The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) requires crab cavities to compensate for a 25 mrad crossing angle and achieve maximum luminosity. The crab cavity Radio Frequency (RF) system will inject low levels of noise to the crabbing field, generating transverse emittance growth and potentially limiting luminosity lifetime. In this work, we estimate the transverse emittance growth rate as a function of the Crab Cavity RF noise and quantify RF noise specifications for reasonable performance. Finally, we evaluate the possible mitigation of the RF noise induced emittance growth via a dedicated feedback system.

  The ion beam is sensitive to numerical noise in the strong-strong simulation of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). This paper discusses the impact of model parameters — macro particles, transverse grids and longitudinal slices — on beam size evolution in PIC based strong-strong simulation. It will help us to understand the emittance growth in strong-strong simulation.

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) presently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory will collide polarized high energy electron beams with hadron beams with luminosity up to 1034 cm-2 s-1 in the center mass energy range of 20 to 140 GeV. Due to the detector solenoid in the interaction region, the design horizontal crabbing angle will be coupled to the vertical plane if uncompensated. In this article, we estimate the tolerance of crab dispersion at the interaction point in the EIC Hadron Storage Ring (HSR). Both strong-strong and weak-strong simulations are used. We found that there is a tight tolerance of vertical crabbing angle at the interaction point in the HSR.

The experimental investigation of new photocathode ma- terials is time-consuming, expensive, and difficult to accom- plish. Computational modelling offers fast and inexpensive ways to explore new materials, and operating conditions, that could potentially enhance the efficiency of polarized electron beam photocathodes. We report on Monte-Carlo simulation of electron spin polarization (ESP) and quantum efficiency (QE) of bulk GaAs at 2, 77, and 300 K using the data obtained from Density Functional Theory (DFT) cal- culations at the corresponding temperatures. The simulated results of ESP and QE were compared with reported exper- imental measurements, and showed good agreement at 77 and 300 K.

A program is under way at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility, in collaboration with the Euclid Techlabs and Northern Illinois University (NIU), to develop a GeV/m scale photocathode gun, with the ultimate goal of demonstrating a high-brightness photoinjector beamline. The novel X-band photoemission gun (Xgun) is powered by high-power, short RF pulses, 9-ns (FWHM), which, in turn, are generated by the AWA drive beam. In a previous proof-of-principle experiment, an unprecedented 400~MV/m gradient on the photocathode surface* was demonstrated. In the current version of the experiment, we added a linac to the beamline to increase the total energy and gain experience tuning the beamline. In this paper, we report on the very first result of emittance measurement as well as several other beam parameters. This preliminary investigation has identified several factors to be improved on in order to achieve one of the ultimate goals; low emittance.

A ceramic enhanced accelerator structure (CEAS) uses a concentric ceramic ring placed inside a metallic pillbox cavity to significantly increase the shunt impedance of the cavity. Single cell standing wave CEAS cavities are designed, built, and tested at low power at 5.1 GHz. The results indicate 40% increase in shunt impedance compared to that of a purely metallic pillbox cavity. A beam test setup has been designed to use a single cell CEAS cavity to modulate a 30-keV direct-current (DC) electron beam at an accelerating gradient of 1 to 2 MV/m to verify the beam acceleration capability of the CEAS concept and to study the potential charging effect on the ceramic component during the operation. Another single cell standing wave CEAS cavity has been designed for high power test at 5.7 GHz for the high accelerating gradient capability.

A method of decreasing the required footprint of linear accelerators and improving their energy efficiency is to employ Dielectric Disk Accelerators (DDAs) with short RF pulses ( ∼  9 ns). A DDA is an accelerating structure that utilizes dielectric disks to improve the shunt impedance. Two DDA structures have been designed and tested at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator. A single cell clamped DDA structure recently achieved an accelerating gradient of 1{02} MV/m. A multi-cell clamped DDA structure has been designed and is being fabricated. Simulation results for this new structure show a 1{08} MV/m accelerating gradient with 400 MW of input power with a high shunt impedance and group velocity. The engineering design has been improved from the single cell structure to ensure consistent clamping over the entire structure.

  Monte Carlo simulations are required to evaluate beam losses and secondary radiation accurately in particle accelerators and beamlines. Detailed CAD geometries are critical to account for a realistic distribution of material masses but increase the model complexity and often lead to code duplication. Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) and the Python package pyg4ometry enable handling such accelerator models within a single, simplified workflow to run complete simulations of primary and secondary particle tracking and interactions with matter using Geant4 routines. Additional capabilities have been developed to model arbitrary bent magnets by associating externally modeled geometries to the magnet poles, yoke, and beampipe. Individual field descriptions can be associated with the yoke and vacuum pipe separately to provide fine-grained control of the magnet model. The implementation of these new features is described in detail and applied to the modeling of the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) combined function magnets.

  Cyclotron-based proton therapy systems generate large fluxes of secondary particles due to the beam interactions with the beamline elements, with the energy degrader being the dominant source. Compact systems exacerbate these challenges for concrete shielding and beamline element activation. Our implementation of the Rigorous Two-Step method uses Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM), a Geant4-based particle tracking code, for primary and secondary particles transport and fluence scoring, and FISPACT-II for time-dependent nuclear inventory and solving the rate equations. This approach is applied to the Ion Beam Applications (IBA) Proteus®ONE (P1) system, for which a complete model has been built, validated, and used for shielding activation simulations. We detail the first simulations of the activation on quadrupole magnets in high-fluence locations downstream of the degrader. Results show the evolution of the long-lived nuclide concentrations for short and long timescales throughout the facility lifetime for a typical operation scenario.

  Characterization of ion beams from an ion injector consisting of an electron-cyclotron-resonance (ECR) source in combination with a low-energy-beam-transport (LEBT) typically exhibits a complex four-dimensional transverse phase-space distribution. The importance of measuring the ion beam correlations following extraction and transport of the low-energy beam is critical to enabling optimization of beam transmission through downstream accelerating structures. A design for a transverse, four-dimensional emittance meter for low-energy protons from the Ion Linac Systems (ILS) ECR-LEBT ion injector is provided.

The MeV Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (MUED) instrument at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a unique capability for material science. As part of a plan to make MUED a high-throughput user facility, we are exploring instrumentation developments based on Machine Learning (ML). We are developing a surrogate model of MUED that can be used to support control tasks. The surrogate model will be based on beam simulations that are benchmarked to experimental observations. We use VSim to model the beam dynamics of the radio-frequency gun and Elegant to transport the beam through the rest of the beam-line. We also use High Performance Computing resources from Argonne Leadership Computing Facility to generate the data for the surrogate model based on the original simulation as well as training the ML model.

