TUCHA01 Accelerator Aspects of the Precision Mass Measurement Experiments at the VEPP-4M Collider with the KEDR Detector polarization, collider, resonance, positron 11
 
  • S. A. Nikitin
    BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk
  One of most important constituents of the mass measurement experiments at colliders is a precision absolute beam energy calibration. Two methods for particle energy measurement are realized at the electron-positron collider VEPP-4M: one based on the resonant depolarization technique and another using the Back Compton Scattering. KEDR detector measurements of the J/Psi-, Psi' – mesons and the tau-lepton masses performed with the help of these methods is better in accuracy now in the world. Peculiarities of the beam energy calibraton as well as of the mass measurement experiments are represented in the viewpoint of requirements on beam parameters and accelerator systems.

Two multi-mode cavity designs aimed at increasing accelerating gradient are developed. The cavity of the first type has circular cross-section but allows excitation of several equidistantly-spaced eigenmodes by a bunched drive beam. This multi-mode excitation allows to reduce exposure time of the cavity surface by high field, which in this case occupies smaller area. This feature promises to provide more than 30% raise of the threshold in a 3-mode cavity. The second cavity type is axisymmetric but longitudinally asymmetric, and is excited in one mode at the fundamental frequency and the other at the second harmonic. Superposition of these modes always produces a low field on one cavity wall and a high field on the other, with the latter directed so as to prevent electron emission. This feature is also expected to raise the breakdown threshold. Computations show that a structure using such cavities might support an accelerating gradient up to 47% greater than that for a structure using similar single-mode cavities.

  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.

The transmitted energy to accelerated bunch taking into account driving bunch exit of relativism and settling them on the walls of the waveguide is determined. It is shown that accounting losses charge of generator beam increases passed accelerated bunch energy by eliminating exhaust bunches.

 
 
TUPSA010 Attosecond and Femtosecond Electron Bunches Obtainable Upon Field Emission in a Combined Quasi-static and Laser Electric Field cathode, laser, radiation, bunching 56
 
  • V. A. Papadichev
    LPI, Moscow
  Short pulses of electrons of femtosecond and attosecond duration are necessary for numerous applications: studying fast processes in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine*. It was shown that it is possible to generate electron bunches due to field emission of T/2 - T/8 duration (T is the period of laser oscillation), i.e., 400 as to 20 fs with neodymium or carbon dioxide lasers. Currents of 10 mA to 10 A can be obtained from single-spike cathode and up to 10 kA with a multi-spike cathode**. Further bunching occurs due to velocity modulation in the bunch by laser electric field resulting in 6 as for neodymium laser and 120 as for carbon dioxide laser***. Transverse focusing of such bunches is discussed. Heating of spikes for single-pulse regime is several degrees and therefore it is possible to generate a sequence of electron bunches (up to 100 – 500 pulses). They can be used in diffractometry and after acceleration to 3 – 4 MeV for generation of short pulses of VUV and soft X-ray radiation in periodic fields or as a relativistic mirror. Influence of space-charge force are studied using simple analytical solutions and methods to compensate it are proposed.

  Photocathodes are the key devices for high-quality electron bunches generation. Such bunches are needed as initial electron source in contemporary linear accelerators. In all cases there are several important parameters: fast response time, quantum efficiency, long lifetime, low thermal emittance, minimal effect on RF properties of the accelerating system. In this paper the new concept of the photocathode is proposed – hollow (absolutely transparent for the laser beam) photocathode. Such cathode geometry allows quantum efficiency rising due to surface photoelectric effect which is concerned with normal to material surface wave electric field multiplier. Usability investigation experimental results for both hollow photocathodes made of bulk materials (Nb, Cu) and by thin-film technology (CsITe and diamond-like carbon as film on copper substrate) are given. After Nb hollow photocathode irradiation by a laser beam (Lambda = 266 nm, tau pulse = 15 ns, frequency 1 Hz) a charge of 64nC was extracted. Backside irradiation radically simplifies laser beam targeting on emitting surface, accelerator equipment adjustment and allows photocathode working surface laser cleaning.

