| PST00 | E-Cloud Effects on Single-Bunch Dynamics in the Proposed PS2 | 79 |
|
||
| One of the options considered for a future aupgrade of the LHC injection complex entails the replacement of PS with PS2, a larger circumference and higher-energy synchrotron. Electron cloud has been identified as a potential limitation to the machine performance. We review studies of e-cloud build-up and present recent results of simulations of short-term e-cloud effects on the single-bunch dynamics in the smooth-lattice, quasi-static approximation, as implemented in the code Warp. | ||
| PST01 | Implementation and Operation of Electron Cloud Diagnostics for CesrTA | 83 |
|
||
| The vacuum system of Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) was successfully reconfigured to support CesrTA physics programs, including electron cloud (EC) build-up and suppression studies. One of key features of the reconfigured CESR vacuum system is the flexibility for exchange of various vacuum chambers with minimized impact to the accelerator operations. This is achieved by creation of three short gate-valve isolated vacuum sections. Over the last three years, many vacuum chambers with various EC diagnostics (such as RFAs, shielded pickups, etc) were rotated through these short experimental sections. With these instrumented test chambers, EC build-up was studied in many magnetic field types, including dipoles, quadrupoles, wigglers and field-free drifts. EC suppression techniques by coating (TiN, NEG and a-C), surface textures (grooves) and clearing electrode are incorporated in these test chambers to evaluate their effectiveness. We present the implementation and operations of EC diagnostics. | ||
| PST02 | Bunch-By-Bunch Instrumentation Upgrades For CESR, Based On Requirements For The CESR Test Accelerator Research Program | 88 |
|
||
| The research focus of the CESR Test Accelerator program requires new instrumentation hardware, software and techniques in order to accurately investigate beam dynamics in the presence of electron cloud effects. These new instruments are also required to develop low emittance beam conditions which are key to the success of the damping ring design for the International Linear Collider. This poster will detail some of the architecture and tools which have been developed to support these efforts. Emphasis will be placed on the 4 nS bunch by bunch Beam Position Monitoring system as well as the 4 nS capable X-ray Beam Size Monitor. | ||
| PST03 | Methods for Quantitative Interpretation of Retarding Field Analyzer Data | 91 |
|
||
| A great deal of Retarding Field Analyzer (RFA) data has been taken as part of the CesrTA program at Cornell. Obtaining a quantitative understanding of this data requires use of cloud simulation programs, as well as a detailed model of the RFA itself. In some cases the RFA can be modeled by postprocessing the output of a simulation codes, and one can obtain “best fit” values for important simulation parameters using a systematic method to improve agreement between data and simulation. In other cases, in particular in high magnetic field regions, the presence of the RFA can have an effect on the cloud, and one needs to include a model of the RFA in the simulation program itself. | ||
| PST04 | TE Wave Measurements at CesrTA | 95 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work is supported by the US National Science Foundation PHY-0734867, and the US Department of Energy DE-FC02-08ER41538 TE Wave measurement systems have been installed in the L0 and L3 regions of CesrTA. L0 is the location of 6 superconducting wiggler magnets; L3 has round beampipe through a chicane magnet (PEPII) and a NEG coated chamber. At both locations, rf relays are used to multiplex signals from a signal generator output, through the beampipe, and to the input of a spectrum analyzer. Software monitors can be triggered to take data on demand, or on changes in accelerator conditions such as beam current or wiggler fields. The poster will describe the TE Wave measurement technique, the installation of hardware at CesrTA and some measurement examples. It will also outline some of the problems in the interpretation of data, specifically the results of reflections and standing waves. |

| PST05 | Progress on Simulation of Beam Dynamics with Electron Cloud Effects: An update | 100 |
|
||
| In this presentation, we will report the progress made in the past few years on simulations to study the electron cloud effects on the dynamics of beams in cicular accelerators. Results associated with various acclerators such as the Fermilab Main Injector, SPS, LHC, ILC damping rings will be shown. Comparisions between the results obtained from three codes, namely Warp, HeadTail and CMad will be discussed. More recent studies done on CesrTA will be discussed in greater detail. | ||
| PST06 | Effects of Reflections on TE-Wave Measurements of Electron Cloud Density | 103 |
|
||
| The simulation code VORPAL has been used as a tool to study charecteristics of TE wave transmission in the presence of electron clouds for CesrTA. We look at how the electron cloud induced phase shift is influenced by (1) reflections of the wave, caused by possible protrusions in the beam pipe and (2)effect of nonuniformities of the cloud density distribution in the transverse plane. | ||
