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. |

TUPOB17 | Simulations in Support of Wire Beam-Beam Compensation Experiment at the LHC | 525 |
|
||
The compensation of long-range beam-beam interaction with current wires is considered as a possible technology for the HL-LHC upgrade project. A demonstration experiment is planned in the present LHC machine starting in 2018. This paper summarizes the tracking studies of long range beam-beam effect compensation in the LHC aimed to aid in planning the demonstration experiment. The impact of wire compensators is demonstrated on the tune footprints, dynamic aperture, beam emittance and beam intensity degradation. The simulations are performed with SIXTRACK code. The symplectic transport map for the wire element, its verification and implementation into the code are also discussed. | ||

WEA1CO04 | Hollow Electron Beam Collimation for HL-LHC - Effect on the Beam Core | 651 |
|
||
Funding: Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the US Department of Energy. Collimation with hollow electron beams or lenses (HEL) is currently one of the most promising concepts for active halo control in HL-LHC. In previous studies it has been shown that the halo can be efficiently removed with a hollow electron lens. Equally important as an efficient removal of the halo, is also to demonstrate that the core stays unperturbed. In this paper, we present a summary of the experiment at the LHC and simulations in view of the effect of the HEL on the beam core in case of a pulsed operation. |

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. | ||

WEPOA17 | On the Possibility of Using Nonlinear Elements for Landau Damping in High-Intensity Beams | 729 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. DOE Direct space-charge force shifts the incoherent tunes down from the coherent ones switching off Landau damping of coherent oscillations at high beam intensity. To restore it the nonlinear elements can be employed which move back tunes of large amplitude particles. In the present report we consider the possibility of creating a "nonlinear integrable optics" insertion in the Fermilab Recycler to host either octupoles or hollow electron lens for this purpose. For comparison we also consider the classic scheme with distributed octupole families. It is shown that for the Proton Improvement Plan II parameters the required nonlinear tuneshift can be created without destroying the dynamic aperture. |

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. |

Suppression of Half-Integer Resonance in FNAL Booster and Space Charge Losses at Injection | |
|
||
Funding: Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. The particle losses at injection in the FNAL Booster are one of the major factors limiting the machine performance. The losses are caused by motion non-linearity due to direct space charge and due to non-linearity introduced by large values of chromaticity sextupoles required to suppress transverse instabilities. The report aims to address the former - the suppression of incoherent space charge effects by reducing deviations from the perfect periodicity of linear optics functions. It should be achieved by high accuracy optics measurements with subsequent optics correction and by removing known sources of optics perturbations. The study shows significant impact on half-integer stop band with subsequent reduction of particle loss. We use realistic Booster lattice model to understand the present limitations, and investigate the possible improvements which would allow high intensity operation with PIP-II parameters. |

THPOA15 | Adaptive Space Charge Calculations in MADX-SC | 1126 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. DOE Since a few years MAD-X allows to simulate beam dynamics with frozen space charge à la Basseti-Erskine. The limitation of simulation with a fixed distribution is somewhat overcome by an adaptive approach that consists of updating the emittances once per turn and by recalculating the Twiss parameters after certain intervals, typically every 1,000 turns to avoid an excessive slowdown of the simulations. The technique has been benchmarked for the PS machines over 800, 000 turns. MADX-SC code developments are being discussed that include the re-introduction of acceleration into MAD-X and more advanced beam σ calculations that will avoid code interruptions for the Twiss parameters calculation. |

THPOA19 | Design Considerations for Proposed Fermilab Integrable RCS | 1138 |
|
||
Integrable optics is an innovation in particle accelerator design that provides strong nonlinear focusing while avoiding parametric resonances. One promising application of integrable optics is to overcome the traditional limits on accelerator intensity imposed by betatron tune-spread and collective instabilities. The efficacy of high-intensity integrable accelerators will be undergo comprehensive testing over the next several years at the Fermilab Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) and the University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER). We propose an integrable RCS (iRCS) as a replacement for the Fermilab Booster to achieve multi-MW beam power for the Fermilab high-energy neutrino program. We provide a overview of the machine parameters and discuss an approach to lattice optimization. Integrable optics requires arcs with integer-pi phase advance followed by drifts with matched beta functions. We provide an example integrable lattice with features of a modern RCS - long dispersion-free drifts, low momentum compaction, superperiodicity, chromaticity correction, separate-function magnets, and bounded beta functions. | ||

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. | ||
