  The LIGHT ac­cel­er­a­tor is the first com­pact Linac that will de­liver pro­ton beams up to 230 MeV for can­cer treat­ment. The ac­cel­er­a­tor is only 24m long and is being built to be mod­u­lar and ca­pa­ble of chang­ing pro­ton beam en­ergy and in­ten­sity pulse-to-pulse at up to 200Hz. The LIGHT pro­to­type is cur­rently being com­mis­sioned by AVO / ADAM at CERN, while the first full in­stal­la­tion is fore­seen in 2019. Here we pre­sent the de­sign and im­ple­men­ta­tion of a move­able di­ag­nos­tic test bench which is used to mea­sure a full set of beam prop­er­ties at each com­mis­sion­ing step. Pa­ra­me­ters mea­sured in­clude beam cur­rent, pulse length, en­ergy, po­si­tion, trans­verse pro­file and emit­tance. The com­pact in­stru­ments, the elec­tron­ics and the con­trols that equip the test bench are the same as those who will be per­ma­nently in­stalled along the ac­cel­er­a­tor after the com­mis­sion­ing. The first re­sults ob­tained with the test bench for beams up to 16 MeV are shown here. We demon­strate that the cho­sen in­stru­men­ta­tion achieves a very high sen­si­tiv­ity, dy­namic range, re­li­a­bil­ity and im­mu­nity to EM noise. Pro­ce­dures for on-line cal­i­bra­tion of the in­stru­ments are also dis­cussed.

Beam­line Ar­chi­tect is a new par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tor sim­u­la­tion tool. Cur­rently, two of the most widely used tools in this field are G4beam­line and COSY In­fin­ity. While these codes are fast and quite ac­cu­rate, some­times their in­ter­faces can be time-con­sum­ing for stu­dents to learn, par­tic­u­larly un­der­grad­u­ate stu­dents or stu­dents whose pri­mary field is not ac­cel­er­a­tor physics. With­out Beam­line Ar­chi­tect, each code has its own high-level lan­guage that must be man­u­ally writ­ten into a file and then ex­e­cuted on the com­mand line. More­over, some­times the use of both sim­u­la­tion tools is war­ranted in order to check for con­sis­tency be­tween the codes. Writ­ing the codes by hand or trans­lat­ing be­tween soft­ware can some­times be cum­ber­some, even for ex­perts. Fur­ther­more, knowl­edge of an ad­di­tional lan­guage, such as Python, is re­quired in order to an­a­lyze the out­puts of the codes (which may be in dif­fer­ent for­mats from one an­other). Beam­line Ar­chi­tect is a tool that pro­vides a graph­i­cal user in­ter­face to G4beam­line and COSY In­fin­ity. This lets the user build a par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tor chan­nel in 3D with or with­out using code. The chan­nel may then be saved, ex­ported, trans­lated, or run. Any out­put data will be plot­ted in Beam­line Ar­chi­tect using Python, since it is both flex­i­ble aes­thet­i­cally and quite stan­dard in the par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tor com­mu­nity. For un­der­grad­u­ate and non-ac­cel­er­a­tor stu­dents, Beam­line Ar­chi­tect al­lows a hands-on ex­pe­ri­ence with ac­cel­er­a­tor sim­u­la­tions. Some ap­pli­ca­tions for these stu­dents in­clude health physics ra­di­a­tion dosime­try prob­lems, med­ical imag­ing me­chan­ics, se­cu­rity scan­ner sim­u­la­tions, and (of course) ac­cel­er­a­tor chan­nel de­sign for par­ti­cle physics ex­per­i­ments. For ex­perts, Beam­line Ar­chi­tect pro­vides vi­sual con­fir­ma­tion of the chan­nel and a faster, more con­sis­tent way of cross-ref­er­enc­ing re­sults be­tween the codes.

A fast beam in­ter­lock sys­tem for the Ad­vanced Pho­ton Source (APS) Par­ti­cle Ac­cu­mu­la­tor Ring (PAR) based on the de­tec­tion of Cerenkov light is pro­posed for high-charge op­er­a­tions as­so­ci­ated with the APS Up­grade (APS-U). Light is gen­er­ated from lost elec­trons pass­ing through high-pu­rity, fused-sil­ica fiber optic cable. The cable acts as both ra­di­a­tor and light pipe to a Pb-shielded pho­to­mul­ti­plier tube. Re­sults from a pro­to­type in­stal­la­tion along the PAR south wall have shown ex­cel­lent sen­si­tiv­ity, lin­ear­ity, and re­pro­ducibil­ity after 10,000 hours of op­er­a­tion to date with lit­tle change in the op­ti­cal trans­mis­sion of the fiber. High sen­si­tiv­ity al­lows more ac­cu­rate mea­sure­ment of low-level loss than pos­si­ble with cur­rent mon­i­tors. The ra­di­a­tor and de­tec­tor pro­vide a much faster re­sponse than the in­stalled gamma or neu­tron de­tec­tors. A faster, more ac­cu­rate re­sponse to elec­tron loss will be im­por­tant as we run with higher charge and con­sider op­er­at­ing at in­creased en­ergy for APS-U. Ini­tial cal­i­bra­tion mea­sure­ments of the pro­to­type sys­tem with ra­di­a­tion mon­i­tors for var­i­ous loss sce­nar­ios are dis­cussed. Com­par­i­son of the sce­nar­ios with sim­u­la­tions are pre­sented.

A fast pho­tode­tec­tor is used to mon­i­tor the bunch du­ra­tion in the Ad­vanced Pho­ton Source (APS) Par­ti­cle Ac­cu­mu­la­tor Ring (PAR). The Bunch Du­ra­tion Mon­i­tor (BDM) di­ag­nos­tic pro­vides an ac­cu­rate mea­sure of the PAR bunch length. PAR BDM data show good agree­ment with streak cam­era mea­sure­ments. The BDM is based on the metal-semi­con­duc­tor-metal (MSM) pho­tode­tec­tor Hama­matsu G4176-03 MSM with spec­i­fied rise and fall times of 30 ps. The BDM has suf­fi­cient fre­quency re­sponse to re­solve the PAR bunch near ex­trac­tion where, under low-charge con­di­tions, min­i­mum rms pulse du­ra­tions of 200-300 ps are ob­served. Beam from the PAR is in­jected into the Booster; for ef­fi­cient cap­ture, in­jected rms bunch du­ra­tion from the PAR must be less than 600 ps. The MSM de­tec­tor ex­hibits a ring­ing re­sponse to fast input sig­nals. To over­come this, the BDM out­put is de-con­volved with the im­pulse re­sponse func­tion of the de­tec­tor-am­pli­fier cir­cuit. Turn-by-turn bunch du­ra­tion data is pre­sented ver­sus charge and time in the PAR cycle. Charge cal­i­bra­tion is used to de­ter­mine fit pa­ra­me­ters for bunch du­ra­tion mea­sure­ments in peak-de­tec­tion mode. Ob­ser­va­tions rel­e­vant to APS Up­grade high-charge stud­ies are pre­sented.

The APS-U 6-GeV MBA stor­age ring will have 42 pm beam emit­tance and rel­a­tively tight ac­cep­tance. This re­quires lim­it­ing the beam emit­tance out of the Booster syn­chro­tron which is achieved by op­er­at­ing the Booster off-mo­men­tum, thus ma­nip­u­lat­ing the damp­ing par­ti­tions. How­ever, the much higher charge for the APS-U strongly fa­vors in­ject­ing on mo­men­tum into the Booster for max­i­mum ac­cep­tance. An rf-fre­quency ramp­ing scheme is pro­posed to allow in­ject­ing on mo­men­tum and then mov­ing the beam off mo­men­tum. The ramp is ad­justed from cycle to cycle to vary the total time taken by the beam from in­jec­tion to ex­trac­tion, thus align­ing the Booster bunch with any cho­sen MBA stor­age ring bucket. The two rf sys­tems will not be locked at any time of the cycle. The pro­posed scheme is com­pat­i­ble with the ex­ist­ing syn­chro­niza­tion of the APS in­jec­tor cycle to the 60-Hz line volt­age which in­duces a vari­a­tion in the start time of the ac­cel­er­a­tion cycle. The scheme re­moves the need to re­align the Booster ring for total path length while op­ti­miz­ing its op­er­a­tion for high charge ac­cel­er­a­tion. A fer­rite tuner is being con­sid­ered for dy­namic tun­ing of the rf cav­i­ties.

WEPAF009 Optimising Response Matrix Measurements for LOCO Analysis 1826
 
  • Y.E. Tan

  The Lin­ear Op­tics from Closed Orbit (LOCO) method is a com­mon tool for de­ter­min­ing stor­age ring lat­tice func­tions and re­quires a mea­sured BPM to Cor­rec­tor re­sponse ma­trix. For very large rings with many cor­rec­tors, such mea­sure­ments can be time con­sum­ing. The fol­low­ing study in­ves­ti­gates how the num­ber of cor­rec­tors and the sig­nal-to-noise ratio (SNR) af­fects the LOCO analy­sis re­sults. For the Aus­tralian Syn­chro­tron, the re­sults show that four dis­trib­uted cor­rec­tors per plane with a SNR of >1000 is suf­fi­cient to fit the be­ta­tron func­tions to an ac­cu­racy of less than 0.2%.

Dur­ing high cur­rent op­er­a­tion at NSLS-II stor­age ring, ver­ti­cal beam size spikes have been no­ticed. The spikes are be­lieved due to ion in­sta­bil­ity as­so­ci­ates with vac­uum ac­tiv­i­ties lo­cal­ized in the ring. A new tool has been de­vel­oped using gated BPM turn-by-turn (TBT) data to de­tect beam cen­troid glitches. When one turn orbit de­vi­ates out­side the pre­de­fined win­dow, a global event will be gen­er­ated. This al­lows syn­chro­nized data ac­qui­si­tion of TBT beam po­si­tions around the ring. Bunch by bunch data is ac­quired at the same time to an­a­lyze the pos­si­ble cou­pled bunch in­sta­bil­i­ties (CBI). Be­sides CBI mainly due to ion bursts, fast orbit glitches have been cap­tured with the new tool. Sources of the glitches can be iden­ti­fied.

Trans­verse bunch-by-bunch (BxB) feed­back sys­tem has been con­structed and in op­er­a­tion since the very be­gin­ning of NSLS-II stor­age ring com­mis­sion­ing. As the total beam cur­rent con­tin­ues in­creas­ing in the past years, the sys­tem has been op­er­at­ing sta­ble and re­li­able. Ad­vanced BxB di­ag­nos­tic func­tions have been de­vel­oped using the sys­tem. Con­tin­u­ous tune mea­sure­ment is re­al­ized with a di­ag­nos­tic sin­gle bunch. Cou­pled bunch in­sta­bil­ity growth rate is able to be mea­sured with the tran­sient ex­ci­ta­tion. The BxB feed­back sys­tem is also ca­pa­ble to ex­cite a small frac­tion of total bunches for lat­tice mea­sure­ment dur­ing high cur­rent op­er­a­tions. We pre­sent the most re­cent de­vel­op­ments and op­er­a­tion ex­pe­ri­ence on the BxB feed­back sys­tem at NSLS-II.