The McMillan system is a novel method to increase the tune spread of a beam without decreasing its dynamic aperture due to the system’s integrability. While the ideal system is based on an infinitely thin kick, the physical design requires a thick electron lens, including a solenoid. Particle transport through the lens is difficult to simulate due to the nature of the force on the circulating beam. This paper demonstrates accurate simulation of a thick McMillan lens in a solenoid using symplectic integrators derived from Yoshida’s method.

  The current Fermilab Main Injector 8 GeV beamline transverse collimation system was installed in 2006. Since then, proton beam intensities and rates have increased significantly. With the promise of even greater beam intensities and a faster repetition rate when the PIP-II upgrade completes later this decade, the current collimation system will be insufficient. Over the past 18 months, multiple collimation designs have been investigated, some more traditional and others novel. A preliminary design review was conducted and a design chosen. Work is underway to finalize the chosen design, prototype some of its novel components and procure parts for installation Summer 2023.

MOPA46 Cryogenic Dielectric Structure with GΩ/m Level Shunt Impedance impedance, cryogenics, acceleration, accelerating-gradient 157
 
  • R.A. Kostin, C. Jing
    Euclid Beamlabs, Bolingbrook, USA
 
  Shunt impedance is one of the most important parameters characterizing particle acceleration efficiency. It is known that RF losses are reduced at cryogenic temperatures. For example, a record high shunt impedance of 350 MΩ/m was demonstrated recently for all metal X-band accelerating structure, which is more than 2 times higher than that at room temperature. In this article we present a novel hybrid dielectric structure which can achieve even higher shunt impedance due to the fact that losses in dielectric materials reduced much more than in pure copper.

Compact, high-gradient structure wakefield accelerators can operate at improved efficiency using shaped electron beams, such as a high transformer ratio beam shape, to drive the wakes. These shapes have generally come from a photocathode gun followed by a transverse mask to imprint a desired shape on the transverse distribution, and then an emittance exchanger (EEX) to convert that transverse shape into a longitudinal distribution. This process discards some large fraction of the beam, limiting wall-plug efficiency as well as leaving a solid object in the path of the beam. In this paper, we present a proposed method of using integrated photonics structures to control the emission pattern on the cathode surface. This transverse pattern is then converted into a longitudinal pattern at the end of an EEX. This removes the need for the mask, preserving the total charge produced at the cathode surface. We present simulations of an experimental set-up to demonstrate this concept at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator.

  It is clear from numerous recent community reports, papers, and proposals that machine learning is of tremendous interest for particle accelerator applications. The quickly evolving landscape continues to grow in both the breadth and depth of applications including physics modeling, anomaly detection, controls, diagnostics, and analysis. Consequently, laboratories, universities, and companies across the globe have established dedicated machine learning (ML) and data-science efforts aiming to make use of these new state-of-the-art tools. The current funding environment in the U.S. is structured in a way that supports specific application spaces rather than larger collaboration on community software. Here, we discuss the existing collaboration bottlenecks and how a shift in the funding environment, and how we develop collaborative tools, can help fuel the next wave of ML advancements for particle accelerators.

MOPA59 Prediction of Gaseous Breakdown for Plasma Cleaning of RF Cavities cavity, plasma, electron, electronics 174
 
  • S.A. Ahmed
    Ansys, Inc., Canonsburg, USA
 
  The quest for a high accelerating gradient in superconducting radio frequency cavity attracted scientists to adopt the plasma cleaning technology. Generating an efficient plasma inside a complex cavity structure for a desired frequency, gas types, and pressure for a given temperature is a challenge. The onset of discharge can be obtained from the well-known Paschen curve. Setting up an experiment is expensive and time-consuming, which may lead to a significant delay in the project. A high-fidelity computer simulation, modeling an arbitrary geometry and tracking the Paschen curve in a complex electromagnetic environment is therefore necessary. Ansys HFSS through its Finite Element Mesh (FEM) for the full-wave EM simulations combined with the electron impact ionization of gases enables the successful prediction of plasma breakdown for an arbitrary configuration for a wide frequency band and variety of gases. A comprehensive study will be demonstrated at the conference.
The author like to thank Robert Chao for the valuable discussions and his efforts in developing this capability in the Ansys Electronics Desktop.

MOPA60 HFSS Enables Multipaction Analysis of High Power RF/Microwave Components multipactoring, electron, cavity, vacuum 176
 
  • S.A. Ahmed
    Ansys, Inc., Canonsburg, USA
 
  The radiofrequency (RF) components in particle accelerators operated under a vacuum and driven by high RF power may be prone to electron multipaction ’ an RF triggered electron resonance phenomenon causing malfunction or complete breakdown. Therefore, exploring the design challenges of vacuum RF windows, cavities, and other devices for the electron multipaction becomes necessary. Setting up an experiment to mitigate the failure of RF devices is expensive and time-consuming, which may cause a significant delay in the project. Therefore, a high-fidelity computer simulation modeling the arbitrary geometry and tracking the particles (electrons) in a complex electromagnetic environment is desirable. Ansys HFSS through Finite Element Mesh (FEM) for the full-wave RF simulation combined with the particle-in-cell (PIC) technique for tracking particles in EM fields; enables the engineers/physicist successful prediction of system failure against the electron multipaction. This paper will demonstrate the workflow of the HFSS multipaction analysis.
The author like to thank Robert Chao for the valuable discussions and his efforts in developing this capability in the Ansys Electronics Desktop.

  Nanofibrous structures are of high interest to the fields of engineering and materials science, and investigation of their properties as well as discovery of novel applications for them both constitute lively areas of research. A very promising application of nanofiber mats lies in the field of accelerator technology: beam targets made from nanofiber mats offer a solution to the problem of advancing the "intensity frontier"–-the limit on the beam intensities that can be realized in fixed target experiments and neutrino production facilities. However, testing has shown that the survivability of these nanofiber targets depends strongly on their manufacturing parameters, such as the packing density of fibers. In this work, we will use multiphysics simulations to perform a thermal study on how nanofiber targets react to high intensity beams, so that the dependency of the targets’ lifetime on their construction parameters can be better understood.

Beamlines capable of merging beams with different energies are critical to many applications related to advanced accelerator concepts and energy-recovery linacs (ERLs). In an ERL, a low-energy "fresh" bright bunch is generally injected into a superconducting linac for acceleration using the fields established by a decelerated "spent" beam traveling on the same axis. A straight-merger system composed of a selecting cavity with a superimposed dipole magnet was proposed and recently test at AWA. This paper reports on the experimental results obtained so far along with detailed beam dynamics investigations of the merger concept and its ability to conserve the beam brightness associated with the fresh bunch.

