In a plasma-ac­cel­er­a­tor-based lin­ear col­lider, the den­sity of matched, low-emit­tance, high-en­ergy par­ti­cle bunches re­quired for col­lider ap­pli­ca­tions can be or­ders of mag­ni­tude above the back­ground ion den­sity, lead­ing to ion mo­tion, per­tur­ba­tion of the fo­cus­ing fields, and, hence, to beam emit­tance growth. By an­a­lyz­ing the re­sponse of the back­ground ions to an ul­tra­high den­sity beam, an­a­lyt­i­cal ex­pres­sions, valid for non-rel­a­tivis­tic ion mo­tion, are ob­tained for the per­turbed fo­cus­ing wake­field. Ini­tial beam dis­tri­b­u­tions are de­rived that are equi­lib­rium so­lu­tions, which re­quire head-to-tail bunch shap­ing, en­abling emit­tance preser­va­tion with ion mo­tion.

  The Beam Breakup In­sta­bil­ity is a crit­i­cal ef­fect to re­duce in high cur­rent in­duc­tion ac­cel­er­a­tors. The RF modes gen­er­ated in­side the in­duc­tion cells can de­flect or de­grade sub­se­quent beam tra­vers­ing the cell. Sig­nif­i­cant ef­fort has been in­vested in min­i­miz­ing the ef­fect over sev­eral decades. One mech­a­nism that is known to re­duce the trans­verse im­ped­ance, the main ob­serv­able ex­per­i­men­tally which di­rectly re­lates to the BBU am­pli­tude, is to in­tro­duce fer­rites to ab­sorb the fields. An­other, less in­ves­ti­gated mech­a­nism, is to dis­turb the modes sym­me­try by in­sert­ing the drive rods at the proper lo­ca­tions in the cell. This paper will show that the drive rods can dra­mat­i­cally re­duce the trans­verse im­ped­ance, and will show that sim­u­la­tions are ma­tur­ing to­wards pre­dict­ing this ef­fect.

Di­a­mond Field-Emit­ter Array (DFEA) cath­odes are ar­rays of mi­cron-scale di­a­mond pyra­mids with nanome­ter-scale tips. DFEAs can pro­duce high emis­sion cur­rents with small emit­tance and en­ergy spread. At LANL, we have an on­go­ing pro­gram to test DFEA cath­odes for the pur­pose of using them to gen­er­ate high-cur­rent, low-emit­tance elec­tron beams for di­elec­tric laser ac­cel­er­a­tors. We have re­cently up­graded our cath­ode test cham­ber to use a mesh anode in place of a solid lu­mi­nes­cent anode. In ad­di­tion to al­low­ing for down­stream beam trans­port, this arrange­ment may elim­i­nate ear­lier prob­lems with re­duced cath­ode per­for­mance due to ion back-bom­bard­ment. We are mea­sur­ing di­ver­gence of the elec­tron beam past the mesh in an ef­fort to char­ac­ter­ize the in­her­ent beam di­ver­gence off the di­a­mond tip and di­ver­gence con­tri­bu­tion from the mesh. We will com­pare these ob­ser­va­tions with the­o­ret­i­cal and mod­eled val­ues.

  The pro­posed U.S. Elec­tron-Ion Col­lider (EIC) pro­vides a unique tool to ex­plore the next fron­tier in Quan­tum Chro­mo­dy­nam­ics, the de­pen­dence of hadron struc­ture on the dy­nam­ics of glu­ons and sea quarks. Po­lar­ized beams are es­sen­tial to these stud­ies; un­der­stand­ing of the hadron struc­ture can­not be achieved with­out knowl­edge of the spin. The ex­ist­ing EIC con­cepts uti­lize both po­lar­ized elec­trons and po­lar­ized pro­tons/light ion species to probe the sea quark and gluon dis­tri­b­u­tions. Po­lar­ized deuterons pro­vide an es­pe­cially unique sys­tem for study by es­sen­tially pro­vid­ing a com­bi­na­tion of quark and nu­clear physics. We note that there are cur­rently no op­er­a­tional po­lar­ized deuteron beam sources in the United States. This po­lar­ized deuteron source can serve as a po­lar­ized deuteron in­jec­tor for a fu­ture EIC, with ad­di­tional ap­pli­ca­tions in po­larime­try and po­lar­ized gas tar­gets for ex­per­i­ments at CEBAF or RHIC and would be very use­ful for our fu­ture fa­cil­i­ties.

  We pre­sent sim­u­la­tions of shaped elec­tron beam pro­duc­tion from di­a­mond field emit­ter array (DFEA) cath­odes. DFEAs are ar­rays of di­a­mond pyra­mids with bases of the order of 10 mi­crons that pro­duce high cur­rent den­si­ties. These ar­rays can be fab­ri­cated in ar­bi­trary shapes such as a tri­an­gle or a dou­ble tri­an­gle, so that they pro­duce an in­her­ently shaped beam. These trans­versely shaped beams can be put through an emit­tance ex­changer to pro­duce a lon­gi­tu­di­nally shaped elec­tron beam dis­tri­b­u­tion for use with high-trans­former ratio wake­field ac­cel­er­a­tors. Sim­u­la­tions are con­ducted with MICHELLE. We de­sign cath­odes and fo­cus­ing sys­tems that pre­serve the beam's shape while trans­port­ing it to the emit­tance ex­changer.

We pre­sent re­sults of re­cent stud­ies of new ma­te­ri­als de­signed for the ad­di­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing of ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­tures for di­elec­tric laser ac­cel­er­a­tors (DLAs). Demon­stra­tion of a stand-alone prac­ti­cal DLA re­quires in­no­va­tion in de­sign and fab­ri­ca­tion of ef­fi­cient laser ac­cel­er­a­tor struc­tures and cou­plers. Many com­pli­cated three-di­men­sional struc­tures for laser ac­cel­er­a­tion (such as a long wood­pile struc­ture with cou­plers) are dif­fi­cult to man­u­fac­ture with con­ven­tional mi­cro­fab­ri­ca­tion tech­nolo­gies. LANL has a large ef­fort fo­cused on de­vel­op­ing new ma­te­ri­als and tech­niques for ad­di­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing. The ma­te­ri­als for DLA struc­tures must have high di­elec­tric con­stant (larger than 4), low loss in the in­frared regime, high laser dam­age thresh­old, and be able to with­stand the elec­tron beam dam­age. This pre­sen­ta­tion will dis­cuss the de­vel­op­ment of novel in­frared di­elec­tric ma­te­ri­als that are of in­ter­est for laser ac­cel­er­a­tion and are com­pat­i­ble with ad­di­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing, as well as re­cent ad­vances in ad­di­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing of di­elec­tric wood­pile struc­tures using a Nano­scribe di­rect laser-writ­ing 3D printer.

  A beam dri­ven ac­cel­er­a­tion ex­per­i­ment in a pho­tonic band gap (PBG) struc­ture is planned at Ar­gonne wake­fied ac­cel­er­a­tor (AWA) fa­cil­ity at Ar­gonne Na­tional Lab­o­ra­tory. We plan to pass a high charge (drive) beam through a trav­el­ling wave 11.7 GHz PBG struc­ture and gen­er­ate a wake­field. This wake­field will be probed by a low charge (wit­ness) beam to demon­strate wake­field ac­cel­er­a­tion and de­cel­er­a­tion. The drive and wit­ness bunches will be ac­cel­er­ated to above 60 MeV in the main ac­cel­er­a­tor at AWA which has fre­quency of 1.3 GHz. The charges used in this ex­per­i­ment could be as high as 20 nC. To mea­sure the ex­clu­sive ef­fect of PBG the struc­ture on ac­cel­er­a­tion and de­cel­er­a­tion of the wit­ness bunch we have to ex­clude the ef­fect of beam load­ing of the main AWA ac­cel­er­a­tor struc­ture. To un­der­stand the wake­field ef­fect in AWA, we con­ducted an ex­per­i­ment where we passed the high charge (10 nC) beam through the ac­cel­er­a­tor struc­ture which was fol­lowed by a 2 nC wit­ness beam sep­a­rated by 4 wave­length. The en­ergy of wit­ness beam was mea­sured in the pres­ence and ab­sence of the drive beam. The beam load­ing was ob­served and quan­ti­fied. The re­sults of this work will be pre­sented in the con­fer­ence.

  We plan to con­duct a beam dri­ven ac­cel­er­a­tion ex­per­i­ment in a pho­tonic band gap (PBG) ac­cel­er­a­tor struc­ture op­er­at­ing at 11.7 GHz at Ar­gonne Wake­field Ac­cel­er­a­tor (AWA) fa­cil­ity. For the ex­per­i­ment, the PBG struc­ture will be ex­cited by a high charge (up to 10 nC) elec­tron bunch, and a sec­ond smaller charge wit­ness bunch will be ac­cel­er­ated. Be­cause the PBG struc­ture was fab­ri­cated with elec­tro­form­ing, the AWA beam­line in­cludes a Be win­dow placed be­fore the PBG struc­ture that pro­tects the cath­ode from con­t­a­m­i­na­tion due to pos­si­ble out­gassing from the elec­tro­formed cop­per. The di­am­e­ter of the Be win­dow is 9 mm and the beam tube di­am­e­ter of the PBG struc­ture is 6.4 mm. The size of the high charge elec­tron beam on Be win­dow has to be min­i­mized to min­i­mize scat­ter­ing. The pa­ra­me­ters of the beam­line had to be ad­justed to achieve good prop­a­ga­tion of the beam. An OPAL sim­u­la­tion for the AWA beam­line was per­formed for 1, 5, and 10 nC beams. The beam size was ex­per­i­men­tally mea­sured at dif­fer­ent po­si­tions in the beam­line for dif­fer­ent charges to ver­ify sim­u­la­tions. Fi­nally, the high charge elec­tron beam was passed through the PBG struc­ture and ac­cel­er­a­tion of the wit­ness bunch was mea­sured

We pre­sent the de­sign and ex­per­i­men­tal op­er­a­tion on an X-band meta­ma­te­r­ial (MTM) wagon wheel struc­ture for wake­field ac­cel­er­a­tion. The struc­ture was de­signed and fab­ri­cated at MIT, and tested at the Ar­gonne Wake­field Ac­cel­er­a­tor (AWA) lab­o­ra­tory at Ar­gonne Na­tional Lab. The MTM wagon wheel struc­ture is an all-metal pe­ri­odic struc­ture at 11.4 GHz. The fun­da­men­tal TM mode has a neg­a­tive group ve­loc­ity, so when an elec­tron beam trav­els through, en­ergy is ex­tracted from the beam by re­versed Cherenkov ra­di­a­tion, which was ver­i­fied in the ex­per­i­ment. Sin­gle bunches up to 45 nC were sent through the struc­ture with a beam aper­ture of 6 mm and gen­er­ated mi­crowave power up to 25 MW in a 2 ns pulse, in agree­ment with both the an­a­lyt­i­cal wake­field the­ory and the nu­mer­i­cal CST sim­u­la­tions. Two bunches with a total charge of 85 nC gen­er­ated 80 MW of mi­crowave power. The struc­ture is scal­able to a power ex­trac­tor of over 1 GW by in­creas­ing the struc­ture length from 8 cm to 22 cm.

  A 1.5 MW, 110 GHz gy­ro­tron has been used to ex­per­i­men­tally mea­sure the max­i­mum sus­tain­able fields on di­elec­tric ma­te­ri­als in vac­uum. The pur­pose of this work is to eval­u­ate the suit­abil­ity of these ma­te­ri­als for fu­ture ap­pli­ca­tions in high fre­quency lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tors and high power ter­a­hertz com­po­nents. To our knowl­edge, these are the first mea­sure­ments of mul­ti­pactor phe­nom­ena in the mil­lime­ter wave or ter­a­hertz fre­quency range. Ma­te­ri­als tested in­clude alu­mina, sap­phire, fused quartz, crys­tal quartz, and high re­sis­tiv­ity sil­i­con. Di­elec­tric sam­ples were tested both as win­dows, with elec­tric fields par­al­lel to the sur­face, and sub-wave­length di­elec­tric rod wave­guides, with elec­tric fields per­pen­dic­u­lar to the sur­face. Sur­face elec­tric fields in ex­cess of 52 MV/m were achieved in 3 mi­crosec­ond pulses. Vis­i­ble light emis­sion, ab­sorbed/scat­tered mi­crowave power, and emit­ted elec­trons were mea­sured to char­ac­ter­ize the dis­charges on the di­elec­tric sur­faces. The re­sults of these ex­per­i­ments have been com­pared to the­o­ret­i­cal cal­cu­la­tions of mul­ti­pactor dis­charges, test­ing these the­o­ries at sig­nif­i­cantly higher fre­quen­cies than has been done be­fore.