There are two X-ray di­ag­nos­tic beam­lines (XDB) de­vel­oped at NSLS-II stor­age ring to mea­sure emit­tance, en­ergy spread, and other ma­chine pa­ra­me­ters. The first beam­line uti­lizes a soft bend­ing mag­net ra­di­a­tion has been in op­er­a­tion since 2014. The tung­sten pin­hole orig­i­nally lo­cated in the air had cor­ro­sion issue. The beam­line has been im­proved by ex­tend­ing the vac­uum to the imag­ing sys­tem. The sec­ond X-ray pin­hole beam­line using three-pole wig­gler (TPW) ra­di­a­tion has been con­structed and com­mis­sioned re­cently. En­ergy spread is able to be pre­cisely mea­sured due to large dis­per­sion at the source point. A gated cam­era is equipped with the new beam­line to ac­quire pro­files within one turn. Re­cent op­er­a­tion ex­pe­ri­ence and beam mea­sure­ments will be pre­sented in this paper.

For the sys­tem­atic man­age­ment, a re­la­tional data­base is ded­i­cated to the AI sys­tem and work­ing as the data provider as well as the archiver. The paper shows how the data­base is struc­tured and used for the AI sys­tem.

  The Fer­mi­lab muon g-2 ex­per­i­ment aims to mea­sure the muon anom­alous mag­netic mo­ment with a pre­ci­sion of 140 ppb - a four­fold im­prove­ment over the 540 ppb pre­ci­sion ob­tained in the BNL muon g-2 ex­per­i­ment. Both of these high-pre­ci­sion ex­per­i­ments re­quire an ex­tremely uni­form mag­netic field in the muon stor­age ring. A su­per­con­duct­ing mag­netic in­flec­tor sys­tem is used to in­ject beam into the stor­age ring as close as pos­si­ble to the de­sign orbit while min­i­miz­ing dis­tur­bances to the stor­age-re­gion mag­netic field. The Fer­mi­lab ex­per­i­ment is cur­rently in its first data-tak­ing run, where the Fer­mi­lab in­flec­tor sys­tem is the re­fur­bished BNL in­flec­tor sys­tem. This dis­cus­sion re­views the Fer­mi­lab in­flec­tor sys­tem re­fur­bish­ment and com­mis­sion­ing.

  De­ter­mi­na­tion of the prop­er­ties of a beam dur­ing trans­port is a vital process for most ac­cel­er­a­tor-re­lated ex­per­i­ments; for ex­am­ple Fer­mi­lab's Muon g-2 ex­per­i­ment re­quires large num­bers of muons to be stored in a stor­age ring of 7 meter ra­dius, and the trans­mis­sion frac­tion has been shown to de­pend strongly on the prop­er­ties of the beam, specif­i­cally the Twiss pa­ra­me­ters. The cur­rent equip­ment in the muon cam­pus beam­lines al­lows only mea­sure­ment of beam pro­files which lim­its how well prop­a­ga­tion can be pre­dicted, how­ever by using the well-stud­ied quad-scan tech­nique it is pos­si­ble to ob­tain all of the Twiss pa­ra­me­ters at a point using these pro­files. Ex­per­i­men­tal quad-scans of muon beams have not yet been re­ported, this paper in­tro­duces the quad-scan tech­nique and then goes on to dis­cuss the analy­sis of one such ex­per­i­ment and the re­sults ob­tained, show­ing that such a tech­nique is ap­plic­a­ble in the muon g-2 ex­per­i­ment to ob­tain the Twiss pa­ra­me­ters with­out re­quir­ing in­stal­la­tion of new equip­ment.

Size­able life­time jumps have been ob­served spo­rad­i­cally since March 2016 at NSLS-II. These jumps were found to co­in­cide with in­ser­tion de­vice (ID) gap mo­tions. Par­tic­u­larly, one of the in-vac­uum un­du­la­tors (IVUs) at Cell 17 was dis­cov­ered to have large lo­cal­ized skew quadru­pole com­po­nent vari­a­tion with gap. To allow the ma­chine to op­er­ate sta­bly in the low-emit­tance mode, a global cou­pling feed­for­ward sys­tem has been re­cently im­ple­mented and suc­cess­fully de­ployed. After in­stal­la­tion of a new ad­di­tional skew quadru­pole, cou­pling com­pen­sa­tion of this ID is now per­formed by a local cou­pling feed­for­ward sys­tem. Fur­ther­more, the max­i­mum gap limit of all the ex­ist­ing IVUs has been de­creased from 40 mm to 25 mm to limit the skew com­po­nent vari­a­tion dur­ing user op­er­a­tion.

A tilted bunch tra­vers­ing a but­ton beam pro­file mon­i­tor will pro­duce sig­nals on op­po­site pickup elec­trodes that will have dif­fer­ent de­grees of dis­tor­tion de­pend­ing on the tilt angle. In par­tic­u­lar, the zero-cross­ing time dif­fer­ence be­tween the two sig­nals will be ap­prox­i­mately pro­por­tional to the tilt angle. We per­form sim­u­la­tions to study this ef­fect as a pos­si­ble di­ag­nos­tic tool for mea­sur­ing the crab­bing an­gles in a fu­ture elec­tron-ion col­lider.

A sim­ple, an­a­lyt­i­cally cor­rect al­go­rithm is de­vel­oped for cal­cu­lat­ing 'pen­cil' beam co­or­di­nates using the sig­nals from an ideal cylin­dri­cal beam po­si­tion mon­i­tor (BPM) with four pickup elec­trodes (PUEs) of in­fin­i­tes­i­mal widths. The al­go­rithm is then ap­plied to sim­u­la­tions of re­al­is­tic BPMs with fi­nite width PUEs. Sur­pris­ingly small de­vi­a­tions are found. Sim­ple em­pir­i­cally de­ter­mined cor­rec­tion terms re­duce the de­vi­a­tions even fur­ther. Fi­nally, the al­go­rithm is used to study the im­pact of beam-size upon the pre­ci­sion of BPMs in the non-lin­ear re­gion. As an ex­am­ple of the data ac­qui­si­tion speed ad­van­tage, a FPGA-based BPM read­out im­ple­men­ta­tion of the new al­go­rithm has been de­vel­oped and char­ac­ter­ized

Ma­chine Learn­ing has proven it­self as a use­ful tech­nique in a va­ri­ety of ap­pli­ca­tions from image recog­ni­tion to play­ing Go. Ar­ti­fi­cial Neural Net­works have cer­tain ad­van­tages when used as a feed­for­ward sys­tem, such as the pre­dicted cor­rec­tion re­lies on a model built from data. This al­lows for the Ar­ti­fi­cial Neural Net­work to com­pen­sate for ef­fects that are dif­fi­cult to model such as low level RF ad­just­ments to com­pen­sate for long term drifts. The NSLS-II linac suf­fers from long terms drifts from a num­ber of sources in­clud­ing ther­mal drifts and kly­stron gain vari­a­tions. These drifts have an ef­fect on the in­jec­tion ef­fi­ciency into the booster, and if left unchecked, por­tions of the bunch train may not be in­jected into the booster, and the stor­age ring bunch pat­tern will ul­ti­mately suf­fer. In this paper, we dis­cuss the ap­pli­ca­tion of Ar­ti­fi­cial Neural Net­works to com­pen­sate for long term drifts in the NSLS-II lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor. The Ar­ti­fi­cial Neural Net­work is im­ple­mented in python al­low­ing for rapid de­vel­op­ment of the net­work. We dis­cuss the de­sign and train­ing of the net­work, along with re­sults of using the net­work in op­er­a­tion.

  CNAO in Pavia is one of the first cen­ters for hadron­ther­apy in Eu­rope, treat­ing pa­tients since 2011. The cen­ter is an in­ter­na­tional ref­er­ence for a whole new con­cept of ma­chines being con­structed for this pur­pose. The syn­chro­tron BPM elec­tron­ics is based on ana­log boards that com­pute the ratio be­tween dif­fer­ence and sum sig­nals from the shoe­box pickup, later ac­quired by dig­i­tal cards. Al­though the sys­tem op­er­ates re­li­ably, it just cal­cu­lates the po­si­tion with 1kHz rate, while the rev­o­lu­tion fre­quency ranges from 0.5 to 3 MHz. To ex­tend the mea­sure­ment pos­si­bil­i­ties for these new hadron syn­chro­trons, In­stru­men­ta­tion Tech­nolo­gies is de­vel­op­ing a data ac­qui­si­tion sys­tem ca­pa­ble of ac­quir­ing the pickup sig­nals with 125M­Sps ADCs and cal­cu­lat­ing bunch­by­bunch po­si­tions of the ac­cel­er­ated beam. The first pro­to­type was tested at CNAO: the turn­by­turn beam po­si­tion was an­a­lyzed off line, at dif­fer­ent en­er­gies and po­si­tions with both Pro­tons and Car­bon ions beam. This paper will pre­sents the re­sults achieved with the sys­tem and com­pares them with the mea­sure­ments of the cur­rent sys­tem.

  The paper con­cerns the Fast In­ten­sity Mon­i­tor (FIM) de­signed for the CNAO (Cen­tro Nazionale di Adroter­apia On­co­log­ica), the Ital­ian fa­cil­ity of On­co­log­i­cal Hadron­ther­apy. The FIM de­tec­tor has been de­signed with the pur­pose of hav­ing a con­tin­u­ous and non-de­struc­tive mea­sure­ment of the beam in­ten­sity in the High En­ergy Beam Trans­fer (HEBT) line. The pas­sage of the beam through a thin alu­minum foil pro­duces sec­ondary elec­trons whose yield de­pends on beam species (pro­tons or car­bon ions), in­ten­sity and en­ergy. Sec­ondary elec­trons are fo­cused on the Chan­nel­tron Elec­tron Mul­ti­plier (CEM) input, mul­ti­plied and sensed over a pre­ci­sion re­sis­tor. In order to min­i­mize the per­tur­ba­tion to the beam, the foil is grounded and the read out elec­tron­ics is float­ing. This makes elec­tron­ics de­sign harder but it is a key point to make FIM use pos­si­ble con­tin­u­ously even dur­ing pa­tients treat­ment. Mea­sure­ments per­formed with the FIM are dis­cussed and checked against ref­er­ence de­tec­tors.

