TUPOA19 | 50-MeV Run of the IOTA/FAST Electron Accelerator | 326 |
|
||
Funding: Supported by the DOE contract No.DEAC02-07CH11359 to the Fermi Research Alliance LLC. The low-energy section of the photoinjector-based electron linear accelerator at the Fermilab Accelerator Science & Technology (FAST) facility was recently commissioned to an energy of 50 MeV. This linear accelerator relies primarily upon pulsed SRF acceleration and an optional bunch compressor to produce a stable beam within a large operational regime in terms of bunch charge, total average charge, bunch length, and beam energy. Various instrumentation was used to characterize fundamental properties of the electron beam including the intensity, stability, emittance, and bunch length. While much of this instrumentation was commissioned in a 20 MeV running period prior, some (including a new Martin-Puplett interferometer) was in development or pending installation at that time. All instrumentation has since been recommissioned over the wide operational range of beam energies up to 50 MeV, intensities up to 4 nC/pulse, and bunch structures from ~1 ps to more than 50 ps in length. |

X-rays have widespread applications in science. Developing compact and high-quality X-ray sources, easy to disseminate, has been an on going challenge. Our group has explored the possible use of channeling radiation driven by a 50 MeV low-emittance electron beam to produce narrowband hard X-rays (photon energy from 40 keV to 140 keV). In this contribution we present the simulated X-ray spectrum including the background bremsstrahlung contribution, and optimization of the relevant electron-beam parameters required to maximize the X-ray brilliance. The results of experiments carried out at Fermilab's FAST facility – which include a 50 MeV superconducting linac and a high-brightness photoinjector – are also discussed. The average brilliance in our experiment is expected to be about one order of magnitude higher than that in previous experiments. | ||

Proposed Experimental Validation of Hamiltonian Perturbation Theory in IOTA | |
|
||
The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) is a small ring under construction to explore advanced concepts in beam dynamics, initially with electron pencil beams to emulate single-particle dynamics and later with low-energy proton beams including significant space charge tune depression. Hamiltonian perturbation theory and simulations with Synergia, Warp and other codes are being used to develop an experimental program for beam dynamics, including the highly nonlinear 'elliptic' magnet originally proposed by Danilov and Nagaitsev. The results suggest a number of experiments that could be performed at IOTA. For example, small changes in the linear tune and the strength of the elliptic magnet can be used to control dynamic aperture. Both electron and proton beams can be used to measure the tune spread as a function of the elliptic magnet strength, for comparison with theory. Space charge driven halo formation due to envelope oscillations can be measured over a range of elliptic magnet strengths. Theoretical and computational results will be presented to guide future decisions regarding experimental diagnostics for IOTA. | ||

Impact of Space Charge on Beam Dynamics and Integrability in the IOTA Ring | |
|
||
Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics under Award Number DE-SC0011340. Modern hadron accelerators such as spallation sources and neutrino factories must push the intensity limits to meet increasingly challenging goals. The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) is a small ring, currently under construction at Fermilab, which will explore advanced concepts in beam dynamics with low-energy proton beams with high space charge tune depression. Through use of a special nonlinear magnet insertion, large tune spread with amplitude can be achieved while preserving two integrals of motion for the single particle behavior. The tune shift and spread induced by space charge can disrupt the stability of these invariants. In this work we examine the behavior of these invariants in the presence of space charge. Simulations of a modified IOTA lattice that accounts for the space charge tune depression are shown, and the behavior of the invariants is examined. |

THPOA22 | Linear Lattice and Trajectory Reconstruction and Correction at FAST Linear Accelerator | 1149 |
|
||
Low energy part of FAST linear accelerator based on 1.3 GHz superconducting RF cavities was successfully commissioned. During commissioning, beam based model dependent methods were used to correct linear lattice and trajectory. Lattice correction algorithm is based on analysis of beam shape from profile monitors and trajectory responses to dipole correctors. Trajectory responses to field gradient variations in quadrupoles and phase variations in superconducting RF cavities were used to correct bunch offsets in quadrupoles and accelerating cavities relative to its magnetic axes. Details of used methods and experimental results are presented. | ||

THPOA23 | Adaptive Matching of the IOTA Ring Linear Optics for Space Charge Compensation | 1152 |
|
||
Many present and future accelerators must operate with high intensity beams when distortions induced by space charge forces are among major limiting factors. Betatron tune depression of above approximately 0.1 per cell leads to significant distortions of linear optics. Many aspects of machine operation depend on proper relations between lattice functions and phase advances, and can be improved with proper treatment of space charge effects. We implement an adaptive algorithm for linear lattice re-matching with full account of space charge in the linear approximation for the case of Fermilab's IOTA ring. The method is based on a search for initial second moments that give closed solution and, at the same time, satisfy predefined set of goals for emittances, beta functions, dispersions and phase advances at and between points of interest. Iterative singular value decomposition based technique is used to search for optimum by varying wide array of model parameters. | ||

THPOA24 | Testing of Advanced Technique for Linear Lattice and Closed Orbit Correction by Modeling Its Application for IOTA Ring at Fermilab | 1155 |
|
||
Many modern and most future accelerators rely on precise configuration of lattice and trajectory. Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) at Fermilab that is coming to final stages of construction will be used to test advanced approaches of control over particles dynamics. Various experiments planned at IOTA require high flexibility of lattice configuration as well as high precision of lattice and closed orbit control. Dense element placement does not allow to have ideal configuration of diagnostics and correctors for all planned experiments. To overcome this limitations advanced method of lattice analysis is proposed that can also be beneficial for other machines. Developed algorithm is based on LOCO approach, extended with various sets of other experimental data, such as dispersion, BPM-to-BPM phase advances, beam shape information from synchrotron light monitors, responses of closed orbit bumps to variations of focusing elements and other. Extensive modeling of corrections for a big number of random seed errors is used to illustrate benefits from developed approach. | ||
