis. As a preliminary step towards material analysis, we conducted experiments on terahertz time domain spectroscopy by EO sampling method to reveal major parameters of the terahertz pulse such as the pulse form and the spectrum. EO sampling method has high frequency response and suitable for high peak power terahertz pulses. In terahertz time domain spectroscopy, the duration of the probe pulse needs to be much faster than that of the terahertz pulse. Therefore, we developed a mode locked Yb-fiber laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation as a reliable and cost-effective ultra-fast probe light source. The laser generates 3.80 ps chirped pulses which are compressed to 213 fs with a grating pair. In this conference, we will report the performance of the Yb-fiber laser and results of EO sampling experiments. | ||

| MOPMB032 | A New Fault Recovery Mechanism for Superconducting Cavity Failure in C-ADS | 158 |
|
||
| For proton linear accelerators used in applications such as C-ADS, due to the nature of the operation, it is essential to have beam failures at the rate several orders of magnitude lower than usual performance of similar accelerators. A fault-tolerant mechanism should be mandatorily imposed in order to maintain short recovery time, high uptime and extremely low frequency of beam loss. This paper proposes an innovative and challenging way for compensation and rematch of cavity failure using fast electronic devices and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) instead of embedded computers to complete the computation of beam dynamics. Due to the high arithmetic-computing-speed, good portability and repeatability, it is possible to realize calculation and re-adjustment online. In order to achieve the goal of instantaneous compensation and rematch, an advanced hardware design methodology including high-level synthesis and an improved genetic algorithm will be used. | ||

| MOPMB033 | The Influence of Strip-line BPMs' Measuring Results Made by Edge of the Ultra-relativistic Electron Beam | 161 |
|
||
| This paper describes the impact on the measuring results of the stripline beam position monitor (BPM) produced by the edge of the ultra-relativistic electron beam when we take the transverse size of the beam into account. Simulations have been made by using the Wakefield Solver of CST Particle Studio. And the result of this influence at different ratio of beam horizontal width σ and the BPM inner diameter a has been obtained. This kind of influence has been observed in the stripline BPMs in the transfer line of Beijing Positron Electron Colliders upgraded version II (BEPCII). The research is useful when we design the inner diameter of the stripline BPMs for ultra-relativistic electron beam, meanwhile it provides reference to distinguish the invalid ones from the measuring results obtained by the stripline BPMs in the ultra-relativistic situation. | ||

| MOPMB034 | Design and Application of Double-slit Emittance Meter for C-ADS Proton Beams | 164 |
|

| To reduce the beam loss in the high current linac, beam transverse emittance is a key value which has to be characterized. At Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing the C-ADS project has started beam commissioning. A newly developed double-slit emittance meter (DEM) for pulsed proton beam from the (RFQ) has been installed in the beam line. In this paper principal of operation, instrumentation and programming of emittance meter are discussed. The emittance measurement has been carried out with the newly developed DEM at a beam energy of 3.2 MeV and a beam current of 10 mA. Typical rms emittance for x and y direction are measured to be 0.1303 and 0.1347 π mm mrad,which are well below the design standard of the RFQ. | ||

| MOPMB036 | Beam Profile Measurement Using Kirkpatrick Baez Mirror Optics at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility | 167 |
|
||
| For the third-generation light sources, the vertical emit-tance of a few pico-meter-radians which can be achieved with good coupling correction close to 0.1%, will lead to very small beam size. Several microns vertical beam sizes measurement has presented challenges for diagnostic capability in this region. A few techniques have been developed to make a precise measurement, such as visible light interferometer, x-ray imaging using Fresnel zone plates, compound refractive lenses or pinhole camera. In this paper, an x-ray reflective optics method based on the Kirkpatrick'Baez mirrors will be emphasis on discussed. The K-B mirror system will be installed and tested in SSRF to obtain the vertical beam size close to 20 microns, which is expected to be used for several microns vertical beam size measurement in the future light source named HEPS (High Energy Photon Source) in China. | ||

| Dielectric based collinear wakefield accelerator have been broadly selected for the THz accelerator due to its simplicity. In order to move the THz accelerators from the current exploratory research into the practical phase, certain common accelerator components are indispensable. Beam Position Monitor (BPM) is one of them. However, most of conventional BPM techniques are hardly scaled down to THz regime. Here we propose a BPM design which uses the dominant dipole mode excited in the dielectric wakefield accelerators to extract information of the beam position. | ||

| MOPMB038 | Development of Shoebox BPM for Xi‘an Proton Application Facility | 175 |
|
||
| In this paper, development of the Shoebox BPM is presented which can be applied for the measurement of turn-by-turn position data, closed orbit and tune of Xi'an Proton Application Facility (XiPAF). The preliminary design of the physical dimensions including the electrode aperture, the pipe aperture and the gap between the two electrodes is performed by calculating their effects on BPM response respectively with the equivalent circuit model. Furthermore, the mechanical structure of the Shoebox BPM is optimized by CST simulation to achieve better performance. The dependency of the BPM sensitivity and zero offset on the frequency is diminished by adding one isolating ring, which decreases coupling capacitance of electrodes and compensates ground capacitance difference of the two electrodes. Finally one prototype of the Shoebox BPM has been fabricated and tested offline. Results show that relative position measurement error due to frequency dependency of sensitivity is less than 1% and absolute measurement error due to frequency dependency of zero offset is expected to be less than 0.1 mm. | ||

Funding: Supported by the National Science Foundation of China (11575181, 11175173) Electron bunch length measurement is of great significance for optimizing IRFEL performance. An optical autocorrelation system using coherent transition radiation (CTR) would be set up to measure the electron bunch length at the IRFEL. CTR can be occurred when short electron bunches traverse a vacuum-metal interface. A Martin-Puplett interferometer allowed measurement of the autocorrelation of the CTR signal. The basic principle and the main components of Martin-Puplett interferometer are elaborated in this paper. |

| MOPMB040 | Design of the Beam Diagnostics System for a New IR-FEL Facility at NSRL | 181 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (21327901, 11105141, 11575181) A new IR-FEL has been commissioned at NSRL. This facility provides a final electron energy from 20 to 70 MeV, beam bunch with a macro-pulse length of 5~10 μs and a general micro-pulse repetition rate of 238 MHz, pulsed radiation with up to 100 mJ at about 0.3%~3% FWHM bandwidth. So a diagnostics system is necessary to monitor the performance of the bunch and the character of the FEL radiation, such as the beam position and profile, emittance, energy spread, laser intensity, etc. The beam diagnostics system mainly consists of Flags, a diagnostics beam line, BPMs, pop-in monitors and a FEL monitor system. This paper introduces the construction of this diagnostics system. Corresponding author: ylyang@ustc.edu.cn |