The LIPAc ac­cel­er­a­tor will be a lin­ear CW deuteron ac­cel­er­a­tor ca­pa­ble of de­liv­er­ing a 9 MeV, 125 mA beam which aims to val­i­date the tech­nol­ogy that will be used in the fu­ture high power ac­cel­er­a­tor-dri­ven neu­tron source, IFMIF. In sum­mer 2017 a cam­paign of mea­sure­ments was done dur­ing the in­jec­tor com­mis­sion­ing, in which a Flu­o­res­cence Pro­file Mon­i­tor based on an In­ten­si­fied CID cam­era (ICID) was used to mea­sure the beam trans­verse pro­file at the ex­trac­tion of the ion source. In this con­tri­bu­tion we re­view the de­sign of the ICID, its per­for­mance and dis­cuss the mea­sure­ments car­ried out. The per­for­mance of ICID mon­i­tors for its use in fu­ture ac­cel­er­a­tors will be as­sessed.

Low Q cav­ity BPM is a key to dis­tin­guish closely spaced elec­tron bunches al­low­ing pre­cise beam han­dling for XFEL fa­cil­i­ties op­er­at­ing in a multi-bunch mode at high rep­e­ti­tion rate up to hun­dreds MHz. The in­ter-bunch sig­nal pol­lu­tion issue be­comes sig­nif­i­cant when bunch sep­a­ra­tion is down to nanosec­ond and causes the po­si­tion de­tec­tion to be in­creas­ingly over­es­ti­mated. Solely re­ly­ing on ex­treme low Q to achieve suf­fi­cient decay within bunch in­ter­val leads to ap­pre­cia­ble in­ter­fer­ence from non-sig­nal modes due to strong over­cou­pling of an­tenna de­sign is re­quired. The error im­posed on mea­sured po­si­tion raises a chal­lenge to meet the goal of high res­o­lu­tion. Al­ter­na­tively, a con­cept is pro­posed to re­move the dom­i­nant part of sig­nal pol­lu­tion at the mo­ment of sam­pling by in­ten­tion­ally shift­ing the phase of the last bunch sig­nal 90de­gree re­spect to that of cur­rent bunch sig­nal, where sig­nal sam­pling is nor­mally taken for nanosec­ond spaced bunches. This quad­ra­ture phase shift is de­fined by prop­erly choos­ing the op­er­a­tional fre­quency of di­pole mode re­gard­ing to the bunch fre­quency. A low Q cav­ity BPM pro­to­type to iden­tify tech­ni­cal chal­lenges and ver­ify this con­cept is under de­vel­op­ment in the R&D plan for fu­ture XFEL with high rep­e­ti­tion rate

The High En­ergy Pho­ton Source (HEPS) is a planned ul­tra-low emit­tance syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion based light source which re­quires high pre­ces­sion con­trol sys­tems for both ac­cel­er­a­tor and beam­lines. Such kind of ac­cel­er­a­tors will re­quire ex­tremely so­phis­ti­cated high-level con­trol soft­ware for both ac­cel­er­a­tor and beam­line op­er­a­tion to achieve not only the de­manded pre­ci­sion but also high re­li­a­bil­ity. This paper out­lines the high-level ap­pli­ca­tion soft­ware ar­chi­tec­ture de­sign in­clud­ing re­la­tional data-bases, soft­ware plat­forms, and ad­vanced con­trols with ma­chine learn­ing (ML) tech­niques. Early plan for beam-line con­trol is also re­ported. For bet­ter qual­ity con­trol and easy main­te­nance, the high-level ap­pli­ca­tions will be built upon ma­tured soft­ware plat­forms. Also, the HEPS High-Level Soft­ware team will col­lab­o­rate with EPICS com­mu­nity for im­prov­ing the soft­ware plat­forms.

  The High En­ergy Pho­ton Source (HEPS) is a fourth gen­er­a­tion light source in China and will be built in this year. The emit­tance of HEPS stor­age ring is ap­proach­ing dif­frac­tion limit and the cir­cum­stance of the ring is about 1.3 kilo­me­tres. To sta­bi­lize the elec­tron beam, fast orbit feed­back (FOFB) sys­tem is pre­req­ui­site. In this paper, the re­quire­ments on the HEPS beam sta­bil­ity are dis­cussed and an al­ter­na­tive FOFB de­sign based on DBPM are in­tro­duced with al­go­rithm and ar­chi­tec­ture.

The High-Lu­mi­nos­ity Large Hadron Col­lider (HL-LHC) pro­ject aims to in­crease the ma­chine lu­mi­nos­ity by a fac­tor of 10 as com­pared to the LHC's de­sign value. To achieve this goal, a spe­cial type of elec­tron lens is being de­vel­oped. It uses a hol­low elec­tron beam which co-prop­a­gates with the hadron beam to act on any halo par­ti­cles with­out per­turb­ing the core of the beam. The over­lap­ping of both beams should be care­fully mon­i­tored. This con­tri­bu­tion pre­sents the de­sign prin­ci­ple and de­tailed char­ac­ter­is­tics of a new su­per­sonic gas jet-based beam pro­file mon­i­tor. In con­trast to ear­lier mon­i­tors, it re­lies on flu­o­res­cence light emit­ted by the gas mol­e­cules in the jet fol­low­ing in­ter­ac­tion with the pri­mary hadron beams. A ded­i­cated pro­to­type has been de­signed and built at the Cock­croft In­sti­tute and is being com­mis­sioned. De­tails about mon­i­tor in­te­gra­tion, achiev­able res­o­lu­tion and dy­namic range will be given.

High-res­o­lu­tion bunch length mea­sure­ment is of the ut­most im­por­tance for cur­rent and fu­ture gen­er­a­tions of light sources and linacs. It is also key to the op­ti­mi­sa­tion of the final beam qual­ity in plasma-based ac­cel­er­a­tion. We pre­sent progress in the de­vel­op­ment of a novel RMS bunch length mon­i­tor based on imag­ing the co­her­ent dif­frac­tion ra­di­a­tion (CDR) pro­duced by a non-in­va­sive cir­cu­lar aper­ture. Due to the bunch lengths in­volved, the ra­di­a­tion pro­duced is in the THz range. This has led to the de­vel­op­ment of a novel THz imag­ing sys­tem, which can be ap­plied to low en­ergy elec­tron beams. For high en­ergy beams the imag­ing sys­tem can be used as a sin­gle shot tech­nique. Sim­u­la­tion re­sults show that the pro­file of a CDR image of a beam is sen­si­tive to bunch length and can thus be used as a di­ag­nos­tic. The as­so­ci­ated ben­e­fits of this imag­ing dis­tri­b­u­tion method­ol­ogy over the typ­i­cal an­gu­lar dis­tri­b­u­tion mea­sure­ment are dis­cussed. Plans for ex­per­i­ments con­ducted at the Swiss­FEL (PSI, Switzer­land), along with plans for fu­ture high en­ergy sin­gle shot mea­sure­ments are also pre­sented.

The ex­ploita­tion of op­ti­cal tran­si­tion ra­di­a­tion (OTR) in imag­ing-based di­ag­nos­tics for charged par­ti­cle beams is a well-es­tab­lished tech­nique. Sim­u­la­tions of the ex­pected OTR trans­verse beam pro­files are there­fore im­por­tant in both the de­sign of such imag­ing sys­tems and the analy­sis of the data. Sim­u­lat­ing OTR im­ages is rel­a­tively straight­for­ward for low en­ergy elec­tron beams. How­ever, in the near fu­ture elec­tron ma­chines will be using high-en­ergy and low-emit­tance beams. Using such pa­ra­me­ters can be chal­leng­ing to sim­u­late, and can be lim­it­ing in their ac­count of prac­ti­cal fac­tors, e.g. chro­matic aber­ra­tions. In this work we show sys­tem­at­i­cally that the use of low-en­ergy pa­ra­me­ters in high-en­ergy OTR image sim­u­la­tions in­duces lit­tle de­vi­a­tion in the re­sult­ing trans­verse beam pro­files. Sim­u­la­tions there­fore be­come much eas­ier to per­form, and fur­ther analy­sis may be per­formed. This opens up ex­cit­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties to per­form sim­u­la­tions quicker and with re­duced de­mands on the com­pu­ta­tion re­quire­ments. It will be shown in this con­tri­bu­tion how this ap­proach will en­able en­hanced ways to op­ti­mize OTR di­ag­nos­tics.

In order to re­duce the ver­ti­cal emit­tance at the Cor­nell Elec­tron Stor­age Ring (CESR), we first mea­sure and cor­rect the ver­ti­cal orbit, dis­per­sion, and cou­pling. How­ever, due to the fi­nite res­o­lu­tion of our op­tics mea­sure­ments, we still re­tain a sig­nif­i­cant resid­ual emit­tance. In order to cor­rect this fur­ther, we made use of the the­ory of sloppy mod­els, ac­cord­ing to which cer­tain high-di­men­sion­al­ity sys­tems can be mod­eled with sig­nif­i­cantly fewer "eigen­pa­ra­me­ters" that still con­tain most of the ef­fect on the de­sired ob­jec­tive, in this case, the emit­tance.* How­ever, we noted that using these knobs for tun­ing often re­sulted in in­creased ver­ti­cal orbit er­rors. In an at­tempt to con­strain these, we have ap­plied multi-ob­jec­tive ge­netic al­go­rithms to this prob­lem. We have found that it can be more ef­fi­cient to run such al­go­rithms using our eigen­pa­ra­me­ters as the genes to be var­ied, as op­posed to the raw mag­net val­ues. When run­ning with the first 8 such knobs as genes, we can get ei­ther or­bits or beam sizes as good as we ob­tain with our reg­u­lar emit­tance-tun­ing al­go­rithm which uses all the cor­rec­tor mag­nets.

Trans­verse ver­ti­cal wake fields can in­crease the ver­ti­cal emit­tance and dis­tort the phase space of a bunch in a stor­age ring. Re­cently, we ob­served charge-de­pen­dent ver­ti­cal beam size growth with a sin­gle scraper in­serted through the top of the stor­age ring vac­uum cham­ber. This ap­par­ent growth was due in large part to the yz cou­pling (ver­ti­cal crab­bing) in­duced by the wake field from the asym­met­ric scraper con­fig­u­ra­tion. Here, we re­port a di­rect mea­sure­ment of a small beam yz crab­bing tilt using a streak cam­era. The recorded im­ages (pro­jected beam pro­files in yz plane) are an­a­lyzed with three dif­fer­ent meth­ods, which yield con­sis­tent beam yz tilts. We found the di­rectly-mea­sured cur­rent-de­pen­dent beam tilts by the streak cam­era are con­sis­tent with the beam tilts cal­cu­lated from a wake field model.