  Dielectric-lined waveguides have been extensively studied to potentially support high-gradient acceleration in beam-driven dielectric wakefield acceleration (DWFA) and for beam manipulations. In this paper, we investigate the wakefield generated by a relativistic bunch passing through a dielectric waveguide with different transverse sections. We specifically consider the case of a structure consisting of two dielectric slabs, along with rectangular and square structures. Numerical simulations performed with the fine-difference time-domain of the WarpX program reveal some interesting features of the transverse wake and a possible experiment at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) is proposed.

The cathode test stand (CTS) at LANL is designed to hold off voltages of up to 500kV and can supply pulse durations up to 2.6 μs. Using this test stand, we are able to test both field emission and photocathodes with different geometries and materials at various pulse lengths and PFN voltages. Currently, the test stand is used to evaluate field emission using a velvet cathode over various pulse lengths. The CTS employs various diagnostic tools, including E-dots, B-dots, and a scintillator coupled with a pepperpot mask in order to measure the extracted voltage, current, beam distribution, and transverse emittance. Xenos [1] has been used to create and simulate diode geometries that permits study to optimize various beam parameters. These geometries include changing the size and recess of the cathode as well as implementing a Pierce geometry. Here, we will discuss comparisons for various simulated cathodes and how changes in geometry impact given beam parameters.

Non-invasive profile monitors offer a significant advantage for continuous, online monitoring of transverse beam profile and tuning of beam parameters during operation. This is due to both the non-destructive nature of the measurement and the unique feature that some monitors have of being able to determine both transverse profiles in one measurement [1]. One method of interest for making this measurement is the use of a thin gas curtain, which intercepts the beam and generates both ions and photons, which can be collected at a detector situated perpendicular to the gas sheet. This study will investigate the requirements for developing such a measurement device for use at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), which produces high-intensity, multi charge state, heavy ion beams. Included will be an initial design specifications and an analysis of alternatives between ionization and beam-induced fluorescence measurement techniques for acquiring signal from the gas sheet.

This work demonstrates using a Neural Network and a Gaussian Process to model the ATLAS front-end. Various neural network architectures were created and trained on the machine settings and outputs to model the phase space projections. The model was then trained on a dataset, with non-linear distortion, to gauge the transferability of the model from simulation to machine.

TUXD6 Dual Radiofrequency Cavity Based Monochromatization for High Resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy cavity, electron, cathode, space-charge 278

  Reducing the energy spread of electron beams can enable breakthrough advances in electron energy loss spectroscopic investigations of solid state samples where characteristic excitations typically have energy scales on the order of meV. In conventional electron sources the energy spread is limited by the emission process and typically on the order of a fraction of an eV. State-of-the-art energy resolution can only be achieved after significant losses in the monochromatization process. Here we propose to take advantage of photoemission from ultrashort laser pulses (~40 fs) so that after a longitudinal phase space manipulation that trades pulse duration for energy spread, the energy spread can be reduced by more than one order of magnitude. The scheme uses two RF cavities to accomplish this goal and can be implemented on a relatively short (~ 1m) beamline. Analytical predictions and results of 3D self consistent beam dynamics simulations are presented to support the findings.

Particle accelerators are among the largest, most complex devices. To meet the challenges of increasing energy, intensity, accuracy, compactness, complexity and efficiency, increasingly sophisticated computational tools are required for their design and optimization. It is key that contemporary software take advantage of the latest advances in computer hardware and scientific software engineering practices, delivering speed, reproducibility and feature composability for the aforementioned challenges. A new open source software stack is being developed at the heart of the Beam pLasma Accelerator Simulation Toolkit (BLAST) by LBNL and collaborators, providing new particle-in-cell modeling codes capable of exploiting the power of GPUs on Exascale supercomputers. Combined with advanced numerical techniques, such as mesh-refinement, and intrinsic support for machine learning, these codes are primed to provide ultrafast to ultraprecise modeling for future accelerator design and operations.

One of the DOE-HEP Grand Challenges identified by Nagaitsev et al. relates to the use of virtual particle accelerators for beam prediction and optimization. Useful virtual accelerators rely on efficient and effective methodologies grounded in theory, simulation, and experiment. This paper uses an algorithm called Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamical systems (SINDy), which has not previously been applied to beam physics. We believe the SINDy methodology promises to simplify the optimization of accelerator design and commissioning, particularly where space charge is important. We show how SINDy can be used to discover and identify the underlying differential equation system governing the beam moment evolution. We compare discovered differential equations to theoretical predictions and results from the PIC code WARP modeling. We then integrate the discovered differential system forward in time and compare the results to data analyzed in prior work using a Machine Learning paradigm called Reservoir Computing. Finally, we propose extending our methodology, SINDy for Virtual Accelerators (SINDyVA), to the broader community’s computational and real experiments.

Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a high current density (I > 1 kA), and highly relativistic electron beam (E ~ 2-20 MeV) in the Scorpius Linear Induction Accelerator (LIA) are presented. The simulation set consists of a 3D electrostatic/magnetostatic simulation coupled to a 2D XY slice solver that propagates the beam through the proposed accelerator lattice for Scorpius, a next-generation flash X-ray radiography source. These simulations focus on the growth of azimuthal modes in the beam (e.g. Diocotron instability) that arise when physical ring distributions manifest in the beam either due to electron optics or solenoidal focusing and transport. The saturation mechanism appears to lead to the generation of halo particles and conversion down to lower mode numbers as the width of the ring distribution increases. The mode growth and saturation can contribute to the generation of hot spots on the target as well possible azimuthal asymmetries in the radiograph. Simulation results are compared to linear theory and tuning parameters are investigated to mitigate the growth of azimuthal modes in the Scorpius electron beam.

Ion trapping occurs when a negatively charged beam ionizes residual gas inside an accelerator vacuum chamber, and the resulting ions become trapped in the beam potential. Trapped ions can cause a variety of undesirable effects, including coherent instability and incoherent emittance growth. Because of the challenging emittance and stability requirements of next generation light sources, ion trapping is a serious concern. To study this effect at the present APS, a gas injection system was designed and installed at two different locations in the ring. The system creates a controlled and localized pressure bump of nitrogen gas, so the resulting ion instability can be studied. Measurements were taken under a wide variety of beam conditions, using a spectrum analyzer, pinhole camera, and bunch-by-bunch feedback system. The feedback system was also used to perform grow-damp measurements, allowing us to measure the growth rate of individual unstable modes. This paper will present some of the results of these experiments. Simulations using the IONEFFECTS element in the particle tracking code elegant will also be presented.