  The Linac II at DESY (Deutsches Elek­tro­nen Syn­chro­tron) is an elec­tron/positron lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor with a 400 MeV pri­mary elec­tron linac, an 800 MW positron con­verter, and a 450 MeV sec­ondary elec­tron/positron linac. For re­li­a­bil­ity two in­jec­tion sys­tems can be switched, a 150 kV bom­barder diode gun dat­ing from 1969 and a 100 kV tri­ode gun com­mis­sioned in 2014. The older bom­barder gun shall be re­placed with a tri­ode gun op­ti­mized for in­jec­tion into the syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion fa­cil­ity PETRA III. In this paper, the pa­ra­me­ters of the ex­ist­ing in­jec­tors and the de­sign con­sid­er­a­tions for the new in­jec­tor are pre­sented. The pre­lim­i­nary beam dy­nam­ics cal­cu­la­tion of the new in­jec­tion sys­tem will be per­formed; the fu­ture plan of the re­place­ment will be dis­cussed.

Laser wake­field ac­cel­er­a­tor (LWFA) can be achieved in a scheme in which a sub-ter­awatt (TW) laser pulse is in­tro­duced into a thin, high-den­sity tar­get*. As a re­sult, the self-fo­cus­ing and the self-mod­u­la­tion can greatly en­hance the peak in­ten­sity of the laser pulse ca­pa­ble of ex­cit­ing a non­lin­ear plasma wave to ac­cel­er­ate elec­trons. A par­ti­cle-in-cell model was de­vel­oped to study the sub-TW LWFA, in which a 0.6-TW laser pulse is in­jected into a hy­dro­gen gas cell with a flat-top den­sity pro­file. In ad­di­tion to using 800-nm laser pulses, laser pulses of 1030 nm were used in sim­u­la­tions as they rep­re­sent a vi­able ap­proach to re­al­ize the sub-TW LWFA dri­ven by high-fre­quency, diode-pumped laser sys­tems**. Process of the elec­tron in­jec­tion is com­pli­cated in such a high-den­sity plasma; how­ever, the sim­u­la­tion re­sults show that the ap­pro­pri­ate in­jec­tion and ac­cel­er­a­tion of elec­trons can be achieved by op­ti­miz­ing the length of the gas cell. When a 340-mi­crom­e­ter long gas cell is in­tro­duced, en­er­getic elec­trons (> 1 MeV) are pro­duced with a rel­a­tively low emit­tance of 3.5 pi-mm-mrad and a total charge of 0.32 nC ac­cord­ingly.

  The NSC KIPT SCA Neu­tron Source uses 100 MeV/ 100 kW elec­tron lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor as a dri­ver for the gen­er­a­tion of the ini­tial neu­trons. The trial op­er­a­tion of the ac­cel­er­a­tor was started in 2018. To pro­vide de­sign elec­tron beam pa­ra­me­ters is the pri­mary task of the first stage of the trial op­er­a­tion. Dur­ing the first stage of the ac­cel­er­a­tor op­er­a­tion the fol­low­ing tasks were under con­sid­er­a­tion: min­i­miza­tion of the elec­tron beam losses along ac­cel­er­a­tor, pro­vid­ing of the sta­ble elec­tron beam pulse cur­rent, ad­just­ment of the elec­tron beam po­si­tion along ac­cel­er­a­tor and pro­vid­ing of the uni­form elec­tron beam dis­tri­b­u­tion at the tung­sten neu­tron gen­er­at­ing tar­get. The main re­sults of the ac­cel­er­a­tor op­er­a­tion and meth­ods of per­for­mance im­prove are de­scribed in the paper.

  Dur­ing 2016-2017 the in­stal­la­tion, as­sem­bling and com­mis­sion­ing of the NSC KIPT SCA Neu­tron Source tech­no­log­i­cal sys­tems were com­pleted. The fa­cil­ity was de­signed and de­vel­oped by NSC KIPT of Ukraine in col­lab­o­ra­tion with ANL of USA. The con­struc­tion of the neu­tron source fa­cil­ity was started in 2012. The neu­trons of the sub­crit­i­cal as­sem­bly are gen­er­ated by 100 MeV/ 100 kW elec­tron beam uni­formly dis­trib­uted at the sur­face of the tung­sten tar­get. It is sup­posed that the fa­cil­ity will be used to per­form basic and ap­plied nu­clear re­search, pro­duce med­ical iso­topes, and train nu­clear spe­cial­ists. The in­di­vid­ual ac­cep­tance test­ing and com­pre­hen­sive test­ing were con­ducted for the tech­no­log­i­cal and en­gi­neer­ing sys­tems of the neu­tron source. The tests were per­formed in com­pli­ance with pro­grams and method­olo­gies agreed by the State Nu­clear Reg­u­la­tory In­spec­torate of Ukraine. The test­ing re­sults con­firmed com­pli­ance of the equip­ment with tech­ni­cal spec­i­fi­ca­tions, stan­dards, reg­u­la­tions and rules on nu­clear and ra­di­a­tion safety and pre­pared­ness of these sys­tems for trial op­er­a­tion with the KIPT neu­tron source. The trial op­er­a­tion of the NSC KIPT SCA 'Neu­tron Source' has been started.

  In Re­cent years, the Cherenkov light ra­di­a­tion trans­formed from sur­face plas­mon po­lari­tons has been found and pro­posed for a com­pact and ad­justable light source. As the process is mo­ti­vated by charged par­ti­cle beam, the char­ac­ter­is­tics of the light are not only re­lated with the de­vice but can also re­flect cer­tain char­ac­ter­is­tics of the beam. In this paper, a beam po­si­tion and en­ergy mea­sure­ment method has been pro­posed based on the Cherenkov light ra­di­a­tion trans­formed from sur­face plas­mon po­lari­tons. Early-stage nu­mer­i­cal and an­a­lyt­i­cal in­ves­ti­ga­tions are also pre­sented for a pla­nar struc­ture de­vice.

  An ul­tra­high-in­ten­sity laser in­ci­dent on a tar­get sets up a very strong elec­tro­sta­tic field ex­ceed­ing 100 GV/m, it will few or­ders mag­ni­tude shrink down the tra­di­tional radio fre­quency ac­cel­er­a­tors. Whereas, to build a real ac­cel­er­a­tor for rou­tine op­er­a­tion, many sci­en­tific and tech­ni­cal chal­lenges for laser ac­cel­er­a­tion need to over­come be­fore they could be ap­plied to these ap­pli­ca­tions. Re­cently A laser ac­cel­er­a­tor− Com­pact Laser Plasma Ac­cel­er­a­tor (CLAPA) is being built with a beam line to de­liver pro­ton beam with the en­ergy of 1~15MeV, en­ergy spread of ¡À1% and 107-8 pro­tons per pulse. The very high cur­rent pro­ton beam is ac­cel­er­ated in laser ul­tra­thin-foil in­ter­ac­tion and trans­ported by a beam line con­sist­ing of the elec­tric quadru­ple and an­a­lyz­ing mag­nets. It makes sure the good beam qual­i­ties such as en­ergy spread, charge, re­peata­bil­ity and avail­abil­ity of dif­fer­ent en­ergy, which means that for the first laser ac­cel­er­a­tion be­comes a real laser ac­cel­er­a­tor. With the de­vel­op­ment of high-rep rate PW laser tech­nol­ogy, we can now en­vi­sion a com­pact beam ther­a­peu­tic ma­chine of can­cer treat­ment in the near fu­ture soon.

  ARIEL (Ad­vanced Rare Iso­topE Lab­o­ra­tory) at TRI­UMF will use a high-power elec­tron beam to pro­duce ra­dioac­tive ion beams via photo-fis­sion. The sys­tem has been de­signed to pro­vide up to 10 mA of elec­trons at 30 MeV. The elec­tron source de­liv­ers elec­tron bunches with charge up to 16 pC at a rep­e­ti­tion fre­quency of 650 MHz at 300 keV. The main com­po­nents of the source are a grid­ded dis­penser cath­ode (CPI - Y845) in an SF6 filled ves­sel and an in-air HV power sup­ply. The beam is bunched by ap­ply­ing DC and RF fields to the grid. A macro pulse struc­ture can be ap­plied by ad­di­tional low fre­quency mod­u­la­tion of the RF sig­nal. This al­lows ad­just­ing the av­er­age beam cur­rent by chang­ing the duty fac­tor of the macro puls­ing. Unique fea­tures of the gun are its cath­ode/anode geom­e­try to re­duce field emis­sion, and trans­mis­sion of RF mod­u­la­tion via a di­elec­tric (ce­ramic) wave­guide through the SF6. The source has been in­stalled and fully com­mis­sioned to a beam power up to 1 KW and tests with ac­cel­er­ated beams have been per­formed. Mea­sure­ments of the beam prop­er­ties and re­sults from the com­mis­sion­ing and op­er­a­tional ex­pe­ri­ences of the source will be pre­sented.

  In re­cent years, there has been a grow­ing in­ter­est and rapid ex­per­i­men­tal progress on the use of e.m. fields pro­duced by elec­tron beams pass­ing through di­elec­tric-lined struc­tures and on the ef­fects they might have on the drive and wit­ness bunches. Short ul­tra-rel­a­tivis­tic elec­tron bunches can ex­cite very in­tense wake­fields, which pro­vide an ef­fi­cient ac­cel­er­a­tion through the di­elec­tric wake­field ac­cel­er­a­tors (DWA) scheme with higher gra­di­ent than that in the con­ven­tional RF LINAC. These beams can also gen­er­ate high power nar­row band THz co­her­ent Cherenkov ra­di­a­tion. These high gra­di­ent fields may cre­ate strong in­sta­bil­i­ties on the beam it­self caus­ing is­sues in plasma ac­cel­er­a­tion ex­per­i­ments (PWFA), plasma lens­ing ex­per­i­ments and in re­cent beam di­ag­nos­tic ap­pli­ca­tions. In this work we re­port the re­sults of the sim­u­la­tions and stud­ies of the wake­fields gen­er­ated by elec­tron beams at dif­fer­ent lengths and charges pass­ing on and off axis in di­elec­tric-coated cir­cu­lar wave­guides. We also pro­pose a semi-an­a­lyt­i­cal method to cal­cu­late these high gra­di­ent fields with­out re­sort­ing to time con­sum­ing sim­u­la­tions.

  Due to the mas­sive par­al­lel op­er­a­tion modes at the GSI ac­cel­er­a­tors, a lot of ac­cel­er­a­tor setup and re-ad­just­ment have to be made by the op­er­a­tors dur­ing a beam time. With the FAIR pro­ject the com­plex­ity of the ac­cel­er­a­tor fa­cil­ity in­creases fur­ther­more and for ef­fi­ciency rea­sons it is rec­om­mended to es­tab­lish a high level of au­toma­tion for fu­ture op­er­a­tion. The PEP (pa­ra­me­ter evo­lu­tion pro­ject) has been launched at GSI op­er­a­tions group in 2017 to in­ves­ti­gate the po­ten­tial of a set­tings op­ti­miza­tion using evo­lu­tion­ary Al­go­rithms. The work­ing proof of prin­ci­ple has al­ready been tested at the Cryring in­jec­tor. The lat­est im­prove­ments and the fur­ther De­vel­op­ment of the Pa­ra­me­ter Evo­lu­tion Pro­ject will be shown.

  This paper pre­sents the new ex­per­i­men­tal re­sults con­cern­ing ac­cel­er­a­tion of deu­terium ions ex­tracted from laser plasma in the rapid-grow­ing nonuni­form mag­netic field in order to ini­ti­ate the nu­clear re­ac­tions D(d, n)3He and Т (d,n)4He. In order to ob­tain plasma a laser that gen­er­ates in Q-switched mode the pulses of in­frared ra­di­a­tion (λ = 1.06 μm) with the en­ergy W ≤ 0.85 J and du­ra­tion of ≈10 ns. In the pre­sent study, the ve­loc­ity of a bunch of a laser plasma at a mag­netic field in­duc­tion rate of 3-108 T/s was ex­per­i­men­tally mea­sured, and an­gu­lar dis­tri­b­u­tions of ac­cel­er­ated par­ti­cle fluxes were mea­sured in the range from 0 to 30 de­grees. The max­i­mum and mean ion ve­loc­i­ties were de­ter­mined by the time-of-flight tech­nique. The pro­posed sys­tem al­lows the gen­er­a­tion of neu­trons, in­clud­ing pos­si­bly ther­monu­clear ones, on coun­ter­flows using two sim­i­lar mag­netic ac­cel­er­a­tors lo­cated coax­i­ally, fac­ing each other. In this case the prob­lem re­lated to degra­da­tion of solid neu­tron-gen­er­at­ing tar­gets is re­solved. There also oc­curs a pos­si­bil­ity of fast ac­cu­mu­lated run­ning time of packed solid tar­gets at using of deuteron-tri­tium laser tar­gets.

  Gen­er­ally, when de­sign­ing an ac­cel­er­a­tor de­vice, the de­sign is based on the ex­pe­ri­ence and knowl­edge of the de­signer. Most of the de­sign process pro­ceeds by chang-ing the pa­ra­me­ters and look­ing at the trends and then de­ter­min­ing the op­ti­mal val­ues. This process is time-con­sum­ing and te­dious. In order to ef­fi­ciently per­form this te­dious de­sign process, a method using an op­ti­miza­tion al­go­rithm is used. Re­cently, many peo­ple started to get in­ter­ested in the al­go­rithm used in Al­phaGo, which be­came fa­mous when it won the pro­fes­sional Go player de­vel­oped by google The al­go­rithm used in Al­phaGo is an al­go­rithm called re­in­force­ment learn­ing that learns how to get op­ti­mal re­ward in var­i­ous states by mov­ing around a so­lu­tion space that the agent has not told be­fore­hand. In this paper, we will dis­cuss about de­sign­ing an par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tor by ap­ply­ing Deep Q-net­work al­go­rithm which is one kind of deep learn­ing re­in­force­ment learn­ing.