  New gen­er­a­tion light sources such as X-ray free-elec­tron lasers* and at­to­science cen­ters** re­quire high de­mand for tim­ing syn­chro­niza­tion, on the order of few fem­tosec­onds or below, to gen­er­ate ul­tra­short X-ray pulses that en­ables at­tosec­ond tem­po­ral and sub­atomic spa­tial res­o­lu­tion. The chal­lenge in achiev­ing this sci­en­tific dream lies in part in a re­li­able, high-pre­ci­sion tim­ing dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem that can syn­chro­nize var­i­ous op­ti­cal and mi­crowave sources across multi-km dis­tances with good long-term sta­bil­ity. It was shown that the pulsed-op­ti­cal tim­ing dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem can de­liver sub-fs long-term tim­ing pre­ci­sion be­tween re­motely syn­chro­nized lasers and mi­crowave sources in lab­o­ra­tory en­vi­ron­ment.*** We pre­sent the lat­est re­sults from the com­mis­sion­ing of China's first multi-link pulse-based op­ti­cal tim­ing dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem (TDS) in­stalled at Dalian Co­her­ent Light Source. Long term op­er­at­ing re­sults of the fully-au­to­mated po­lar­iza­tion-main­tain­ing TDS, as well as lessons learned and rec­om­men­da­tions for fu­ture im­prove­ments, are pre­sented, in­clud­ing per­for­mance of the tim­ing-sta­bi­lized PM fiber links, mi­crowave end-sta­tions and ul­tra­fast laser syn­chro­niza­tion end-sta­tions.

The OCELOT op­ti­mizer has been ported to the PETRA con­trol sys­tem and proof-of-prin­ci­ple tests of trans­mis­sion ef­fi­ciency op­ti­miza­tion done. We fur­ther argue that the next steps in tun­ing and au­toma­tion are im­pos­si­ble with­out re­think­ing the ar­chi­tec­ture of the high level con­tol sys­tem. A pos­si­ble ap­proach to the new sys­tem is then sketched.

WEPAF046 RF Electronics for the Measurement of Beam Induced Higher Order Modes (HOM) Implemented in the MicroTCA.4 Form Factor 1916

  Higher order modes (HOM) ex­cited in RF ac­cel­er­at­ing cav­i­ties by a par­ti­cle beam can be used for elec­tron beam di­ag­nos­tics. Phase of a mono­pole HOM pro­vides in­for­ma­tion about the beam phase rel­a­tive to the ex­ter­nally in­duced RF field in a cav­ity (BPhM) [1]. Fur­ther­more, the am­pli­tude of a di­pole mode is pro­por­tional to the beam po­si­tion in the cav­ity, hence it can be used for beam po­si­tion mon­i­tor­ing (BPM). In this paper we pre­sent a pro­to­type of an in­stru­ment im­ple­mented in the Mi­coTCA.4 form fac­tor for the mea­sure­ment of the HOMs at FLASH and Eu-XFEL. The pro­to­type con­sists of an ana­log mod­ule, which is used for fil­ter­ing and con­di­tion­ing of the se­lected modes, and a dig­i­tal mod­ule re­spon­si­ble for dig­i­ti­za­tion and sig­nal pro­cess­ing. We pre­sent the in­stru­ments per­for­mance and dis­cuss its in­flu­ence on the pre­ci­sion of the HOM-based di­ag­nos­tics.

    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  The Eu­ro­pean-XFEL (E-XFEL) is an X-ray Free Elec­tron Laser fa­cil­ity lo­cated in Ham­burg (Ger­many). The su­per­con­duct­ing ac­cel­er­a­tor for up to 17.5 GeV elec­trons will pro­vide pho­tons si­mul­ta­ne­ously to sev­eral user sta­tions. Cur­rently 12 Wire Scan­ner sta­tions are used to image trans­verse beam pro­files in the high en­ergy sec­tions. These scan­ners pro­vide a slow scan mode which is cur­rently used to mea­sure beam emit­tance and beam halo dis­tri­b­u­tions. When op­er­at­ing with long bunch trains (>100 bunches) also fast scans are planned to mea­sure beam sizes in an al­most non­de­struc­tive man­ner. This paper de­scribes the cur­rent in­stal­la­tions and the lat­est de­vel­op­ments of the sys­tem at Eu­ro­pean-XFEL. Fur­ther­more, the com­mis­sion­ing sta­tus of the sys­tem and first re­sults of beam halo stud­ies will be shown.

    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  His­tor­i­cally the FLASH (Free Elec­tron Laser in Ham­burg) fa­cil­ity at DESY (Deutsches Elek­tro­nen-Syn­chro­tron) in Ger­many has fore­seen op­er­a­tion in a charge range from 1nC-3nC for which a VME based BPM(Beam Po­si­tion Mon­i­tor) sys­tem has been in op­er­a­tion since 2005. For a cou­ple of years the stan­dard ma­chine op­er­a­tion has been set­tled at a few hun­dreds of pC with the ten­dency for smaller charges down to 100pC and smaller. The avail­abil­ity and res­o­lu­tion per­for­mance of the BPM sys­tem at charges below 300pC in many lo­ca­tions along the ma­chine was un­sat­is­fac­tory. In the last cou­ple of years a new BPM elec­tronic sys­tem based on the utca stan­dard has been de­vel­oped to over­come these lim­i­ta­tions. A sub­stan­tially im­proved ver­sion of the ana­log fron­tend and dig­i­tal elec­tron­ics has been de­vel­oped in 2016 and tested suc­cess­fully. Dur­ing shut­down works at FLASH in sum­mer 2017 all old but­ton and strip-line BPM elec­tron­ics has been re­placed with the new type of elec­tron­ics. This paper sum­ma­rizes the fea­tures and per­for­mance of the new BPM sys­tem, com­pares the beam jit­ter free res­o­lu­tion of old and new BPM sys­tem and high­lights its high sin­gle shot res­o­lu­tion of bet­ter than 10um at a charge of 15pC.

  The Eu­ro­pean XFEL(X-Ray Free Elec­tron Laser) at DESY(Deutsches Elek­tro­nen-Syn­chro­tron) in Ham­burg/Sch­ene­feld started com­mis­sion­ing in early 2017. Be­fore the pulsed elec­tron beam is ac­cel­er­ated to its final en­ergy of 14 GeV, the en­ergy of the bunch can be com­pressed in three bunch com­pres­sion chi­canes at 130 MeV, 700 MeV and 2400 MeV. The vac­uum cham­ber in these sec­tions is ta­pered from 40 mm round beam pipe to a 40 cm rec­tan­gu­lar shaped vac­uum sec­tion. A cus­tom made but­ton array type of BPM(Beam po­si­tion Mon­i­tor) is in­stalled in this sec­tion with 26 but­ton elec­trode feed-throughs. The ana­log and dig­i­tal read­out elec­tron­ics for this mon­i­tor and the first ex­pe­ri­ence with the cal­i­bra­tion and op­er­a­tional as­pects of this sys­tem are pre­sented in this poster.

  The pro­to­type of a novel X-band trans­verse de­flec­tion struc­ture, the Po­lar­iz­able X-band (Po­lariX) TDS*, is cur­rently being pre­pared for in­stal­la­tion in the FLASH­For­ward beam­line** at DESY in early 2019. This struc­ture will have the novel fea­ture of vari­able po­lar­iza­tion of the de­flect­ing mode, al­low­ing bunches to be streaked at any trans­verse angle, rather than at just one angle as in a con­ven­tional cav­ity. By com­bin­ing screen pro­files from sev­eral streak­ing an­gles using to­mo­graphic re­con­struc­tion tech­niques, the full 3D charge den­sity of a bunch can be ob­tained***. It is planned to per­form this mea­sure­ment for the first time dur­ing com­mis­sion­ing of the struc­ture. In this paper, sim­u­la­tions of this mea­sure­ment are pre­sented and the ef­fects of jit­ter are dis­cussed.

  The Eu­ro­pean X-ray Free-Elec­tron Laser (XFEL) at Deutsches Elek­tro­nen-Syn­chro­tron (DESY), Ham­burg, Ger­many is a user fa­cil­ity pro­vid­ing ul­tra­short hard and soft X-ray flashes with a high bril­liance. All LLRF sta­tions of the in­jec­tor, cov­er­ing the nor­mal con­duct­ing RF gun, A1 (8 1.3 GHz su­per­con­duct­ing cav­i­ties (SCs)) and AH1 (8 3.9 GHz SCs), were suc­cess­fully com­mis­sioned by the end of 2015. The com­mis­sion­ing of LLRF sta­tions A2 to A23 (32 1.3 GHz SCs each) in the XFEL ac­cel­er­a­tor tun­nel (XTL) was con­cluded in June 2017. SASE light was pro­duced in SASE un­du­la­tor sec­tion SA1 and de­liv­ered to the first users in Sep­tem­ber 2017, mark­ing the be­gin­ning of reg­u­lar user op­er­a­tion. The cur­rent state of the LLRF sys­tems, the ex­pe­ri­ence gained dur­ing op­er­a­tion and the per­for­mance achieved in terms of sta­bil­ity and en­ergy reach are pre­sented.

The mi­cro­phon­ics as well as a pen­doro­mo­tive ef­fects are sensed, iden­tify and ap­plied for cav­ity de­tun­ing cor­rec­tion. The RF and piezo feed­backs per­for­mance are demon­strated and pre­lim­i­nary re­sults are briefly dis­cussed.

  The Eu­ro­pean XFEL MTCA based Beam Loss Mon­i­tor Sys­tem (BLM) is com­posed of about 450 mon­i­tors, which are part of the Ma­chine Pro­tec­tion Sys­tem (MPS). The BLMs de­tect losses of the elec­tron beam, in order to pro­tect ac­cel­er­a­tor com­po­nents from dam­age and ex­ces­sive ac­ti­va­tion, in par­tic­u­lar the un­du­la­tors, since they are made of per­ma­nent mag­nets. Also each cold ac­cel­er­at­ing mod­ule is equipped with a BLM to mea­sure the sud­den onset of field emis­sion (dark cur­rent) in cav­i­ties. In ad­di­tion some BLMs are used as de­tec­tors for wire- scan­ners. Ex­pe­ri­ence from the al­ready run­ning BLM sys­tem in FLASH2 which is based on the same tech­nol­ogy, led to a fast im­ple­men­ta­tion of the sys­tem in the XFEL. Fur­ther firmware and server de­vel­op­ments re­lated to alarm gen­er­a­tion and han­dling are on­go­ing. The BLM sys­tems struc­ture, the cur­rent sta­tus and the dif­fer­ent pos­si­bil­i­ties to trig­ger alarms which stop the elec­tron beam will be pre­sented.

The tool is flex­i­ble in that con­trol vari­ables in order to op­ti­mise ob­jec­tives (or their func­tions) can be eas­ily spec­i­fied by means of EPICS process vari­ables (PV), mak­ing it suit­able for vir­tu­ally any sort of op­ti­miza­tion.