We propose a new approach to electron beam tomography: we will generate a pulsed sheet of electrons. As the ion beam bunches pass through the sheet, they cause distortions in the distribution of sheet electrons arriving at a luminescent screen with a CCD device on the other side of the beam; these sheet electrons are interpreted to give a continuous measurement of the beam profile. The apparatus to generate the sheet beam is a strip cathode, which, compared to the scanning electron beam probe, is smaller, has simpler design and less expensive manufacturing, has better magnetic shielding, has higher sensitivity and higher resolution, has better accuracy of measurement, and has better time resolution.

Exact transport equations for a pure dipole bend (a bend with a dipole field and nothing else) have been derived and formulated to avoid singularities when evaluated. The transport equations include finite edge angles and no assumption is made in terms of the bending field being matched to the curvature of the coordinate system.

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is upgrading the storage ring to a design that requires on-axis injection. Matching between the incoming beam and the ring is important to ensure high injection efficiency. Toward this end, we have developed and tested a method for measuring all σ matrix elements except those related to the time coordinate. We report on challenges inherent in this technique, based on simulation and real-world trials.

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is upgrading the storage ring to a hybrid seven-bend-achromat design with reverse bends, providing a natural emittance of 41 pm at 6 GeV. The small dynamic acceptance entails operation in on-axis swap-out mode. Careful consideration is required of the safety implications of injection with shutters open. Tracking studies require simulation of multiple simultaneous magnet errors, some combinations of which may introduce potentially dangerous conditions. A naive grid scan of possible errors, while potentially very complete, would be prohibitively time-consuming. We describe a different approach using biased sampling of particle distributions from successive scans. We also describe other aspects of the simulations, such as use of 3D field maps and a highly detailed aperture model.

The Advanced Photon Source Upgrade will use a multi-bend achromatic lattice to reduce vertical and horizontal beam emittances by one- and two-orders of magnitude respectively; in addition operating current will double. The resulting electron beam will be capable of depositing more than 150 MGy on machine protection collimators creating high-energy-density conditions. Work is underway to couple the beam dynamics code Elegant with the particle-matter interaction program MARS and the magnetohydrodynamics code FLASH to model the effects of whole beam dumps on the collimators. Loss distributions from Elegant are input to MARS which provide dose maps to FLASH. We also examine the propagation of downstream shower components after the beam interacts with the collimator. Electrons and positrons are tracked to determine locations of beam loss. Beam dump experiments conducted in the APS storage-ring, generated dose levels as high as 30 MGy resulting in severe damage to the collimator surfaces with melting in the bulk. The deformed collimator surface may lead to beam deposition in unexpected locations. A fan-out kicker is planned to mitigate the effects of whole beam dumps on the collimators.

TUPA27 Longitudinal Feedback Dynamics in Storage Rings with Small Synchrotron Tunes feedback, HOM, synchrotron, cavity 405

We analyze the dynamics of multibunch longitudinal instabilities including bunch-by-bunch feedback under the assumption that the synchrotron tune is small. We find that increasing the feedback response does not always guarantee stability, even in the ideal case with no noise. As an example, we show that if the growth rate of a cavity-driven mode is of the order of the synchrotron frequency, then there are parameter regions for which the instability cannot be controlled by feedback irrespective of its gain. We verify these calculations with tracking simulations relevant to the APS-U, and find that the dynamics do not depend upon whether the longitudinal feedback relies on phase-sensing or energy-sensing technology. Hence, this choice should be dictated by measurement accuracy and noise considerations.

A single-pulse, high dynamic range, cost-effective BPM signal detector has been on the most wanted list of the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) Test Facility for many years. The unique capabilities of the AWA beamline require BPM instrumentation with an unprecedented dynamic range, thus a cost-effective solution could be challenging to design and prototype. With the help of a better circuit model for a button BPM signal source, we are able to do the circuit simulations with more realistic input signals and make predictions much closer to realities. Our most recent design and prototype results are shared in this paper.

A novel trapezoidal coil 2D carbon beam scanner has been designed, and a prototype has been successfully developed and tested. The field performance of the magnet has been characterized and it is in excellent agreement with the simulations. A better than 1% field uniformity in both planes has been achieved within the useful aperture of the magnet. This represents a significant improvement over the prior art of the elephant-ear scanner design. A comparison of the two designs and the results from the new trapezoidal-coil design will be presented and discussed. Higher power and online beam testing are planned in the near future.

Dipole correctors and phase shifters are usually needed in the interspace of a permanent magnet (PM)-based undulator array for purposes of beam steering and phase matching when the field strength is changing. Unlike the PM-based undulators, the superconducting undulator (SCU) can change its end field with the help of varying currents in the end coils. By setting the end coil currents the beam-steering and the phase-matching could be realized, thus eliminating the need for standalone correctors and phase shifters, saving the interspace as well as reducing the mechanical complexity of an undulator array. We developed a procedure for determining the SCU end coil currents and verified it by numerical simulations. The procedure as well as the simulation results are described in this paper.

  Particle accelerators utilize a large number of control parameters to generate and manipulate beams. Digital models and simulations are often used to find the best operating parameters to achieve a set of given beam parameters. Unfortunately, the optimized physics parameters cannot precisely be set in the control system due to, e.g., calibration uncertainties. We developed a data-driven physics-informed surrogate model using neural networks to replace digital models relying on beam-dynamics simulations. This surrogate model can then be used to perform quick diagnostics of the Argonne Wakefield accelerator in real time using nonlinear least-squares methods to find the most likely operating parameters given a measured beam distribution.

  In the framework of LANSCE Accelerator Modernization Project preliminary research, during evaluation of critical technology elements it was found that the proposed RFQ design had not yet been demonstrated experimentally worldwide. Such an RFQ should combine the ability of traditional light ion RFQs (i.e., [1]) and the flexibility of acceleration of pre-bunched beams, like RFQs for heavy ions [2]. The proposed RFQ should be able to accelerate H+ and H beams with 35-mA beam current from 100 keV to 3 MeV and at the same time preserve the prescribed macro-bunch beam time structure required by experiments. New algorithms for RFQ geometry generation have been proposed, and optimization algorithms are being developed at LANL. LAMP demonstration plans also include development of a new set of electrodes for the existing RFQ at our Test Stand that will allow us to demonstrate the critical technology ahead of time in a laboratory experimental setup with low duty factor and low energy.