  Since the laser in­ven­tion, the ad­vent of X-ray Free Elec­tron Lasers (FEL) half a cen­tury later, opens new areas for mat­ter in­ves­ti­ga­tion. In par­al­lel, the spec­tac­u­lar de­vel­op­ment of laser plasma ac­cel­er­a­tion (LPA) with sev­eral GeV beam ac­cel­er­a­tion in an ex­tremely short dis­tance ap­pears very promis­ing. As a first step, the qual­i­fi­ca­tion of the LPA with a FEL ap­pli­ca­tion sets a first chal­lenge. Still, en­ergy spread and beam di­ver­gence do not meet the state-of-the-art per­for­mance of the con­ven­tional ac­cel­er­a­tors and have to be ma­nip­u­lated to ful­fill the FEL re­quire­ment. We re­port here on the un­du­la­tor spon­ta­neous emis­sion mea­sured after a trans­port ma­nip­u­la­tion elec­tron beam line, using vari­able per­ma­nent mag­net quadrupoles of vari­able strength for emit­tance hand­ing and a demix­ing chi­cane equipped with a slit for the en­ergy spread. Strate­gies of con­trol elec­tron beam po­si­tion and dis­per­sion have been elab­o­rated. The mea­sured un­du­la­tor ra­di­a­tion pro­vides an in­sight on the elec­tron beam prop­er­ties.

  Pre­vi­ous MBA stud­ies con­verged to a lat­tice com­posed of 7BA-6BA with a nat­ural emit­tance value of 200- 250 pm.​rad range. Due to the dif­fi­cul­ties of non-lin­ear op­ti­miza­tion in tar­get­ing lower emit­tance val­ues, a de­ci­sion was made to sym­metrize to­tally the ring with 20 iden­ti­cal cells hav­ing long free straight sec­tions longer than 4 m. A 7BA so­lu­tion elab­o­rated by adopt­ing the sex­tu­pole par­ing scheme with dis­per­sion bumps orig­i­nally de­vel­oped at the ESRF-EBS, in­clud­ing re­verse-bends, en­abling an emit­tance of 72 pm.​rad has been de­fined as the base­line lat­tice. The suf­fi­cient on-mo­men­tum dy­namic aper­ture ob­tained al­lows to con­sider off-axis in­jec­tion. The lin­ear and non­lin­ear dy­namic prop­er­ties of the lat­tice along with the ex­pected per­for­mance in terms of bril­liance and trans­verse co­her­ence are pre­sented. In par­tic­u­lar, the beta func­tions tuned down to 1 m in both trans­verse planes at the cen­ter of straight sec­tions allow match­ing dif­frac­tion lim­ited pho­tons up to 3 keV.

  The ISOL fa­cil­ity TRI­UMF-ISAC uti­lizes a num­ber of dif­fer­ent ion sources to pro­duce ra­dioac­tive ion beams. Most iso­topes are ion­ized using sur­face or res­o­nant laser ion­iza­tion, but these tech­niques are pro­hib­i­tively in­ef­fi­cient for species with high ion­iza­tion en­er­gies, such as noble gases and mol­e­cules. For these cases, the Forced Elec­tron Beam In­duced Arc Dis­charge (FEBIAD) ion source can be used. The FEBIAD uses a hot cath­ode to pro­duce elec­trons, which are ac­cel­er­ated through a po­ten­tial (< 200 V) into the anode vol­ume. Iso­topes en­ter­ing the re­sult­ing plasma un­dergo im­pact ion­iza­tion and are ex­tracted. Ef­forts are under way to bet­ter un­der­stand the physics and op­er­a­tion of the FEBIAD, using both the­ory and ex­per­i­ment. Re­cent mea­sure­ments and sim­u­la­tions on the ISAC FEBIAD will be re­ported here.

Di­elec­tric laser-dri­ven ac­cel­er­a­tors (DLAs) uti­liz­ing large elec­tric field from com­mer­cial laser sys­tem to ac­cel­er­ate par­ti­cles with high gra­di­ents in the range of GV/m have the po­ten­tial to re­al­ize a first par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tor ‘on a chip'. Dual-grat­ing struc­tures are one of the can­di­dates for DLAs. They can be mass-pro­duced using avail­able nanofab­ri­ca­tion tech­niques due to their sim­pler struc­tural geom­e­try com­pared to other types of DLAs. Apart from the re­sults from op­ti­miza­tion stud­ies that in­di­cate the best struc­tures, this con­tri­bu­tion also in­tro­duces two new schemes that can help fur­ther im­prove the ac­cel­er­at­ing ef­fi­ciency in dual-grat­ing struc­tures. One is to in­tro­duce a Bragg re­flec­tor that can boost the ac­cel­er­at­ing field in the chan­nel, the other ap­plies pulse-front-tilt op­er­a­tion for a laser beam to help ex­tend the in­ter­ac­tion length.

The An­tipro­ton De­cel­er­a­tor (AD) and Extra Low EN­ergy An­tipro­ton (ELENA) rings at CERN de­cel­er­ate beams con­tain­ing 107 an­tipro­tons. An ab­solute in­ten­sity mea­sure­ment of the cir­cu­lat­ing beam is es­sen­tial to mon­i­tor the op­er­a­tional ef­fi­ciency and to pro­vide im­por­tant cal­i­bra­tion data for the an­ti­mat­ter ex­per­i­ments. This paper re­views the de­sign of an op­er­a­tional Cryo­genic Cur­rent Com­para­tor (CCC) based on Su­per­con­duct­ing QUan­tum In­ter­fer­ence De­vice (SQUID) for cur­rent and in­ten­sity mon­i­tor­ing in the AD. Such a sys­tem has been op­er­a­tional through­out 2017, re­ly­ing on a stand-alone cryo­genic in­fra­struc­ture based on a pulse-tube cry­ocooler. Sys­tem per­for­mance is pre­sented and cor­re­lated with dif­fer­ent work­ing en­vi­ron­ments, con­firm­ing a res­o­lu­tion in the nanoam­pere range.

  A radio fre­quency (RF) pulse com­pres­sor had been de­signed for the X-band (11.424 GHz) high power test stands at the Ac­cel­er­a­tor Lab­o­ra­tory of Ts­inghua Uni­ver­sity. It is the SLED-I type pulse com­pres­sor, which uses a high qual­ity fac­tor cor­ru­gated cir­cu­lar cav­ity to store the RF power. An RF po­lar­izer cou­ples two quad­ra­ture modes into the cav­ity so that the pulse com­pres­sor needs only one cav­ity. The cav­ity im­ple­ments HE1-1-14 mode, with the Q0 of 115, 000 and the cou­pling fac­tor (β) of 3.23. The de­sign and the mi­crowave mea­sure­ment be­fore braz­ing of this pulse com­pres­sor are pre­sented in this paper.

  It has been re­vealed that a rel­a­tivis­tic plasma wave, hav­ing an ex­tremely large elec­tric field, may be uti­lized for the ac­cel­er­a­tion of plasma par­ti­cles. The large ac­cel­er­at­ing field gra­di­ent dri­ven by a plasma wave is the basic mo­ti­va­tion be­hind the ac­cel­er­a­tion mech­a­nism. Such a plasma wave can be ex­cited by a sin­gle laser in the form wake­field in laser-plasma in­ter­ac­tions. In this paper, we study the en­hance­ment of elec­tron ac­cel­er­a­tion by plasma wave in pres­ence of a laser* prop­a­gated per­pen­dic­u­lar to the prop­a­ga­tion of the wake wave. Elec­trons trapped in the plasma wave are ef­fec­tively ac­cel­er­ated by the ad­di­tional field of the laser com­bined with wake­field. The ad­di­tional res­o­nance pro­vided by the laser field con­tributes to the large en­ergy gain of elec­trons dur­ing ac­cel­er­a­tion. The res­o­nant en­hance­ment of elec­tron ac­cel­er­a­tion has been val­i­dated by sin­gle par­ti­cle sim­u­la­tions**. The de­pen­dence of en­ergy gain on laser in­ten­sity, laser spot size, ini­tial elec­tron en­ergy, and elec­tron tra­jec­to­ries have been in­ves­ti­gated.

Ex­ci­ta­tion of plasma wave by two lasers beat­ing in a col­li­sional dom­i­nated rel­a­tivis­tic plasma is in­ves­ti­gated. We study the en­ergy ex­change be­tween a plasma wave and two co-prop­a­gat­ing lasers in plasma in­clud­ing the ef­fect of rel­a­tivis­tic mass change and elec­tron-ion col­li­sions. Two lasers, hav­ing fre­quency dif­fer­ence equal to the plasma fre­quency, ex­cite a plasma beat wave res­o­nantly by the pon­dero­mo­tive force, which obeys the en­ergy and mo­men­tum con­ser­va­tion*. The rel­a­tivis­tic ef­fect and the elec­tron-ion col­li­sion both con­tribute in en­ergy ex­change be­tween the in­ter­act­ing waves in the beat-wave ac­cel­er­a­tion mech­a­nism. Our study shows that the ini­tial phase dif­fer­ence be­tween in­ter­act­ing waves gen­er­ates a phase mis­match be­tween lasers and plasma wave, which al­ters the rate of am­pli­tude vari­a­tions of the in­ter­act­ing waves and, hence, af­fects the en­ergy ex­change be­tween the in­ter­act­ing waves**. This study may be cru­cial to de­sign a com­pact plasma ac­cel­er­a­tor in low-in­ten­sity regime***.

  The ma­jor­ity of pho­to­cath­ode ma­te­ri­als in use in ac­cel­er­a­tor ap­pli­ca­tions have been dis­cov­ered em­pir­i­cally through trial and error with lit­tle guid­ance from ma­te­r­ial sci­ence cal­cu­la­tions. Al­ter­na­tively, one can en­vi­sion a process which is heav­ily guided by com­pu­ta­tional search using lat­est ad­vances in den­sity func­tional the­ory (DFT). In this work, the Ma­te­ri­al­sPro­ject data­base is searched for po­ten­tial sin­gle crys­tal pho­to­cath­odes that would be suit­able for ul­tralow emit­tance beam pro­duc­tion. The ma­te­ri­als in the data­base are ini­tially screened on the basis of ex­per­i­men­tal prac­ti­cal­ity. Fol­low­ing this, the ex­pected emit­tance is cal­cu­lated from the DFT com­puted band struc­tures for the pre-screened ma­te­ri­als using the con­ser­va­tion of en­ergy and trans­verse mo­men­tum dur­ing pho­toe­mis­sion. Based on such com­pu­ta­tional screen­ing, we pro­vide a list of po­ten­tial low emit­tance pho­to­cath­ode ma­te­ri­als which can be in­ves­ti­gated ex­per­i­men­tally as high bright­ness elec­tron sources.

  A mul­ti­pact­ing elec­tron gun (MEG) is a mi­cro-pulse elec­tron source based on sec­ondary elec­tron emis­sion in a res­o­nant mi­crowave cav­ity struc­ture for the gen­er­a­tion of low emit­tance elec­tron bunches with high rep­e­ti­tion rate. By the­o­ret­i­cal sim­u­la­tions a suit­able ra­dio-fre­quency gun de­sign at 3 GHz is es­tab­lished, si­mul­ta­ne­ously meet­ing the de­mands of bunch pro­duc­tion and am­pli­fi­ca­tion process as well as in­clud­ing the ef­fects of space charge and beam load­ing for the evo­lu­tion of a sta­ble beam. In this con­tri­bu­tion we show de­tailed sim­u­la­tion stud­ies of the im­pact of im­por­tant de­sign pa­ra­me­ters like me­chan­i­cal di­men­sions and choice of ma­te­r­ial on the av­er­age out­put cur­rent, which is in the order of sev­eral mA. For the ex­per­i­men­tal in­ves­ti­ga­tion a test setup is under con­struc­tion, which may demon­strate the ap­pli­ca­tion of MEG's as a se­ri­ous al­ter­na­tive or ad­di­tion to com­monly used elec­tron sources like thermionic and pho­to­cath­odes.