  The SPEAR3 tim­ing sys­tem sup­plies a 10Hz trig­ger pulse syn­chro­nous with charge in­jec­tion into the main stor­age ring. In the past the 10Hz pulse train has been used to study in­jected charge tran­sients as seen by vis­i­ble-light syn­chro­tron ra­di­a­tion di­ag­nos­tics and turn-by-turn BPMs. More re­cently the 10Hz pulse has been used to syn­chro­nize the bunch-by-bunch feed­back data ac­qui­si­tion sys­tem with other trig­gered di­ag­nos­tic sys­tems. The suite of mea­sure­ment sys­tems can be used to study in­jected beam dy­nam­ics, grow/damp in­sta­bil­ity tran­sients and drive/damp physics.

  Re­cently a trans­verse bunch-by-bunch feed­back kicker was in­stalled in SPEAR3 to con­trol beam in­sta­bil­i­ties, re­move un­wanted satel­lite bunches and test res­o­nant bunch ex­ci­ta­tion schemes for short pulse x-ray pro­duc­tion. In con­junc­tion with DIM­TEL pro­cess­ing elec­tron­ics, the feed­back sys­tem can suc­cess­fully sta­bi­lize un­de­sir­able beam modes and opens up the po­ten­tial for more ad­vanced in­ves­ti­ga­tions of bunch-by-bunch beam dy­nam­ics. To stream­line the process, a graph­i­cal user in­ter­face was de­vel­oped that al­lows the user to 'script' beam physics mea­sure­ments from a sin­gle panel. At the press of a but­ton the panel au­to­mat­i­cally down­loads the mea­sure­ment pa­ra­me­ters, ac­quires the raw data and pro­vides graph­i­cal dis­plays of the beam re­sponse with cal­cu­lated meta­data. In this paper we pre­sent the in­ter­face for­mat and ex­am­ples of au­to­mated mea­sure­ments.

  Nowa­days the pop­u­lar­ity of Laser Wake­field Ac­cel­er­a­tors (LWFA) is in­creas­ingly grow­ing. Al­though the qual­ity of the beams pro­duced by LWFA is still lower than pro­vided by con­ven­tional ac­cel­er­a­tors, they have great po­ten­tial to be con­sid­ered as a new basis for fu­ture FELs and even col­lid­ers. Laser Un­du­la­tor X-ray (LUX) source is being com­mis­sioned at ELI-beam­lines in Czech Re­pub­lic. The goal of this ma­chine is to pro­vide pho­ton beam in so called "water win­dow" wave­length re­gion for user ex­per­i­ments. Pos­si­ble up­grade of the fa­cil­ity to­wards the LWFA based FEL is also con­sid­ered. The elec­tron beam di­ag­nos­tics is ab­solutely cru­cial for achiev­ing the aim of LUX. Spe­cific prop­er­ties of the beam pro­duced by cur­rent LWFA, such as low charge, poor beam sta­bil­ity, big beam di­ver­gence and en­ergy spread, re­quire re­think­ing and adap­ta­tion of the con­ven­tional di­ag­nos­tic tools and, in some cases, de­vel­op­ment of new ones. Ide­ally, they have to be com­pact, sta­ble, non-in­va­sive and allow mea­sure­ments in sin­gle-shot mode. In this re­port we will pre­sent an overview and de­sign con­sid­er­a­tions for the LUX elec­tron beam main di­ag­nos­tics. We will also dis­cuss the hard­ware sta­tus and fu­ture plans.

Crit­i­cally cou­pled mi­crowave res­onator is a finely bal­anced sys­tem, re­flec­tion at the res­o­nance is vir­tu­ally zero. Small changes in di­elec­tric prop­er­ties of res­onator parts de­stroy this bal­ance, small re­flec­tion can be de­tected from the res­onator. This mea­sure­ment is used in elec­tron para­mag­netic res­o­nance stud­ies. In this paper we dis­cuss two ac­cel­er­a­tor - re­lated ap­pli­ca­tions of this tech­nol­ogy. First is re­lated to beam halo mea­sure­ment tak­ing ad­van­tage of high sen­si­tiv­ity of the mi­crowave mea­sure­ment. High en­ergy par­ti­cles cross­ing the di­a­mond in­side of a tuned res­onator in­duce a weak con­duc­tiv­ity in the sens­ing ma­te­r­ial. This small change re­sults in res­onator de­cou­pling pro­vid­ing a sig­nal pro­por­tional to a num­ber of par­ti­cles cross­ing the di­a­mond plate. Sec­ond ap­pli­ca­tion con­sid­ered is the x-ray flux mon­i­tor­ing. In this case it is x-ray in­duced pho­to­con­duc­tiv­ity which al­ters res­onator cou­pling and pro­duces a sig­nal. In­ter­est­ingly, sens­ing di­elec­tric ma­te­r­ial em­bed­ded in a res­onator can be a di­a­mond or kap­ton win­dow, re­frac­tive lens or part of a sil­i­con mono­chro­ma­tor. Thus an in­evitable x-ray ab­sorp­tion on op­ti­cal el­e­ments of the beam­line is used to mon­i­tor x-ray flux on­line.

  A Beam Po­si­tion Mon­i­tor (BPM) sys­tem is es­sen­tial to beam di­ag­nos­tics for al­most all par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tors. How­ever, a typ­i­cal BPM sys­tem con­tains cus­tomized hard­ware and com­pli­cated pro­cess­ing elec­tron­ics which con­sid­er­ably drive the cost for large fa­cil­i­ties where hun­dreds of them may be used. It also lim­its its use in the small scale ac­cel­er­a­tor fa­cil­i­ties. In the paper, we pre­sent a low cost BPM sys­tem which con­sists of a com­mer­cial avail­able CF flange based sig­nal pickup de­vice, a low cost in­te­grated cir­cuit ad­ja­cent to the pickup to fil­ter, sam­ple, dig­i­tize, and broad­cast the sig­nals out of the pickup elec­trodes. The dig­i­tal sig­nal is trans­mit­ted out for post pro­cess­ing through noise-pro­tected Wi-Fi router. We will briefly dis­cuss the work­ing prin­ci­ple and ex­per­i­men­tal progress to date.

  Mod­ern par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tors uti­lize pho­toin­jec­tors and com­pres­sion schemes to pro­duce short high peak cur­rent elec­tron bunches for var­i­ous ap­pli­ca­tions like x-ray free elec­tron lasers, high gra­di­ent beam dri­ven ac­cel­er­a­tion and oth­ers. Bunch length de­tec­tion is a de­sired di­ag­nos­tics for such ma­chines. In this paper we de­scribe a non-in­va­sive, real-time de­tec­tor which can be retro­fit­ted into an ex­ist­ing beam­line and mea­sure the bunch length in real time using in­ter­fer­o­met­ric meth­ods. Dif­frac­tion ra­di­a­tion is the mech­a­nism to be used to pro­duce a mea­sur­able sig­nal with­out in­ter­cept­ing the beam. This be­came pos­si­ble as sen­si­tiv­ity of py­rode­tec­tors im­proved over the years, while peak beam power grew. For high peak cur­rent beams there is a pos­si­bil­ity of a sin­gle shot mea­sure­ment. This can be done with a pair of closely placed vac­uum breaks that cre­ate a spa­tial cor­re­la­tion of the gen­er­ated sig­nals which can be mea­sured by a pyro-de­tec­tor array or a THz cam­era. The bunch length is de­ter­mined from the cor­re­la­tion data using an it­er­a­tive beam pro­file re­cov­ery al­go­rithm.

  The ap­pli­ca­tion of ma­chine learn­ing meth­ods and con­cepts of ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence can be found in var­i­ous in­dus­try and sci­en­tific branches. In Ac­cel­er­a­tor Physics the ma­chine learn­ing ap­proach has not found a wide ap­pli­ca­tion yet. This paper is de­voted to eval­u­a­tion of ma­chine learn­ing meth­ods aim­ing to im­prove the op­tics mea­sure­ments and cor­rec­tions at LHC. The main sub­jects of the study are de­voted to recog­ni­tion and analy­sis of faulty beam po­si­tion mon­i­tors and pre­dic­tion of quadru­pole er­rors using clus­ter­ing al­go­rithms, de­ci­sion trees and ar­ti­fi­cial neural net­works. The re­sults pre­sented in this paper clearly show the suit­abil­ity of ma­chine learn­ing meth­ods for the op­tics con­trol at LHC and the po­ten­tial for fur­ther in­ves­ti­ga­tion on ap­pro­pri­ate ap­proaches.

WEPAF063 RF Manipulations for Special LHC-Type Beams in the CERN PS 1971

    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  Beams with spe­cial lon­gi­tu­di­nal char­ac­ter­is­tics for the Large Hadron Col­lider (LHC) have been pro­duced in the Pro­ton Syn­chro­tron (PS) and CERN. The flex­i­bil­ity of its RF sys­tems con­sist­ing of in total 25 RF cav­i­ties at fre­quen­cies from 400 kHz to 200 MHz al­lows a va­ri­ety of lon­gi­tu­di­nal beam ma­nip­u­la­tions. In par­tic­u­lar the main RF sys­tem is split into three in­de­pen­dent groups tun­able from 2.8 MHz to 10 MHz. It is used to merge, split and change the spac­ing be­tween bunches by ap­ply­ing dif­fer­ent volt­age and phase pro­grams to the three groups of cav­i­ties at dif­fer­ent har­monic num­bers si­mul­ta­ne­ously. The batch com­pres­sion, merg­ing and split­ting (BCMS) process has been op­er­a­tionally used for LHC fill­ings since 2016. To mit­i­gate is­sues with long bunch trains in the LHC in 2017, short gaps of four bunch po­si­tions have been in­tro­duced be­tween mini-batches of eight bunches (8b4e). A higher bright­ness ver­sion re­sult­ing in four mini-batches per PS ex­trac­tion has been de­liv­ered for lu­mi­nos­ity pro­duc­tion in the LHC. This paper sum­ma­rizes the op­er­a­tional ex­pe­ri­ence and in­di­cates pos­si­ble fu­ture RF ma­nip­u­la­tion schemes.