  We are considering a Two Beam Accelerator scheme for electron-positron collisions with Ion/Proton driving beam. We compare the proposed scheme and the CLIC one coming to conclusion, that Ion/Proton driving TBA scheme looks more attractive. Existences of big proton accelerators in few laboratories give a new boost to reconsider the baseline for post LHC era. These labs are FERMILAB, BNL, CERN and IHEP at Protvino, Moscow region. Protvino could emerge as one advantageous place for resurrection of proton synchrotron in existing ~20-km long tunnel. This synchrotron was planned as a booster for 2x2 TeV UNK complex.

TUPSA013 The CDS Parameters for Proton Linac with Moderate Heat Loading linac, coupling, septum, proton 65
 
  • V. V. Paramonov
    RAS/INR, Moscow
  The Cut Disk Structure (CDS) was originally proposed for high energy linac in L-band or S-band frequency range. CDS combines simultaneously high coupling coefficient, high shunt impedance and small transverse dimensions. For lower particle velocity the structure loses in shunt impedance due to relatively thick partition with internal cooling channels. For moderate heat loading internal cooling is not necessary and partition thickness is limited only by mechanical rigidity. The structure equalizes in shunt impedance with another bi-periodical structures and another CDS advantages come in front. Calculated CDS parameters for proton linac are presented.

TUPSA018 Intercation of the Biomolecular Ions with the Electron Target in the Electrostatic Storage Ring ion, target, storage-ring, resonance 80
 
  • S. G. Shirkov
    JINR, Dubna, Moscow Region
  A nanostructure of the radiation damages is formed at an interaction of decelerated protons or carbon ions with DNA molecules at hadron therapy. A local interaction of the ion beam with the bimolecular structures in the human cells is defined mainly by parameters of the ion tracks. The track core is connected with ionization properties of the charged ion, its cross-section sizes are defined by the delta-electrons. The delta-electron energy varies statistically from several eV to few keV therefore they lead to substance ionization along their trajectory on a distance several nanometers from that point where they were produced. Interaction of the delta-electrons with DNA molecules and other biological structures is one of the important mechanisms realized in process of the hadron therapy. A study of interaction of the accelerated biomolecular ions with an electronic target in electrostatic storage ring was performed for modeling of an input of the delta-electrons in processes of the hadron therapy.

  IHEP’s experts are currently working on the creation of a medical irradiation centre with beams of protons and carbon ions on the basis of an accelerating complex. Already existing accelerators I-100 - U-1,5 - U-70 are forming a complete chain capable of accelerating not only protons, but also, due to certain modifications, light deuteron and carbon nucleus. The compact autonomic Faraday cup which works in the atmospheric environment has been developed to measure currents in the accelerators beams. The device has a good electromagnetic protection. It is compact and allows to make measurements on any (from 600 mm long) open site of a beam line. Vacuum tests and work with biological samples on a beam of protons of I-100 accelerator have proved that the Faraday cup is meeting all the requirements.  
 
TUPSA028 Calibration of the Electrostatic Beam Position Monitors for VEPP-2000 vacuum, pick-up, optics, synchrotron 98
 
  • Yu. A. Rogovsky, I. Nesterenko
    BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk
  The basic requirement for the VEPP-2000 Beam Position Monitor (BPM) is the measurement of the beam orbit with 0.1 mm precision. To improve the measurement accuracy, the response of the electrostatic BPMs (pickups) were mapped in the laboratory before they were installed in the VEPP-2000 ring. The wire method for the sensitivity calibration and position-to-signal mapping is used. The test stand consists of high frequency coaxial switches to select each pickup electrode, movable antenna to simulate the beam, signal source, spectrum analyzer to measure the pickup signals, and analysis software. This calibration showed possibility of required accuracy. During calibration the electrical center of the different BPMs was measured with respect to the mechanical center. Conversion between the BPM signal and the actual beam position is done by using polynomial expansions fit to the mapping data within ±6 mm square. Results for these portions of the calibration are presented.