The ionos­phere plays a promi­nent role in the per­for­mance of crit­i­cal civil­ian and mil­i­tary com­mu­ni­ca­tion sys­tems. The key in­stru­ment in Ionos­pheric Mod­i­fi­ca­tion (IM) re­search is a pow­er­ful, ground-based, High Fre­quency (HF) source of elec­tro­mag­netic waves known as a heater. With a mo­bile heater, in­ves­ti­ga­tors would be able to con­duct IM re­search at dif­fer­ent lat­i­tudes with­out build­ing a costly per­ma­nent in­stal­la­tion. A new highly ef­fi­cient Megawatt class of Radio Fre­quency sources is re­quired to re­duce the over­all power de­mands on a fully de­ploy­able sys­tem. Such a source has been de­scribed pre­vi­ously*. Re­sults of a scaled ex­per­i­ment, using the elec­tron beam pro­duced by a grid­ded gun to drive an ex­ter­nal lumped el­e­ment cir­cuit for high ef­fi­ciency radio fre­quency gen­er­a­tion is pre­sented. The IOT gun pro­duces an elec­tron beam bunched at the dri­ving fre­quency that is then col­lected by an ex­ter­nal cir­cuit for im­ped­ance match­ing to the load. Re­sults showed that ef­fects such as the in­ter­nal re­sis­tance of the in­duc­tor and de­flec­tion of beam elec­trons by the in­duced RF volt­ages on the beam col­lec­tor are im­por­tant con­sid­er­a­tions to be in­cluded in the de­sign of a prac­ti­cal de­vice.

Mul­ti­ple Coulomb scat­ter­ing and en­ergy loss are well known phe­nom­ena ex­pe­ri­enced by charged par­ti­cles as they tra­verse a ma­te­r­ial. How­ever, from re­cent mea­sure­ments made by the MuS­cat col­lab­o­ra­tion, it is known that the avail­able sim­u­la­tion codes (GEANT4, for ex­am­ple) over­es­ti­mate the scat­ter­ing of muons in low Z ma­te­ri­als. This is of par­tic­u­lar in­ter­est to the Muon Ion­iza­tion Cool­ing Ex­per­i­ment* (MICE) col­lab­o­ra­tion which has the goal of mea­sur­ing the re­duc­tion of the emit­tance of a muon beam in­duced by en­ergy loss in low Z ab­sorbers. MICE took data with­out mag­netic field suit­able for mul­ti­ple scat­ter­ing mea­sure­ments in the au­tumn of 2015 with the ab­sorber ves­sel filled with xenon and in the spring of 2016 using a lithium-hy­dride ab­sorber. In the au­tumn of 2016 MICE took data with mag­netic fields on and stud­ied the en­ergy loss of muons in a lithium-hy­dride ab­sorber. These data are all com­pared with the Bethe-Bloch for­mula and with the pre­dic­tions of var­i­ous mod­els, in­clud­ing the de­fault GEANT4 model.

  The front end test stand (FETS) is a demon­stra­tor for a fu­ture high in­ten­sity, high duty fac­tor neg­a­tive hy­dro­gen (H') ion in­jec­tor. With the ra­dio-fre­quency quadru­pole (RFQ) near­ing in­stal­la­tion, the ion source has been re-com­mis­sioned in prepa­ra­tion for long-term op­er­a­tion. The 3 MeV beam ex­ceeds the ra­dio-ac­ti­va­tion en­ergy of com­mon en­gi­neer­ing ma­te­ri­als, so ra­di­a­tion shield­ing has been erected. A new in­ter­lock­ing scheme has been signed-off which in­te­grates the ex­ist­ing ion source high volt­age area with the new shield­ing ac­cess points, to en­sure that the ma­chine can op­er­ate safely dur­ing beam pro­duc­tion. The ex­ist­ing vac­uum arrange­ment has been ex­tended to in-clude the RFQ and medium en­ergy beam trans­port (MEBT) line. A new pro­gram­ma­ble logic con­troller (PLC) has been built to op­er­ate the en­tire vac­uum chain. The ion source high volt­age equip­ment has been up­graded to min­imise both spark rate and in­ten­sity. A col­li­mat­ing aper­ture and Fara­day cup have been in­stalled after the low en­ergy beam trans­port (LEBT) sec­tion to en­sure the beam is well aligned for in­jec­tion into the RFQ. Re-com­mis­sion­ing the ion source has given a rugged shake­down of all these new sys­tems be­fore beam is re­quired for the RFQ.

  The high rep­e­ti­tion-rate and high peak bril­liance of X-ray free-elec­tron laser (XFEL) allow study­ing many sci­en­tific ex­per­i­ments that have not been fea­si­ble. To re­al­ize such high per­for­mance, a sub-mi­cron beam trans­verse po­si­tion mea­sure­ment is re­quired. The cav­ity-type beam po­si­tion mon­i­tor (CBPM), as a non-de­struc­tive di­ag­nos­tics tool with high po­ten­tial in res­o­lu­tion per­for­mance, has been ap­plied in dif­fer­ent free elec­tron laser fa­cil­i­ties (FELs). In this re­search, an X-band high band­width CBPM has been stud­ied and used for pre-re­search on bunch-by-bunch di­ag­nos­tic for the pulsed FEL with high rep­e­ti­tion-rate. Its band­width reaches 300 MHz. De­sign con­sid­er­a­tions and sim­u­la­tion re­sults of the CBPM have been dis­cussed and pre­sented in this paper.

  For the elec­tron ac­cel­er­a­tor, it is hoped that the tra­jec-tory of the beam can pass through the mag­netic cen­ter of the quadru­pole to min­i­mize the or­bital mo­tion caused by the in­sta­bil­ity of the power sup­ply. The rel­a­tive de­vi­a­tion be­tween the mag­netic cen­ter of quadru­pole and the elec-tric cen­ter of ad­ja­cent BPM is mea­sured by elec­tron beam usu­ally in var­i­ous ac­cel­er­a­tor fa­cil­i­ties. But for the stripline BPM (SBPM) sys­tem, in order to achieve the best per­for­mance, the beam tra­jec­tory should also need to pass through the elec­tri­cal cen­ter of the SBPM sys­tem. In this paper, a beam based method to op­ti­mize the SBPM sys­tem was pro­posed, the in­ten­sity of the mag­net power was scanned to change the beam po­si­tion in two-di­men­sion and com­bine the change trend of the sum sig­nal of ad­ja­cent SBPM to find out the rel­a­tive de­vi­a­tion of BPM elec­tric cen­ter and me­chan­i­cal cen­ter. Rel­e­vant beam ex­per­i­ment work on the Shang­hai Soft X-ray free elec­tron laser (SXFEL) and the ben­e­fit of this method will be ad­dressed as well.

The elec­tron bunches are length­ened with cav­ity phases set off-crest for bet­ter lon­gi­tu­di­nal sep­a­ra­tion and then mi­cro-bunched with a slit-mask in­stalled in the chi­cane. We car­ried out the ex­per­i­ments with 30 MeV elec­tron beams and de­tected sig­nals of the mi­cro-bunch­ing using a skew quadru­pole mag­net in the chi­cane. In this paper, the de­tails of mi­cro-bunch beam pro­duc­tion, the de­tec­tion of mi­cro-bunch­ing and com­par­i­son with sim­u­la­tions are de­scribed.

Fill­ing pat­tern af­fects var­i­ous op­er­a­tion per­for­mance of a syn­chro­tron light source. A new di­ag­nos­tic beam charge mon­i­tor (BCM) with high band­width multi-chan­nels dig­i­tizer was de­vel­oped to per­form bunch-by-bunch charge mea­sure­ment and record fill­ing pat­tern for SSRF stor­age ring. Sig­nals picked up from but­ton elec-trodes were sam­pled syn­chro­nously with RF fre­quency, and IQ (In-phase and Quad­ra­ture phase) sam­pling meth-od was em­ployed for noise-fil­ter­ing and phase in­de­pend-ence cal­i­bra­tion. Lay­out and eval­u­a­tion ex­per­i­ment of the sys­tem are pre­sented in this paper.

  Shang­hai Soft X-ray Free Elec­tron Laser (SXFEL) is a test fa­cil­ity to study key tech­nolo­gies and new FEL physics. In order to de­liver high qual­ity elec­tron beams to the un­du­la­tor sec­tion, a high res­o­lu­tion (bet­ter than 10 mi­crons with 200pC beam) Linac beam po­si­tion mon­i­tor sys­tem has been de­vel­oped. The sys­tem con­sists of stripline pickup and cus­tom de­signed DBPM proces­sor. The hard­ware and soft­ware ar­chi­tec­ture will be in­tro­duced in this paper. The on­line per­for­mance eval­u­a­tion re­sults will be pre­sented as well.

  Beam in­sta­bil­ity is a se­ri­ous prob­lem for physics in beam di­ag­no­sis tech­nol­ogy. With re­gard to the eval­u­a­tion of lon­gi­tu­di­nal phase os­cil­la­tions dur­ing the tran­sient in­jec­tion process, bunch-by-bunch phase mea­sure­ment is a use­ful tool for study­ing the be­hav­ior of the re­filled bunches. A new up­graded beam phase mon­i­tor sys­tem with 1.2GHz band­width PXI wave­form dig­i­tizer has been de­vel­oped at Shang­hai syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion source (SSRF). Bunch-by-bunch phase in­for­ma­tion, re­trieved from but­ton pickup sig­nals, is cal­cu­lated by the zero-cross­ing de­tec­tion method with the best phase res­o­lu­tion of 0.4ps. The re­filled bunches can be sep­a­rated from the stored ones, and the lon­gi­tu­di­nal off­set of each re­filled bunch has been mea­sured. Sev­eral groups of ex­per­i­ments have been per­formed to ver­ify the re­peata­bil­ity of bunch-by-bunch phase mea­sure­ment, and some re­sults re­gard­ing re­filled bunches will be dis­cussed in this paper.

  The high-gain free elec­tron lasers have given sci­en­tists hopes for new sci­en­tific dis­cov­er­ies in many fron­tier re­search areas. The Shang­hai Co­her­ent Light Fa­cil­ity (SCLF) was pro­posed by the cen­tral gov­ern­ment of China on April 2017, which is a quasi-con­tin­u­ous wave hard X-ray free elec­tron laser fa­cil­ity. The con­trol sys­tem is re­spon­si­ble for the fa­cil­ity-wide de­vice con­trol, data ac­qui­si­tion, ma­chine pro­tec­tion, high level data­base or ap­pli­ca­tion, as well as net­work and com­put­ing plat­form. It will be mainly based on EPICS to reach the bal­ance be­tween the high per­for­mance and costs of main­te­nance. The lat­est tech­nol­ogy will be adopted for the high rep­e­ti­tion rate data ac­qui­si­tion and feed­back sys­tem. The de­tails of the con­trol sys­tem de­sign will be re­ported in this paper.

  Since 2009 an X-ray pin­hole cam­era that has been used to pre­sent the trans­verse beam size and emit­tance on di­ag­nos­tic beam line of the stor­age ring at SSRF. The real beam size is a func­tion of the image size of the CCD cam­era and point spread func­tion (PSF) of the sys­tem. The per­for­mance of the mea­sure­ment of the trans­verse elec­tron beam size is given by the width of the PSF of X-ray pin­hole cam­era. The con­tri­bu­tions to the PSF width are the PSF of pin­hole it­self due to dif­frac­tion, and the PSF of the screen and cam­era. An X-ray mono­chro­matic sys­tem has been es­tab­lished to mea­sure the PSF ac­cu­rately, and de­crease the vari­a­tion in the beam size be­tween the the­o­ret­i­cal val­ues and the mea­sured ones at SSRF. In this ar­ti­cle, both cal­cu­lated and mea­sured PSF of quasi-mono­chro­matic X-ray pin­hole cam­era will be pre­sented in de­tail.

  A dig­i­tal BPM proces­sor has been de­vel­oped at 2016 in SINAP for DCLS and SXFEL, which are FEL fa­cil­i­ties built in China. The stripline BPM and cav­ity BPM proces­sors share the same hard­ware plat­form and firmware, but the pro­cess­ing al­go­rithms im­ple­mented in EPICS IOC on the ARM CPU are dif­fer­ent. The ca­pa­bil­ity of the ARM lim­its the pro­cess­ing speed to 10 bunches per sec­ond. Now the bunch rate of DCLS and SXFEL are going to in­crease from 10Hz to 50Hz. To meet the higher pro­cess­ing speed re­quire­ments, the proces­sor firmware and soft­ware are up­graded in 2017. All BPM sig­nal pro­cess­ing al­go­rithms are im­ple­mented in FPGA, and EPICS IOC reads re­sults only. After the up­grade, the pro­cess­ing speed reach 120 bunches per sec­ond. And this is also a good prepa­ra­tion for fu­ture Shang­hai Hard-X ray FEL, which bunch rate is about 1MHz.

  In­jec­tion tran­sient process hap­pens every 5-10 min­utes in stor­age ring dur­ing nor­mal top-up op­er­at­ing mode at SSRF, which is a proper win­dow for ma­chine sta­tus and in­jec­tion per­for­mance eval­u­a­tion. In the re­cent year, a bunch-by-bunch beam size mea­sure­ment sys­tem has been im­ple­mented at SSRF, which has the ca­pa­bil­ity to offer trans­verse bunch-by-bunch po­si­tion and size in­for­ma­tion and is a pow­er­ful tool for in­jec­tion study. In this paper, we sum­ma­rize three in­jec­tion study re­sults from July 2017 to April 2018, in­clud­ing be­ta­tron os­cil­la­tion am­pli­tude, spec­trum, hor­i­zon­tal tune and damp­ing time com­par­i­son. The os­cil­la­tion am­pli­tude and tem­po­ral be­hav­ior of re­cent in­jec­tion are all bet­ter than re­sults be­fore con­tributed to the in­jec­tion op­ti­miza­tion work dur­ing main­te­nance in 2018 win­ter. In ad­di­tion, the prin­ci­pal com­po­nent analy­sis method is also ap­plied to fur­ther study the in­jec­tion be­hav­ior in turn-by-turn or bunch-by-bunch di­rec­tion to the re­filled bucket.

