MC3.1 Industrial and medical accelerators
Invited Oral Presentation

Present status and future prospects of the iBNCT accelerator will be discussed. Several accelerator-based neutron sources for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) have been developed in the world. The iBNCT (Ibaraki, BNCT) is a linac-based BNCT facility which is operated by University of Tsukuba and KEK in close collaboration with the local government, Ibaraki prefecture. The accelerator is...

MC4.1 Beam diagnostics
Invited Oral Presentation

Linear accelerators for FELs have very high requirements for the accuracy of synchronization. The long and short term stability is influenced by various sources of interference. In this paper it will be shown which methods of stabilization exist and how synchronization accuracies up to the fs-level can be achieved.

MC4.1 Beam diagnostics
Invited Oral Presentation

Time-resolved diagnostics are fundamental for x-ray free-electron lasers (FELs). Radio-frequency (RF) transverse deflector structures (TDSs) are typically employed to characterize the temporal properties of the electron beams driving FELs. In this contribution, we present time-resolved measurements with a resolution below one femtosecond using a C-band and X-band RF TDS at SwissFEL....

MC4.3 Industrial developments
Invited Oral Presentation

Cleanroom processing and assembly are critical for ensuring optimal performance of SRF (Superconducting Radio Frequency) cavities. Human activities are a significant source of particle emissions in cleanrooms, posing a risk of cavity contamination. To mitigate this risk and reduce labor costs, the implementation of robotics in cleanroom environments has garnered increasing attention in recent...

MC4.1 Beam diagnostics
Invited Oral Presentation

Machine learning (ML) tools have been growing in popularity for accelerator applications, but still struggle with time varying systems, for which they require lengthy brute-force re-training. LANL has developed generative machine learning (ML)-based tools, that utilize adaptive model independent feedback control theory together with hard physics constraints, to make the tools much more robust...

MC4.5 Other technology
Invited Oral Presentation

The International Liner Collider requires a crabbing system to increase the luminosity of the colliding electron bunches. The ILC has a large crossing angle that requires compensation in order to meet the luminosity requirements. There are several frequency options proposed for the crabbing cavity design. Two crab cavity designs were selected to be prototyped in the pre-lab phase, following...
