  Beam Position Monitors (BPM) are one of the key diagnostics use in LINACs, BPMs should ensure a continuous monitoring of the beam position and energy. BPMs also give an indication of the beam transverse shape. For electron LINACs, beam longitudinal length is measured with BPMs. However, in hadron LINACs, it is performed with intrusive modules (wire scanners, beam shape monitors) This document relates the measurement of beam longitudinal length with BPMs. It is divided in two parts: first, a theoretical model of the BPM operation and the formulas driving the measurement of beam longitudinal length from BPM output signals. Second, an experimental study run at MYRRHA LINAC facility and showing good agreement between estimated values of beam longitudinal length from Tracewin simulations and BPM measurements.

We present an overview of the diagnostics screens stations - named SSTs - of the ThomX compact Compton source. ThomX is a compact light source based on Compton backscattering. It features a linac and a storage ring in which the electrons have an energy of 50 MeV. Each SST is composed of three screens, a YAG:Ce screen and an Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) screen for transverse measurements and a calibration target for magnification and resolution characterisation. The optical system is based on commercial lenses that have been reverse-engineered. An Arduino is used to control both the aperture and the focus remotely, while the magnification must be modified using an external motor. We report on the overall performance of the station as measured during the first steps of beam commissioning and on the optical system remote operations.

  Characterization of the longitudinal phase space (LPS) of the electron beam after the FEL process is important for its study and tuning. At the European XFEL, a single plate corrugated structure was installed after the SASE2 undulator to measure the LPS of the electron beam. The beam passing near the plate’s corrugations creates wakefields, which induce a correlation between time and the transverse distribution of the beam. The longitudinal phase space of the beam is then analyzed on a scintillating screen monitor placed in the dispersion section. In this paper, we present the result of commissioning the corrugated structure and the first LPS measurement.

  In the framework of the compact STorage ring for Accelerator Research and Technology (cSTART) project, which will be realized at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), a Very Large Acceptance compact Storage Ring (VLA-cSR) is planned to study the injection and the storage of 50 MeV, ultra-short (sub-ps) electron bunches from a laser plasma accelerator (LPA) and the linac-based test facility FLUTE. For such a storage ring, where a single bunch with a relatively wide range of bunch charge (1 pC - 1000 pC ) and energy spread (10’4 - 10’2) will circulate at a relatively high revolution frequency (7 MHz), the choice of beam diagnostics is very delicate. In this paper, we would like to discuss several beam diagnostics options for the storage ring and to briefly report on several tests that have been or are planned to be realized in our existing facilities.

  In the booster synchrotron of the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA), the beam is injected from the microtron at 53 MeV and ramped up to 500 MeV. Though the injected beam current from the microtron to the booster seems good, the injection efficiency into the booster is currently low due to various effects. Consequently, an upgrade of the whole beam diagnostics system is taking place in the booster, in order to improve the injection efficiency through understanding the loss mechanisms and the behavior of bunches. Among these diagnostics tools are beam loss monitors, a transverse profile monitor and a longitudinal profile monitor. In this paper, we will describe the setups used for bunch profile measurements in both transverse and longitudinal planes and report on first data analysis results.

For the new Mainz Energy recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA) a wide range of beam currents is going to be used during machine optimization and for the physics experiments. To be able to monitor beam parameters like beam current, phases and beam positions several different kinds of beam instrumentation is foreseen. Some components have already been tested at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) and others have been used at the MELBA test accelerator. In this paper we will present the current status of the instrumentation.

  Cherenkov diffraction radiation (ChDR) has been paid attention to non-beam-destructive diagnostics in these years. However, the physical understanding of ChDR is not well satisfied yet because of precise experimental observation is not much easier than one expects. Although we do not deny the Cherenkov radiation and ChDR are fully explained by the classical electromagnetics, we encounter a couple of difficulties in actual applications. For instance, the theory is usually established for the far-field observation, in spite of that the radiation is often observed near-field in the realistic beam diagnostic tools employing photon measurements. In addition, the theory, as a matter of course, includes some assumptions which is sometimes not valid for the specific experiments. We have carried out experiments for observation of coherent ChDR in THz frequency region by a using 100 femtosecond electron beam supplied by the t-ACTS accelerator at Tohoku University. In a flame work of this study an FDTD simulation in the large space has been developed as well. In this presentation, we will show the experimental results comparing with both the theory and the simulation.

