  The LHC injector chain for Pb-ion beams at CERN consists of Linac3, the accumulator ring LEIR, the PS and the SPS. In the context of the LHC injectors upgrade (LIU) project an intense program of machine development studies has been performed in the last two years to maximise the intensity of Pb-ion beams at LHC injection. In this paper we present an analysis of the operational performance achieved so far, with the goal of 1) identifying the remaining performance bottlenecks along the chain and possible areas for improvement, and 2) to optimize the Pb-ion beam production scheme for the High Luminosity (HL-) LHC era. A consistent set of beam parameters for the HL-LHC era has been established taking into account the already achieved improvements as well as foreseen upgrades still to be implemented, such as slip stacking in the SPS.

TUPVA077 The Phase Slip Factor of the Electrostatic Cryogenic Storage Ring CSR 2255

    MPI-K, Heidelberg, Germany
 
  For the determination of the momentum spread of an ion beam from the measurable revolution frequency distribution the knowledge of the phase slip factor of the storage ring is necessary. At various working points of the cryogenic storage ring CSR installed at the MPI for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg the slip factor was simulated and compared with measurements. The predicted functional relationship of the slip factor and the horizontal tune depends on the different islands of stability, which has been experimentally verified. This behavior of the slip factor is in clear contrast to magnetic storage rings. In the paper we compare the results of the simulations with the measurements

TUPVA079 Model of Statistical Errors in the Search for the Deuteron EDM in the Storage Ring 2258
 
  • A.E. Aksentyev, V. Senichev
    FZJ, Jülich, Germany
 
  In this work we investigate the standard error of the spin precession frequency estimate in an experiment for the search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the deuteron using the polarimeter. The basic principle of polarimetry is the scattering of a polarized beam on a carbon target. Since the number of particles in one fill is limited, we must maximize the utility of the beam. This raises the question of sampling efficiency, as the signal, being an oscillating function, varies in informational content. To address it, we define a numerical measurement model, and compare two sampling strategies (uniform and frequency-modulated) in terms of beam-use efficiency. The upshot is the formulation of the conditions necessary for the effective use of the modulated sampling strategy, and the evaluation of its advantage over the uniform strategy. The simulation results are also used to compare two competing analytical models for the standard error of the frequency estimate.

TUPVA082 Spin Tracking for a Deuteron EDM Storage Ring 2267
 
  • Al.Alb. Skawran, A. Lehrach
    FZJ, Jülich, Germany
 
  The purpose of the Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations (JEDI) collaboration is the measurement of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of charged particles like deuterons. There are two possible experimental setups under consideration for realization of this measurement with deuterons: The Frozen and Quasi Frozen Spin storage ring experiments. Both approaches are discussed and compared in this presentation. Various misalignments and systematic effects are simulated in the context of comparison. Furthermore the clockwise-counterclockwise method (CW-CCW) is applied and checked for its validity.

TUPVA083 Analysis of Closed-Orbit Deviations for a First Direct Deuteron Electric Dipole Moment Measurement at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY 2271
 
  • V. Schmidt, A. Lehrach
    FZJ, Jülich, Germany
 
  This presentation investigates closed orbit influencing effects focusing on transverse orbit deviations. Using a model of the Cooler Synchrotron COSY at the Forschungszentrum Jülich implemented in the Methodical Accelerator Design program, several magnet misalignments are simulated and analyzed. A distinction is made between magnet displacements along the axes and rotations around them. Results are always analyzed for the uncorrected as well as for the orbit after the application of an orbit correction. Furthermore, the effect of displaced beam position monitors is simulated and a constraint resolution of their readout is considered. Besides magnet misalignments also field variations resulting from residual power supply oscillations are quantified for all types of magnets.

  One of the possible arguments for the breaking of CP invariance is the existence of non-vanishing electric dipole moments (EDM) of elementary particles. Currently, the Jülich Electric Dipole Moment Investigation (JEDI) collaboration works under the conceptual design of the ring specifically for search of the deuteron electrical dipole moment (dEDM). The proposed Quasi-Frozen Spin concept differs from the Frozen Spin concept in that the spin of the reference particle is alternately deflected by a few degrees in different directions relative to momentum in the electric and magnetic parts of the ring. The QFS concept will allow using the existing COSY ring as pilot facility. The paper presents conceptual approach to ring design based on results of a study of spin decoherence and systematic errors, as well as the sensitivity estimation of the method to the determination of EDM.