  The goal of the cooling system of the NICA collider is to meet the required parameters of ion beams in energy range of 1 - 4.5GeV/u that corresponds to the 0.5 - 2.5 MeV of the electron energy. The electron cooler project is developed according to the world experience of similar systems consruction. The main peculiarity of the electron cooler for the NICA collider is use of two cooling electron beams (one electron beam per each ring of the collider) that never has been done before. The acceleration and deceleration of the electron beams is produced by common high-voltage generator. The cooler consists of three tanks. Two of them contain acceleration/deceleration tubes and are immersed in superconducting solenoids. The third one contains HV generator. The scheme of the electron cooler, its main parameters and operation regime are presented.

  Multiturn energy recovery linacs (ERL) looks very promising for making ERLs less expensive and more flexible, but have serious intrinsic problems. At this time only one multiturn ERL exists. This Novosibirsk ERL operates with two orbits and two free electron lasers now. The Novosibirsk terahertz radiation user facility provides 0.5 kW average power at 50 - 240 micron wavelength range. Different users work at six stations. Two another orbits and third free electron laser are under construction. The operation experience revealed specific problems of ERLs(especially, of multiturn ones). Some solutions were proposed recently.

  Kurchatov Synchrotron Radiation Source (KSRS) operates in the range of SR from VUV up to hard X-ray. Technical modernization of KSRS systems is under way. It includes a replacement of the power supplies and the nano- and micro-second generators by the new ones, the installation of the new third RF accelerator cavity on 2.5 GeV storage ring SIBERIA-2. The projects of the feedback system for the longitudinal coherent multi-bunch instabilities dumping and of the new sensitive electronics for pick-up stations on Siberia-2 storage ring start in 2010. Three 7.5 T wiggler beam lines were mounted and tested with SR beam in December 2009. The 7.5 T (19+2) poles SC wiggler and new 3 RF cavities are doing the KSRS spectrum harder and intensive. The program tools for KSRS operation are introduced in accelerator control system with a new electronics. The new scheme of top-up energy injection placed outside of Siberia-2 storage ring tunnel is carried out. The report describes a statistics works and plans on KSRS facilities.

  At present synchrotron radiation, generated in uniform magnetic fields of bending magnets, is employed at Siberia-2 storage ring. In the near future most of the storage ring’s straight sections should be completed with different insertion devices (undulators, wigglers). In this paper, two projects of radiation sources at Siberia-2 storage ring are considered. The first one is in-vacuum short period mini-undulator, which is projected for generation of extremely bright X-ray beams. It is shown the feasibility of diffraction-limited in vertical direction X-ray source, which is to say that vertical emittance of the electron beam is equal to diffraction emittance of generated by undulator 2 KeV photon beam. The second source will utilize edge radiation, which is generated in the fringe fields of the bending magnets. Numerical simulations show that the edge radiation is more intensive in infrared – ultraviolet spectral range as compared with standard synchrotron radiation from regular part of bending magnet.

  Electrostatic storage rings have proven to be invaluable tools for atomic and molecular physics at the ultra-low energy range from 1 to 100 keV/A. Due to the mass independence of the electrostastic rigidity, these machines are able to store a wide range of different particles, from light ions to heavy singly charged bio-molecules. Reaction Microscope incorporated into a ring lattice is considered to be a new powerful tool to study high precision effects by multiple crossing of incident beam of ions with ultrasonic gas jet. To enable operation of Reaction Microscope one should provide very short bunches in the 1-2 nanosecond regime in order to pave the way for kinematically complete measurements of the collision dynamics of fundamental few-body quantum systems on the level of differential cross sections. However, earlier measurements at some rings showed strong limitations depending on beam intensity, probably linked to non-linear fields that cannot be completely avoided in such machines. In this contribution, we discuss common features of electrostatic storage rings and analyse rings performance.

  The self-stimulated undulator radiation (UR) source is based on a quasi-isochronous storage ring, undulators installed in its straight sections and mirrors installed at both sides of undulators*. Mirrors set an optical cavity. Period of oscillation of the UR wavelet (URW) emitted by every particle of the beam in the cavity coincides with common period of revolution of particles in storage ring. The URWs are accumulated in optical cavity by superposition one by another with the accuracy better than the wavelength of the UR. Intensity, which becomes higher by Q times, where Q is the quality factor of optical cavity. If conditions of synchronicity are violated weakly then properties of UR might be different: intensity will drop, monochromaticity will be increased. The selfstimulation of the spontaneous incoherent emission of radiation in the scheme can lead to an increase the seeding process for the SASE regime. The requirements to parameters of the beam and the degree of synchronicity are evaluated. Ordinary and compact storage rings using ordinary and laser undulators and generation of continuous, quasi-monochromatic radiation in the optical to X-ray regions are considered.

