MOX02 | Development and Implementation of Bunch Shape Instrumentation for Ion Linacs | electron, linac, target, instrumentation | 1 |
|
|||
A longitudinal charge distribution in beam bunches, so-called bunch shape, is one of the most important and difficult to measure characteristics of a beam in ion linear accelerators. Despite the variety of approaches only the methods using low energy secondary electrons emitted, when the beam passes through a thin target, found practical application. The most common beam instrumentation, based on this method, became Bunch Shape Monitor developed in INR RAS. The monitor provides direct measurements of bunch shape and bunch longitudinal halo, allows to carry out such complex diagnostic procedures as longitudinal emittance measurements, amplitude and phase setting of accelerating cavities and control of bunch shape evolution in time to check the overall quality of longitudinal tuning of the accelerator. The principle of the monitor operation, design features, ultimate parameters and limitations are discussed. Several modifications of the monitor with implementation peculiarities are described as well as lots of measurement results at different ion linacs with a variety of beam parameters. New challenges for bunch shape instrumentation to satisfy demands of forthcoming linacs are also characterized. | |||

MOPSA39 | Application of a Scintillation Detector for Periodic Monitoring of Beam Parameters at Medical Proton Therapy Complex "Prometheus" | proton, radiation, extraction, synchrotron | 176 |
|
|||
Introduction: In November 2015 the first domestic complex of proton therapy "Prometheus" start to treat oncology patients. This complex uses a modern technique for irradiation of tumors by scanning with a pencil beam. This technique requires continuous monitoring and regular verification of main beam parameters such as range in water, focusing and lateral dimension. To control these parameters, we developed a waterproof detector for measurements in air and in a water phantom. Methods and materials: The detector system consists of a luminescent screen 5 cm in diameter, a mirror and a CCD camera. When the beam goes through the screen, a glow appears, the reflected image of which is perceived by the camera and analyzed. This design is waterproof, which makes it possible to perform measurements in water. To measure the range of protons in water, this detector was fixed on a special positioner, which allows to move the sensor with an accuracy of 0.2 mm. We measured the beams also in comparison with EBT3 dosimetric film for energies from 60 to 250 MeV with a step of 10 MeV. Same measurements of the ranges were carried out using a standard PTW Bragg Peak ionization chamber. Results: It was shown that this system is a simple and inexpensive tool for conducting regular quality assurance of beam parameters. Unlike the EBT3 dosimetric film, this detector gives an immediate response, which makes it possible to use it when debugging the accelerator and adjusting the beam. | |||

MOPSA47 | Verification of a Beam of Epithermal Neutrons for Boron-Neutron Capture Therapy | neutron, radiation, proton, experiment | 199 |
|
|||
Funding: The research was supported by Russian Science Foundation, grant No. 19-72-30005. At Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics it was proposed and developed a source of epithermal neutrons based on a tandem accelerator with vacuum insulation and a lithium target for the development of boron neutron capture therapy, a promising method for treating malignant tumors. To measure the "boron" dose due to the boron-lithium reaction, a small-sized detector has been developed. It consists of two polystyrene scintillators, one of which is enriched with boron. Using the detector, the spatial distribution of boron dose and dose of gamma radiation in a 330x330x315 mm water phantom was measured and the results obtained were compared with the results of numerical simulation of the absorbed dose components in such a tissue-equivalent phantom. It is shown that the results obtained are in good agreement with the calculated ones. It was found that the use of a 72 mm Plexiglas moderator provides an acceptable quality of the neutron beam for in vitro and in vivo studies, namely: 1 mA 2.05 MeV proton beam on a lithium target provides a dose rate of 30 Gy-Eq/h in cells containing boron at a concentration of 40 ppm, and 6 Gy-Eq/h in cells without boron. The developed technique for on-line measurement of boron dose and dose of gamma radiation makes it possible to carry out a similar verification of a neutron beam prepared for clinical trials of BNCT after placing a neutron beam shaping assembly with a magnesium fluoride moderator in a bunker adjacent to the accelerator. |

MOPSA55 | Beam-induced Background Simulations for the CMS Experiment at the LHC | simulation, experiment, background, radiation | 225 |
|
|||
Beam-induced background comes from interactions of the beam and beam halo particles with either the residual gas in the vacuum chamber of accelerator or the collimators that define the beam aperture. Beam-induced processes can potentially be a significant source of background for physics analyses at the LHC. This contribution describes the simulation software environment used for this part of the CMS experiment activity and recent beam-induced background simulation results for the Phase-2 CMS operation design. | |||

TUPSB11 | Numerical Investigation of the Robustness of Spin-Navigator Polarization Control Method in a Spin-Transparent Storage Ring | polarization, solenoid, lattice, controls | 254 |
|
|||
The robustness of spin-navigator based method for manipulating the beam polarization axis has been investigated with respect to bend magnet installation errors. Toward that end, variation of the invariant spin axis components along the beamline of an imperfect storage ring operating in the spin-transparent mode has been estimated. The beam polarization vector behavior in the given lattice has been investigated. Conclusions are made regarding the feasibility of using spin navigator solenoids for defining the beam polarization axis in the detector region. | |||