| MOPMB041 | Modified Trigger Mode of Streak Camera to Measure Bunch Longitudinal Distribution in HLS II | 184 |
|
||
|
Funding: Supported by the National Science Foundation of China (11575181, 11175173) In Hefei Light Source, the streak camera was used to measure the bunch length and longitudinal distribution using synchronous light. As the RF frequency of HLS II was 204MHz, the streak camera worked at the frequency of 102MHz (half of 204MHz). Because of the bunch lengthening, the streak camera faced the problem, the streak image on the phosphor screen will overlap when the bunch length was above 200.5ps@5% linear error and 10% overlap. In order to solve this problem, an effective solution was to change the working frequency of the streak camera to 136MHz (two thirds of 204MHz), and then the streak image on the phosphor screen will overlap when the bunch length was above 285.6ps@5% linear error and 10% overlap. So a front-end electronic was needed before the synchronizing signals feed into the streak camera. The front-end electronic was designed to convert the 204MHz synchronizing signal to 136MHz. |

Funding: * Supported by the National Science Foundation of China (11575181, 11175173) A new button-type beam position monitor(BPM) was designed for the IR-FEL project. Firstly, the longitudinal size of BPM needs to be short enough to save space because the entire machine of IR-FEL is very compact. And in the matter of installation problem, all four electrodes are deviated 30 degrees from the horizontal axis. Then, according to these two limited conditions and beam parameters, we builded up a simple model and did some simulated calculations to ensure a good performance of position resolution, which should be better than 50μm. The simulations include an estimation of induced signals in both time and frequency domains, horizontal and vertical sensitivities, mapping figures and so on. This button BPM will be manufactured in the near future and then we can do some off-line experiments to test it. # Corresponding author (email: bgsun@ustc.edu.cn) |

Funding: This work has been supported through KOMAC operation fund of KAERI by Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning. The linac for generation of the 100 MeV proton beam is operating in KOMAC. The 100 MeV proton beam is used in the industrial and the scientific fields such as improvement of the material characteristics and production of the isotope. The accurate measurements of the proton beam energy and profile are necessary for increasing the efficiency of the application and minimizing the inadequate radioactivation in linac structure caused by the beam loss. The proton beam energy and beam profile are measured by using the TOF (time-of-flight) method with a BPM (beam position monitor) and the ion chamber array, respectively. The detailed measurement setup and the measured results will be given in this paper. |

| MOPMB057 | Automatic Microbeam Focusing for X-Ray Microbeam Experiments at the 4B Beamline of Pohang Light Source-II | 220 |
|
||
| The 4B beamline of the Pohang Light Source-II performs X-ray microdiffraction and microfluorescence experiments using X-ray microbeams. When performing X-ray micro-experiments, an X-ray microbeam should first be prepared. Up to recently, the microbeams with vertical and horizontal sizes (full width at half maximum) of less than 3 μm have been achieved, by manually adjusting the translations and pitch angles of the vertically and horizontally focusing mirrors, in a Kirkpatrick'Baez (K-B) mirror system. In this research, we developed a program that automates the complex and cumbersome process of microbeam focusing, divided into half-cutting and focusing phases. The developed program was applied to the 4B beamline and enabled the focusing of an X-ray beam to a minimum size within one hour. This paper introduces the algorithms of the program and also examines its performance. | ||

| MOPMB060 | Upgrade of the LHC Schottky Monitor, Operational Experience and First Results | 226 |
|
||
| The LHC Schottky system allows the measurement of beam parameters such as tune and chromaticity in an entirely non-invasive way by extracting information from the statistical fluctuations in the incoherent motion of particles. The system was commissioned in 2011 and provided satisfactory beam-parameter measurements during LHC run 1 for lead-ions. However, for protons its usability was substantially limited due to strong interfering signals originating from the coherent motion of the particle bunch. The system has recently been upgraded with optimized travelling-wave pick-ups and an improved 4.8~GHz microwave signal path, with the front-end and the triple down-mixing chain optimized to reduce coherent signals. Design and operational aspects for the complete system are shown and the results from measurements with LHC beams in Run II are presented and discussed. | ||

Funding: This work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea(NRF) grant funded by the Korea government(MSIP) (no. NRF-2014M2C3A1029534). The carbon and proton beams are produced by the electron cyclotron resonance ion source with the energy of 8 keV/u and it is accelerated up to 7 MeV/u by the RFQ and IH-DTL. The accelerated beam is injected on the synchrotron through the medium energy beam transport (MEBT). In the MEBT line of KHIMA, the stripline beam position monitor (BPM) is installed to measure the beam trajectory and orbit jitter before the beam injection at the synchrotron. It is also used to measure the phase information such as a bunch length for the de-buncher tuning in MEBT line. The BPM has the position resolution of 100 um with the diameter of 40 mm. The design study is performed and it is fabricated. In order to confirm the performance of the beam position monitor, the measurement of position accuracy and calibration by using wire test-bench, and the beam test with proton beam from MC-50 in KIRAMS are performed. |

Funding: This work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea(NRF) grant funded by the Korea government(MSIP) (no. NRF-2014M2C3A1029534). Since an aperture of a low energy beam transport line of the KHIMA is quite large, 100 mm, to minimize an uncontrolled beam loss, large aperture Faraday-cup with the diameter of 100 mm is installed to measure the beam current from the electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECR-IS) and to identify the ion species using analyzing magnet. The suppression ring is designed to reduce the repelling electrons for an accurate measurement. The Faraday-cup has the cooling channel with the heat capability of 100 W to recover the heat from the ion beam for safety during the operation. In order to reduce the noise propagation from the cooling channel, the cooling channel is insulated with the cup. In this presentation, we show the physical modeling, mechanical aspect for design the large aperture Faraday-cup, and the result of in-beam test with the ECR-IS in KHIMA. |

Funding: NRF-2014M2C3A1029534 It is important to measure the beam propeties such as position, size and intensity, when we control the medical beam qualities, So we developed the scintillation screen monitor used for beam profile monitoring and it will be installed at High Energy Beam Transport(HEBT) section to measure the beam parameters. This system consists of a terbium-doped gadolinium oxysulfide(Gd2O2S:Tb) phosphor screen and high speed charge coupled device camera.