Accelerator channel misalignments can significantly affect beam parameters in long linear accelerators. Measurements of misalignments of the LANSCE linac lattice elements was performed by the Mechanical Design Engineering Group of the Los Alamos Accelerator Operations and Technology Division. In order to determine effect of misalignment on beam parameters in LANSCE linac, the start-to-end simulations of LANSCE accelerator were performed using Beampath and CST codes including measured displacements of quadrupoles and accelerating tanks. Simulations were done for both H+ and H beams with various beam flavors. Effect of misalignments was compared with those due to beam space charge and distortion of RF field along the channel. Paper presents results of simulation and comparison with experimental data of beam emittance growth along the machine.

The self-consistent nonlinear dynamics of a relativistic charged particle beam, particularly through the interaction with its complete self-fields, is a fundamental problem underpinning many accelerator design issues in high brightness beam applications, as well as the development of advanced accelerators. A novel self-consistent particle-mesh code, CoSyR [1], is developed based on a Lagrangian method for the calculation of the beam particles’ radiation near-fields and associated beam dynamics. Our recent simulations reveal the slice emittance growth in a bend and complex interplay between the longitudinal and transverse dynamics that are not captured in the 1D longitudinal static-state Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) model. We further show that surrogate models with symplectic neural networks can be trained from simulation data with significant time-savings for the modeling of nonlinear beam dynamics effects. Possibility to extend such surrogate models for the study of spin-orbital coupling is also briefly discussed.

TUPA57 Electromagnetic and Beam Dynamics Modeling of the LANSCE Coupled-Cavity Linac cavity, linac, emittance, quadrupole 472

  The 800-MeV proton linac at LANSCE consists of a drift-tube linac, which brings the beam to 100 MeV, followed by a coupled-cavity linac (CCL) consisting of 44 modules. Each CCL module contains multiple tanks, and it is fed by a single 805-MHz klystron. CCL tanks are multi-cell blocks of identical re-entrant side-coupled cavities, which are followed by drifts with magnetic quadrupole doublets. Bridge couplers - special cavities displaced from the beam axis - electromagnetically couple CCL tanks over such drifts. We have developed 3D CST models of CCL tanks. Their electromagnetic analysis is performed using MicroWave Studio. Beam dynamics is modeled with Particle Studio for bunch trains with realistic beam distributions using the CST calculated RF fields and quadrupole magnetic fields to determine the output beam parameters. Beam dynamics results are crosschecked with other multi-particle codes.

We present our experimental design and low power test results of a structure for the proof-of-principle demonstration of fast increase of the first harmonic current content in a bunched electron beam, using the technique of electrostatic potential depression (EPD). A primarily bunched electron beam from an inductive output tube (IOT) at 710 MHz first enters an idler cavity, where the longitudinal slope of the beam energy distribution is reversed. The beam then transits through an EPD section implemented by a short beam pipe with a negative high voltage bias, inside which the rate of increase of the first harmonic current is significantly enhanced. An output cavity measures the harmonic current developed inside the beam downstream of the EPD section. Low power test results of the idler and the output cavities agree with the theoretical design.

We present our numerical approach and preliminary results of the calculations of whistler and X-mode wave generation by a bunched electron beam in space. The artificial generation of whistler and X-mode plasma waves in space is among the candidate techniques to accomplish the radiation belt remediation (RBR), in an effort to precipitate energetic electrons towards the atmosphere to reduce their threat to low-Earth orbit satellites. Free-space propagation of an electron pulse in a constant background magnetic field was simulated with the CST particle-in-cell (PIC) solver, with the temporal evolution of the beam recorded. The SpectralPlasmaSolver (SPS) was then modified to use the recorded electron pulse propagation to calculate the real-time plasma waves generated by the beam. SPS simulation results of the wave generation for the upcoming Beam-PIE experiment as well as an ideal bunched electron beam are shown.

Xray free electron laser (XFEL) facilities in their current form are large, costly to maintain, and inaccessible due to their minimal supply and high demand. It is then advantageous to consider miniaturizing XFELs through a variety of means. We hope to increase beam brightness from the photoinjector via high gradient operation (>120 MV/m) and cryogenic temperature operation at the cathode (<77K). To this end we have designed and fabricated our new CrYogenic Brightness-Optimized Radiofrequency Gun (CYBGORG). The photogun is 0.5 cell so much less complicated than our eventual 1.6 cell photoinjector. It will serve as a prototype and test bed for cathode studies in a new cryogenic and very high gradient regime. We present here the fabricated structure, progress towards commissioning, and beamline simulations.

Dielectric Wakefield Acceleration (DWA) is a promising technique for realizing the next generation of linear colliders. It provides access to significantly higher accelerating gradients than traditional radio-frequency cavities. One impediment to realizing a DWA-powered accelerator is the issue of the transverse stability of the beams within the dielectric structure due to short-range wakefields. These short-range wakefields have a tendency to induce a phenomenon known as single-bunch beam breakup, which acts as its name implies and destroys the relevant beam. We attempt to solve this issue by leveraging the quadrupole mode excited in a planar dielectric structure and then alternating the orientation of said structure to turn an unstable system into a stable one. We examine this issue computationally to determine the limits of stability and based on those simulations describe a future experimental realization of this strategy.

A method to deduce the transverse self-wakefields acting on a beam, based only on screen images, is introduced. By employing derivative-free optimization, the relatively high-dimensional parameter space can be efficiently explored to determine the multipole components up to the desired order. This technique complements simulations, which are able to directly infer the wakefield composition. It is applied to representative simulation results as a benchmark and also applied to experimental data on skew wake observations from dielectric slab structures.

The dense drive beam used in plasma wakefield acceleration generates a linear focusing force that causes electrons inside the witness beam to undergo betatron oscillations, giving rise to betatron radiation. Because information about the properties of the beam is encoded in the betatron radiation, measurements of the radiation such as those recorded by the UCLA-built Compton spectrometer can be used to reconstruct beam parameters. Two possible methods of extracting information about beam parameters from measurements of radiation are machine learning (ML), which is increasingly being implemented for different fields of beam diagnostics, and a statistical technique known as maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). We assess the ability of both machine learning and MLE methods to accurately extract beam parameters from measurements of betatron radiation.

