MOP035 | Operational Aspects of High-Power Energy-Recovery Linacs | wiggler, linac, quadrupole, vacuum | 115 | ||
|
We have been operating a high power energy recovery linac (ERL) at Jefferson Lab for several years. In the process we have learned quite a bit about both technical and physics limitations in high power ERLs. Several groups are now considering new ERLs that greatly increase either the energy, the current or both. We will present some of our findings on what to consider when designing, building, and operating a high power ERL. These include space charge effects, halo, magnetic field quality, RF stability, short bunch formation, coherent synchrotron radiation and it effect on the beam, beam breakup instabilities, higher order mode production, and diagnostic requirements.

TUP074 | Beam Dynamics Simulations of SARAF Accelerator including Error Propagation and Implications for the EURISOL Driver | linac, simulation, proton, rfq | 426 | ||
|
Beam dynamics simulations of the SARAF (Soreq Applied Research Accelerator) superconducting RF linear accelerator have bean performed in order to establish the linear accelerator design. The multi-particle simulation includes 3D realistic electromagnetic field distributions, space charge forces and fabrication, misalignment and operation errors. A 4 mA deuteron beam is accelerated up to 40 MeV with a moderated rms emittance growth and a high real-estate acceleration gradient of 2 MeV/m. An envelope of 40,000 macro-particles is kept under a radius of 11 mm, well below the beam pipe bore radius. The accelerator design for SARAF is proposed as an injector for the EURISOL driver accelerator. The basic Accel 176 MHz β0=0.09 and β0=0.15 HWR lattice was extended to 90 MeV based on the LNL 352 MHz β0=0.31 HWR. The matching between both lattices ensures smooth transition and the possibility to extend the accelerator to the required EURISOL ion energy.

TUP076 | First TRACK Simulations of the SNS Linac | linac, simulation, SNS, focusing | 432 | ||
|
In an effort to benchmark the code TRACK* against the recent commissionnig data from the SNS linac, we started updating the code TRACK to support SNS-type elements like DTL's and CCL's. 2D electric field tables were computed using SUPERFISH and 3D magnetic fields from PMQ's were calculated using EMS-Studio. A special DTL routine was implemented and successfully tested. The first results of TRACK simulations using a realistic beam will be presented. A comparison with the code PARMILA will also be presented and discussed.

TUP086 | Linac Code Benchmarking for the UNILAC Experiment | emittance, space-charge, simulation, linac | 460 | ||
|
In the framework of the European network HIPPI (High Intensity Pulsed Proton Injectors) a linac code comparison and benchmarking program have been promoted. An intermediate goal is to compare different space charge solvers and lattice modelling implemented in each code in preparation of experimental validations from future measurements to be carried out at the UNILAC of GSI. In the last two years a series of different tests and comparisons among several codes (DYNAMION, HALODYN, IMPACT, LORASAR, PARMILA, PATRAN, PATH and TOUTATIS) have been undertaken. The quality of Poisson solvers has been evaluated and a number of code adjustments has been carried out to obtain the best agreement in terms of RMS moments. In this paper we report on the status of this program.

THP048 | Band Gap Structures of PBG and Rod-loaded Cavities | dipole, damping, klystron, quadrupole | 688 | ||
|
The band-gap structures for rod loaded (RL) and photonic band gap (PBG) cavities are calculated with 2D and 3D frequency domain codes. It is shown that an RL cavity with a single circle of rods can exhibit similar behavior as a conventional single-defect PBG cavity. A systematic method of computing the unloaded Q factor using SUPERFISH has been implemented. Results are compared with GdfidL and Gd1 calculations.

THP057 | Design of Normal Conducting 325-MHz Crossbar H-Type Resonators at Femirlab | linac, focusing, vacuum, impedance | 710 | ||
|
The warm section of the proposed High Intensity Neutrino Source at Fermilab is designed to accelerate H- ions and protons from 2.5 MeV to 10 MeV (β=0.0744 to β=0.1422). After the ion source, the beam will travel through a radio frequency quadrupole, a medium energy beam transport (two buncher cavities and a chopper) and finally 16 normal-conducting resonators, all separated by superconducting solenoids in individual cryostats. Over 10 MeV the design uses superconducting resonators and solenoids in common cryomodules. In this paper the electromagnetic design and optimization of all the 325 MHz Crossbar H-type normal-conducting resonators is presented. The mechanical design, performance and fabrication of the first prototype (β=0.0744) is presented in detail. The design of the prototype for the input coupler that will be used in the resonators is included.