This Camera is mounted at distance of 260mm from the center of the scintillation screen and with the angle of 45 degree to the scintillation screen which is mounted at the angle of 45 degree to the beam axis. The image analysis program was written in National Instruments LabVIEW using IMAQ driver. To reduce the image processing time, we optimized the prcessing flow and used LabVIEW built-in function. To evaluate this system, we measured the beam size and center position of the beam at KIRAMS on 50MeV cyclotron.

| MOPMR012 | Studies of Buffer Gas Cooling of Ion Beams in an RFQ Cooler and Their Transport to the EBIS Charge Breeder | 248 |
| SUPSS075 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
| In rare isotope accelerator facilities, an RFQ cooler is often used to manipulate ions. The RFQ cooler is a de-vice to effectively cool and confine ions in gaseous envi-ronment. The RFQ cooler provides a radial electric force to the beam by applying RF voltages to the quadrupole electrode structures, and axial force by applying different DC voltages to the segmented electrodes. The ions are trapped inside the potential well of the RFQ cooler formed by the DC fields, so that they have more colli-sions with the buffer gas. Several important parameters such as transverse emittance can be improved when ion beams are extracted from the RFQ cooler. In order to design an efficient RFQ cooler, which can properly match the ion beams into the EBIS charge breeder, it is essential to analyze evolutions of the transverse emittance and transmission efficiency through the RFQ cooler. Moreo-ver, to minimize emittance growth and maximize trans-mission efficiency, the beam transport line to the EBIS charge breeder needs to be optimized. In this work, we study the methods to apply the mechanism of buffer gas cooling in RFQ cooler to G4beamline and the beam transport line to EBIS charge breeder to TRACK. | ||

| MOPMR014 | Beam Diagnostics Overview for Collector Ring at FAIR | 255 |
|
||
| The Collector Ring (CR) is a dedicated storage ring in the FAIR project, where the main emphasis is laid on the effective stochastic precooling of intense secondary beams of stable ions, rare isotopes or antiprotons. A complex operation scheme with several types of operational cycles with beams in CR starting from injection, RF gymnastics, stochastic cooling then, and finishing to extraction is foreseen. Beam parameters changes significantly during the cycles. This demands an exceptional high dynamic range for the beam instrumentation. Non-destructive methods are mandatory for high currents as well as for the low current secondary beams due to the low repetition rate. Precise measurements of all beam parameters and automatic steering with short response time are required due to the necessary exploitation of the full ring acceptances. An overview of the challenges and solutions for various diagnostic installations will be given. | ||

Funding: This work was partially supported by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science within the program "Nauka" Grant № 3.709.2014/K. The existing techniques for gamma beam diagnostics at medical accelerators based on X-ray films have several disadvantages such as insufficient spatial resolution, difficult realization and off-line mode. In the works*,** a feasibility of Cherenkov radiation (CR) in glass fibers for charged particle beam diagnostics was demonstrated. An application of glass fibers scanning for gamma beam diagnostics may have a lot advantages including a possibility of on-line measurements. For this goal we used optical fiber with 0.6 mm diameter and length up to 10 m. An efficiency of CR generation in such fibers and signal attenuation in a long fiber were investigated using the Tomsk microtron electron beam. The shape of gamma beam field produced by the medical SL-75-5MT 6 MeV electron accelerator was measured using the proposed technique. It is shown there it is possible to measure not only gamma beam spatial distribution, but also its angular distribution. * Wulf, F. and Korfer, M. 2009 Proc.

| MOPMR016 | A New Approach for the Electron Beam Diagnostic Using Diffraction Radiation Disphase Target | 261 |
|
||
|
Funding: The work was partially supported by the RFBR grant No 15-52-50028. Since 1995, when the diffraction radiation (DR) from relativistic particles was first observed*, the development of new approaches using the DR for charged particle beam diagnostics is continued. The DR appears when charged particle moves close to the media and the electromagnetic field interacts with it. A rather well-known non-invasive diagnostic method of transversal bunch size is to use a slit target**. In paper*** the optical DR from disphase target was proposed to use for non-invasive diagnostics of high energy electron beam. Disphase target consists of the two rectangular flat plates inclined with respect to each other at an angle compared with 1/g, where g is the Lorentz-factor. Recently the feasibility of the disphase target usage for the 6 MeV electron beam size diagnostics was investigated****. In this report we present the further research of the disphase target beam diagnostics. The simulations of the spectral-angular DR characteristics from this target and it application for diagnostics aim are shown. These calculations confirm an applicability of this technique for micron size beam measurements for the case of g>1000. *Y. Shibata et al. //PRE 52, 6787 (1995) **P.

| MOPMR017 | Design and Simulations of the Cavity BPM Readout Electronics for the ELI-NP Gamma Beam System | 264 |
|
||
| The Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility will provide a high intensity laser and a very intense gamma beam which will be used in a broad range of experiments. The gamma beam is obtained through incoherent Compton back-scattering of a laser light off a high brightness electron beam provided by a 700MeV warm LINAC. Electrons are accelerated in trains with up to 32 bunches, each one separated by 16ns. In the laser-electron interaction region, every bunch needs to be monitored with a resolution below 1μm RMS. To achieve this performance, a low-Q cavity beam position monitor will be used in combination with a dedicated data acquisition system able to perform bunch-by-bunch beam position measurements with sub-μm resolution. Using fast A/D converters and specific digital filtering, the readout system proposes an alternative measurement concept.