Plasma wakefield acceleration using the electron linear accelerator test facility, SAMURAI, can be used to study the Jovian electron spectrum due to the high energy spread of the beam after the plasma interaction. The SAMURAI RF facility which is currently being constructed and commissioned at UCLA, is is capable of producing beams with 10 MeV energy, 2 nC charge, and 200 fsec bunch lengths with a 4 um emittance. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are used to study the beam spectrum that would be generated from plasma interaction. Experimental methods and diagnostics are discussed in this paper.

  At the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) facility, particle-tracking simulations have been critical to guiding beam-dynamic experiments, e.g., for various beam manipulations using an available emittance-exchange beamline (EEX). The unique beamline available at AWA provide a test case to perform in-depth comparison between different particle-tracking programs including collective effects such as space-charge force and coherent synchrotron radiation. In this study, using AWA electron injector and emittance exchange beamline, we compare the simulations results obtained by GPT, OPAL, and Impact-T beam-dynamics programs. We will specifically report on convergence test as a function of parameters that controls the underlying algorithms.

  Fermilab Booster synchrotron requires an intensity upgrade from 4.5×1012 to 6.5×1012 protons per pulse as a part of Fermilab’s Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II). One of the factors which may limit the high-intensity performance is the fast transverse instabilities caused by electron cloud effects. According to the experience in the Recycler, the electron cloud gradually builds up over multiple turns in the combined function magnets and can reach final intensities orders of magnitude greater than in a pure dipole. Since the Booster synchrotron also incorporates combined function magnets, it is important to discover any existence of an electron cloud. And if it does, its effects on the PIP-II era Booster and whether mitigating techniques are required. As the first step, the presence or absence of the electron cloud was investigated using a gap technique. This paper presents experimental details and observations of the bunch-by-bunch tune shifts of beams with various bunch train structures at low and high intensities and simulation results conducted using PyECLOUD software.

  Metamaterials (MTMs) are engineered materials that can show exotic electromagnetic properties such as simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability. MTMs are promising candidates for structure-based wakefield acceleration structures, which can mitigate the impact of radio frequency (RF) breakdown, thus achieving a high gradient. Previous experiments carried out at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) successfully demonstrated MTM structures as efficient power extraction and transfer structures (PETS) from a high-charge drive beam. Here we present the design, fabrication, and cold test of an X-band MTM accelerator structure for acceleration of the witness beam in the two-beam acceleration scheme. The MTM structure design was performed using the CST Studio Suite, with the unit cell and the complete multi-cell periodic structure both optimized for high gradient. Cold test of the fabricated structure shows good agreement with simulation results. Future work includes a beam test at AWA to study the short-pulse RF breakdown physics in the MTM structure, as an important component towards a future compact linear collider based on two-beam acceleration.

  We present a simulation study to characterize the stability region of the Fermilab Recycler Ring in the context of secondary emission yield (SEY). Interactions between electrons and beam pipe material can produce electron clouds that jeopardize beam stability in certain focusing configurations. Such an instability was documented in the Recycler, and the work presented here reflects improvements to better understand that finding. We incorporated the Furman-Pivi Model into a PyECLOUD analysis, and we determined the instability threshold given various bunch lengths, beam intensities, SEY magnitudes, and model parameters.

The research program at the SNS Beam Test Facility is focused on resolving observed model/measurement discrepancies that preclude accurate loss prediction in high-power linacs. The current program of study is focused on deploying direct 6D measurements to reconstruct a realistic model of the initial beam distribution at the RFQ output. This detailed characterization also provides an opportunity for benchmark of RFQ simulations. Here we compare PARMTEQ predictions against 5D-resolved (x, x’, y, y’, dE) phase space measurements of the BTF H bunch, focusing on the transverse distribution. This work is an extension of [1], which focused on the longitudinal phase space.

  During the commissioning of the normal conducting VHF RF gun of LCLS II, it was observed that field emission (dark current) of roughly 2 µA level was present under normal operation of the gun. While the dark current of this level is deemed manageable with existing beamline configurations, it is desired in precaution to add a collimator on the low energy beamline to block the dark current, being concerned that the dark current situation might worsen with time. Since no spare longitudinal space is available, the new device takes place of the existing YAG screen. The new device is made of a 15 mm thick copper plate, with four round apertures of 6, 8, 10, and 12 mm radius respectively. At the end of the collimator plate, features are made for clamping two YAG screens and mounting their corresponding mirrors for beam/halo profile imaging. The collimator plate is electrically insulated from the chamber so that it can also be used for measuring the dark current. A motor-driven UHV compatible linear translator shifts the device between positions. Besides design details, related thermal, beam dynamics, and radiation analyses as well as operation experience will be presented.

We present a parallel automatic shape optimization workflow for designing accelerator cavities. The newly developed 3D parallel optimization tool Opt3P based on discrete adjoint methods is used to determine the optimal accelerator cavity shape with the desired spectral response. Initial and updated models, meshes, and design velocities of design parameters for defining the cavity shape are generated with Simmetrix tools for mesh generation (MeshSim), geometry modification and query (GeomSim), and user interface tools (SimModeler). Two shape optimization examples using this automatic simulation workflow will be presented here. One is the TESLA cavity with higher-order-mode (HOM) couplers and the other is a superconducting rf (SRF) gun. The objective for the TESLA cavity is to minimize HOM damping factors and for the SRF gun to minimize the surface electric and magnetic fields while maintaining its operating mode frequency at a prescribed value. The results demonstrate that the automatic simulation tool allows an efficient shape optimization procedure with minimal manual operations. All simulations were performed on the NERSC supercomputer Cori system for solution speedup.

  The LCLS-II spare gun (Gun-2) design is largely based on the existing LCLS-II gun (Gun-1), in which there is significant captured dark current (DC) that originates on the high field copper surface near the cathode plug gap opening. To help suppress DC, the Gun-2 cathode and anode noses and the cathode plug opening are elliptically shaped to minimize the peak surface field for a given cathode gradient. Stainless steel (SS) cathode and anode inserts are used in Gun-2 to further reduce dark current. The RF simulations were performed using a model that includes all the 3D features. The thermal and structural analyses were done to investigate the effects of the air pressure and RF heating. The multi-physics simulation results provided the information needed to compute the overall frequency change from the basic 2D model to the nominal frequency during operation. The Gun-2 cathode-to-anode gap distance will be made 1 mm longer than the nominal gap with the expectation that less than 1 mm will be machined off to meet the target frequency. In this paper, the Gun-2 frequency correction calculations are presented, and the cathode-to-anode gap determination is discussed.