  The Su­perKEKB in­jec­tor is a more than 600 m J-shaped LINAC. The re­quire­ment of the RF phase re­fer-ence sta­bil­ity is 0.1 de­gree (RMS) at 2856 MHz for Su­perKEKB PHASE-2 com­mis­sion­ing. In order to clari-fy and im­prove the ref­er­ence line per­for­mance, the RF ref­er­ence phase sta­bil­ity is mea­sured. The phase noise of the RF ref­er­ence at each sec­tor is shown in this paper. A new phase mon­i­tor sys­tem is im­ple­mented to mea­sure the short-term sta­bil­ity and long-term drift due to the tem­per­a­ture and hu­mid­ity fluc­tu­a­tions in the kly­stron gallery.

  MYRRHA ADS (Ac­cel­er­a­tor Dri­ven Sys­tem), the pro­to­type of a nu­clear re­ac­tor dri­ven by a par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tor, is being re­al­ized through a staged ap­proach.

Ac­cel­er­a­tor com­po­nents are being de­liv­ered within in­ter­na­tional semi-in­dus­trial part­ner­ships. Cur­rently the RFQ, MYRRHA's first RF struc­ture, is being in­tro­duced. It will be fol­lowed by the first Medium En­ergy Beam Trans­port (MEBT1) and sev­eral nor­mal-con­duct­ing CH cav­i­ties.

  The Ad­vanced Rare Iso­tope & Elec­tron Linac (ARIEL) fa­cil­ity at TRI­UMF con­sists of an elec­tron lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor (e-linac) ca­pa­ble of cur­rents up to 10 mA at an en­ergy of 30 MeV, giv­ing a total avail­able beam power of 300 kW. In ad­di­tion, the e-linac can be run in pulsed op­er­a­tion down to beam pulses of 5 μs, up to CW. A Ma­chine Pro­tec­tion Sys­tem (MPS) is re­quired to pro­tect the ac­cel­er­a­tor from haz­ardous beam spills and must turn off the elec­tron gun within 10 μs of de­tec­tion. The MPS con­sists of two types of beam loss mon­i­tors, a front-end beam loss mon­i­tor board de­vel­oped at TRI­UMF, and EPICS-based con­trols to es­tab­lish op­er­at­ing modes. A trip time of 10 μs has been demon­strated, along with a 106 dy­namic range and sen­si­tiv­ity down to 100 pA. This paper is fo­cused on the cur­rent sta­tus of the beam loss mon­i­tor de­tec­tion sys­tem.

  Con­trol room ap­pli­ca­tions are pro­grams that in­ter­face with con­trol sys­tems and beam physics mod­els. These tools range from real-time di­ag­nos­tic vi­su­al­iza­tions to post-pro­cess­ing data analy­sis. At TRI­UMF, the con­cept of web-based con­trol room ap­pli­ca­tions has been adopted to ad­vance the ca­pa­bil­i­ties of these ap­pli­ca­tions and fa­cil­i­tate op­er­a­tions. This on­line model takes ad­van­tage of server-based con­tin­u­ous in­te­gra­tion and a cen­tral­ized mid­dle­ware layer. Con­tin­u­ous in­te­gra­tion of server-based ap­pli­ca­tions al­lows for easy de­ploy­ment and main­te­nance. A cen­tral­ized mid­dle­ware layer al­lows a sin­gle ap­pli­ca­tion to work for many dif­fer­ent ac­cel­er­a­tor con­fig­u­ra­tions. Some mo­ti­vat­ing ex­am­ples of web-based ap­pli­ca­tions cur­renly being de­vel­oped are pre­sented, demon­strat­ing this on­line ap­proach to be an ef­fec­tive method for de­ploy­ing ap­pli­ca­tions for use in the con­trol room and be­yond.

  The TRI­UMF CANa­dian Rare iso­tope fa­cil­ity with Elec­tron Beam ion source (CAN­REB) High Res­o­lu­tion Sep­a­ra­tor (HRS) has been de­signed to sep­a­rate rare iso­topes with mass/charge dif­fer­ences of only one part in 20,000 for beams with trans­verse emit­tances of 3 μm. To reach this res­o­lu­tion, high-or­der aber­ra­tions must be cor­rected using a mul­ti­pole cor­rec­tor. From ex­pe­ri­ence, tun­ing such a mul­ti­pole is very chal­leng­ing. The unique geom­e­try of our mul­ti­pole mo­ti­vated a novel tun­ing method based on de­ter­min­ing the de­sired pole volt­ages di­rectly from mea­sured em­mi­tance. This novel tun­ing al­go­rithm is pre­sented along­side a web ap­pli­ca­tion which has been de­vel­oped in an­tic­i­pa­tion of the com­mis­sion­ing of the HRS.

  Prepa­ra­tion for ex­per­i­ments, which typ­i­cally run for one to two weeks in the ISAC-II fa­cil­ity at TRI­UMF, re­quires some amount of over­head, lim­it­ing the ef­fi­ciency of the fa­cil­ity. Ef­forts are un­der­way to im­prove the ISAC-II linac model to re­duce this over­head while also im­prov­ing the qual­ity of the de­liv­ered ion beam. This can be ac­com­plished with beam-based mea­sure­ments and cor­rec­tions of align­ment, cav­ity gra­di­ents, focal strengths, and more. A re­view of the pre­sent state of the linac will be given, in­clud­ing mea­sured mis-align­ments and other fac­tors that af­fect the re­pro­ducibil­ity of tunes. The out­look on ex­pected im­prove­ments will also be sum­ma­rized, in­clud­ing progress on the au­to­matic phas­ing of cav­i­ties with a focus on in­te­gra­tion to the High Level Ap­pli­ca­tion plat­form being de­vel­oped at TRI­UMF. Lastly, a sum­mary will be given on the ex­pected par­a­digm shift in the tun­ing ap­proach taken: mov­ing from re-ac­tive tun­ing by op­er­a­tors or beam de­liv­ery ex­perts to pro-ac­tive mea­sure­ments and in­ves­ti­ga­tions, ver­sion-con­trolled tunes, and con­tin­u­ous feed­back from beam physi­cists.

  A slid­ing mode ex­tremum seek­ing al­go­rithm to tune the res­o­nance fre­quency was im­ple­mented in two of TRI­UMF's DTL tanks. The tun­ing al­go­rithm searches for the min­i­mum re­flected power point and was de­vel­oped to elim­i­nate the highly tem­per­a­ture de­pen­dent phase mea­sure­ment, which was pre­vi­ously used to tune the res­o­nance fre­quency. Short and long term mea­sure­ment re­sults show that the tun­ing al­go­rithm com­pen­sates for the RF heat­ing ef­fect as well as for di­ur­nal tem­per­a­ture vari­a­tions. Re­flected power mea­sure­ments of TRI­UMF's DTL tank 3 were taken for both cases of op­er­at­ing the phase based tun­ing sys­tem and the re­flected power based tun­ing sys­tem, with an out­come of a higher tun­ing ac­cu­racy of the newly de­vel­oped sys­tem. An­other ad­van­tage is a quick cav­ity start up time, as the re­flected power based sys­tem does not rely on a ref­er­ence set point which has do be ad­justed man­u­ally. The slid­ing mode ex­tremum seek­ing con­trol loop is cur­rently com­mis­sioned in fur­ther room tem­per­a­ture cav­i­ties of the TRI­UMF's ISAC I fa­cil­ity.

It­er­a­tive learn­ing con­trol (ILC) is an open loop con­trol strat­egy that im­proves the per­for­mance of a repet­i­tive sys­tem through learn­ing from pre­vi­ous it­er­a­tions. ILC can be used to com­pen­sate for a repet­i­tive dis­tur­bance like the beam load­ing ef­fect in res­onators. As­sum­ing that the beam load­ing dis­tur­bance is iden­ti­cal for all it­er­a­tions, the learn­ing law can be non-causal; it can an­tic­i­pate the dis­tur­bance and pre­emp­tively coun­ter­act its ef­fect. In this work, we aim to use ILC to can­cel beam load­ing ef­fect on am­pli­tude and phase. Feed­back con­trollers are not fast enough for this pur­pose. A nor­mal feed for­ward con­troller may not be suf­fi­cient as well if there is a dif­fer­ence be­tween the feed for­ward sig­nal and the beam load­ing cur­rent. There­fore, the goal is to use ILC to adap­tively can­cel the beam load­ing ef­fect.

  Closed-Or­bit Bi­lin­ear-Ex­po­nen­tial Analy­sis (COBEA) is an al­go­rithm to de­com­pose mon­i­tor-cor­rec­tor re­sponse ma­tri­ces into (scaled) beta op­tics val­ues, phase ad­vances, scaled dis­per­sion and be­ta­tron tunes. No ex­plicit mag­netic lat­tice model is re­quired for COBEA - only the se­quence of mon­i­tors and cor­rec­tors along the beam path (no lengths, no strengths ap­proach). To ob­tain ab­solute beta val­ues, the length of one drift space can be pro­vided as op­tional input. In this work, the ap­pli­ca­tion of COBEA to the DELTA stor­age ring, op­er­ated by TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity, is dis­cussed, and its re­sults for be­ta­tron tunes and scaled dis­per­sion are com­pared with those of con­ven­tional, di­rect mea­sure­ment meth­ods. COBEA is also put in a his­tor­i­cal per­spec­tive to other di­ag­nos­tic al­go­rithms. Im­prove­ments in the Python im­ple­men­ta­tion of COBEA, which is avail­able as free soft­ware, are pre­sented. Due to COBEA being rel­a­tively mod­est re­gard­ing its re­quire­ments on input data re­spec­tively hard­ware, it should be ap­plic­a­ble to the ma­jor­ity of ex­ist­ing stor­age rings.

  In re­cent years, ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence has be­come one of the buzz­words in the field of con­trol­ling, mon­i­tor­ing and op­ti­miz­ing com­plex ma­chines. Par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tors be­long to this class of ma­chines in par­tic­u­lar. In ac­cel­er­a­tor con­trols one has to deal with a va­ri­ety of time-vary­ing pa­ra­me­ters, non­lin­ear dy­nam­ics as well as a lot of small, com­pound­ing er­rors. There­fore, to cope with these tasks and to achieve higher per­for­mance, par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tors re­quire new ad­vanced strate­gies in con­trols and feed­back sys­tems. Ma­chine learn­ing through (deep) neural net­works, ge­netic al­go­rithms, swarm in­tel­li­gence and adap­tive con­trols are some of the pro­posed ap­proaches. In­creased com­pu­ta­tional ca­pa­bil­ity and the avail­abil­ity of large data sets in com­bi­na­tion with bet­ter the­o­ret­i­cal un­der­stand­ing of new net­work ar­chi­tec­tures and train­ing par­a­digms allow for promis­ing ap­proaches for novel de­vel­op­ments. This re­port aims to dis­cuss the state of the art tech­niques and pre­sents ideas for pos­si­ble ap­pli­ca­tions of in­tel­li­gent con­trols at the syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion source DELTA.

The S-DALINAC is run­ning in re­cir­cu­lat­ing op­er­a­tion since 1991. In 2015/2016 a major up­grade was per­formed by adding a third re­cir­cu­la­tion beam line. The ver­sa­til­ity of this re­cir­cu­la­tion beam line en­ables a phase shift of the beam of up to 360° of the RF phase. The re­quired range of 10 cm for a 3 GHz RF fre­quency is re­al­ized by a path length ad­just­ment sys­tem. A com­ple­men­tary op­er­a­tion in nor­mal scheme (sin­gle-pass, once or thrice re­cir­cu­lat­ing with ac­cel­er­a­tion) or ERL mode (once or twice) is pos­si­ble by ap­pro­pri­ate ad­just­ment of this sys­tem. After in­stal­la­tion this sys­tem was aligned prop­erly and its func­tion­al­ity and stroke was checked with­out beam. The sys­tem was com­mis­sioned by mea­sur­ing the change of the beam phase in de­pen­dency of the set­ting of the path length ad­just­ment sys­tem. The com­ple­men­tary usage of the newly in­stalled re­cir­cu­la­tion for once re­cir­cu­lat­ing with ac­cel­er­a­tion and once re­cir­cu­lat­ing with ERL mode has been shown suc­cess­fully in au­tumn 2017. This con­tri­bu­tion will pro­vide an overview on the path length ad­just­ment sys­tem and the first run of the once re­cir­cu­lat­ing ERL mode of the S-DALINAC.