|
||
| Position monitoring, tune calculation and subsequent optimization of hadron circular accelerators requires specific instrumentation. Libera Hadron is the newly developed instrument intended for data acquisition and post processing of signals from shoe-box or capacitive type pickups. Development, initial measurements and verification of the instrument performance were conducted in the Instrumentation Technologies' laboratories, followed by the characterization measurements of the unit carried out at Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) facility. This article discusses the new BPM electronics concept, the tests performed and the performance obtained. | ||

| MOPMR021 | Lifetime and Operational Criteria of Proton Beam Instrumentation in the ESS Target Station | 276 |
|
||
| At the European Spallation Source, a 2 GeV, 5 MW proton beam will be delivered from a superconducting linear accelerator to target at a 4% duty factor, which poses demanding requirements on target station design. To tune the beam delivery system and to protect the target station components, the current density, the halo distribution, and the position of the proton beam shall be measured. To provide this functionality, a suite of beam monitoring devices will be deployed in the target monolith, including a multi-wire grid for the beam profile monitoring, thermo-couple assemblies and secondary emission blades for aperture monitoring, and a beam footprint imaging system consisting of optical components and luminescent coatings. Since these devices are exposed to particles that deposit energy and cause a high rate of radiation damage, it is a significant challenge to ensure full functionality. In this paper, material selection, lifetime estimates and operational criteria for these beam-monitoring devices are presented. A number of particle transport and finite-element simulations are performed for analyses, and an empirical validation plan is presented. | ||

| MOPMR022 | Beam-based Alignment of CLIC Accelerating Structures Utilizing Their Octupole Component | 280 |
|
||
| Alignment of the accelerating structures is essential for emittance preservation in long linear accelerators such as the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). The prototype structures for CLIC have four radial waveguides connected to each cell for damping wakefields and this four-fold symmetry is responsible for an octupole component of the radio-frequency fields, phase-shifted 90 degrees with respect to the accelerating mode. The octupole field causes a nonlinear dependence of the transverse beam deflection with respect to the position within the accelerating structure. By transversely moving the beam with two upstream steering magnets, and observing the deflection with beam position monitors or screens, the electromagnetic center of the structure can be found. We discuss the applicability of this method for aligning the beam in the accelerating structures. | ||

| MOPMR024 | A Versatile Beam Loss Monitoring System for CLIC | 286 |
| SUPSS070 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
| The design of a potential CLIC beam loss monitoring (BLM) system presents multiple challenges. To successfully cover the 48 km of beamline, ionisation chambers and optical fibre BLMs are under investigation. The former fulfils all CLIC requirements but would need more than 40000 monitors to protect the whole facility. For the latter, the capability of reconstructing the original loss position with a multi-bunch beam pulse and multiple loss locations still needs to be quantified. Two main sources of background for beam loss measurements are identified for CLIC. The two-beam accelerator scheme introduces so-called crosstalk, i.e. detection of losses originating in one beam line by the monitors protecting the other. Moreover, electrons emitted from the inner surface of RF cavities and boosted by the high RF gradients may produce signals in neighbouring BLMs, limiting their ability to detect real beam losses. This contribution presents the results of dedicated experiments performed in the CLIC Test Facility to quantify the position resolution of optical fibre BLMs in a multi-bunch, multi-loss scenario as well as the sensitivity limitations due to crosstalk and electron field emission. | ||

| MOPMR025 | Beam Size Estimation from Luminosity Scans at the LHC During 2015 Proton Physics Operation | 290 |
|
||
| As a complementary method for measuring the beam size for high-intensity beams at 6.5 TeV flat-top energy, beam separation scans were done regularly at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during 2015 proton physics operation. The luminosities measured by the CMS experiment during the scans were used to derive the convoluted beam size and orbit offset bunch-by-bunch. This contribution will elaborate on the method used to derive plane-by-plane, bunch-by-bunch emittances from the scan data, including uncertainties and corrections. The measurements are then compared to beam size estimations from absolute luminosity, synchrotron light telescopes, and wire scanners. In particular, the evolution of the emittance over the course of several hours in collisions is studied and bunch-by-bunch differences are highlighted. | ||

| Linac-4, a 140 MeV H-linear accelerator is designed to replace the aging 50 MeV proton Linac. It will consist of an H-source and 45 keV LEBT, an RFQ and 3 MeV MEBT with a chopper, 3 drift tube linac (DTL) tanks accelerating the beam to 12, 30 and 50 Mev, cavity coupled structures (CCDTL) accelerating it to 100 MeV and a pi mode structure bringing it to its design energy of 160 MeV. This paper reports on the commissioning of the DTL and CCDTL with 2 dedicated temporary measurement lines, the first one adapted to the 12 MeV beam while the second one is dedicated to characterize the 50 MeV and the 100 MeV beams. The beam diagnostic devices used in these lines is described as well as results obtained. | ||

Interactions of high-energy beam particles with residual gas offer a unique opportunity to measure the beam profile in a non-intrusive fashion. Such a method was successfully pioneered* at the LHCb experiment using a silicon microstrip vertex detector. During the recent Large Hadron Collider shutdown at CERN, a demonstrator Beam-Gas Vertexing system based on eight scintillating-fibre modules was designed**, constructed and installed on Ring 2 to be operated as a pure beam diagnostics device. The detector signals are read out and collected with LHCb-type front-end electronics and a DAQ system consisting of a CPU farm. Tracks and vertices will be reconstructed to obtain a beam profile in real time. Here, first commissioning results are reported. The advantages and potential for future applications of this technique are discussed.

| MOPMR028 | Emittance Characterisation of High Brightness Beams in the CERN PS | 299 |
|
||
| Measurements in the CERN Proton Synchrotron showed that achieving the required accuracy for the emittance characterisation of high brightness beams is challenging. Some of the present limits can be related to systematic errors in the wire scanner calibration or, for the horizontal emittance determination, in the assumptions adopted while deconvoluting the contribution of the longitudinal plane from the measured transverse profile. We present in this paper the results of a beam-based test of the wire scanner calibration and of a general numerical deconvolution algorithm to compute the betatronic profile starting from the measured ones. In addition to the bunch train average emittance, a bunch-by-bunch transverse emittance measurement would increase the potential to understand, optimise and monitor the beam performance. In 2015 the first PS bunch-by-bunch measurement chain was setup. The results are reported and discussed. | ||

| MOPMR029 | Experience with DOROS BPMs for Coupling Measurement and Correction | 303 |

| The Diode ORbit and OScillation System (DOROS) system is designed to provide accurate measurements of the beam position in the LHC. The oscillation part of the system, which is able to provide turn-by-turn data, is used to measure the transverse coupling. Since the system provides high resolution measurements for many turns only small excitations are needed to accurately measure the transverse coupling. In this article we present the performance the system to measure coupling and compare it to the BPMs not equipped with this system. | ||

| MOPMR030 | Performance of the Upgraded Synchrotron Radiation Diagnostics at the LHC | 306 |
|
||
| During the LHC long shut down in 2014, the transverse beam size diagnostics based on synchrotron radiation was upgraded in order to cope with the increase of the LHC beam energy to 6.5 TeV. The wavelength used for imaging was shifted to near ultra-violet to reduce the contribution of diffraction to the system resolution, while in parallel, a new diagnostic system based on double slit interferometry was installed to measure the beam size by studying the spatial coherence of the emitted synchrotron radiation. This method has never been implemented before in a proton machine. A Hartmann mask was also installed to identify possible wavefront distortions that could affect the system accuracy. This paper will focus on the comparison of visible and the near ultra-violet imaging and on the first experience with interferometry. | ||

