MC3.3 Other proton/ion
Invited Oral Presentation

Reliability is an important feature for high power particle accelerators. This is particularly true for Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS), for that every beam interruption can strongly affect the availability of the nuclear reactor.

Many of these outages come from the loss of accelerating cavities or of their associated systems. Cavity failures can be compensated for by retuning other...

MC3.3 Other proton/ion
Invited Oral Presentation

For the time being, determining the cell-to-cell periodic solution for transporting intense beams has been limited to the spatial envelope. Recently, a numerical method for provision of full 4d-periodicity of all 10 beam moments of an intense 4d-coupled beam has been developed and benchmarked with tracking simulations. For instance, it will pave the path towards exploring the potential of beam...

MC3.2 Ion linac projects
Invited Oral Presentation

Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) requires diverse primary ion species beams to produce rare isotopes. The beam tuning time can be reduced by employing Machine Learning (ML) techniques. In this presentation, we aim to explore practical perspectives on shortening beam tuning time. Specifically, we discuss customization of Bayesian Optimization for maximum beam time utilization, and virtual...

MC4.8 Superconducting RF
Invited Oral Presentation

Plasma processing is a common technique where the free oxygen produced in a low-pressure RF plasma breaks down and removes hydrocarbons from surfaces. This increases the work function and reduces the secondary emission coefficient of the treated surfaces. Jefferson Lab has an ongoing R&D program in plasma processing. The experimental program investigated processing using argon/oxygen and...

MC4.1 Beam diagnostics
Invited Oral Presentation

The FRIB diagnostics system covers an extensive range of primary and secondary beam intensities of 14 orders of magnitude and requires continuous improvements. The linac diagnostic system has provided straightforward linac commissioning and supports the development of many primary heavy ion beam species for producing rare isotopes. The diagnostics system for the secondary beam has a unique...