  At CERN a Beam In­ter­lock Sys­tem (BIS) pro­tects ac­cel­er­a­tors from ac­ci­den­tal and un­con­trolled re­lease of beam en­ergy, avoid­ing ma­chine down­time. Through­out the ac­cel­er­a­tor com­plex nu­mer­ous crit­i­cal sub­sys­tems, in­clud­ing power con­vert­ers, in­ter­act with the BIS in­di­cat­ing their readi­ness for op­er­a­tion with beam. Power con­vert­ers play a vital role in es­tab­lish­ing op­er­a­tional con­di­tions, and an un­mit­i­gated power con­verter mal­func­tion could lead to dam­age to the ma­chine. For ex­am­ple a bend­ing mag­net con­verter set at an in­cor­rect cur­rent would re­sult in an in­cor­rect field strength, and beam pass­ing through this may im­pact and dam­age the ma­chine. A fast and de­pend­able Beam In­ter­lock Mech­a­nism is re­quired be­tween power con­vert­ers and BIS, ver­i­fy­ing that volt­age and cur­rent lev­els are within tol­er­ances. This paper de­scribes the de­sign and re­al­i­sa­tion of the Beam In­ter­lock Mech­a­nism, based on CERN's Func­tion Gen­er­a­tor Con­troller (FGC), the cen­tral pro­cess­ing unit power con­verter con­trol. Par­tic­u­lar em­pha­sis is placed on the sys­tem ar­chi­tec­ture re­quired to as­sure the in­tegrity of the power con­verter pa­ra­me­ters, and the pro­tec­tion of the CERN ac­cel­er­a­tor com­plex.

  A com­plete so­lu­tion has been pro­posed for the pre-align­ment of the CLIC main linac in 2012 for the Con­cep­tual De­sign Re­port. Two re­cent stud­ies pro­vide new per­spec­tives for such a pre-align­ment. First in a study on Par­ti­cle Ac­cel­er­a­tor Com­po­nents' Metrol­ogy and Align­ment to the Nanome­tre scale (PAC­MAN), new so­lu­tions to fidu­cialise and align dif­fer­ent types of com­po­nents within a mi­cro­met­ric ac­cu­racy on the same sup­port were pro­posed and val­i­dated, using a stretched wire. Sec­ondly, a 5 de­gree of free­dom ad­just­ment plat­form with plug-in mo­tors showed a very ac­cu­rate and ef­fi­cient way to ad­just re­motely com­po­nents. By com­bin­ing the re­sults of both stud­ies, two sce­nar­ios of in­stal­la­tion and align­ment for the CLIC main linac are pro­posed, pro­vid­ing mi­cro­met­ric and au­tom­a­tized so­lu­tions of mi­cro­met­ric as­sem­bly, fidu­cial­i­sa­tion and align­ment in metro­log­i­cal labs or in the tun­nel. In this paper, the out­come of the two stud­ies are pre­sented; the two sce­nar­ios of in­stal­la­tion and align­ment are then de­tailed and dis­cussed.

  In the last few years align­ment and mon­i­tor­ing sys­tems based on BCAM* cam­eras ac­tive sen­sors, or their HBCAM evo­lu­tion, have been de­vel­oped at the re­quest of the Tech­ni­cal Co­or­di­na­tion of LHC ex­per­i­ments and HIE-ISOLDE fa­cil­ity Pro­ject Leader. ADEPO (ATLAS DE­tec­tor PO­si­tion) has been de­signed to speed up the pre­cise clo­sure - 0.3 mm - of large de­tec­tor parts rep­re­sent­ing in total ~2500 tons. For LHCb a sys­tem has been stud­ied and in­stalled to mon­i­tor the po­si­tions of the Inner Tracker sta­tions dur­ing the LHCb di­pole mag­net cy­cles. The MATHILDE (Mon­i­tor­ing and Align­ment Track­ing for HIE-ISOLDE) sys­tem has been de­vel­oped to ful­fil the align­ment and mon­i­tor­ing needs for com­po­nents of the LINAC en­closed in suc­ces­sive Cryo-Mod­ules. These sys­tems have been in each case con­fig­ured and adapted to the ob­jec­tives and en­vi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions: low space for in­te­gra­tion; pres­ence of mag­netic fields; ex­po­sure to non-stan­dard en­vi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions such as high vac­uum and cryo­genic tem­per­a­tures. After a short de­scrip­tion of the dif­fer­ent sys­tems and of the en­vi­ron­men­tal con­straints, this paper sum­ma­rizes their first re­sults, per­for­mances and their added value.

For the HL-LHC pro­ject, the cryostats of the key com­po­nents will be equipped per­ma­nently with an on-line po­si­tion mon­i­tor­ing sys­tem based on Fre­quency Scan­ning In­ter­fer­om­e­try (FSI). Such a sys­tem, based on ab­solute dis­tance mea­sure­ment, will de­ter­mine the po­si­tion of the inner triplet cold masses w.r.t. their cryo­stat and the po­si­tion of the crab cav­i­ties also in­side their cryo­stat, within an un­cer­tainty of mea­sure­ment of 0.1 mm, in a harsh en­vi­ron­ment: cold tem­per­a­ture of 2 K and high ra­di­a­tion level of the order of 1 MGy. The FSI sys­tem was val­i­dated first suc­cess­fully on one LHC di­pole cryo­stat and its as­so­ci­ated cold mass to un­dergo qual­i­fi­ca­tion tests under dif­fer­ent con­di­tions: warm, vac­uum and cold (2K). The FSI sys­tem also equips the first crab cav­i­ties pro­to­type cryo­stat. The con­fig­u­ra­tion of the FIS sys­tem cho­sen after sim­u­la­tions, the con­di­tions of tests as well as their re­sults and analy­sis are pre­sented in this paper.

WEPAF069 Evaluation of Frequency Scanning Interferometer Performances for Surveying, Alignment and Monitoring of Physics Instrumentation 1990

  Dur­ing the last three years, the per­for­mance of Fre­quency Scan­ning In­ter­fer­om­e­try, ac­cu­rate to a few mi­crome­tres, has been eval­u­ated at CERN in the frame of the PAC­MAN pro­ject. Im­prove­ments have been stud­ied and tested to make it bet­ter suited for typ­i­cal align­ment and sur­vey con­di­tions in ac­cel­er­a­tors and ex­per­i­ments. The re­sults of these de­vel­op­ments and tests, cou­pled with the multi-chan­nel ca­pa­bil­ity of the sys­tem, and its com­pact­ness which eases its in­te­gra­tion in the area to be sur­veyed, offer a wide scope of pos­si­ble ap­pli­ca­tions for in-situ large scale metrol­ogy for physics equip­ment and fa­cil­ity el­e­ments. Fur­ther­more, the fact that the sys­tem elec­tron­ics can be placed far away from the po­si­tion to be mea­sured, al­lows the sys­tem to be used in con­fined and haz­ardous spaces. This paper briefly de­scribes the sys­tem and its im­prove­ments. It gives the pre­ci­sion ob­tained for dis­tance mea­sure­ments and for the 3D point re­con­struc­tion based on FSI ob­ser­va­tions in the case of CLIC com­po­nent fidu­cial­i­sa­tion.

  The Ad­vanced Pro­ton Dri­ven Plasma Wake­field Ac­cel­er­a­tion Ex­per­i­ment (AWAKE) is a pro­ject at CERN aim­ing to ac­cel­er­ate an elec­tron bunch in a plasma wake­field dri­ven by a pro­ton bunch*. The plasma is in­duced in a 10 m long Ru­bid­ium vapour cell using a pulsed Ti:Sap­phire laser, with the wake­field formed by a pro­ton bunch from the CERN SPS. A 16 MeV elec­tron bunch is si­mul­ta­ne­ously in­jected into the plasma cell to be ac­cel­er­ated by the wake­field to en­er­gies in GeV range over this short dis­tance. After suc­cess­ful runs with the pro­ton and laser beams, the elec­tron beam line was in­stalled and com­mis­sioned at the end of 2017 to pro­duce and in­ject a suit­able elec­tron bunch into the plasma cell. To achieve the goals of the ex­per­i­ment, it is im­por­tant to have re­li­able beam in­stru­men­ta­tion mea­sur­ing the var­i­ous pa­ra­me­ters of the pro­ton, elec­tron and laser beams such as trans­verse po­si­tion, trans­verse pro­file as well as tem­po­ral syn­chro­niza­tion. This con­tri­bu­tion pre­sents the sta­tus of the beam in­stru­men­ta­tion in AWAKE, in­clud­ing the new in­stru­ments in­cor­po­rated into the sys­tem for mea­sure­ments with the elec­tron beam line, and re­ports on the per­for­mance achieved dur­ing the AWAKE runs in 2017.

  For the fu­ture hadron Col­lider (FCC-hh) being stud­ied at CERN a strong trans­verse feed­back sys­tem is re­quired to damp cou­pled bunch in­sta­bil­i­ties. This sys­tem is also planned to be used for in­jec­tion damp­ing. Based on the LHC trans­verse feed­back de­sign we de­rive re­quire­ments for power and kick strength for this sys­tem for the dif­fer­ent op­tions of bunch spac­ing, 25 ns and 5 ns, and in­jec­tion en­ergy. Op­er­a­tion at high gain and close to a half in­te­ger tune is being con­sid­ered and con­strains the lay­out and sig­nal pro­cess­ing. Re­quire­ments for the pick-up res­o­lu­tion are de­rived from the need to keep the emit­tance in­crease small. The per­for­mance is eval­u­ated using nu­mer­i­cal sim­u­la­tions based on the head­tail code. Fu­ture areas of re­search and de­vel­op­ment and pos­si­ble pro­to­type de­vel­op­ments are out­lined.

Build­ing on the suc­cess of our 4GSa/s wide­band trans-verse feed­back sys­tem, we have begun de­vel­op­ment of a next gen­er­a­tion ul­tra-wide­band feed­back proces­sor which dou­bles the ef­fec­tive sam­pling rate to 8GSa/s. This higher sam­pling rate and pro­por­tional in­crease in ana­log band-width en­able en­hanced flex­i­bil­ity and di­ag­nos­tics for ac­cel­er­a­tor trans­verse feed­back such as con­trol of higher-or­der modes, more de­tailed di­ag­nos­tic in­for­ma­tion, im-proved SNR and two chan­nel pro­cess­ing of total charge and orbit sig­nals, with mul­ti­ple pick­ups. Though tar­geted for on­go­ing trans­verse in­tra-bunch in­sta­bil­ity stud­ies at the CERN SPS with a 1.7ns bunch length, the in­creased per­for­mance paves the way for in­sta­bil­ity con­trol and di­ag­nos­tics ap­pli­ca­tions for other ma­chines such as the HL-LHC and FCC. This paper dis­cusses the be­gin­ning de­vel­op­ment process in­clud­ing an eval­u­a­tion of the high-est speed AtoD and DtoA data con­verter de­vices at time of this writ­ing and se­lec­tion of the de­vices used in our de­sign. It then de­scribes the ar­chi­tec­ture of the full 8GSa/s pro­to­type feed­back proces­sor and the de­sign ap­proach, which in­volves using both cus­tom and com­mer­cial com­po­nents en­abling rapid and flex­i­ble de­vel­op­ment.