TUPSB51 | Measurement of Neutron Field Functionals Around a Neutron Converter of 50 GeV Protons | neutron, proton, experiment, hadron | 330 |
|
|||
The experiment was performed on a pulsed neutron source of the "Neutron" research bench, being created at the U-70 accelerator at National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" - IHEP, Protvino. Neutrons were generated by the 50 GeV proton beam in the special converter. As a measurement method, neutron activation analysis was used with a set of threshold activation detectors made of C, Al, Nb, In, Bi materials. The neutron energy thresholds of these detectors are in the range from 1 MeV to 75 MeV. The aluminium activation foils were used to calculate the absolute values of the proton quantities in the exposures. The results of measurements and calculations are presented in the form of the following functionals: nuclides activity of threshold reactions in detectors at the end of the exposure; reaction rate; neutron fluences with energies greater than the threshold. To estimate these values, the spectra of neutrons, protons and pions were calculated using the particle transport codes MARS and HADRON with the FAN15 as a low-energy block. It was found that neutrons dominate up to 100 MeV, and the charged hadrons contribution to the total reaction rate for a particular nuclide formation can range from 4% to 46%. | |||

WEPSC34 | Treatment of the Results Measurement of Profile Beam Using Wire Scanners at Accelerator U-70 IHEP | proton, feedback, betatron, operation | 410 |
|
|||
The IHEP has developed fast wire scanners based on servomotors with a scanning speed of V = 16m/s. For processing of analog signals from detectors, a digital USB oscilloscope NI USB-5133 manufactured by National Instruments has been chosen. The paper describes methods of data processing from a wire scanner using a program developed in the LabVIEW environment and obtaining information about beam parameters as well. To determine the frequency of beam revolution, a fast Fourier transform is used. The measured input signal is integrated at a chosed number of turns of the beam. The amplitude, center position, offset, rms deviation of the resulting distribution and beam sizes at the corresponding energy level are calculated using the Gaussian Peak Fit VI library element. The data of beam profile in different modes of accelerator operation are presented. | |||

WEPSC36 | Simulation of the Coherent Radiation Interferometry for the Beam Temporal Structure Diagnostics | radiation, simulation, electron, target | 413 |
|
|||
Today, free electron lasers and new facilities that are capable of generating sequences of short electron bunches with a high (THz) repetition rate have widely developed. The existing diagnostic methods for such sequences have limitations or are not applicable. Therefore, it is important to develop new approaches to diagnose the temporal structure of such sequences (trains) in modern accelerators. In this report, we describe a model of coherent radiation interferometry using a Michelson interferometer. The mechanisms of transition and diffraction radiation are selected as the radiation source. The model takes into account the finite target size, the parameters of the sequence structure and the detector characteristics. The simulation results allow us to conclude that the analysis of the radiation intensity autocorrelation function itself can be applied as diagnostics method of an arbitrary bunch train temporal structure. Based on such method we can obtain information on the bunch number in the train and the distance between bunches. | |||

WEPSC40 | Detection of Anomalies in BPM Signals at the VEPP-4M | ISOL, experiment, optics, simulation | 420 |
|
|||
Beam position monitors (BPMs) are widely used for beam diagnostics in particle accelerators. Turn-by-turn (TbT) beam centroid data provide a means to estimate performance-critical accelerator parameters, like betatron frequency and optical functions. Parameter estimation accuracy is heavily related to TbT data quality. BPM faults might lead to erroneous estimation of accelerator parameters and should be accounted for achieving accurate and reliable results. Several anomaly detection methods for TbT data cleaning are considered. Derived features of BPM signals along with their robust dispersion estimation are used to flag faulty BPM signals. Estimated contamination factor is used with unsupervised learning methods (Local Outlier Factor and Isolation Forest). Application of anomaly detection methods for the VEPP-4M experimental TbT data is reported. | |||

WEPSC42 | RF Cavity Based Charge Detector for a Low Charge Ultra Sort Singe Electron Bunch Measurement | electron, cavity, experiment, linac | 423 |
|
|||
Nowadays project of laser-driven Compton light source started in ILP SB RAS in collaboration with BINP SB RAS. It is expected production of 1-10 pC electron beams sub-ps time range duration with energies up to 100-150 MeV as result of the first stage of the project. It is necessary to have the non-destructive charge detector for on line measurements during experiments. We proposed detector based on reentrant RF resonator technology. Singe circular cylinder geometry of measuring RF cavity is insensitive to electron beam position and size as well as time structure of bunch (on the assumption of sufficiently short bunch). Base data of cavity are close to acceleration section elements of VEPP-5 linac. Prototype of detector successfully tested at the VEPP-5 electron linac. Measured charge of single bunch reaches down to 1 pC and less. This paper presents the results of development and testing of diagnostics | |||

WEPSC57 | System of on-Line Energy Control of Electron Beam for Accelerator | electron, monitoring, controls, radiation | 446 |
|
|||
There arises a need for measuring the output electron energy in the on-line mode during set-up, adjustment or operation of an accelerator. For this purpose a system is developed, allowing an on-line control of an accelerated electron energy spectrum simultaneously with average current measurement. This system is meant for reconstruction of the energy spectrum of accelerated electrons in the energy range from 1 up to 10 MeV at the average beam current from 20 up to 150 µA. The system is based on the method of absorbing filters and consists of an assembly, absorbing an accelerated electron beam, and a measuring system. The absorption assembly represents a set of insulated from each other electro-conducting plates of dimension 100x100 mm and thickness from 0.15 up to 1 mm with an air gap between plates 2 mm. The operation involves development, manufacture and calculation of electron beam transmission through the absorption assembly, development and manufacture of hardware for automated measuring of absorbed charges in the assembly elements, development of a master computer program as well as a program of energy spectrum reconstruction, using measured and calculated data, testing of the energy on-line control system on the LU-10-20 linear resonance electron accelerator. Tests of the developed sample on the electron accelerator have proved the applicability of the system to control the electron beam energy in the real-time mode. | |||