| PST07 | Techniques for Observing Beam Dynamical Effects Caused by the Presence of Electron Clouds | 108 |
|
||
| During the last several years CESR has been studying the effects of electron clouds on stored beams in order to understand their impact on future linear-collider damping ring designs. One of the important issues is the way that the electron cloud alters the dynamics of bunches within the train. Techniques for observing the dynamical effects of beams interacting with the electron clouds have been developed. These methods and examples of measurements are presented here. | ||
| PST08 | Synrad3D Photon Propagation and Scattering Simulation | 118 |
|
||
| As part of the Bmad software library, a program called Synrad3d has been written to track synchrotron radiation photons generated in storage rings. The purpose of the program is primarily to estimate the intensity and distribution of photon absorption sites, which are critical inputs to codes which model the growth of electron clouds. Synrad3d includes scattering from the vacuum chamber walls using X-ray data from an LBNL database. Synrad3d can handle any planar lattice and a wide variety of vacuum chamber profiles. A description of the program will be given, together with some examples of results. | ||
| PST09 | Electron Cloud Modeling Results for Time-Resolved Shielded Pickup Measurements at CesrTA | 123 |
|
||
| The Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA) program includes investigations into electron cloud buildup, applying various mitigation techniques in custom vacuum chambers. Among these are two 1.1-m-long sections located symmetrically in the east and west arc regions. These chambers are equipped with pickup detectors shielded against the direct beam-induced signal. They detect cloud electrons migrating through an 18-mm-diameter pattern of holes in the top of the chamber. A digitizing oscilloscope is used to record the signals, providing time-resolved information on cloud development. Carbon-coated, TiN-coated and uncoated aluminum chambers have been tested. Electron and positron beams of 2.1, 4.0 and 5.3 GeV with a variety of bunch populations and spacings in steps of 4 and 14 ns have been used. Here we report on results from the ECLOUD modeling code which highlight the sensitivity of these measurements to model parameters such as the photoelectron azimuthal and energy distributions at production, and the secondary yield parameters including the true secondary, rediffused, and elastic yield values. In particular, witness bunch studies exhibit high sensitivity to the elastic yield by providing information on cloud decay times. | ||
| PST10 | Using Coherent Tune Shifts to Evaluate Electron Cloud Effects on Beam Dynamics at CesrTA | 130 |
|
||
| One technique used at CesrTA for studying the effects of electron clouds on beam dynamics is to measure electron and positron bunch tunes under a wide variety of beam energies, bunch charge, and bunch train configurations. Comparing the observed tunes with the predictions of various simulation programs allows the evaluation of important parameters in the cloud formation models. These simulations will be used to predict the behavior of the electron cloud in damping rings for future linear colliders. | ||
| PST11 | CesrTA Low Emittance Tuning | 134 |
|
||
| Low emittance tuning and characterization of electron cloud phenomena are central to the CesrTA R&D program. A small vertical emittance is required in order to be sensitive to the emittance diluting effects of the electron cloud. We have developed techniques to systematically and efficiently eliminate optical and alignment errors that are the sources of vertical emittance. Beam based measurements are used to center the beam position monitors with respect to the adjacent quadrupoles, determine the relative gains of the BPM button electrodes, and measure the BPM tilts, thus allowing precision measurement of transverse coupling and vertical dispersion. Low emittance also requires that the tune plane be relatively clear of nonlinear coupling resonances associated with sextupoles. We report on tests of a sextupole distribution designed to minimize resonance driving terms. We also report on efforts to measure sextupole strengths. Our standard low emittance tuning procedure typically yields sub 20pm emittance in one or two iterations. With tuning, we achieve a vertical emittance of ?v ~15 pm at 2.1 GeV. | ||
| PST12 | In Situ SEY Measurements at CesrTA | 140 |
|
||
| Measuring secondary electron yields (SEYs) on technical surfaces in accelerator vacuum systems provides essential information for many accelerator R&D projects, such as the ILC Damping Rings, regarding to electron cloud growth and suppression. As a part of CesrTA research program, we developed and deployed SEY in-situ measurement systems. Two such SEY systems were installed to expose samples with direct and scattered synchrotron radiation (SR), and the SEYs of the samples were measured as a function of SR dosages. In this poster, we describe the in-situ SEY measurement systems and the initial results on bare aluminum and TiN-coated aluminum samples. |