| MOPMR031 | Investigation of Injection Losses at the Large Hadron Collider with Diamond Based Particle Detectors | 310 |
|
||
| During the operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2015, increased injection losses were observed. To minimize stress on accelerator components in the injection regions of the LHC and to guarantee an efficient operation these losses needed to be understood and possible mitigation techniques should be studied. Measurements with diamond particle detectors revealed the loss structure with ns-resolution for the first time. Based on these measurements, recaptured beam from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) surrounding the nominal bunch train was identified as the major contributor to the injection loss signals. Methods to reduce the recaptured beam in the SPS were successfully tested and verified with the diamond particle detectors. In this paper the detection and classification of LHC injection losses are described. The methods to reduce these losses and verification measurements are presented and discussed. | ||

| MOPMR034 | Precise Betastron Tune Measurement in TPS Storage Ring | 319 |
|
||
| To acquire precise beam orbits from beam position monitors (BPMs) in storage ring is one of the most significant diagnosis to measure beam parameters. However, the precise spectrum analyses from BPM data acquisitions such as betatron tune, dynamics aperture and frequency map '..etc. that are depended on more accurate discrete Fourier transform (DFT) or the fast Fourier transform (FFT). A method of the fast Fourier transform correction (FFTc) was employed for the more accurate spectrum measurement in Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). We perform the accuracy and error analyses of this method from some spectral lines in two window functions. And the precise spectrum for betatron tune measurements and related results will be presented. | ||

| MOPMR036 | Using a Single Shot Spectrometer to Determine the Spectral Characteristics of the Beam as a Result of Micro-bunching Instabilities | 327 |
| SUPSS068 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
| A single shot spectrometer has been designed and is in operation at the Diamond Light Source (DLS). It is an array of eight Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) each with a distinct frequency band covering 33-1000 GHz. The aim of the spectrometer is to observe the bursts of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) as a result of micro-bunching instabilities (MBI) and stable low alpha modes, where alpha is the momentum compaction factor. In this case, the bursts of CSR occur with wavelengths in the mm regime. SBDs are often implemented as detectors in the millimetre wavelength range and benefit from low noise, excellent sensitivity and ultra-fast responses. The eight SBDs have been individually characterised thus making the results obtained comparable to simulations. Here we present, an analysis of the data obtained via the spectrometer in particular, the bursting nature and spectral characteristics of a sample of beam modes at DLS. Furthermore, the results obtained can be used to confirm simulations. | ||

We report on some of the results and discussed the possible impact of the considered geometrical distortions. | ||

| MOPMR038 | Design and Simulation Studies of the Novel Beam Arrival Monitor Pickup at Daresbury Laboratory | 334 |

| We present the novel beam arrival monitor pickup design currently under construction at Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington, UK. The pickup consists of four flat electrodes in a transverse gap. CST Particle Studio simulations have been undertaken for the new pickup design as well as a pickup design from DESY, which is used as a reference for comparison. Simulation results have highlighted two advantages of the new pickup design over the DESY design; the signal bandwidth is 25 GHz, which is half that of the DESY design and the response slope is a factor of 1.6 greater. We discuss optimisation studies of the design parameters in order to maximise the response slope for bandwidths up to 50 GHz and present the final design of the pickup. | ||

| MOPMR039 | Review of Emittance Diagnostics for Space Charge Dominated Beams for AWAKE e- Injector | 337 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work is supported by the Cockcroft Institute Core Grant and STFC. For a low energy, high intensity beam, total beam emittance is dominated by defocusing space charge force. This is most commonly observed in photo-injectors. In this low energy regime, emittance measurement techniques such as quadrupole scans fail as they consider the beam size only depends on optical functions. The pepper-pot method is used for 2D emittance measurements in a single shot manner. In order to measure the beam emittance in space charge dominated regime by quadrupole scans, space charge term should be carefully incorporated into the transfer matrices. On the other hand, methods such as divergence interferometry via optical transition radiation (OTRI), phase space tomography using 1D projections of quadrupole scans can be suitably applied for such conditions. In this paper, the design of a versatile pepper-pot system for AWAKE experiment at CERN is presented for a wide range of bunch charges from 0.1 to 1nC where the space charge force increases significantly. In addition, other aforementioned methods and respective algorithms are introduced as alternative methods. |

Funding: UK STFC, Leverhulme Trust, Photon and Quantum Basic Research Coordinated Development Program (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan)and JSPS KAKENHI. We propose to use the polarization of coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (cSPr) to separate the signal from background radiation in a single-shot longitudinal bunch profile monitor. We compare simulation and experimental results for the degree of polarization of cSPr generated by a grating with a 1mm periodic structure at the LUCX facility, KEK (Japan). Both experiment and simulation show that the majority of the cSPr signal is polarized in the direction parallel to the grating grooves. The degree of polarization predicted by simulation is higher than the measured result, therefore further investigation is needed to resolve this discrepancy. |

Funding: This work was supported (in parts) by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC UK) through grant ST/M003590/1 and The Leverhulme Trust through the International Network Grant IN-2015-012 Previous studies have demonstrated that coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (cSPr) can be used for relativistic electron bunch time profile reconstruction at pico-second and femtosecond scales. The E203 experiments undertaken in May 2015 at FACET (SLAC) were dedicated to the study of some properties of cSPr, namely the azimuthal distribution and the polarization of the radiation. The experimental set up description which allowed such studies will be presented along with the results. To understand the experimental data both semi-analytical and numerical models were studied. The semi-analytical approach was based on the surface-current model, and the 3D particle-in-cell code VSim was used for numerical modeling. The experimental and theoretical studies are compared. |

| MOPMR043 | Optical System Design for The ESS Proton Beam and Target Diagnostics | 347 |
|
||
|
Funding: Science and Technology Facilities Council The high power and low emittance of the European Spallation Source (ESS) proton beam require a robust protection strategy for the spallation target and its surroundings. For this, the beam will be imaged on passing through scintillator screens coating both the proton beam window (PBW) on exit from the accelerator, and the entry window to the target (TW). Light from the screens must be transported to remote cameras through a 4m high shielding plug of limited aperture. At the same time, the optical path must not compromise the integrity of the shield against neutrons and interaction products. We present the theory underlying the design of the reflective optics for efficient transmission of high-quality images to provide the desired level of protection to the machine, and describe its implementation in the Zemax software tool, as well as the predicted imaging performance. We also consider how the requirements of environment (thermal and radiation), initial alignment and ongoing maintenance for the optical system will be met. Finally we comment on the applicability of optics of this type for diagnostic systems in similar situations at other neutron sources and elsewhere. |

Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 289485. The optimization of the performance of any particle accelerator critically depends on an in-depth understanding of the beam dynamics, powerful simulation tools and beam diagnostics, as well as a control and data acquisition system that links all the above. The oPAC consortium has carried out collaborative research into these areas, with the aim to optimize the performance of present and future accelerators that lie at the heart of many research infrastructures. The network brought together research centers, universities, and industry partners to jointly train 23 researchers in this interdisciplinary field. This contribution presents selected research highlights from the network's scientific work packages: results from beam dynamics simulations into upgrade scenarios for the LHC and the 3rd generation light sources ALBA and SOLEIL; use of a cryogenic current comparator for low intensity ion beams; advanced beam loss monitors operating in cryogenic environments; and a laser-wire beam profile monitor for H− beams. Finally, it discusses how an open source control system based on a relational database using a dynamic library loader can help enhance overall facility operation. |

|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by the EU under grant agreement 624890 and the STFC Cockcroft Institute core grant ST/G008248/1. Any imaging system requires the use of various optical components to transfer the light from the source, e.g. optical radiation generated by a charged particle beam, to the sensor. The impact of the transfer optics on the image resolution is often not well known. To improve this situation, the point spread function (PSF) of the optical system must be measured, preferably, with high dynamic range. For this purpose we have created an intense, small (~ 1 μm) point source using a high quality laser and special focusing optics; and introduced a digital micro-mirror array in the optical system to substantially increase its dynamic range. The PSFs of optical systems that are currently being developed for high resolution, high dynamic range beam imaging using optical transition and diffraction radiation are measured and compared to Zemax simulations. The goal of these studies is to systematically understand and mitigate any ill effects on the PSF due to aberrations, diffraction and misalignment of the components of the imaging system. We present the results of our measurements and simulations. |

Funding: Work supported by EU under contracts 215080 and 289191, Helmholtz Association (VH-NG-328) and STFC under the Cockcroft Institute core grant ST/G008248/1. The next generation of high power, high intensity accelerators requires non-invasive diagnostics, particularly beam profile monitors. Residual gas-based diagnostics such as ionization beam profile or beam induced fluorescence monitors have been used to replace commonly used scintillating screens. At the Cockcroft Institute an alternative technique using a supersonic gas jet, shaped into a 45o curtain screen, was developed. It has already demonstrated its superior performance in terms of resolution and signal-to-noise ratio in comparison with residual gas monitors in experimental studies. The performance of this type of monitor depends on the achievable jet homogeneity and quality. Using a movable vacuum gauge as a scanner, the dynamic characteristics of the jet are studied. In this paper we also give an analysis of the resolution for this monitor in detail from the theory and ion drift simulation. |

Funding: RIKEN IPA scheme and Cockcroft Institute Core Grant Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion sources supply a broad range of ions for post acceleration in cyclotrons. Here, an effort to improve the beam transfer from RIKEN's 18 GHz ECR ion source to the Low Energy Beam Transfer (LEBT) line and an optimization of the performance of the ion source is presented. Simulation studies have shown that less than 20% of the beam is currently transferred. The first goal is to measure the transverse beam emittance in real time. The emittance monitor designed and fabricated for this purpose utilizes a pepper pot plate followed by a transparent scintillator and a CMOS camera for image capture. The second goal is to find the optimal operating point of the ion source by sweeping parameters such as RF power, vacuum pressure, extraction electrode position and voltage. To this extent, modifications of the ion source took place, as well as a measurement of the magnetic field inside the ion source. In this contribution the results of the emittance and other operating parameters measurements, as well as the design details of the emittance monitor are presented |

| MOPMR052 | Single-shot Bunch-by-Bunch Horizontal Beam Size Measurements using a Gated Camera at CesrTA | 364 |
|

|
Funding: Work supported by NSF NSF PHY-1416318, PHYS-1068662, PHYS-1535696 A visible-light beam size monitor has been built and commissioned to measure transverse beam profiles at CESR-TA*. In order to eliminate beam jitter and to study bunch-by-bunch beam dynamics, a fast-gating camera has been utilized to measure single bunch transverse beam profiles. The minimum camera gate width is ~ 3ns which allows us to resolve single bunch beam dynamics along a CesrTA bunch train. Using single bunch interferometry at different bunch currents, we found that the horizontal beam sizes measured by gated camera are consistently less than those measured by a conventional CCD camera, demonstrating the elimination of turn-by-turn beam jitter with single shot capability. By stepping the camera trigger delay, we collected transverse beam profile images from each bunch in a 14ns-spacing 30-bunch train. The horizontal motion of each bunch as well as the horizontal beam size increases dramatically along an electron train but not along positron bunch trains under the same machine condition. The difference in single bunch horizontal dynamics may be a signature for the difference between electron cloud build-up for positron bunch trains versus ions present for electron bunch trains. * S.T.

| MOPMR054 | Double-slit Interferometer Measurements at SPEAR3 | 368 |
|
||
| The resolution of a conventional telescope used to image visible-light synchrotron radiation is often limited by diffraction effects. To improve resolution, the double-slit interferometer method was developed at KEK and has since become popular around the world. Based on the Van Cittert-Zernike theorem relating transverse source profile to transverse spatial coherence, the particle beam size can be inferred by recording fringe contrast as a function of interferometer slit separation. In this paper, we describe the SPEAR3 double-slit interferometer, develop a theoretical framework for the interferometer and provide experimental results. Of note the double-slit system is 'rotated' about the beam axis to map the dependence of photon beam coherence on angle. | ||

| MOPMR055 | Radiation-Resistant Fiber Optic Strain Sensors for SNS Target Instrumentation | 371 |
|
||
|
Funding: ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. DOE. Measurement of stresses and strains in the mercury target vessel of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is important to understand the structural dynamics of the target. Owing to their compactness, easy system integration, and invulnerability to the electromagnetic interference, fiber optic strain sensors have been installed into the SNS target module starting from the fall of 2015. In this talk, we report on the development of radiation-resistant fiber optic strain sensors for subsequent generations of SNS target instrumentation. The sensors are extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometers (EFPIs) made from fluorine-doped single-mode fibers. The radiation induced loss of the fiber has been measured in the SNS target 13 at the energy-on-target level exceeding 500 MWhr which results in peak doses on fiber of more than 109 Gy. A superluminescent diode laser at 1300 nm is used as the light source and the strain is measured in real-time using quadrature phase shifted signals generated from a local interferometer. We have demonstrated successful measurements of strains from 1 to 1000 με at a kHz frequency range on a test plate using the developed interrogation optical system. |

