The reaccelerator ReA is a state-of-the-art super-conducting linac for reaccelerating rare isotope beams produced via inflight fragmentation or fission and subse-quent beam stopping. ReA was subject of an upgrade that increased its final beam energy from 3 MeV/u to 6 MeV/u for ions with charge over mass equal to 1/4. The upgrade included a new room-temperature rebuncher after the first section of acceleration, a new β = 0.085 QWR cryomodule and two new beamlines in a new ex-perimental vault. During commissioning, beams were accelerated with near 100 percent transport efficiency through the linac and delivered through beam transport lines. Measured beam characteristics match those calcu-lated. Following commissioning, stable and long living rare isotope beams from a Batch Mode Ion Source (BMIS) were accelerated and delivered to experiments. This con-tribution will briefly describe the upgrade, and results from beam commissioning and beam delivery for experi-ments.

The ReA-RFQ is a four-rod room-temperature structure aimed to be the first step acceleration of rare isotopes as well as stable beams before injection into the ReA SRF linac. The beams of charge to mass ratios of 1/5 to 1/2 from the Electron Beam Ion Trap at 12 keV/u should be accelerated to at least 500 keV/u to be efficiently accelerated in the main SRF linac. Since the commissioning of the original ReA RFQ in 2010 the design voltage has never been reached, and CW operation was never achieved due to cooling issues. In 2016 a new design including trapezoidal modulation was proposed, which permitted achieving increased reliability, and would allow reaching the original required specifications. The proposed new rods were built and installed in 2019 and commissioned in the same year. Since then, the RFQ has been working very successfully. Recently it was opened for inspection and verification of its internal status. No damage and discoloration were observed. This contribution will describe the RFQ rebuild process, involving specific RF protections and other technical aspects related to the assembly of the structure. Results of the operation with a variety of beams will be presented.

  The Recycler Ring (RR) at the Fermilab Accelerator Complex performs slip-stacking on 8 GeV protons, doubling the beam intensity delivered to the Main Injector (MI). At MI, the beam is accelerated to 120 GeV and delivered to the high energy neutrino experiments. Femilab’s Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) will require the Recycler to store 50% more beam. Simulations have shown that the space charge tune shift at this new intensity will lead to the excitation of multiple resonance lines. Specifically, this study looks at normal sextupole lines 3 Qx=76 and Qx+2Qy=74, plus skew sextupole lines 3 Qy=73 and 2 Qx+Qy=75. Dedicated normal and skew sextupoles have been installed in order to compensate for these resonance lines. By measuring and calculating the Resonance Driving Terms (RDT), this study shows how each of the resonance lines can be compensated independently. Furthermore, this study shows and discusses initial investigations into compensating multiple lines simultaneously.

MOPOTK039 Iron Yoke Effects in Quadrupole Magnets for High Rigidity Isotope Beams 546

  Iron-dominated superconducting magnets are one of the most popular and most used design choices for superconducting magnetic quadrupoles for accelerator systems. While the iron yoke and pole tips are economic and effective in shaping the field, the large amount of iron also leads to certain drawbacks, namely, unwanted harmonics from the sextupole correctors nested inside of the quadrupole. Additional problems include the nonlinear field profile present in the high-field regime engendered by the presence of steel, and the mechanical and cryogenic design challenges of the entire iron yoke being part of the cold mass. The presented work discusses these effects and challenges by comparing an iron-dominated quadrupole model to an equivalent coil-dominated quadrupole model. The comparison of their respective magnetic harmonics, integrated strength, multipole effects, and mechanical challenges demonstrates that the coil-dominated design is a more favorable choice for select accelerator systems.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) project has completed technical construction in January 2022, five months ahead of schedule baselined about 10 years ago. Beam commissioning has been planned in seven phases starting from 2017 when the normal-conducting ion source and RFQ were commissioned. In April 2021, FRIB driver linac commissioning was completed with heavy ion beams being accelerated to energies above 200 MeV/u using 324 superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) resonators contained in 46 cryomodules. In preparation for high-power operations, a liquid lithium charge strip-per was used to strip uranium beam from average charge state of 33+ to 78+, and multiple charge states were accelerated simultaneously in the linac. By January 2022, FRIB target and fragment separator commissioning was completed with rare-isotope beams produced and identified. In May 2022, the first FRIB user scientific experiment was successfully conducted. This talk summarizes the FRIB accelerator project commissioning and early operations experience with discussions on strategic planning, operational envelope conformance, technical risk mitigation, and lessons learned.

  The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University produced and identified the first rare isotopes demonstrating the key performance parameter and completion of the project. An important next step toward FRIB user operation includes fast tuning of the Front End (FE) decision parameters to maintain optimal beam optics. The FE consists of the ion source, charge selection system, LEBT, RFQ, and MEBT. The strong coupling of many ion source parameters, strong space-charge effects in multi-component ion beams, and a not well-known neutralization factor in the beamline from the ion source to the charge selection system make the FE modeling difficult. In this paper, we present our first effort toward the Machine Learning (ML) application for automatic control of the beam exiting the FE.
