Detailed knowledge of high-dimensional phase space distributions is crucial for predicting and controlling the evolution of intense beams. Conventional beam tomography techniques require measurements under multiple beamline configurations, introducing reconstruction errors due to transport nonlinearities and model uncertainties while complicating the beamline design. This paper introduces SOFT...
The European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, is a pulsed neutron source based on a proton linac. The ESS linac is designed to deliver a 2 GeV beam with a peak current of 62.5 mA at 14 Hz to a rotating tungsten target for neutron production.
One of the most critical elements for protection of the accelerator is a beam loss monitoring (BLM) system. The system is designed to protect the...
High-intensity hadron machines host beams with destructive power, and traditional beam profile monitors, such as scintillating screens and wire scanners, suffer a short lifetime under such severe conditions. The application of the beam gas curtain monitor (BGC) in the LHC, along with 2 years of successful operation, fills the gap in such measurements in a minimally invasive manner for...