The planned SIS100 heavy ion syn­chro­tron at the GSI Helmholtzzen­trum für Schw­e­ri­o­nen­forschung will pos­sess twenty fer­rite ac­cel­er­at­ing cav­i­ties in its final stage of ex­ten­sion. As at in­jec­tion and at flat top dur­ing slow ex­trac­tion of the planned ac­cel­er­a­tion cy­cles the RF volt­age will be rel­a­tively low, not all cav­i­ties will be ac­tive in this part of op­er­a­tion. It is im­por­tant to analyse the im­pact of the in­ac­tive cav­i­ties on the over­all RF volt­age and sub­se­quently their im­pli­ca­tion on the lon­gi­tu­di­nal par­ti­cle dy­nam­ics. Clas­si­cal ap­proaches for re­duc­ing the beam im­ped­ance con­sist of ac­tive de­tun­ing of the cav­i­ties to pre-de­scribed park­ing fre­quen­cies. The fact that two out of ten buck­ets have to stay empty in all SIS100 sce­nar­ios is of par­tic­u­lar in­ter­est as ad­di­tional fre­quency com­po­nents ap­pear in the ex­ci­ta­tory beam cur­rent, which have to be con­sid­ered when the cav­ity is de­tuned. There­fore multi-cav­ity par­ti­cle track­ing sim­u­la­tions, con­sist­ing of twenty cav­i­ties and their at­tached LLRF con­trol sys­tems, are car­ried out in order to analyse dif­fer­ent pos­si­bil­i­ties to min­i­mize the im­pact on the beam dy­nam­ics and emit­tance growth.

  Dur­ing ac­cel­er­a­tion in the heavy-ion syn­chro­trons SIS18/SIS100 at GSI/FAIR lon­gi­tu­di­nal beam os­cil­la­tions are ex­pected to occur. To re­duce lon­gi­tu­di­nal emit­tance blow-up, dedi- cated LLRF beam feed­back sys­tems are planned. To date, damp­ing of lon­gi­tu­di­nal beam os­cil­la­tions has been de­mon- strated in SIS18 ma­chine ex­per­i­ments with a 3-tap fil­ter con­troller (e.g. *), which is ro­bust in re­gard to con­trol pa- ram­e­ters and also to noise. On ac­cel­er­a­tion ramps the con­trol pa­ra­me­ters have to be ad­justed to the vary­ing syn­chro­tron fre­quency. Pre­vi­ous re­sults from beam ex­per­i­ments at GSI in­di­cate that a pro­por­tional tun­ing rule for one pa­ra­me­ter and an in­versely pro­por­tional tun­ing rule for a sec­ond pa­ra­me­ter is fea­si­ble, but the ob­tained damp­ing rate may not be opti- mal for all syn­chro­tron fre­quen­cies dur­ing the ramp. In this work, macro-par­ti­cle sim­u­la­tions are per­formed to eval­u­ate, whether it is suf­fi­cient to ad­just the con­trol pa­ra­me­ters pro- por­tion­ally (in­versely pro­por­tion­ally) to the change in the lin­ear syn­chro­tron fre­quency, or if it is nec­es­sary to take more pa- ram­e­ters, such as bunch-length and syn­chro­nous phase, into ac­count to achieve sta­bil­ity and a con­sid­er­able high damp­ing rate for ex­cited lon­gi­tu­di­nal di­pole beam os­cil­la­tions. This is done for sin­gle- and dual-har­monic ac­cel­er­a­tion ramps.

Fibre based Op­ti­cal Beam Loss Mon­i­tors (oBLMs) are on-line de­vices used in-situ to mea­sure losses along a beam-line. The tech­nol­ogy is based on the de­tec­tion of Cherenkov ra­di­a­tion, pro­duced in­side quartz fi­bres placed along­side the beampipe, from the in­ter­ac­tion of sec­ondary show­ers gen­er­ated from losses hit­ting the vac­uum pipe. This con­tri­bu­tion pre­sents on­go­ing de­vel­op­ments of an oBLM sys­tem in­stalled along the Com­pact Lin­ear Ac­cel­er­a­tor for Re­search and Ap­pli­ca­tions (CLARA). The oBLM sys­tem con­sists of 4 chan­nels which al­lows for sub-me­tre loss res­o­lu­tion with two di­men­sional cov­er­age along the en­tirety of the beam line, as op­posed to con­ven­tional lo­calised BLM sys­tems. The sys­tem was first com­mis­sioned to mea­sure dark cur­rent from the in­jec­tor. The abil­ity of the sys­tem to lo­cate lon­gi­tu­di­nal po­si­tions of known beam loss lo­ca­tions has also been mea­sured and has shown ex­cel­lent agree­ment. We pre­sent mea­sure­ments ac­quired from the de­tec­tor dur­ing reg­u­lar op­er­a­tion and dur­ing ded­i­cated beam tests. We also dis­cuss the in­cor­po­ra­tion of the mon­i­tor into the ac­cel­er­a­tor di­ag­nos­tics sys­tem and its use in as­sist­ing ac­cel­er­a­tor char­ac­ter­i­sa­tion and per­for­mance.

  RF break­down are the main lim­i­ta­tion for the ap­pli­ca­tion of high gra­di­ent struc­tures. Higher fre­quen­cies and shorter pulse length ben­e­fit the de­sign of ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­ture for the break­down thresh­old of sur­face field is Es=f1/2 τ-1/4. Power source which gen­er­ates very short V-band pulse with nearly hun­dred megawatt is now avail­able. The paper pre­sents the analy­sis of a V-band di­elec­tric ac­cel­er­a­tion struc­ture and power source. Fu­ture plan about RF trans­mis­sion and power cou­pling of the whole struc­ture will be dis­cussed.

The Jef­fer­son Lab Elec­tron-Ion Col­lider (JLEIC) de­sign re­lies on cool­ing of the ion beam with bunched elec­tron beam. The bunched beam cooler com­plex con­sists of a high cur­rent mag­ne­tized elec­tron source, an en­ergy re­cov­ery linac, a cir­cu­lat­ing ring, and a pair of long so­le­noids where the cool­ing takes place. A non-in­va­sive real time mon­i­tor­ing sys­tem is highly de­sired to quan­tify elec­tron beam mag­ne­ti­za­tion. The au­thors pro­pose to use a pas­sive cop­per RF cav­ity in TE011 mode as such a mon­i­tor. In this paper, we will show the mech­a­nism and scal­ing law of this de­vice, as well as the de­sign and test­ing re­sults of the pro­to­type cav­ity.

  A pixel ion­iza­tion cham­ber for beam pro­file mon­i­tor (BPrM) is de­signed and man­u­fac­tured by a new tech­nol­ogy .The de­tec­tor will be in­stalled on the beam line just up­stream of the tar­get de­vice of XiPAF. It has many ad­van­tages such as high res­o­lu­tion, high ra­di­a­tion hard­ness and it can work as a real-time mon­i­tor to show the dis­tri­b­u­tion of the de­liv­ered rel­a­tive dose. The physics de­sign and con­struc­tion of the de­tec­tor are de­scribed in this paper, and its per­for­mances are tested of­fline.

Co­her­ent pulse stack­ing (CPS) is a new time-do­main co­her­ent ad­di­tion tech­nique that stacks sev­eral op­ti­cal pulses into a sin­gle out­put pulse, en­abling high pulse en­ergy and high av­er­age power. We model the CPS as a dig­i­tal fil­ter in the Z do­main, and im­ple­ment two de­ter­min­is­tic al­go­rithms ex­tract­ing the cav­ity phase from lim­ited data where only the pulse in­ten­sity is avail­able. In a 2-stage 15-pulse CPS sys­tem, each op­ti­cal cav­ity is sta­bi­lized at an in­di­vid­u­ally-pre­scribed round-trip phase with 0.7 deg and 2.1 deg RMS phase er­rors for Stage 1 and Stage 2 re­spec­tively. Op­ti­cal cav­ity phase con­trol with nm ac­cu­racy en­sures 1.2% in­ten­sity sta­bil­ity of the stacked pulse over 12 hours.

  The Low Level Radio Fre­quency con­trol (LLRF) sys­tem mea­sures the RF sig­nals from the ac­cel­er­a­tor tube, com­pares it with the phase ref­er­ence re­ceived from the tim­ing dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem, and pro­vides the drive sig­nal to the high power RF sys­tem to pro­vide syn­chro­nized RF volt­age to the elec­tron beam. Usu­ally, the LLRF sys­tem can achieve a ~50 fs RMS phase jit­ter which is lim­ited by the mi­crowave de­vices. The phase noise arise from the high volt­age vari­a­tion of the high power sys­tem will sig­nif­i­cantly in­crease phase noise from low level RF sig­nal to high power RF. A high volt­age feed for­ward sub­sys­tem is pro­posed to deal with the phase noise caused by the high volt­age jit­ter of the mod­u­la­tor. The demo sys­tem is de­polyed in Thom­son scat­ter­ing X-ray source (TTX).and the pri­mary ex­per­i­ment re­sult anaylse is dis­cussed.

  Coax­ial cable based so­lu­tion is one of the most im­por­tant scheme in Phase Ref­er­ence Dis­tri­b­u­tion Sys­tem. A novel dou­ble side­band-based phase av­er­ag­ing line has been de­vel­oped in Ts­inghua ac­cel­er­a­tor lab. The sender chas­sis gen­er­ates the 2856 MHz sig­nal as the for­ward sig­nal and re­ceives the 2856 MHz sig­nal and the re­flected dou­ble side­band sig­nal from the re­ceiver. The for­ward sig­nal is phase-locked with the ref­er­ence sig­nal, and the for­ward sig­nal and the side­band sig­nal are ad­justed by the FPGA vir­tual delay line. The pre­lim­i­nary ex­per­i­ments re­sult shows the phase sta­bil­ity can achieve about 1% by sig­nal dis­torted by the phase shifter.

In the de­vel­op­ment of low charge, sin­gle-shot di­ag­nos­tics for high bright­ness elec­tron beams, Trans­mis­sion Elec­tron Mi­croscopy (TEM) grids pre­sent cer­tain ad­van­tages com­pared to pep­per pot masks due to higher beam trans­mis­sion. In this paper, we de­vel­oped a set of cri­te­ria to op­ti­mize the res­o­lu­tion of a point pro­jec­tion image. How­ever, this con­fig­u­ra­tion of the beam with re­spect to the grid and de­tec­tor po­si­tions im­plies the mea­sure­ment of a strongly cor­re­lated phase space which en­tails a large sen­si­tiv­ity to small mea­sure­ment er­rors in re­triev­ing the pro­jected emit­tance. We dis­cuss the pos­si­bil­ity of an al­ter­na­tive scheme by in­sert­ing a mag­netic fo­cus­ing sys­tem in be­tween the grid and the de­tec­tor, sim­i­lar to an elec­tron mi­cro­scope de­sign, to re­con­struct the phase space when the beam is fo­cused on the grid.

The Uni­ver­sity of Mary­land Elec­tron Ring (UMER) has the flex­i­bil­ity to set up al­ter­na­tive lat­tices for dif­fer­ent re­search ex­per­i­ments, in­clud­ing non­lin­ear op­tics stud­ies using oc­tupoles. Each al­ter­na­tive lat­tice re­quires an ac­cept­able steer­ing so­lu­tion for use in ex­per­i­ments. Ex­ist­ing beam-based align­ment tools can take a sig­nif­i­cant amount of time to run and be­come dif­fi­cult to process with a low num­ber of BPMs. The Ro­bust Con­ju­gate Di­rec­tional Search (RCDS) op­ti­mizer* is used to quickly ob­tain steer­ing so­lu­tions for dif­fer­ent lat­tice con­fig­u­ra­tions and has been adopted for beam steer­ing at UMER. Steer­ing mag­nets are op­ti­mized on­line to re­duce scrap­ing, cor­rect equi­lib­rium or­bits, and in­crease beam life­times. This study pre­sents the ap­pli­ca­tion of the op­ti­mizer at UMER.

  Eth­er­net POW­ER­LINK (EPL) is a com­mu­ni­ca­tion pro­file for Real-Time Eth­er­net. The com­mu­ni­ca­tion pro­file meets real-time de­mands for the dis­trib­uted sys­tem com­posed of mul­ti­ple con­trollers.

Tune is one of the most im­por­tant pa­ra­me­ters of the elec­tron stor­age ring, of which the tune mea­sure­ment sys­tem is an in­te­gral com­po­nent. In this paper, the de­sign of a new tune mea­sure­ment sys­tem based on BBQ (base band tune), is pre­sented. Some ex­per­i­ments are per­formed to test this sys­tem. The new sys­tem is com­pared with the orig­i­nal sys­tem and the TBT (turn-by-turn) method re­spec­tively. The ob­tained re­sults il­lus­trate higher ac­cu­racy and higher sta­bil­ity for the new sys­tem. A new ap­proach of cal­cu­lat­ing the be­ta­tron os­cil­la­tion am­pli­tude is pro­posed, and the be­ta­tron os­cil­la­tion am­pli­tudes in the nor­mal run­ning stage for the HLS-II stor­age ring are es­ti­mated at 95 nm (hor­i­zon­tal) and 60 nm (ver­ti­cal).

