Funding: This work is supported by ROSATOM |
The ITEP-TWAC facility operation with proton and heavy ion beams for ~4000 hours per year in several modes of beam acceleration and accumulation is determined by present-day demands of different beam users in the frame of current machine resources. Displacement of state interests from fundamental research to strictly-practical tasks stimulates multimode operation of accelerators with trend of beam using for applications. Mastering of Ag19+ ions acceleration in the UK ring up to the energy of 100 MeV/u and Fe26+ beam stacking in the U-10 ring at the energy of >200 MeV/u in addition to routine operation with C6+ beam at energy of 200-400 MeV/u with fast and slow extraction of circulating beam clear the way to beam using for a lot of applications requiring extension of the facility experimental area. Development of laser ion source technology takes aim at high current and high charge state ions generation for elements with A ~60 to be effectively stacked in the U-10 ring with multiple charge exchange injection technique. The machine maintenance efforts and current activities aiming at both subsequent improvement of beam parameters and extending of beam applications are presented |

|
The specific features of transition radiation in a dihedral angle are considered. It is shown that the dependence of the angular distributions of radiation intensity in a dihedral angle on the energy and the direction of motion of particles are stronger than a similar dependence in the case of transition radiation on a plane interface. This fact enhances the applicability of transition radiation to measure parameters of charged particles.

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.

| WEPSB024 | An Increasing of Electron Beam Lifetime at Injection Energy in SIBERIA-2 Storage Ring by Regulating of Betatron Coupling | coupling, betatron, electron, vacuum | 218 | |||||
|
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 34 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 3040% 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 1.52% during energy rising from 0.45 GeV to 2.5 GeV.

|
Compact superconducting isochronous cyclotron C400 has been designed at IBA (Belgium) in collaboration with the JINR (Dubna). This cyclotron will be used for radiotherapy with proton, helium or carbon ions. The ions extracted from the source and transported with the axial line are bent into the median plane of the cyclotron by a spiral inflector. The optimal design of the inflector and cyclotron center for acceleration of the ion beams in the 4th RF harmonic mode was investigated. A computer model of the dee geometry with the inflector and inflector housing was created. The 3D magnetic field map and 3D electric field map were used for beam dynamics simulations. Comparison between field map created in electrostatic simulation and field map from RF simulation is given. Results of the beam tracking are presented.

| WEPSB037 | Specific Features of Automatic Control Systems for Applied Cyclotrons | cyclotron, controls, vacuum, ion | 254 | |||||
|
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.

| THCHX01 | Beam Tests of the LHC Transverse Feedback System | feedback, kicker, pick-up, damping | 275 | |||||
|
A powerful transverse feedback system ("LHC Damper") has been installed in LHC in order to stabilise the high intensity beams against coupled bunch transverse instabilities in a frequency range from 3 kHz to 20 MHz and at the same time to damp injection oscillations originating from steering errors and injection kicker ripple. The LHC Damper has been also used for exciting transverse oscillations for the purposes of abort gap cleaning and tune measurement. The LHC Damper includes 4 feedback systems on 2 circulating beams (in other words one feedback system per beam and plane). Every feedback system consists of 4 electrostatic kickers, 4 push-pull wide band power amplifiers, 8 preamplifiers, two digital processing units and 2 beam position monitors with low-level electronics. The power and low-level subsystem layout is described along with first results from the beam commissioning of 16 power amplifiers and 16 electrostatic kickers located in the LHC tunnel. Results of beam tests of the power and low-level subsystems are summarized.

| THCHA03 | A Beam Loss Scintillator System for Background Monitoring at the LHCb Experiment | background, simulation, beam-losses, monitoring | 286 | |||||
|
The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (CERN) has developed a complete high-speed and high-sensitivity background monitor based on a pair of plastic scintillators and a custom-made LHCb readout board to record fast LHC beam losses with time information. The system is installed close to the LHCb Vertex Locator and it has been operational since the LHC pilot run providing valuable information to the LHC Operations crew during beam commissioning and to LHCb Control Room about the experimental conditions at the physics runs. The system is able to record fast beam losses at a rate of 40 MHz, providing information regarding the bunch crossing of the loss, the intensity of the loss calibrated in number of Minimum Ionizing Particles. A full control and monitoring system has been developed as well within the framework of the LHCb Experimental Control System. A complete simulation of the system has been central in converting the response of the system into physical quantities. In this paper we will describe the system in its components and functionalities, the commissioning phase, the simulation framework and the first results with real beam at the LHC.

| THPSC007 | Study of Electrodynamic and Thermodynamic Mechanisms Influencing Stability of Superconducting Rutherford Cable | quadrupole, simulation, synchrotron, superconducting-magnet | 337 | |||||
|
Stability for superconducting fast-cycling dipoles and quadrupoles plays an important role. A feature of a complex network of strands and strand-to-strand contacts, current distribution in the network have to be taken into account for superconducting cables. The coupled numerical simulation of electromagnetic and thermal processes in Rutherford superconducting cables during the initiation of a quench was carried out. The network model has been combined with thermal analysis, which allows one to model quench dynamics, including the effects of a current redistribution in strands, discontinuities and inhomogeneity, the initial heating in strand, and, as a result, occasional quench recovery or runaway quench propagations. A computer simulation has been made for study of dependence of the minimum quench energy on ratio operating/critical currents for cables with and without core.

| THPSC020 | Compact Cyclotron as a Proton Source for the Detection of Explosives Based on Nuclear Resonance Absorption in Nitrogen | cyclotron, storage-ring, emittance, ion | 363 | |||||
|
In the proposed operational implementation of the Nuclear Resonance Absorption (NRA) method for explosives detection, the inspected object is scanned by a beam of 9.17 MeV gamma rays of a precise energy to determine the fraction of the beam resonantly absorbed in the nitrogen nuclei of the explosive. The 9.17 MeV gamma rays are most readily generated in the inverse reaction, in which a 1.747 MeV proton is resonantly captured by C13, followed by the emission of gamma rays from the recoiling N14 nucleus. To achieve the stringent requirements of a 1.747 MeV proton beam with an intensity of several milliampere and with as small as possible energy spread and angular divergence , a compact isochronous cyclotron with internal H-minus ion source and current of ~2mA was considered as a stand-alone source or as an injector (with a current of ~200 microA) into a storage ring.
