|
The X-band power test stand needed for preprocessing and testing of key CLIC RF components is being installed in the test facility CTF3. The test stand includes several 12 GHz XL5 klystrons (50 MW, 1.5 mks) and a pulse compressor of the SLED-I type to obtain over 120 MW peak power at 230 ns pulse length. A compact compressor of this type based on TE01-TE02 beating wave in high Q-factor compressors cavities has been designed, produced, and tested at low power level. For testing accelerating structures and so-called "CLIC recirculation principle" of its operation several -3 dB couplers and variable power attenuators were also produced and tested.

| TUPSA006 | Experiment on RF Heating of the Copper Cavity - the Imitator of the CLIC High-Gradient Accelerating Structure | electron, vacuum, radiation, induction | 47 | |||||
|
The facility for joint experiments of JINR-IAP RAS has been commissioned to investigate the lifetime dependence of the CLIC high-gradient accelerating structure* on the surface damage by repetitive high-power RF pulses. The facility is based on the 30 GHz JINR free-electron maser, which uses an electron beam of the induction linear accelerator LIU-3000 **. Intermediate optical observations of the central ring allowed us to control the process of the damage evolution. The first damage of the copper surface have been observed after 16000 pulses with the pulse heating of 240°C. After 63000 pulses the damage of the surface of the oxygen-free copper cavity became strong enough to cause regular breakdowns inside the test cavity.

Beam breakup (BBU) effects resulting from parasitic wakefields provide a potentially serious limitation to the performance of dielectric structure based accelerators. We report here on comprehensive numerical studies of transverse bunch dynamics in a rectangular dielectric loaded accelerating structure. The numerical part of this research is based on a particle-Greens function beam dynamics code (BBU-3000) that we are developing. The code allows rapid, efficient simulation of beam breakup effects in advanced linear accelerators. It is shown that the LSE modes make its main contribution to the transverse deflecting force causing beam breakup in rectangular DLA structures. Results of test simulations are presented. |

|
COSY storage ring will be upgraded in 2011 by installation of a new electron cooler. Electron cooling will reduce energy spread of protons and so improve the precision of internal target experiments. Some of the most important parts of this new electron cooler are the electron gun and the collector, and they must satisfy several rigid requirements. Electron gun must provide high perveance electron beam with low transversal temperature and variable beam profile. The gun control electrode assembled of four separate sections will provide measurements of beam envelope along the transport section of the cooler. Displacement of corresponding part of the beam may be observed if alternating voltage is applied to each section. Collector should have high perveance, low secondary emission coefficient, and small dimensions. Wien filter is supposed to be installed before the collector to satisfy these requirements. In this case we can use high perveance small-scale collector with axially-symmetric magnetic field; secondary electrons will be absorbed in Wien filter. An additional vacuum pumping must be provided in the collector design.

To handle the adverse effect of transverse injection errors and resistive-wall instability in the U70, two frequency-band-separated feedback circuits are routinely employed. The first one is a narrow-band (around base-band DC) local end-to-end-analog circuit terminated by an electrostatic kicker. The second is a wide-band band-pass circuit with a variable (10% ca) digital delay line and low-level DSP units and an electro-magnetic kicker. Both the circuits were subjected to a deep renovation during the recent 5 years, which provided a better control over transverse motion of the beam.

A distributed automatic control system for the MCC-30-15 compact medical cyclotron has been built on the hierarchy principle. The lower hierarchical level consists of controllers for various systems of the cyclotron, which are networked on the basis of Profibus. An industrial Advantech-type computer has been chosen as the host computer of the system. The upper hierarchical level also contains computers to control the RF system of the cyclotron and operator workstation. Computers of the upper hierarchical level are networked on the basis of Ethernet. The number of computers for the operator workstation is limited only by the Ethernet bandwidth and the speed of the host computer. To measure the beam current, a multi-channel high-precision measuring current amplifier has been developed, signals from which are sent to a high-speed ADC. It is possible to view current pulse oscillograms, which makes much more easy the adjustment of the cyclotron modes.

Equipment under control consists of about 130 Magnet dipoles and quadrupoles, with power provided by 112 power supplies (PS). Each PS is controlled by an individual AD based controller; since a number of used magnets is not stable and exceeds the number of available PSs, commutation is used. Controllers are connected to a front-end computer by means of four CAN field buses. The software for these controllers is tuned to a specific type of the PS and a specific inductive load of the magnet. The server Dell PowerEdge T710 is used for PS control with multiply access from several client workstations which controls PSs for particular Beam Line. All client workstations along with server and front-end computer are connected together using a dedicated LAN. The server grants different users a different permissions to control their "own" PSs only. All measured data are stored into an archive, the archiving step is about 4 seconds. The operating commands are stored into the archive too, this feature gives a helpful possibility to reveal all users actions in case of measurement misunderstanding. The software is based on NI Developer Suit Core and MS Office Web Components packages.

The quality of power supplies and control software defines safety of the accelerator operation, stability and cost of operation. One of the todays tendencies in power supply system architecture is to use distributed CAN-connected power supplies with high level of local intellectual properties. These properties allow to achieve high stability, high safety of operation together with the specific features such as coil temperature check without any temperature sensors. Such programmable power supplies with the intellectual CANopen controller have been designed for the specific accelerator applications. The control system software was adapted to operate with CANopen protocol. Marathon's IPP-1/100 & IPP-4/35 power supplies with CANopen* are used now within the control systems of LU-60m and LU-10 linacs. 3200 hours of continues operation were achieved since the year 2008.

Fast-cycling magnetic fields, produced by superconducting magnets of the SIS300 accelerator, generate cable losses, which should be reduced by increase of contact resistances between wires in the cable. For this purpose various methods of cable interstrand resistance increasing are used successfully. But the values of contact resistances have strong influence on a stability, which could be characterized by minimum quench energy (MQE). From this point of view at IHEP it was carried out the experimental study of Rutherford type 19-strand superconducting cable with high value of contact resistances.

Due to dispersion properties, 4-vane RFQ cavity without resonant coupling is a thermally unstable structure. With deterioration of balance for local detuning, especially near cavity ends, there is a possibility for runaway in the field distribution and related thermal-stress effects. It can, in principle, finish with irreversible plastic deformations and cavity frequency shift. Both the increment and the threshold of instability are proportional to the average dissipated RF power. This possibility increases for long RFQ cavities. Also particularities for the cavity ends design are important. Some general features of this effect are discussed and illustrated with simulations.

The gantry can be rotated through ±1850 and ensures setting accuracies of the irradiator rotation velocity and positioning sufficient for the IMRT mode. The computerized control system is compatible with the treatment planning system and allows upgrading by adding new modules. To realize the conformal radiotherapy, the following additional medical equipment has been developed: a multi-leaf collimator a portal vision system for the dose field verification during irradiation and an upgraded treatment table made as a semi-pantograph. In 2010, it is planned to finish clinical tests of the "ELLUS-6M" accelerator with the additional medical equipment in the N. N. Petrov Scientific Research Oncology Institute, Pesochny, St. Petersburg.