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-Green’s 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.

  The electron beam parameters stability and its lifetime depend on the resonant excitation by RF cavities HOMs. The instability rising links with the temperature change, the sequent tune of RF cavities and the synchrotron tune change. Besides that the different intensity bunch distribution along the orbit influences strongly on the instability appearance. For the instabilities study and their identification the spectrum analyzing is used. The results of instabilities study at SR source Siberia-2 is presented in the report.

  One of the features of new injection system for Kurchatov source of synchrotron radiation is an energy doubling of electron beam in forinjector – linear accelerator. The magnetic mirror provides 180° turn of electron beam into acceleration structure of linac for twice beam energy increase. This paper describes linear and nonlinear electron beam dynamics with energy 80 MeV and large energy spread in the magnetic mirror. The theoretical first- and second order optical functions of the magnetic mirror and the results of computer simulation of electron beam trajectories taking into account large energy spread and curvature of trajectories are presented. The structure of the magnetic mirror providing the achromatic and isochronous 180° turn of electron beam with 7% energy spread is suggested. Mutual influence of “the head” and “the tail” of electron beam when colliding in a straight section spaced in between linac output and magnetic mirror on particle losses and on the longitudinal and transversal parameters are considered.

The linac structure operates with standing wave mode pulse power and without particle prebuncher. The results of comparison of electron beam parameters at the linac output with and without space charge consideration are presented. Electron beam shaping process starting from continuous beam to bunched beam on initial stage of acceleration under the action both of linac RF field and particle space charge field is considered. The main attention gives to calculate particle space charge field of the electron beam, which bring in essential contribution into beam dynamics on initial stage of shaping and accelerating electron bunches.

  A dedicated synchrotron light source SIBERIA-2 operates at 2.5 GeV with more than 100 mA electron current. An electron beam lifetime at this energy is defined now by vacuum conditions and exceeds 15 hours for 100 mA. The lifetime at injection energy 0.45 GeV is much lower – less than half an hour for typical current value 3–4 mA in singlebunch mode. An analysis of the lifetime value displayed a strong influence of Tushek effect in a presence of a horizontal aperture limitation. A dependence of the lifetime on different parameters (RF voltage, horizontal geometric and dynamic aperture, bunch current, betatron coupling value, electron energy) was analyzed. A betatron coupling regulation was recognized the easiest way to increase lifetime value at injection energy. It was done by two families of skew-quadrupole lenses. A 30–40% increasing of the lifetime was observed for different average values of a bunch current. Also a storing speed was raised because of slower decreasing of a stored current. The beam lifetime during energy ramping was also increased. It led to decreasing of current losses from 5-6% to 1.5–2% during energy rising from 0.45 GeV to 2.5 GeV.

  Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is the new accelerator complex being constructed on the JINR site. A few cooling systems are considered for the NICA project – electron one for the Booster-synchrotron and for Collider rings – both electron and stochastic ones. The main goal of the Booster electron cooler is a decrease of the longitudinal emittance from the injection value to the necessary value for acceleration to Nuclotron. The designed electron cooling system for Collider rings have to prevent the emittance growth due to the intrabeam scattering and to keep the average luminosity on the constant value. The peculiarity of electron cooling systems is the using of superconducting solenoids to provide the beam transportation in cooling sections.

  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.

  Power supplies which feed magnetic systems of electron linac together with the control system are very critical parts of any linac. The quality of power supplies and control software defines safety of the accelerator operation, stability and cost of operation. One of the today’s 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.