  Based on re­cent mea­sure­ments of in­co­her­ent Cherenkov Dif­frac­tion Ra­di­a­tion (ChDR) per­formed on the Cor­nell Elec­tron Stor­age Ring, we pre­sent here a con­cept for the cen­ter­ing of charged par­ti­cle beams when pass­ing close to di­elec­tric ma­te­r­ial. This would find ap­pli­ca­tions as beam in­stru­men­ta­tion in di­elec­tric cap­il­lary tubes, typ­i­cally used in novel ac­cel­er­at­ing tech­nolo­gies, as well as in col­li­ma­tors using bent crys­tals for high-en­ergy, high-in­ten­sity hadron beams, such as the Large Hadron Col­lid-er or Fu­ture Cir­cu­lar Col­lider. As a charged par­ti­cle beam trav­els at a dis­tance of a few mm or less from the sur­face of a di­elec­tric ma­te­r­ial, in­co­her­ent ChDR is pro­duced in­side the di­elec­tric. The pho­tons are emit­ted at a large and well-de­fined angle that al­lows their de­tec­tion with a lim­ited con­tri­bu­tion of back­ground light. A set of ChDR de­tec­tors dis­trib­uted around a di­elec­tric would en­able both the beam po­si­tion and tilt angle to be mea­sured with a good res­o­lu­tion.

  In the early de­sign stages of an ac­cel­er­a­tor, an ef­fec­tive al­lo­ca­tion method is needed to trans­late an over­all ac­cel­er­a­tor avail­abil­ity goal into avail­abil­ity re­quire­ments for its sub­sys­tems. Dur­ing the al­lo­ca­tion process, many fac­tors are con­sid­ered to ob­tain so-called ‘com­plex­ity weights', which are at the basis of the sys­tem avail­abil­ity al­lo­ca­tion. Some of these fac­tors can be mea­sured quan­ti­ta­tively while other have to be as­sessed qual­i­ta­tively. Based on our analy­sis of fac­tors af­fect­ing avail­abil­ity, we list six cri­te­ria for com­plex­ity re­sult­ing in an avail­abil­ity al­lo­ca­tion of ac­cel­er­a­tor sub­sys­tems. Sys­tem ex­perts de­ter­mine the scales of fac­tors and re­la­tion­ships be­tween sub­sys­tems. In this paper, we con­sider four avail­abil­ity ap­por­tion­ment tech­niques to al­lo­cate com­plex­ity weights to sub­sys­tems. Fi­nally, we apply this method to the Com­pact Lin­ear Col­lider (CLIC) and we pro­pose an­other ap­pli­ca­tion of the com­plex­ity weights to the Large Hadron Col­lider (LHC).

WEPAF076 Availability Studies Comparing Drive Beam and Klystron Options for the Compact Linear Collider 2013

    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  The ini­tial pro­posal for the Com­pact Lin­ear Col­lider (CLIC) is based on a two beam-scheme to ac­cel­er­ate the main col­lid­ing beams. For low col­li­sion en­er­gies, the main beam could also be ac­cel­er­ated by pow­er­ing the ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­tures with kly­strons in­stead of the two-beam scheme. This paper stud­ies the fea­si­bil­ity of this new al­ter­na­tive in terms of ma­chine avail­abil­ity. An im­ple­mented bot­tom-up avail­abil­ity model con­sid­ers the com­po­nents fail­ure modes to es­ti­mate the over­all avail­abil­ity of the sys­tem. The model is de­fined within a Com­mon Input For­mat scheme and the Avail­Sim3 soft­ware pack­age is used for avail­abil­ity sim­u­la­tions. This paper gives an overview of the sys­tems af­fect­ing the beam pow­er­ing avail­abil­ity and makes rec­om­men­da­tions for avail­abil­ity im­prove­ments.

  Linac4 will re­place Linac2 as the first el­e­ment in the CERN pro­ton in­jec­tor chain from 2020 on­wards, fol­low­ing the sec­ond LHC long shut­down (LS2). With more than three times higher en­ergy and num­ber of compo-nents than Linac2, beam avail­abil­ity is one of the main chal­lenges of Linac4. In­tended as a smooth tran­si­tion from com­mis­sion­ing to op­er­a­tion, a Linac4 Re­li­a­bil­ity Run was started in July 2017 and is fore­seen to last until mid-May 2018. The goal is to achieve the tar­get avail­abil­ity of 95 %. This im­plies con­sol­i­dated rou­tine op­er­a­tion and iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of re­cur­ring prob­lems. This paper in­tro­duces the sched­ule and op­er­a­tional as­pects of the Linac4 Re­li­a­bil­ity Run, in­clud­ing the de­vel­oped tools and meth­ods for avail­abil­ity track­ing. The paper also sum­ma­rizes the lessons learned dur­ing the first pe­riod of the Linac4 Re­li­a­bil­ity Run with re­spect to fault track­ing and pro­vides an in-depth analy­sis of the fail­ure modes and ob­served avail­abil­ity.

  Beam losses at the LHC are con­stantly mon­i­tored be­cause they can heav­ily im­pact the per­for­mance of the ma­chine. One of the high­est risks is to quench the LHC su­per­con­duct­ing mag­nets in the pres­ence of losses lead­ing to a long ma­chine down­time in order to re­cover cryo­genic con­di­tions. Smaller losses are more likely to occur and have an im­pact on the ma­chine per­for­mance, re­duc­ing the lu­mi­nos­ity pro­duc­tion or re­duc­ing the life­time of ac­cel­er­a­tor sys­tems due to ra­di­a­tion ef­fects, such as mag­nets. Un­der­stand­ing the char­ac­ter­is­tics of the beam loss, such as the beam and the plane, is cru­cial in order to cor­rect them. Reg­u­larly dur­ing the year, ded­i­cated loss map mea­sure­ments are per­formed in order to val­i­date the beam halo clean­ing of the col­li­ma­tion sys­tem. These loss maps have the par­tic­u­lar ad­van­tage that they are per­formed in well con­trolled con­di­tions and can there­fore be used by a ma­chine learn­ing al­go­rithm to clas­sify the type of losses dur­ing the LHC ma­chine cycle. This study shows the re­sult of the beam loss clas­si­fi­ca­tion and its ret­ro­spec­tive ap­pli­ca­tion to beam loss data from the 2017 run.

  CERN op­er­ates and main­tains a large and com­plex tech­ni­cal in­fra­struc­ture serv­ing the ac­cel­er­a­tor com­plex and ex­per­i­ments de­tec­tors. A per­for­mance as­sess­ment and en­hance­ment frame­work based on data min­ing, ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence and ma­chine-learn­ing al­go­rithms is under de­vel­op­ment with the ob­jec­tive of struc­tur­ing, col­lect­ing and an­a­lyz­ing sys­tems and equip­ment op­er­a­tion and fail­ure data, to guide the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion and im­ple­men­ta­tion of ad­e­quate cor­rec­tive, pre­ven­tive and con­sol­i­da­tion in­ter­ven­tions. The frame­work is de­signed to col­lect and struc­ture the data, iden­tify and an­a­lyze the as­so­ci­ated dri­ving events. It de­vel­ops dy­nam­i­cally func­tional de­pen­den­cies and logic trees, de­scrip­tive and pre­dic­tive mod­els to sup­port op­er­a­tion and main­te­nance ac­tiv­i­ties to im­prove the re­li­a­bil­ity and avail­abil­ity of the in­stal­la­tions. To val­i­date the per­for­mance of the frame­work and qual­ity of the al­go­rithms sev­eral case stud­ies are being car­ried out. We re­port on the de­sign, im­ple­men­ta­tion and on the pre­lim­i­nary re­sults in­ferred on his­tor­i­cal and live stream data from CERN's tech­ni­cal in­fra­struc­ture. Pro­posal for the full de­ploy­ment and ex­pected long-term ca­pa­bil­i­ties will also be dis­cussed.

  Mea­sure­ments with quadrupo­lar pick-ups (PU) have at­tracted par­tic­u­lar in­ter­est as non-in­ter­cept­ing di­ag­nos­tics for de­ter­min­ing the trans­verse beam size. They are based on pro­cess­ing the sig­nals of an elec­tro­mag­netic PU for the ex­trac­tion of the sec­ond-or­der mo­ment, which con­tains in­for­ma­tion about the beam size. De­spite the sim­plic­ity of the con­cept, quadrupolo­lar mea­sure­ments have al­ways been highly chal­leng­ing in re­al­ity. This comes from the fact that the quadrupo­lar mo­ment con­sti­tutes only a very small part of the total PU sig­nal dom­i­nated by the in­ten­sity and the po­si­tion sig­nals. There­fore, the beam size in­for­ma­tion can eas­ily be lost due to small im­per­fec­tions in the sig­nal pro­cess­ing chain, such as asym­me­tries in the elec­tron­ics and ca­bles. In this paper, we pre­sent a new method for quadrupo­lar mea­sure­ments using mov­able PUs. Through po­si­tion and aper­ture scans, our tech­nique min­i­mizes the par­a­sitic beam po­si­tion sig­nal and takes into ac­count im­per­fec­tions of the PU, ca­bles and elec­tron­ics, thus en­abling an ef­fi­cient auto-cal­i­bra­tion of the mea­sure­ment sys­tem. Pre­lim­i­nary stud­ies, using col­li­ma­tors with em­bed­ded elec­tro­sta­tic PUs in the LHC at CERN, have shown very promis­ing re­sults.

  To fur­ther im­prove the per­for­mance and re­li­a­bil­ity of the quench de­tec­tion sys­tem (QDS) for main quadru­pole mag­nets in the Large Hadron Col­lider (LHC), there is a planned up­grade of the sys­tem dur­ing the long shut­down pe­riod of the LHC in 2019-2020. While im­prov­ing the al­ready ex­ist­ing func­tion­al­i­ties of quench de­tec­tion for quadru­pole mag­nets and field-bus data ac­qui­si­tion, the en­hanced QDS will in­cor­po­rate new func­tion­al­i­ties to strengthen and im­prove the sys­tem op­er­a­tion and main­te­nance. The new func­tion­al­i­ties com­prise quench heater su­per­vi­sion, in­ter­lock loop mon­i­tor­ing, power cy­cling pos­si­bil­ity for the whole QDS and its data ac­qui­si­tion part, mon­i­tor­ing and syn­chro­niza­tion of trig­ger sig­nals, and mon­i­tor­ing of power sup­plies. In ad­di­tion, the sys­tem will have two re­dun­dant power sup­ply feeds. Given that the en­hanced QDS units will re­place the ex­ist­ing QDS units in the LHC tun­nel, the units will be ex­posed to el­e­vated lev­els of ion­iz­ing ra­di­a­tion. There­fore, it is nec­es­sary to de­sign a ra­di­a­tion tol­er­ant de­tec­tion sys­tem. In this work, an overview of the de­sign so­lu­tion for such en­hanced QDS is pre­sented.