| MOPMR056 | Single-shot THz Spectrometer for Measurement of RF Breakdown in mm-wave Accelerators | 374 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics, under contract DE-SC0013684 We present a new instrument designed to detect RF pulse shortening caused by vacuum RF breakdown in mm-wave particle accelerators. RF breakdown limits the performance of high gradient RF accelerators. To understand the properties of these breakdowns, it is necessary to have diagnostics that reliably detect RF breakdowns. In X-band or S-band accelerators, RF breakdowns are detected by measuring RF pulse shortening, vacuum burst, or, if current monitors are available, spikes in the field-emitted currents. In mm-wave accelerators, all of these methods are difficult to use. In our experiments, we could not measure RF pulse shortening directly with a crystal detector because the RF pulse is very short'just a few nanoseconds'and changes in the measured signal were masked by RF amplitude jitter. To overcome this limitation, we built a single-shot spectrometer with a frequency range of 117-125 GHz and a resolution of 0.1 GHz. The spectrometer should be able to measure the widening of the spectrum caused by the shortening of nanosecond-long pulses. We present design considerations, first experimental results obtained at FACET, and planned future improvements for the spectrometer. |

| MOPMR057 | Measurements using Button BPM SUM Signal | 377 |
|
||
| Modern digital BPM detectors measure not only the beam positions, four buttons SUM signal can be very helpful for machine developments and operations. At NSLS-II, BPM SUM signal has been used from commissioning stage, to investigate localized beam losses. During top-off operation, precise beam lifetime measurement within relative short period of time becomes important. With many BPMs along the ring, BPM SUM can be a much more accurate tool to measure the beam current and lifetime. BPM SUM signal shall be proportional to beam current, and it may depends on button sizes and BPM chamber geometry, cable attenuations, electronics attenuations, beam position, bunch lengths, fill pattern etc. Experience of BPM SUM signals measurements will be presented. | ||

| MOPMR058 | Precise Beam Orbit Response Measurement with AC Excitation | 380 |
|
||
| Fast correctors at NSLS-II storage ring has broad frequency response (~1kHz bandwidth), together with high accurate BPM 10kHz data makes the broadband fast orbit feedback realistic. With integrated NCO, beam orbit response can be precisely measured while driving the electron beam with AC current. Compared to the normal DC orbit response measurement, this method eliminates the measurement errors due to orbit drift. Accurately measured orbit response matrix can be used to characterize the machine lattice. Fast corrector frequency responses have been measured using the same method, by scanning the excitation frequency. This information can be used to optimize the fast orbit feedback control loop. | ||

| MOPMR060 | C-Band Deflecting Cavity for Bunch Length Measurement of 2.5 MeV Electron Beam | 386 |
|
||
| The C-band deflecting cavity designed last year is finished. In this paper, the RF measurement of the cavity is introduced. After tuning, it works well at 5.712GHz with a coupling factor degree around 1.05. And we measured the electromagnetic field with bead-pull method. The flatness of the magnetic field is around 0.9, which is not ideal but meet the requirements of the bunch length measurement. And we propose a method of tuning to make sure both frequency and field flatness. | ||

| MOPMW007 | On the Calibration Measurement of Stripline Beam Position Monitor for the ELI-NP Facility | 411 |
|
||
| Stripline Beam Position Monitor (BPM) will be installed in the Compton Gamma Source in construction at the ELI Nuclear Physics facility in Romania. A test bench for the calibration of BPM has been built to characterize the device with stretched wire measurement in order to get the BPM response map. A full S-parameters characterisation is performed as well to measure the electrical offset with the "Lambertson method". This paper discusses the extensive simulations performed with full 3D electromagnetic CAD codes of the above measurements to investigate measurement accuracy, possible measurement artefacts and the beam position reconstruction. | ||

| MOPMW017 | Performance of the Beam Position Monitor System in Solaris Synchrotron | 432 |
|
||
| The Beam Position Monitor (BPM) system in the Solaris National Synchrotron Radiation Centre consists of 8 striplines along a linear accelerator and a transfer line and 36 buttons around the storage ring. The beam position measurement in the linac is handled by 15 cm quarter wave directional striplines connected to Libera Single Pass E modules as readout devices. The circulating beam in the storage ring is monitored by set of 45 degree diagonal buttons in two geometries connected to Libera Brilliance+ devices. Properly configured BPM setup allows for direct measurement of the beam position stability, closed orbit, current of single train and the stored beam. Moreover, the slow acquisition and turn-by-turn data stream from BPMs in the storage ring are used for automatic orbit correction, computing beam lifetime on each button, measuring an orbit response, the beta function and other physical parameters of the electron beam. In order to improve the measurement reliability the beam based alignment has been performed. Within the presentation the performance of the BPM system in Solaris during commissioning phase will be discussed. | ||

| MOPOR039 | Measurement of Beam Phase at FLASH using HOMs in Accelerating Cavities | 686 |
|
||
| The beam phase relative to the accelerating field is of vital importance for the quality of photon beams produced in modern Free Electron Lasers based on superconducting (SC) cavities. Normally, the phase is determined by detecting the transient field induced by the beam. In this way the phase of each cavity is checked and adjusted typically every few months. In this paper, we present another means of beam phase determination, based on higher order modes (HOMs) excited in the 2nd monopole band by the beam inside the SC cavities. A circuit model of this HOM band is also presented. Various effects on the resolution have been studied. Circuit model simulations indicate the resolution is strongly dependent on the signal to noise ratio. Preliminary experimental results, based on a broadband setup, reveal an approximately 0.1o RMS resolution. These are in good agreement with simulation results. The work will pave the way for a dedicated system of beam phase monitoring, which is under development for the European XFEL. This will be the first implementation of a dedicated beam phase monitor, based on beam-excited HOMs in accelerating cavities. | ||