TUPVA088 Observing Suppression of Syncrotron Oscillation Amplitudes 2284
 
  • K. Jimbo
    Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
 
  We proposed a method to reduce loosing particles in acceleration stage of synchrotrons. A slowly varying horizontal electrostatic field may be useful to de-excite synchrotron oscillations. Then we have to somehow observe the damping of amplitudes of synchrotron oscillations to confirm the effect. We assume that the synchrotron component of rationalized Hamiltonian in acceleration stage is kept constant. Our experimental results did not contradict with this assumption. Taking advantage of this assumption, we can easily confirm the damping of synchrotron oscillation amplitudes experimentally through the increase of synchrotron frequencies.

As a key part of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Project, the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) accumulates and accelerates the proton beam from 80MeV to 1.6GeV for extracting and striking the target with a repetition rate of 25Hz. As a commissioning plan, the BPM offset should be carefully investigated before closed orbit distortion (COD) correction. The fast response correctors are installed to correct orbit distortion and model the lattice of the RCS in every 1ms period. The bunch-by-bunch data from BPMs are collected and decomposed for better known of the RCS Lattice.

  The superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron allows one to accelerate proton and deuteron beams up to 13.5 GeV/c. The beam depolarization occurs at the crossing of spin resonances. For deuterons, the vertical polarization is preserved almost to the maximum momentum. Tens of spin resonances are crossing during the proton acceleration. The proton polarization will be preserved by a solenoidal 5% snake up to 3.4 GeV/c at the field ramp rate of 1 T/s. It is planned to use a partial 50% snake to eliminate the resonant depolarization of the proton beam in the total momentum range of the accelerator. The results of simulations and experimental data are presented.

  Three new experimental areas are organized for applied physics researches in frame of realization of the accelerator facility NICA. New beamlines are under development for applied researches on Nuclotron accelerator. The ion beams with energy of 250-800 MeV/n extracted from Nuclotron will be used for the radio-biological and materials research and modeling of the cosmic rays interactions with microchips. The equipment of two experimental stations is designed by JINR-ITEP collaboration for these applied researches. The design of the magnetic system, the beam diagnostic equipment, the target stations are developed in frame of this project. The design and construction of these beamlines and experimental stations are planned in 2017-2020. Low ion energy station will be installed in 2021-2023 inside the transportation channel from heavy ion linac HILAC. Two new stations for applied researches will be constructed in 2021-2023 with ion beams at energy up 4.5 GeV/u.

  DESIREE, the double electrostatic storage rings in Stockholm has been running since 2011(?). In the cold (13 K) environment with an excellent vacuum, very long storage times in both rings have been achieved, which has enabled the preparation of beams in a single quantum state. The status of DESIREE is presented with particular emphasis on measurements of stored beam currents in the sub-nA range. We also discuss the ongoing work towards stochastic cooling of very slow beams.

  The LHC performance during the proton-lead run in 2016 fully relied on a permanent monitoring and systematic improvement of the beam quality in all the injectors. The beam production and characteristics are explained in this paper, together with the improvements realized during the run from the source up to the flat top of the LHC. Transmission studies from one accelerator to the next as well as beam quality evolution studies during the cycle at each accelerator, have been carried out and are summarized in this paper. In 2016, the LHC had to deliver the beams to the experiments at two different energies, 4 Z TeV and 6.5 Z TeV. The properties of the beams at these two energies are also presented

Antimatter experiments are at the cutting edge of science. They are, however, very difficult to realize and have been limited by the performance of the only existing facility in the world, the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN. The Extra Low Energy Antiproton ring (ELENA) will be a critical upgrade to this unique facility and commissioned from autumn 2016. This will significantly enhance the beam quality and enable new experiments. To fully exploit the discovery potential of this facility, advances are urgently required in numerical tools that can adequately model beam transport, life time and interaction, beam diagnostics tools and detectors to characterize the beam's properties, as well as in novel experiments that exploit the enhanced beam quality that ELENA will provide. AVA is a new European research and training initiative between universities, research centers and industry that will carry out R&D into ELENA and related facilities. This contribution gives an overview of the AVA research programme across its three scientific work packages.

Imperfection and vertical intrinsic depolarizing resonances have been overcome by the two partial Siberian snakes in the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS). The relatively weak but numerous horizontal resonances are overcome by a pair of horizontal tune jump quads. 70% proton polarization has been achieved for 2·1011 intensity. Further gain can come from maintaining smaller transverse emittance with same beam intensity. The main efforts now are to reduce the transverse emittance in the AGS and Booster, as well as robust jump quads timing generation scheme. This paper summarizes the operation results in the injectors.