  Dur­ing the op­er­a­tion of the Large Hadron Col­lider (LHC) the con­tin­u­ous par­ti­cle losses cre­ate a mixed par­ti­cle ra­di­a­tion field in the LHC tun­nel and the ad­ja­cent cav­erns. Ex­posed elec­tron­ics and ac­cel­er­a­tor com­po­nents show dose de­pen­dent ac­cel­er­ated aging ef­fects. In order to achieve an op­ti­mal life­time as­so­ci­ated to ra­di­a­tion dam­age, the po­si­tion of the equip­ment is cho­sen in de­pen­dency of the am­pli­tude of the ra­di­a­tion fields. Based on the con­tin­u­ous analy­sis of the data from more than 3900 ion­i­sa­tion cham­ber beam loss mon­i­tors the evo­lu­tion of the ra­di­a­tion lev­els is mon­i­tored dur­ing the ac­cel­er­a­tor op­er­a­tion. Nor­mal­is­ing the ra­di­a­tion fields with ei­ther the in­te­grated lu­mi­nos­ity or the in­te­grated in­ten­si­ties al­lows ex­trap­o­lat­ing the ra­di­a­tion lev­els of fu­ture ac­cel­er­a­tor op­er­a­tion. In this paper, the gen­eral ra­di­a­tion lev­els in the arcs and the in­ser­tion re­gions at the LHC and their evo­lu­tion will be pre­sented. The changes in the prompt dose dis­tri­b­u­tion along the LHC be­tween the op­er­a­tion in 2016 and 2017 will be dis­cussed. The im­pact of dif­fer­ent ac­cel­er­a­tor set­tings on the local dose dis­tri­b­u­tion will be ad­dressed as well.

  The CERN's ac­cel­er­a­tor tun­nels are as­so­ci­ated with very com­plex mixed field ra­di­a­tion en­vi­ron­ments. Ra­di­a­tion de­grades elec­tronic com­po­nents and di­rectly af­fects their life­times caus­ing fail­ures that con­tribute to the ma­chine down­time pe­ri­ods. In our con­tri­bu­tion, we will re­port on the de­vel­op­ment and first em­ploy­ment of a Dis­trib­uted Op­ti­cal Fiber Ra­di­a­tion Sen­sor (DOFRS) at CERN. The most in­ter­est­ing fea­ture of DOFRS tech­nol­ogy is to pro­vide an on­line and spa­tially dis­trib­uted map of the dose lev­els in large ma­chines with spa­tial res­o­lu­tion of the order of one meter. This fiber based dose sen­sor will pro­vide valu­able in­for­ma­tion in ad­di­tion to the cur­rently in­stalled ac­tive and pas­sive dosime­ters. After demon­strat­ing the work­ing prin­ci­ple of DOFRS*, the first op­er­a­tional pro­to­type was in­stalled in the Pro­ton Syn­chro­tron Booster dur­ing last 2016/17 end-of-the-year tech­ni­cal stop. The DOFRS has been ac­quir­ing data suc­cess­fully since the be­gin­ning of 2017 op­er­a­tions. The per­for­mances that were achieved by the first pro­to­type will be dis­cussed in the final con­tri­bu­tion. The DOFRS mea­sure­ments will also be bench-marked to the re­sults pro­vided by other punc­tual dosime­ters.

  The Extra Low EN­ergy An­tipro­ton ring (ELENA) at CERN en­tered the com­mis­sion­ing phase in No­vem­ber 2016 using H ions and an­tipro­tons to setup the ma­chine at the dif­fer­ent en­ergy plateaus. The low in­ten­si­ties and en­ergy of the ELENA beam gen­er­ate very weak sig­nals mak­ing beam di­ag­nos­tics very chal­leng­ing. With a cir­cu­lat­ing beam cur­rent of less than 1 μA and an en­ergy where the beam an­ni­hi­lates in less than a few mi­crons of mat­ter, spe­cial care was taken dur­ing the de­sign phase to en­sure an op­ti­mal per­for­mance of these mea­sure­ment de­vices once in­stalled on the ring and trans­fer lines. A year on we pre­sent the per­for­mance of the var­i­ous de­vices that have been de­ployed to mea­sure the beam pa­ra­me­ters from the ex­trac­tion point of the An­tipro­ton De­cel­er­a­tor (AD), through the ELENA ring and in the ex­per­i­men­tal lines.

  The CERN Super Pro­ton Syn­chro­tron (SPS) is a fast cy­cling hadron ac­cel­er­a­tor de­liv­er­ing pro­tons with mo­menta of up to 450 GeV/c for the Large Hadron Col­lider (LHC), fixed tar­get ex­per­i­ments and other users such as the AWAKE plasma ac­cel­er­a­tion ex­per­i­ment, and also used to ac­cel­er­ate heavy ions. This paper pre­sents the up­grade ini­tia­tive for the SPS beam po­si­tion mea­sure­ment sys­tem in the frame of the CERN LHC In­jec­tor Up­grade (LIU) pro­ject. The new SPS beam po­si­tion read-out elec­tron­ics will be based on log­a­rith­mic am­pli­fiers, using sig­nals pro­vided by the 216 ex­ist­ing beam po­si­tion mon­i­tors, the ma­jor­ity of which are based on split-plane 'shoe­box' tech­nol­ogy. It will need to cover a dy­namic range suf­fi­cient to man­age the wide range of SPS beam in­ten­si­ties and bunch for­mat­ting schemes to pro­vide turn-by-turn and av­er­aged beam or­bits along the SPS ac­cel­er­a­tion cy­cles. In order to avoid long coax­ial ca­bles, the front-end elec­tron­ics in­clud­ing the digi­ti­sa­tion, will be lo­cated in­side the ac­cel­er­a­tor tun­nel, with op­ti­cal trans­mis­sion to sur­face pro­cess­ing elec­tron­ics. This rep­re­sents an ad­di­tional chal­lenge in terms of ra­di­a­tion tol­er­ance of elec­tron­ics com­po­nents and ma­te­ri­als.

WEPAF086 Latest Developments and Updates of the ESS Linac Simulator 2051
 
  • J.F. Esteban Müller, E. Laface
    ESS, Lund, Sweden
 
  A fast and ac­cu­rate on­line model is re­quired for op­ti­mal com­mis­sion­ing and re­li­able op­er­a­tion of the high-power pro­ton linac at the Eu­ro­pean Spal­la­tion Source. The Open XAL frame­work, ini­tially de­vel­oped at SNS, is used at ESS for the de­vel­op­ment of high-level physics ap­pli­ca­tions. The on­line model we use, known as ESS Linac Sim­u­la­tor (JELS), ex­tends the Open XAL model with sev­eral fea­tures. This paper de­scribes the lat­est up­dates car­ried out to JELS. Two new el­e­ments have been im­ple­mented: a so­le­noid field map for the LEBT and a DTL Tank el­e­ment that au­to­mat­i­cally cal­cu­lates each gap phase. All cal­cu­la­tions are now done in the lab­o­ra­tory frame, in agree­ment with Open XAL con­ven­tion. A thor­ough bench­mark of the model against TraceWin, which is the tool used for the lat­tice de­sign, is also pre­sented.

  The Eu­ro­pean Spal­la­tion Source (ESS) will pro­duce neu­trons for sci­ence by sub­ject­ing a tung­sten tar­get to the high-in­ten­sity pro­ton beam from a su­per­con­duct­ing lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor. A com­plete suite of beam di­ag­nos­tics will en­able tun­ing, mon­i­tor­ing and pro­tec­tion of the ac­cel­er­a­tor dur­ing com­mis­sion­ing, stud­ies and op­er­a­tion. As an ini­tial step to­ward neu­tron pro­duc­tion, the Ion Source and the 75 keV Low En­ergy Trans­port Line is in­stalled on the ESS site in Lund, Swe­den. To sup­port the com­mis­sion­ing and char­ac­ter­i­za­tion of this first beam-pro­duc­ing sys­tem, a sub­set of the full di­ag­nos­tics suite is de­ployed. This in­cludes the fol­low­ing equip­ment: a fara­day cup, cur­rent trans­form­ers, an emit­tance mea­sure­ment unit, beam-in­duced flu­o­res­cence mon­i­tors, and a doppler-shift spec­troscopy sys­tem. All as­pects of the de­ploy­ment ex­pe­ri­ence, from ac­cep­tance test­ing through in­stal­la­tion, ver­i­fi­ca­tion, and com­mis­sion­ing will be pre­sented.

  The BCM sys­tem of the Eu­ro­pean Spal­la­tion Source in­cludes sev­eral ma­chine pro­tec­tion fea­tures to en­sure that the ac­tual beam pa­ra­me­ters will be con­sis­tent with the se­lected beam and des­ti­na­tion modes. Dif­fer­en­tial cur­rent mea­sure­ments with sev­eral ACCT pairs are fore­seen to de­tect beam losses par­tic­u­larly in the low-en­ergy linac where Beam Loss Mon­i­tors can­not be used. The ACCTs will also be used to check that no beam will be pre­sent in the sec­tions down­stream of a tem­po­rary beam dump. These mea­sure­ments will then be used to stop the beam shortly after an ab­nor­mal con­di­tion has been de­tected by the BCM sys­tem. This will re­quire some cus­tomized in­ter­faces with the Tim­ing Sys­tem and the Ma­chine Pro­tec­tion Sys­tem as well as an op­ti­cal in­ter­face for dif­fer­en­tial cur­rent mea­sure­ment over large dis­tances. Au­to­matic set­ting of the ma­chine pro­tec­tion thresh­olds and mask­ing/un­mask­ing of the in­ter­locks based on the beam and des­ti­na­tion modes are among the tech­ni­cal com­plex­i­ties. This paper gives an overview of the de­sign in­clud­ing the most re­cent up­dates and dis­cusses in more de­tails the ma­chine pro­tec­tion fea­tures of the BCM sys­tem.

In the past year, Con­trol Sys­tem Stu­dio (CS-Stu­dio) has be­come the pre­dom­i­nant graph­i­cal user in­ter­face tool at ReA3, the 3 MeV/u rare iso­tope beam Reac­cel­er­a­tor at Michi­gan State Uni­ver­sity's Na­tional Su­per­con­duct­ing Cy­clotron Lab­o­ra­tory. CS-Stu­dio is a set of con­trol sys­tem in­ter­face tools that in­clude op­er­a­tor in­ter­faces, his­tory plots, an alarm han­dler, save/re­store, scan­ning, and more. Be­com­ing an ef­fec­tive user of these tools takes con­sid­er­able time and train­ing. This con­tri­bu­tion will de­scribe the chal­lenges and strate­gies for train­ing op­er­a­tors on the gen­eral use of the CS-Stu­dio tools. It will de­scribe the use of a sim­u­lated user in­ter­face en­vi­ron­ment for train­ing op­er­a­tors at any time with­out af­fect­ing the op­er­at­ing fa­cil­ity.