| MOPOW014 | Measurements of Ultrasmall Charges with MCP Detector in FLASH Accelerator | 741 |
|
||
| Structure of the dark current passed through the undulator is a matter of great concern. Two effects can contribute to the dark current: emission of electrons from "hot" spots in the gun, and generation of "ghost" bunches due to possible leakage of the photoinjector laser. MCP based photon detector has been used for measurements of radiation energy from electron bunch. For small radiation densities the light is detected by direct illumination of the MCP plate, and for large densities a small angle scattering scheme is realized when metallic mesh scatters tiny fraction of light on the MCP plate. In the present experiment we used geometry of direct illumination of MCP plate aiming detection of "ghost" bunches which may generate parasitically from the laser driven electron gun. Reduction of background conditions allowed us to detect light produced by electron bunches with extremely small charges, down to a few femtocoulmb. We measured for the first time structure of the dark current passing through the FLASH undulator. We have also been able to measure a high contrast of radiation produced by the photoinjector laser pulses switched on and off by a 1 MHz repetition rate Pockels cells. | ||

| MOPOW046 | RadiaBeam/SLAC Dechirper as a Passive Deflector | 817 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work was supported by Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. We discuss the possibility of using the RadiBeam/SLAC dechirper recently installed at LCLS for measuring the bunch length of very short bunches, less than 1 fs perhaps as short as 100 atto second. When a bunch travels close to one of the jaws the particles of the bunch get a transverse kick depends upon the position of a particle in a bunch. The tail particles get more kick. The transverse force also gets a nonlinear dependence on the transverse position. The stretched bunch can be measured at the YAG screen that is 100 m downstream the dechirper. The most important aspect of this measurement is that that no synchronization is needed. The Green's function for the transverse kick was evaluated based on the precise wake field calculations of the dechirper corrugated structure*. Using this function we can restore the longitudinal shape of the bunch. This may also help to see if a bunch has any micro-bunch structure. * A.

| MOPOY048 | A Novel Approach in the One-Dimensional Phase Retrieval Problem and its Application to the Time Profile Reconstruction | 955 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work was supported (in parts) by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC UK) grant ST/M003590/1 and The Leverhulme Trust through International Network Grant IN-2015-012 Accurate knowledge of the longitudinal profile of the bunch is important in the context of linear colliders, wake-field accelerators and for the next generation of light sources. As a result the non-destructive, single-shot evaluation of the profile is one of the challenging problems which can be addressed via spectral analysis of coherent radiation generated by a charged particle bunch. To reconstruct the bunch profile from the spectrum the phase retrieval problem has to be solved. Frequently applied methods, e.g. minimal phase retrieval or other iterative algorithms, are reliable if the Blaschke phase contribution is negligible. This is neither known a priori nor can it be assumed to apply to an arbitrary bunch profile. We present a novel approach which gives reproducible, most-probable and stable reconstructions for bunch profiles that would otherwise remain unresolved by the existing techniques. The algorithm proposed uses the output of Kramers-Kronig minimum phase as both initial and boundary conditions, providing a unique solution. To assure a converging solution, new conditions linked to the independently known experimental data such as beam charge were introduced. |

| The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) started an x-ray free electron laser project (PAL-XFEL) in 2011. The construction was finished at the end of 2015 and the commissioning is planned from the beginning of 2016. In the PAL-XFEL, an electron beam with 200 pC will be generated from a photocathode RF gun and will be accelerated to 10 GeV by using a linear accelerator. The electron beam will pass through undulator section to produce hard X-ray radiation. For the successful commissioning and beam operation, various kinds of instruments were prepared. | ||

| WEOBB01 | Single Micron Single-Bunch Turn-by-Turn BPM Resolution Achieved at NSLS-II | 2095 |
|
||
| NSLS-II state-of-the-art BPMs provide a single micron turn-by-turn BPM resolution for any bunch train of reasonable intensity. For certain beam dynamics studies a similar, or even better, resolution is desired for a single-, or a few-bunch fill, which is not yet available with our standard BPM signal processing. This paper describes our experience with more advanced BPM ADC signal processing which allowed us to significantly improve turn-by-turn BPM resolution in single bunch mode down to the level of about one micron at ~1 nC/bunch. We also present the examples of machine studies that benefit from this BPM performance enhancement. | ||

| WEOBB02 | Status of Wakefield Monitor Experiments at the CLIC Test Facility | 2099 |
|
||
| For the very low emittance beams in CLIC, it is vital to mitigate emittance growth which leads to reduced luminosity in the detectors. One factor that leads to emittance growth is transverse wakefields in the accelerating structures. In order to combat this the structures must be aligned with a precision of a few um. For achieving this tolerance, accelerating structures are equipped with wakefield monitors that measure higher-order dipole modes excited by the beam when offset from the structure axis. We report on such measurements, performed using prototype CLIC accelerating structures which are part of the module installed in the CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3) at CERN. Measurements with and without the drive beam that feeds rf power to the structures are compared. Improvements to the experimental setup are discussed, and finally remaining measurements that should be performed before the completion of the program are summarized. | ||

| WEOBB03 | A Non-destructive Profile Monitor Using a Gas Sheet | 2102 |
|
||
| We are developing a dense gas-sheet target to realize a non-destructive and fast-response beam profile monitor for 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) in the J-PARC. This time, to demonstrate the function of the gas sheet for measuring the 2 dimensional profiles of the accelerated beams, the following experiments were carried out: 1) The gas sheet with a thickness of 1.5 mm and the density of 2×10-4 Pa was generated by the combination of the deep slit and the thin slit. Here, the gas sheet was produced by the deep slit, and the shape of the sheet was improved by the thin slit. 2) For the electron beam of 30 keV with a diameter greater than 0.35 mm, the position and the two-dimensional profiles were well measured using the gas sheet. 3) Then the profiles of the 400 MeV proton beam with a current of 1×10-6 A was well measured, too. | ||

| THOAA02 | The Development of C-Band Cavity Beam Position Monitor with a Position Resolution of Nano Meter | 3149 |
|
||
| We developed and tested an C-band beam position monitor with position resolution of nano meter in ATF2. The C-band BPM was developed for the fast beam feedback system at the interaction point of ATF in KEK, which C-band beam position monitor called to IPBPM (Interaction Point Beam Position Monitor). The developed IPBPM was measured 26nm with 30% of nominal beam charge of ATF. From the measured beam position resolution, we can expected to 8nm beam position resolution with nominal ATF beam charge condition. In this talk, we will described about the development of IPBPM and the beam test results of nano meter level beam position resolution. | ||