But­ton BPM is being de­signed for the HALS stor­age ring, which is a dif­frac­tion-lim­ited stor­age ring (DLSR) lo­cated at the NSRL in Hefei city. Since beam size is very small, the re­quired res­o­lu­tion of 50 nm for beam po­si­tion mea­sure­ment need to be ob­tained. The pa­ra­me­ters of the HALS But­ton BPM are ini­tially de­ter­mined. Ac­cord­ing to the­o­ret­i­cal for­mu­las, elec­trode in­duced sig­nal is cal­cu­lated and the re­la­tion­ship be­tween elec­trode in­duced sig­nal and beam cur­rent is ob­tained. Sig­nal to noise ratio(SNR)of the HALS But­ton BPM is cal­cu­lated with dif­fer­ent beam cur­rent when the re­quired res­o­lu­tion is 50 nm. The re­sults show that the SNR is well when beam cur­rent is very low. In ad­di­tion, the ef­fects of BPM RF fre­quency and but­ton elec­trode ra­dius on SNR are an­a­lyzed.

  The FE­LiChEM is a new in­frared free elec­tron laser (IR-FEL) fa­cil­ity, which is being built in the Na­tional Syn­chro­tron Ra­di­a­tion Lab­o­ra­tory (NSRL) in Heifei, China. The fa­cil­ity will pro­vide con­tin­u­ously tun­able pulsed laser ra­di­a­tion cov­er­ing the mid-in­frared (MIR) wave­length range from 2.5 to 50μm and the far-in­frared (FIR) range from 40 to 200μm. The out­put macro pulsed laser width is 5-10μs and pulsed laser power is 2-10kW. In order to eval­u­ate pulsed laser sat­u­ra­tion time and FEL op­ti­cal cav­ity losses, the rise time and fall time of macro pulsed laser need to be mea­sured. Laser in­ten­sity mea­sure­ment sys­tem for the FE­LiChEM is being de­signed. This sys­tem is com­posed of op­ti­cal sys­tem, py­ro­elec­tric de­tec­tor and elec­tron­ics. Each mod­ule will be de­scribed in de­tail in this paper. The laser in­ten­sity mea­sure­ment sys­tem was tested under of­fline and on­line con­di­tions. The re­sults showed that pulsed laser of 10μs width can be mea­sured and the de­sign re­quire­ment can be met with this sys­tem.

Tun­ing setup can be cre­ated and saved for reuse. The progress of the tun­ing pro­cess­ing is plot­ted in real time. The tun­ing process can be paused, aborted, or re­sumed.

  The next gen­er­a­tion of stor­age ring light sources will likely op­er­ate with high lin­ear cou­pling, which could po­ten­tially pre­vent the use of off-axis in­jec­tion as large hor­i­zon­tal os­cil­la­tion of the in­jected beam is cou­pled to the ver­ti­cal plane. We did ex­per­i­ments on the SPEAR3 stor­age ring to study how lin­ear cou­pling im­pact the dy­namic aper­ture and the off-axis in­jec­tion ef­fi­ciency. The re­sults show that the dy­namic aper­ture is sig­nif­i­cantly re­duced and in­jec­tion ef­fi­ciency can drop to zero when op­er­ated on the cou­pling res­o­nance. How­ever, with large non­lin­ear de­tun­ing, the dy­namic aper­ture and high in­jec­tion ef­fi­ciency can sur­vive with the stored beam at full cou­pling be­cause the in­jected beam is shifted away from the cou­pling res­o­nance.

Re­sults from the cal­i­bra­tion of the spec­trom­e­ter's scin­til­la­tor and op­ti­cal sys­tem are pre­sented, along with a study of the back­grounds gen­er­ated by the 400 GeV SPS pro­ton beam.

  The LIGHT pro­ton ther­apy fa­cil­ity is the first com­pact Linac that will de­liver pro­ton beams up to 230 MeV for can­cer treat­ment. The pro­ton beam is pulsed; pulses rep­e­ti­tion rate can reach 200 Hz. LIGHT pro­to­type is cur­rently being com­mis­sioned by AVO/ADAM at CERN, while the first full in­stal­la­tion is fore­seen in 2019. Beam en­ergy trans­lates di­rectly to range pen­e­tra­tion in the body, so it is of the ut­most im­por­tance to mon­i­tor it ac­cu­rately es­pe­cially for Linacs, since each beam pulse is di­rectly trans­ported to the pa­tient. We pre­sent the im­ple­men­ta­tion of a non-in­ter­cep­tive beam en­ergy mea­sure­ment sys­tem based on the Time-of-Flight tech­nique. Un­like state of the art ToF sys­tems this one has been de­signed to mea­sure au­tonomously the mean en­ergy of the beam with med­ical res­o­lu­tion (0.03 %) by pro­cess­ing as lit­tle as 1 us of data pro­vid­ing the re­sult within 1 to 2 ms over an en­ergy range from 5 to 230 MeV. The first re­sults for beams up to 7.5 MeV are shown.

  In order to in­crease the max­i­mum ac­cel­er­a­tion gra­di­ent of SRF cav­i­ties, S-I-S (su­per­con­duc­tor-in­su­la­tor-su­per­con­duc­tor) mul­ti­lay­ered struc­ture the­ory has been pro­posed. We fo­cused on NbN which has a higher su­per­con­duct­ing tran­si­tion tem­per­a­ture than Nb. Firstly, we re­searched the op­ti­mal de­po­si­tion con­di­tion for N2 gas re­ac­tive sput­ter­ing of NbN by using in-house in­ter-back type DC mag­netron sput­ter­ing equip­ment. The crit­i­cal con­di­tion for a thin film with strong crys­talline ori­en­ta­tion of NbN was iden­ti­fied. The su­per­con­duct­ing tran­si­tion tem­per­a­ture of the NbN thin film, which were coated under the best con­di­tion, was over 14 K. Sec­ondly, we tried mak­ing S-I-S mul­ti­lay­ered sam­ples that was com­posed of NbN/SiO2/Nb sub­strate. The coat­ing con­di­tion for the NbN layer was de­ter­mined based on the re­search re­sults in a sin­gle layer. The SiO2 layer was de­posited with a film thick­ness of 30 nm that was the­o­ret­i­cally ex­pected to be ef­fec­tive as bar­rier layer. We ap­plied O2 gas re­ac­tive AC mag­netron sput­ter­ing for coat­ing. In this ar­ti­cle, the de­tailed re­sults of the NbN sin­gle layer and mul­ti­layer film de­po­si­tions are pre­sented.

  Tran­sient beam load­ing com­pen­sa­tion schemes, such as One-Turn-Feed­Back (OTFB), re­quire beam syn­chro­nous pro­cess­ing (BSP). Swept clocks de­rived from the RF, and there­fore har­monic to the rev­o­lu­tion fre­quency, are widely used in CERN syn­chro­trons; this sim­pli­fies im­ple­men­ta­tion with en­ergy ramp­ing, where the rev­o­lu­tion fre­quency changes. It is how­ever not op­ti­mal for state-of-the-art dig­i­tal hard­ware that prefers fixed fre­quency clocks. An al­ter­na­tive to the swept clock­ing is the use of a de­ter­min­is­tic pro­to­col, for ex­am­ple, White Rab­bit (WR): a fixed ref­er­ence clock can be ex­tracted from its data stream, while en­abling dig­i­tal dis­tri­b­u­tion of the RF fre­quency among other data. New al­go­rithms must be de­vel­oped for BSP using this fixed clock and the dig­i­tal data trans­mit­ted on the WR link. This is the strat­egy adopted for the SPS Low Level RF (LLRF) up­grade. The paper gives an overview of the tech­ni­cal, tech­no­log­i­cal and his­tor­i­cal mo­ti­va­tions for such a par­a­digm evo­lu­tion. It lists the prob­lems of fixed clock BSP, and pre­sents an in­no­v­a­tive so­lu­tion based on a real-time vari­able ratio re-sam­pler for im­ple­ment­ing an OTFB with the new fixed clock scheme.

De­mands of CW high-power LINAC re­quire SRF cav­i­ties op­er­at­ing at the fron­tier of high ac­cel­er­at­ing gra­di­ent and low RF power dis­si­pa­tion, i.e. high qual­ity fac­tor (Q0). This re­quire­ment poses a chal­lenge for stan­dard sur­face treat­ment recipes of SRF cav­i­ties. In a re­cent break­through, el­lip­ti­cal SRF cav­i­ties doped with Ni­tro­gen have been shown to im­prove Q0 by a fac­tor of 3, close to the fun­da­men­tal SRF limit. The fun­da­men­tal mech­a­nisms at mi­cro­scopic level and op­ti­mum dop­ing recipe, how­ever, have still not fully been un­der­stood. Ma­te­ri­als other than Nb have also been pro­posed for SRF cav­i­ties to over­come the fun­da­men­tal limit al­ready reached with Ni­tro­gen dop­ing, e.g. Nb3Sn, MgB2, and Nb-SIS mul­ti­layer. At TRI­UMF, a unique ex­per­i­men­tal fa­cil­ity is cur­rently being de­vel­oped to ad­dress these is­sues. This fa­cil­ity will be able to probe local sur­face mag­netic field in the order of the Lon­don Pen­e­tra­tion Depth (sev­eral tens of nm) via \beta decay de­tec­tion of a low-en­ergy ra­dioac­tive ion-beam. This al­lows depth-res­o­lu­tion and layer-by-layer mea­sure­ment of mag­netic field shield­ing ef­fec­tive­ness of dif­fer­ent SRF ma­te­ri­als at high-par­al­lel field (up to 200 mT). De­sign and cur­rent de­vel­op­ment of this fa­cil­ity will be pre­sented here, as well as com­mis­sion­ing and fu­ture mea­sure­ments strate­gies for new SRF ma­te­ri­als.

  At GSI, Darm­stadt, Ger­many, a Bar­rier-Bucket (BB) RF Sys­tem is cur­rently under de­vel­op­ment for the Ex­per­i­men­tal Stor­age Ring (ESR). The sys­tem con­sists of two broad­band RF cav­i­ties, each dri­ven by a solid state am­pli­fier, with the pur­pose to pro­duce two volt­age pulses per beam rev­o­lu­tion. This will en­able highly so­phis­ti­cated lon­gi­tu­di­nal beam ma­nip­u­la­tions like lon­gi­tu­di­nal cap­ture, com­pres­sion and de­com­pres­sion or stack­ing of the beam. For the LLRF Sys­tem, sev­eral re­quire­ments have to be ful­filled. Be­sides high stan­dards con­cern­ing the pulsed gap sig­nal qual­ity (e.g. ring­ing <2.5%), the sys­tem has to pro­vide the flex­i­bil­ity for adi­a­batic volt­age ramp-up and adi­a­batic pulse shift­ing with high tim­ing ac­cu­racy. A con­nec­tion to the FAIR Cen­tral Con­trol Sys­tem (CCS) is nec­es­sary, as am­pli­tude and phase ramp data will be pro­vided by the CCS. In this con­tri­bu­tion, the struc­ture of the ESR BB LLRF sys­tem is pre­sented to­gether with ex­per­i­men­tal re­sults from the first ver­sion of the sys­tem, which will be in­stalled in the ESR in March 2018.

Hefei Ad­vanced Light Source (HALS) is the fourth-gen­er­a­tion ra­di­a­tion light source that is being pre-re­searched in China. Ul­tra-low emit­tance of the beam re­quires higher per­for­mance of power sup­ply sys­tem. We de­signed a fast cor­rect­ing power sup­ply for the beam mea­sure­ment needs. We adopted the all-dig­i­tal method, the cur­rent closed-loop feed­back used the AD7766 with 24-bit res­o­lu­tion as its A/D con­verter. And we added the cor­re­spond­ing con­stant tem­per­a­ture con­trol, chain pro­tec­tion, etc. The small-sig­nal fre­quency re­sponse of this sys­tem can reach more than 5kHz. The de­tail de­sign scheme is de­scribed in this paper.

We pre­sent com­pre­hen­sive ef­fi­ciency equa­tions and use­ful scal­ing laws to op­ti­mally de­ter­mine de­sign pa­ra­me­ters for high ef­fi­ciency rf linacs. For the first time we have in­cor­po­rated the par­a­sitic losses due to the higher order cav­ity modes into the ef­fi­ciency analy­sis of the stand­ing wave (SW) and trav­el­ling wave (TW) ac­cel­er­a­tors. We have also de­rived the ef­fi­ciency equa­tions for a new kind of at­ten­u­a­tion-in­de­pen­dent-im­ped­ance trav­el­ling wave (ATW) ac­cel­er­a­tors where the shunt im­ped­ance can be op­ti­mized in­de­pen­dent of the group ve­loc­ity. We have ob­tained scal­ing laws which re­late the rf to beam ef­fi­ciency to the linac length, beam aper­ture ra­dius , phase ad­vance per cell, and the type of ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­ture: SW ver­sus TW, disk-loaded (DL) ver­sus nose-cone (NC). We give an ex­am­ple of using these scal­ing laws to de­ter­mine a fea­si­ble set of pa­ra­me­ters for a 10 MeV, 10 MW linac with 97.2% ef­fi­ciency.