Since the early 1990s, the injector of the CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson Lab has relied on a normal-conducting RF graded-beta capture section to boost the kinetic energy of the electron beam from 100 / 130 keV to 600 keV for subsequent acceleration using a cryomodule housing two superconducting 5-cell cavities similar to those used throughout the accelerator. To simplify the injector design and improve the beam quality, the normal-conducting RF capture section and the cryomodule will be replaced with a new single booster cryomodule employing a superconducting, β = 0.6, 2-cell-cavity capture section and a single, β = 0.97, 7-cell cavity. The Upgraded Injector Test Facility at Jefferson Lab is currently hosting the new cryomodule to evaluate its performance with beam before installation at CEBAF. While demonstrating satisfactory performance of the booster and good agreement with simulations, our beam test results also speak to limitations of accelerator operations in a noisy, thermally unregulated environment.

The intrabeam scattering is an important collective effect that can deteriorate the property of a high-intensity beam and electron cooling is a method to mitigate the IBS effect. JSPEC (JLab Simulation Package on Electron Cooling) is an open-source C++ program developed at Jefferson Lab, which simulates the evolution of the ion beam under the IBS and/or the electron cooling effect. The Python wrapper of the C++ code, pyJSPEC, for Python 3.x environment has been recently developed and released. It allows the users to run JSPEC simulations in a Python environment. It also makes it possible for JSPEC to collaborate with other accelerator and beam modeling programs as well as plentiful python tools in data visualization, optimization, machine learning, etc. In this paper, we will introduce the features of pyJSPEC and demonstrate how to use it with sample codes and numerical results.

  The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) incorporates beam crabbing to recover geometric luminosity loss from the nonzero crossing angle at the interaction point (IP). It is well-known that crab cavity imperfections can cause growth of colliding beam emittances, thus degrading collider performance. Here we report a particle tracking study to quantify these effects. Presently the study is focused on crab cavity RF phase noise. Simulations were carried out using Bmad. Dependence of emittance growth on phase noise level was obtained which could be used for developing crab cavity phase control specifications. We also benchmarked these simulations with theory.

High intensity proton pulses strike the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS)’s mercury target to provide bright neutron beams. These strikes deposit extensive energy into the mercury and its steel vessel. Prediction of the resultant loading on the target is difficult when helium gas is intentionally injected into the mercury to reduce the loading and to mitigate the pitting damage on the vessel. A 2-phase material model that incorporates the Rayleigh-Plesset (R-P) model is expected to address this complex multi-physics dynamics problem by including the bubble dynamics in the liquid mercury. We present a study comparing the measured target strains in the SNS target station with the simulation results of the solid mechanics simulation framework. We investigate a wide range of various physical model parameters, including the number of bubble families, bubble size distribution, viscosity, surface tension, etc. to understand their impact on simulation accuracy. Our initial findings reveal that using 8-10 bubble families in the model renders a simulation strain envelope that covers the experimental ones. Further optimization studies are planned to predict the strain response more accurately.

  The High-Voltage Converter Modulators (HVCM) used to power the klystrons in the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac were selected as one area to explore machine learning due to reliability issues in the past and the availability of large sets of archived waveforms. Progress in the past two years has resulted in generating a significant amount of simulated and measured data for training neural network models such as recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and variational autoencoders. Applications in anomaly detection, fault classification, and prognostics of capacitor degradation were pursued in collaboration with the Jefferson Laboratory, and early promising results were achieved. This paper will discuss the progress to date and present results from these efforts.

  Earlier, we have reported on a record-breaking 3-MeV Accelerator Beam Centerline (ABC) built in 2017-2018. An upgraded version of this 3-MeV S-band ABC has been developed at Varex Imaging as a key component for one of the most popular X-ray industrial linear accelerator systems, commonly used for security and NDT applications. Being significantly strained by excessive backstreaming, increasing of the ABC output is a challenging task. We describe these challenges and highlight high power test results. The triode gun and structure design improvements allowed us to raise stable output up to 530 Rad/min/1m at 3 MeV and up to 220 Rad/min/1m at 4.5 MeV with a widely available 2.5-MW/2.7-kW magnetron, while maintaining the spot size at 2 mm.

A 3-MeV X-band linac has been developed employing a cost-effective split structure design in order to replace radioactive isotope irradiators currently used for the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and other applications. The penetration of a Co-60 irradiator can be matched with Bremsstrahlung produced by a 3-MeV electron beam. The use of electron accelerators eliminates security risks and hazards inherent with radioactive sources. We present the current state of this X-band split structure linac and the rest of the irradiator system.

Rare isotope beams are produced at FRIB via fragmentation of a primary heavy ion beam in a thin target. The isotope beam of interest is contaminated with other fragments, which must be filtered out to ensure the delivery of rare isotopes with desired rates and purities. One of the stages of fragment separation uses an RF deflecting cavity to provide time-of-flight separation. However, to avoid neighboring bunches overlapping with each other and with the contaminants, it is necessary to increase the inter-bunch distance by a factor of four, corresponding to a 20.125 MHz rate. To solve this problem, we have developed an RF chopper system for the 500 keV/u primary heavy-ion beams. The system consists of a deflecting quarter wave resonator (QWR) cavity operating at 60.375 MHz, two dipole steering magnets, and a beam dump. In this paper, we present and discuss the optimization of the electromagnetic design of the QWR cavity and magnets, as well as some aspects, related to beam dynamics and conceptual engineering design.

Photocathodes of various materials are used in photoinjectors for generating photoelectron beams. Of particular interest are the alkali antimonides because of their ultra-high quantum efficiency (QE) and relatively low requirements for growth, and metallic materials such as Cu and Mg which have lower QE but are easier to maintain and have longer lifetime. The biggest challenge of using the alkali antimonide photocathode is that it has an extremely stringent requirement on vacuum and is destroyed rapidly by residual air in the system, while exposure of Mg and Cu in air also impacts the photocathode performance because of the oxidation. The photocathode can be protected against harmful gas molecules by using one or two monolayers of a 2D material such as graphene or hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Furthermore, hBN monolayers even have the potential to improve the QE of the photocathode when working as the encapsulation thin-film. In this paper, we will discuss the feasibility of coating a photocathode with hBN by high power pulsed RF sputtering by using metallic photocathodes as examples, and compare the performance with encapsulated photocathodes with transferred hBN thin-films.

This paper extends prior work describing a complex envelope (i.e., baseband) dynamic model of excited accelerator RF cavities, including the effects of frequency detuning, beam loading, reflections, multiple drive ports, and parasitic modes. This model is presented here in closed-form transfer function and state-variable realizations, which may be more appropriate for analytic purposes. Several example simulations illustrate the detailed insight into RF system behavior afforded by this model.

