Particle tracking serves as a computational technique for determining the mean field of dynamically tracked charged macroparticles of a particle beam within an accelerator. Conventional solver tend to neglect collisionality, resulting in loss of relevant information (particle and momentum redistribution).

Power limitations are expected at injection energy for the main Radio Frequency (RF) system due to the doubled bunch intensity in the High Luminosity (HL-) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) era. One way to overcome these power limitations is to reduce the capture voltage. The smaller RF bucket, however, leads to increased beam losses at the start of the ramp. In practice, these beam losses, which...

Particle beams with asymmetric transverse emittances and profiles have been utilized in facilities for driving wakefields in dielectric waveguides and to drive plasma wakefields in plasma. The asymmetric plasma structures created by the beam produce focusing forces that are transversely asymmetric. We utilize the ellipticity of the plasma ion cavity to model the beam evolution of the flat beam driver.

The higher intensities of High Luminosity (HL) LHC beams are predicted to cause the ferrite yokes of the LHC injection kicker magnets (MKI), in their current configuration, to heat up to their Curie temperature. Studies to reduce the beam induced heating have been carried out over the past years and...

BBF and chromaticity can increase the maximum stored bunch current and allow the tune to cross the unstable region. As the bunch current increase,...

Ionization scattering of electron beams with residual gas molecules causes ion trapping in electron rings, both in a collider and electron cooling system. These trapped ions may cause emittance growth, tune shift, halo formation, and coherent coupled bunch instabilities. In order to clear the ions and prevent them from accumulating turn after turn, the gaps in a temporal structure of the beam...

Poster Presentation

The conditioning of room temperature cavities is an exhausting process. To prevent damage to the cavity and auxiliary equipment, this potentially long process needs constant supervision or extensive safety precautions. Additionally, the unpredictability of every new conditioning makes the development of effective classical algorithms difficult. To reduce the workload for everyone involved and...

Poster Presentation

Measurements of the transverse beam halo in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provide crucial input for the performance evaluation of the collimation configuration in the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era. Such measurements are carried out in various phases of the LHC operational cycle by scraping the beam with movable collimators. Understanding the halo population and halo formation mechanisms...

Poster Presentation

Impedance is a significant concern in modern storage rings like Diamond-II, due to instabilities limiting maximum bunch charge and other potential effects such as emittance dilution. Significant changes have been made to the Diamond-II impedance database, partly driven by progress in engineering design work, and partly by the requirements of particle tracking simulations and increase in...

Poster Presentation

This study presents a refined model of radio frequency (RF) systems by the transfer function perspective of the Pedersen model on the basis of microwave RLC circuit model. While the former concentrates on the signal variation or error analysis, focusing on the cavity-beam interaction. the latter emphasizes the signal's properties within the system, allowing for seamless integration with...

Hefei Infrared Free-Electron Laser device (IR-FEL) is a user experimental device dedicated to energy chemistry research that can generate high brightness mid/far infrared lasers. It is driven by an S-band linear accelerator with a maximum electron energy of 60 MeV. The stability of the final output laser is determined by the energy stability and spread of the electron beam, and the Low-Level...

Following the successful completion of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, since 2021 the Proton Synchrotron (PS) Booster has served the LHC injector chain with protons at an increased kinetic energy of 2 GeV. An upgrade of the ISOLDE (Isotope Separator On-Line DEvice) facility has long been considered to produce radioactive ion beams with a higher energy proton driver beam. A...

Over the last 13 years, Muons has also worked with other companies (ADNA, Niowave) and institutions (Virginia Tech, Jefferson Lab, ORNL, INL, SRNL) on accelerator-driven subcritical reactors (ADSR), to take advantage of large advances in superconducting RF (SRF) accelerators. In the last decade, SRF proton accelerators have been demonstrated to have the power and efficiency to produce...

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) has recently installed and begun commissioning of a hybrid seven-bend-achromat design to replace the original storage ring. The APS Upgrade lattice includes two types of longitudinal-gradient dipoles, five types of transverse-gradient dipoles, and five types of high-strength quadrupoles. All of these magnets were designed** using three-dimensional magnetic...

Many accelerator control rooms rely on envelope models to simulate beam dynamics because they are fast and accurate at tracking the beam core. Particle-in-Cell (PIC) models, however, can track particles inside and outside the core and, with the improvements of computers, are now fast enough to be used in control rooms. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is...

Poster Presentation

The slice model is the theoretical foundation for various beam-beam simulation methods. In the formulation of the slice model, some approximations have been made based on the assumption of particle beams with an extremely high Lorentz factor. However, this assumption might not always be valid for the particle colliders applied in the nuclear physics study because of the usage of heavy-ion...

An important upgrade programme is planned for the collimation system of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for lead–ion beams that will already reach their high-luminosity target intensity upgrade in the LHC Run 3 (2022-2025). While certain effects like e-cloud, beam-beam, impedance, inject and dump protection are relaxed with ion beams, halo collimation becomes a challenge, as the conventional...