These are: 2MeV-1MW, 10MeV-10MW, and 10MeV-1MW linacs. These are all 10 m long, 1.3 GHz, π-mode stand­ing wave struc­tures with de­sign ef­fi­cien­cies of 96.8, 97.4 and 86.5 %, and op­ti­mal cou­pling co­ef­fi­cients of 32.9, 43.5, and 7.45, re­spec­tively. We pre­sent the de­tailed de­sign pa­ra­me­ters of these linacs. The study of sin­gle-bunch beam breakup for these linacs and the sim­u­la­tions re­sults from ABCI are also in­cluded. The ini­tial cav­i­ties are op­ti­mized ac­cord­ing to the speed of the elec­tron bunch to max­i­mize the shunt im­ped­ance. The plots of peak sur­face fields on these cav­i­ties are also pre­sented. We have also in­cluded a de­tailed ther­mal analy­sis of these linacs. Fi­nally, we pre­sent the re­sults of ASTRA sim­u­la­tions of the three linacs with mag­netic fo­cus­ing. We have also in­cluded the com­plete de­sign of rf-dis­trib­uted-cou­pling man­i­fold for the third linac along with the HFSS® sim­u­la­tion re­sults.

FE­LiChEM is a new ex­per­i­men­tal fa­cil­ity under con­struc­tion at the Uni­ver­sity of Sci­ence and Tech­nol­ogy of China. There are more than one hun­dred im­por­tant de­vices to con­struct it, which core de­vice is two free elec­tron laser os­cil­la­tors gen­er­at­ing mid­dle-in­frared and far-in­frared laser and cov­er­ing the spec­tral range of 25-200μm. The op­ti­cal cav­ity is an im­por­tant com­po­nent of os­cil­la­tor which very sen­si­tive to mis­align­ment er­rors of the mir­ror, due to its near-con­cen­tric and sym­met­ric struc­ture. High pre­ci­sion align­ment and in­stal­la­tion is nec­es­sary to en­sure the smooth im­ple­men­ta­tion of the FE­LiChEM pro­ject. Laser tracker and Level are used to in­stall this de­vices ac­cord­ing to the align­ment con­trol net­work. An ef­fi­cient and high-pre­ci­sion align­ment method based on au­to­col­li­ma­tor and pho­to­elec­tric auto-col­li­ma­tor is used to align op­ti­cal cav­ity of os­cil­la­tor. This meth­ods is proven to be ef­fec­tive and meet the tol­er­ances by mul­ti­ple means.

  Amor­phous car­bon (a-C) thin film ap­plied to vac­uum cham­bers of high-en­ergy par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tors can de­crease sec­ondary elec­tron yield(SEY)and sup­press elec­tron-cloud ef­fec­tively. A dc mag­netron sput­ter­ing ap­pa­ra­tus to ob­tain a-C film has been de­signed. With the equip­ment, a-C thin film can be de­posited on the inner face of stain­less steel pipes ul­ti­mately which is uni­form and high-qual­ity. Mean­while, it is found that a-C has a low SEY<1.2 mea­sured by the sec­ondary elec­tron emis­sion mea­sure­ment set-up in the Na­tional Syn­chro­tron Ra­di­a­tion Lab­o­ra­tory. The re­sult in­di­cates that a-C is an ideal ma­te­r­ial for mod­ern ac­cel­er­a­tors.

  The new gen­er­a­tion of ac­cel­er­a­tors places higher de­mands on the sur­faces of vac­uum cham­ber ma­te­ri­als. Search for low sec­ondary elec­tron yield (SEY) ma­te­ri­als and an ef­fec­tive vac­uum cham­ber sur­face treat­ment process, which can ef­fec­tively re­duce the elec­tronic cloud ef­fect, are im­por­tant early works for the new gen­er­a­tion of ac­cel­er­a­tors. In this work, we re­vealed the SEY char­ac­ter­is­tics of Ti-Zr-Hf-V NEG films and Ti-Zr-V NEG films which were de­posited on Si (111) sub­strates using di­rect cur­rent mag­netron sput­ter­ing method. The sur­face mor­phol­ogy and sur­face chem­i­cal bond­ing in­for­ma­tion were col­lected by scan­ning elec­tron mi­croscopy (SEM) and X-ray pho­to­elec­tron spec­troscopy (XPS). With the same pa­ra­me­ters, the max­i­mum SEY of Ti-Zr-Hf-V NEG films and Ti-Zr-V NEG films are 1.24 and 1.51, re­spec­tively. These re­sults are of great sig­nif­i­cance for the next-gen­er­a­tion par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tors.

  A dis­trib­uted beam loss mon­i­tor­ing sys­tem, based on Cherenkov sil­ica fi­bres, has been in­stalled at the Aus­tralian Syn­chro­tron. The fi­bres are in­stalled par­al­lel to the beam pipe and cover the ma­jor­ity of the in­jec­tion sys­tem and stor­age ring. Rel­a­tivis­tic charged par­ti­cles from beam loss events that have a ve­loc­ity above the Cherenkov thresh­old pro­duce pho­tons in the fi­bres. These pho­tons are then guided along the fi­bres to de­tec­tors out­side of the ac­cel­er­a­tor tun­nels. Orig­i­nally the sys­tem was in­stalled to de­ter­mine its suit­abil­ity for mea­sur­ing losses at a fu­ture lin­ear col­lider, such as the Com­pact Lin­ear Col­lider, with sin­gle pass 150 ns bunch trains. This study builds on these re­sults and at­tempts to use the sys­tem to mea­sure loss lo­ca­tions with a cir­cu­lat­ing beam. We pre­sent the pre­lim­i­nary re­sults and de­scribe how the sys­tem could be im­proved.

  TRI­UMF has the ob­jec­tive of pro­duc­ing ra­dioac­tive iso­tope beams (RIB) using the ISOL method. Ra­dioac­tive iso­topes are used in ex­per­i­ments in dif­fer­ent areas of sci­ence. At the TRI­UMF-ISAC fa­cil­ity, a 500 MeV pro­ton dri­ver beam im­pinges onto dif­fer­ent tar­gets and in­duces nu­clear re­ac­tions in them. The iso­topes ob­tained in this way then dif­fuse out of the tar­get ma­te­r­ial be­fore they are ion­ized and ex­tracted to form an iso­tope beam. Tar­gets of ura­nium car­bide with ex­cess of graphite (UCx) are the most re­quested tar­gets at TRI­UMF. ARIEL, TRI­UMF's flag­ship pro­ject, aims at in­creas­ing the ra­dioac­tive iso­tope pro­duc­tion ca­pa­bil­i­ties to sat­isfy the grow­ing de­mand of ra­dioac­tive iso­topes. The cur­rent pro­duc­tion method of UCx targest does not have the means to sup­ply enough UCx tar­gets to sat­isfy ARIEL's de­mand, there­fore, a new method for ef­fi­cient UCx tar­get ma­te­r­ial syn­the­sis is being de­vel­oped.

  A 650 MHz SRF de­flect­ing mode cav­ity has been built and tested for use as a three-way beam sep­a­ra­tor in the ARIEL eLinac. The cav­ity op­er­ates in a TE-like mode, and has been op­ti­mized for high shunt im­ped­ance with min­i­mal lon­gi­tu­di­nal foot­print. The de­vice is the first SRF cav­ity to be fully fab­ri­cated in house at TRI­UMF. The re­quire­ments of the cav­ity al­lowed for the de­vel­op­ment of low cost man­u­fac­tur­ing tech­niques, in­clud­ing the use of Re­ac­tor grade nio­bium and at­mos­pheric pres­sure TIG weld­ing. The cav­ity has been fab­ri­cated and tested at 4 K and 2 K, ob­tain­ing a 4 K Qo of 4·108 at the op­er­at­ing volt­age of 0.3 MV, sur­pass­ing the goal volt­age and qual­ity fac­tor re­quired for op­er­a­tion. Re­sults of the cryo­genic tests of the cav­ity will be pre­sented here.

De­sign of an en­ergy-mod­i­fied elec­tron gun is of sig­nif­i­cance to do some re­search on the prop­er­ties of Di­a­mond-am­pli­fied cath­ode. Based on the de­sign method of the Pierce elec­tron gun, the op­ti­mum pa­ra­me­ters of the elec­tron gun have been ob­tained using the Opera-3D pro­gram. And the beam waist's po­si­tion, the beam cur­rent, the beam size and the beam emit­tance re­lated to the elec­tron bean en­ergy was in­ves­ti­gated in this paper.

The Hefei Ad­vanced Light Source (HALS) is a fu­ture soft X-ray dif­frac­tion-lim­ited stor­age ring at NSRL, this pro­ject aims to im­prove the bril­liance and co­her­ence of the X-ray beams and to de­crease the hor­i­zon­tal emit­tance. The lat­tice of the HALS ring re­lies on mag­nets with de­mand­ing spec­i­fi­ca­tions, in­clud­ing com­bined func­tion di­pole-quadrupoles (DQs) with high gra­di­ents, dipoles with lon­gi­tu­di­nal gra­di­ents (DLs), high gra­di­ent quadrupoles and strong sex­tupoles. The com­bined di­pole-quadru­pole de­sign de­vel­oped is be­tween the off­set quadru­pole and sep­tum quadru­pole types. The lon­gi­tu­di­nal-gra­di­ent dipoles are per­ma­nent mag­nets. The quadrupoles and sex­tupoles rely on a more con­ven­tional de­sign. All the mag­nets have been de­signed using POS­SION, Radia, and OPERA-3D.

Com­bined di­pole-quadrupoles (DQs) can be ob­tained with the de­sign of ta­pered di­pole or off­set quadru­pole. How­ever, the ta­pered di­pole de­sign can not achieve a high gra­di­ent field, as it will lead to poor field qual­ity in the low field area of the mag­net bore, and the de­sign of off­set quadru­pole will in­crease the mag­net size and power con­sump­tion. Fi­nally, the di­pole-quadru­pole de­sign de­vel­oped is be­tween the off­set quadru­pole and sep­tum quadru­pole types. The di­men­sions of the poles and the coils of the low field side have been re­duced. The 2D pole pro­file is sim­u­lated and op­ti­mized by using POS­SION and Radia, while the 3D modle using Radia and OPERA-3D. The end shim­ming and cham­fer are mod­elled to meet the field uni­for­mity re­quire­ment.

  En­er­getic pri­mary elec­trons (~ keV) im­ping­ing on the di­a­mond film with its both sur­face under bias field in ~ MV/m, will ex­cite sec­ondary elec­tron (SE) re­sponse in­clud­ing SE gen­er­a­tion & trans­port. Al­though there have been 3D Monte Carlo (MC) sim­u­la­tion to study the two processes, this paper will in­tro­duce an­other method. Based on op­ti­cal di­elec­tric model, 3D MC sim­u­la­tion was im­ple­mented to study the gen­er­a­tion process, and SE gen­er­a­tion func­tion was ob­tained by fit­ting the cal­cu­la­tions. Using this func­tion, the dif­fu­sion-drift equa­tion of charge car­ri­ers (elec­tron and hole) can be solved in 1D for the trans­port process, and the vari­a­tion of SE depth dis­tri­b­u­tion with time can be ob­tained.

  Hefei Ad­vanced Light Source (HALS) is a newly de­signed dif­frac­tion-lim­ited stor­age ring.. The lat­est ver­sion of HALS has a 7BA lat­tice. One of the most im­por­tant parts about HALS de­sign is its in­jec­tion sys­tem. Since con­ven­tional in­jec­tion scheme is not suit­able for DLSRs, many new in­jec­tion schemes are pro­posed, in­clud­ing lon­gi­tu­di­nal in­jec­tion scheme. In this paper, we in­ves­ti­gate the fea­si­bil­ity of lon­gi­tu­di­nal in­jec­tion scheme for HALS. In order to eval­u­ate the in­jec­tion per­for­mance, var­i­ous er­rors have been con­sid­ered. A se­ries of track­ing sim­u­la­tions are car­ried out and in­jec­tion ef­fi­ciency is ob­tained under dif­fer­ent error lev­els.

Mon­i­tor­ing of ion­iz­ing ra­di­a­tion of syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion fa­cil­ity is very im­por­tant for the safety of staff and users of the light source. Ra­di­a­tion mon­i­tor­ing sys­tem of HLSII has been built and the whole sys­tem con­sists of local ra­di­a­tion mon­i­tor­ing spots and cen­tral con­trol sys­tem, and a web-based mon­i­tor­ing dy­namic re­lease sys­tem. The local ra­di­a­tion mon­i­tor­ing spot con­sists of a high air pres­sure ion­iza­tion type gamma de­tec­tor and a BF3 count­ing tube neu­tron de­tec­tor, and the ra­di­a­tion data are cal­cu­lated by mi­cro­con­troller lo­cally and ac­quired by the data server for fur­ther pro­cess­ing. The dy­namic re­lease sys­tem is in­te­grated with EPICS in­ter­face and ra­di­a­tion safety in­ter­lock sys­tem. Other ac­cel­er­a­tor sys­tems could ob­tain ra­di­a­tion data from the server and the in­ter­lock sys­tem is trig­gered by the ra­di­a­tion data to shut down the ma­chine in case the ra­di­a­tion ex­ceeds the safety thresh­old.