Microbunched electron cooling (MBEC) is a cooling scheme in which a beam of hadrons to be cooled induces energy perturbations in a beam of electrons. These electron energy perturbations are amplified and turned into density modulations, which in turn provide energy kicks to the hadrons, tending to cool them. For simplification, previous work has modelled the electron-hadron interactions using a disc-disc model, assuming that the inter-particle kicks depend only on the longitudinal distances between individual hadrons and electrons. In reality, these kicks will also have a transverse dependence, which will impact the cooling process. We incorporate this transverse kick dependence into our simulations of the cooling process, allowing us to better understand the physics and provide improved design goals for the MBEC cooler for the Electron-Ion Collider.

  We discuss impedance calculations and related heating issues of the titanium-coated NSLS-II kicker ceramic chambers, with the titanium coating thickness estimated from in situ measurements of the end-to-end resistance of each chamber. Power densities are calculated on the titanium coating to allow for thermal analysis with the code ANSYS and comparison with heating measurements. The impedance analysis is performed using a realistic model of the ceramic complex permittivity, and special consideration is given to the impedance calculation in the limit of zero titanium coating thickness.

  The beam intensity in future low-emittance light sources with small gap wigglers and undulators is limited by the effects of short-range wakefields, especially by the beam-induced heating of the vacuum chamber components. We have cross-checked two electromagnetic solvers, GdfidL and ECHO3D, by simulation of the short-range wakefields in the NSLS-II flange absorber and in the taper transition of an in-vacuum undulator to test the consistency and precision of the wakefield models.

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) presently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory will collide polarized high energy electron beams with hadron beams with luminosity up to 1034 cm-2 s-1 in the center mass energy range of 20 to 140 GeV. Crab cavities are used to compensate the geometric luminosity due to a large crossing angle in the EIC. However, it was found that the phase noise in crab cavities will generate a significant emittance growth for hadron beams and its tolerance from analytical calculation is very small for the Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) of the EIC. In this paper, we report on 6-D symplectic particle tracking to estimate the proton emittance growth rate, especially in the vertical plane, for the HSR with weak-strong beam-beam and other machine or lattice errors.

  Large ion beam emittance growth is observed in strong-strong beam-beam simulations for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). As we know, the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) solver is subject to numerical noises. As an alternative approach, an extended soft-Gaussian code is developed with help of Hermite polynomials in this paper. The correlation between the horizontal and the vertical coordinates of macro-particles is considered. The 3rd order center moments are also included in the beam-beam force. This code could be used as a cross check tool of PIC based strong-strong simulation.

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), to be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), is designed to provide a high electron-proton luminosity of 1034 cm-2 s-1. One of the challenging tasks for the Electron Storage Ring (ESR) is to operate at an average beam current of 2.5 A within 1160 bunches with a ~ 7 mm bunch length. The Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) will accumulate an average current of 0.69 A within 290 bunches with a 60 mm bunch length. Both rings require the impedance budget simulations. The intense e-beam in the ESR can lead to the overheating of vacuum chamber components due to localized metallic losses. This paper focuses on the beam-induced heating analysis of the ESR vacuum components including bellows, gate-valve, and BPM. To perform thermal analysis, the resistive loss on individual components is calculated with CST and then fed to ANSYS to determine the temperature distribution on the vacuum components. Preliminary results suggest that active water cooling will be required for most of the ESR vacuum components. Similar approach is applied to the HSR vacuum components. The thermal analysis of the HSR stripline injection kicker is presented.

For the APS-Upgrade, it was decided to leave the present APS injector chain in place and make individual improvements where needed. The main challenges faced by the injectors are delivering a high charge bunch (up to 16 nC in a single shot) to the storage ring, operating the booster synchrotron and storage ring at different rf frequencies, and maintaining good charge stability during APS-U operations. This paper will summarize recent progress on the injector upgrade. Topics include bucket targeting with the new injection/extraction timing system (IETS), modeling of high charge longitudinal instability in the PAR, and measurements of charge stability for different modes of operation.

Increasing brightness at the cathode is highly desirable for a diverse suite of applications in the electron accelerator community. These applications range from free electron lasers to ultrafast electron diffraction. Many options for higher brightness cathodes are under investigation notably semiconductor cathodes. We consider here the possibility for an alternative paradigm whereby the cathode surface is controlled to reduce the effective area of illumination and emission. We fabricated nanoblade metallic coated cathodes using common nanofabrication techniques. We have demonstrated that a beam can be successfully extracted with a low emittance and we have reconstructed a portion of the energy spectrum. As a result of our particular geometry, our beam possesses a notably high aspect ratio in its transverse plane. We can now begin to consider modifications for the production of intentionally patterned beams such as higher aspect ratios and hollow beams.

No simulation of intense beam transport has accurately reproduced measurements at the level of beam halo. One potential explanation of this discrepancy is a lack of knowledge of the initial distribution of particles in six-dimensional (6D) phase space. A direct 6D measurement of an ion beam was recently performed at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Beam Test Facility (BTF), revealing nonlinear transverse-longitudinal correlations in the beam core that affect downstream evolution. Unfortunately, direct 6D measurements are limited in resolution and dynamic range; here, we discuss the use of three slits and one screen to measure a 5D projection of the 6D phase space distribution, overcoming these limitations at the cost of one dimension. We examine the measured 5D distribution before and after transport through the BTF and compare to particle-in-cell simulations. We also discuss the possibility of reconstructing the 6D distribution from 5D and 4D projections.

The microbunching instability in linear accelerators can significantly increase the energy spread of an electron beam. The instability can be suppressed by artificially increasing the random energy spread of an electron beam, but this leads to unacceptably high energy spreads for future XFEL systems. One possibility of suppressing this instability is to use laser assisted bunch compression (LABC) instead of the second chicane in an XFEL system, thereby eliminating the cascaded chicane effect that magnifies the microbunching instability. An experiment is proposed at ATF to test this concept, and numerical simulations of the experiment are shown.

In this work, we investigated the evolution in bunch length of beams through the CEBAF injector for low to high charge per bunch. Using the General Particle Tracer (GPT), we have simulated the beams through the beamline of the CEBAF injector and analyzed the beam to get the bunch lengths at the location of chopper. We performed these simulations with the existing injector using a 130 kV gun voltage. Finally, we describe measurements to validate these simulations. The measurements have been done using chopper scanning technique for two injector laser drive frequency modes: one with 500 MHz, and another with 250 MHz.