  • V. G. Kurakin

  Energy recovery technique in rf accelerator based applications allows to save rf power and reduce radioactive background as well. In this operation mode used beam is directed back to the accelerator in decelerating rf phase and returns back its kinetic energy to rf field. Thus, rf generator that feeds linac covers cavities walls rf losses only and those part of beam kinetic energy that is used for useful effects production as well. Vector sum of three fields – induced in the linac by an external rf source, accelerated and decelerated beams – determines energy and phase of the beam at linac exit, and together with beam return path optics amplitude and phase of decelerated bunches and hence third component of mentioned sum. In the case of positive sign of this feedback and sufficient amplification in the closed loop just described instability takes place. The main equations that determine beam-rf cavity interaction in energy recovery rf accelerator are derived, single mode approximation being used. Expressions for small deviation from steady state are obtained followed by stability analysis. Results of calculation for increments of instability presented and discussed.

  The paper presents the results of investigations on the electron beam formation in the magnetron guns with secondary-emission cathodes using the magnetic system based on annular permanent magnets. The magnetic system, made of NdFeB material, has 10 cm in length, external diameter of 80 mm, internal diameter of 60 mm and longitudinal magnetic field amplitude of 800 Oe. Experiments were carried out using the magnetron guns having cathodes with diameters from 6mm to 16 mm, 75 mm in length, and an anode of 56 mm in diameter. The cathode voltage was 15…25 kV. The experimental results have demonstrated that the magnetron guns with cathodes having 6mm, 10mm and 16 mm in diameter can form tubular electron beams. Under the cathode voltage of 18 kV the electron beam current is ~3.5…5 А. The beam current dependence on the voltage obeys to the "3/2" law. As the cathode voltage was increased to 22 kV, the beam current bunch generation and anode current of ~1.0 mks were observed. As a result of investigations a compact magnetron gun with a secondary-emission cathode and a magnetic system on the base of annular permanent magnets was constructed.

  The creation and subsequent service of modern electron linear accelerators at the NSC KIPT have brought evidence for possible successful introduction of radiotechnology processes using electron irradiation. A further extension and complication of physical problems solvable on the basis of radiotechnologies have put forward new and increased requirements for the systems of beam scanning, extraction and formation on the targets and extended irradiated objects. The results of applying our methods developed for prompt measurement of the kinetic energy of the scanned electron beam are presented. For measurement and continuous control of the electron energy the hodoscope magnetic spectrometer technique has been used. The spectrometer includes only one deflecting magnet and has no magnetic focusing. If the real field topography in the magnet is known in detail, then using the input and output coordinates of deflected particles it is possible to determine their energy, and also the chromaticity of electron beam. The step-pulse scanning of the beam is realized through the use of an air-core short-pulse electromagnet. Development and tests of separate units of the device are under way

The operating conditions were the following: electron energy from 7 to 80 keV, pulse duration of 15 μs, pulse frequency of 2 Hz. for two modes of the energy density on the samples, namely, 10 J/сm2 and 20 J/сm2. The experiments have demonstrated that the irradiation leads to the noticeable smoothing of the specimen surface roughness, the surface becomes smoother and unruffled. The results of investigations on the microhardness of irradiated and unirradiated areas of the zirconium specimen surface areas show that the microhardness value has been increased by ~20% of the initial value (1920 MPa) for the irradiation energy density of 10 J/cm2 and by ~35% for 20 J/cm2, that can be related with a different quantity of an transferred energy of the irradiated surface. By choosing the optimum electron irradiation characteristics this technique may be recommended for hardening and modification of the near-surface layer of zirconium materials applied in the nuclear-power engineering.

  A compact medical accelerator of new generation "ELLUS-6M" has been designed and manufactured for radiotherapy by 6MeV photons in the multi-static and arc modes. 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.

  A new high power (up to 100 kW) industrial linear electron accelerator ILU-14 for energy of 7.5–10 MeV is under construction at Budker INP. The accelerator operates at 176 MHz with total efficiency of 26 %, its modular structure allows the electron energy and beam current to be varied within certain limits by changing the modular arrangement. The 5 MeV prototype of the accelerator was created and successfully tested in 2009. The designed average beam current of 600 mA with pulsed power of 2.5 MW and accelerating structure electron efficiency of 68 % were obtained during experiments. Applying an additional RF voltage to the electron gun cathode-grid gap allowed a beam current passing of 96 % with minor beam energy spread. The paper presents results of the numerical and experimental study of the accelerator systems together with the latest tests on the accelerator prototype.