  Recently, we conducted successful studies on the suitability of machine learning (ML) methods for optics measurements and corrections, incorporating novel ML-based methods for local optics corrections and reconstruction of optics functions. After performing extensive verifications on simulations and past measurement data, the newly developed techniques became operational in the LHC commissioning 2022. We present the experimental results obtained with the ML-based methods and discuss future improvements. Besides, we also report on improving the Beam Position Monitor (BPM) diagnostics with the help of the anomaly detection technique capable to identify malfunctioning BPMs along with their possible fault causes.

Gas jet-based non-invasive beam profile monitors, such as those developed for the high luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade, require accurate, high resolution methods to characterise the supersonic gas jet density profile. This paper proposes a modified Nomarski interferometer to non-invasively study the behaviour of these jets, with nozzle diameters of 1 mm or less in diameter. It discusses the initial design and results, alongside plans for future improvements. Developing systems such as this which can image on such a small scale allows for improved monitoring of supersonic gas jets used in several areas of accelerator science, thus allowing for improvements in the accuracy of experiments they are utilised in.

The gas jet beam profile monitor is a non-invasive beam monitor that is currently being commissioned at Cockcroft Institute. It utilises a supersonic gas curtain which transverses the beam at an angle of 45 degrees and measures beam-induced ionisation interactions of the gas to produce a 2D transverse beam profile image. This paper builds upon previously used single-slit skimmers and improves their ability to form the gas jet into a desired distribution for imaging beam halo. A skimmer device removes off-momentum gas particles and forms the jet into a dense thin curtain, suitable for transverse imaging of the beam. The use of a novel double-slit skimmer is shown to provide a mask-like void of gas over the beam core, increasing the relative intensity of the halo interactions for measurement. Such a non-invasive monitor would be beneficial to storage rings by providing real time beam characteristic measurements without affecting the beam. More specifically, beam halo behaviour is a key characteristic associated with beam losses within storage rings.

Betatron radiation that arises during plasma wakefield acceleration can be measured by a UCLA-built Compton spectrometer, which records the energy and angular position of incoming photons. Because information about the properties of the beam is encoded in the betatron radiation, measurements of the radiation can be used to reconstruct beam parameters. One method of extracting information about beam parameters from measurements of radiation is maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), a statistical technique which is used to determine unknown parameters from a distribution of observed data. In addition, machine learning methods, which are increasingly being implemented for different fields of beam diagnostics, can also be applied. We assess the ability of both MLE and other machine learning methods to accurately extract beam parameters from measurements.

When intense particle beam propagates in dense plasma or gas, ionization can yield valuable information on the drive beam properties. Impact ionization and tunnel ionization are the two ionization regimes that must be accounted for varying beam properties. Due to these ionization mechanisms, new plasma electrons are generated causing different instabilities, dependent on the dominant ionization process considered. In order to accomplish the ambitious experimental goals of sophisticated beam diagnostics using ionization imaging, careful studies on the different ionization regimes, and the cross-over periods, required. Here we will discuss the impact ionization using fully parallel PIC code OSIRIS. We focus on understanding the gas sheet ionization diagnostics for characterizing high intensity charged particle beams. We study the interaction of neutral gas with an electron beam and varying density. We will also investigate the principle of detecting photon emission, rather than direct primary ion imaging, from the ionization induced in the interaction between the gas jet and charged particle beams.

Next generation particle accelerators craft increasingly high brightness beams to achieve physics goals for applications ranging from colliders to free electron lasers to studies of nonperturbative QED. Such rigorous requirements on total charge and shape introduce diagnostic challenges for effectively measuring bunch parameters prior to or at interaction points. We report on the simulation and training of a non-destructive beam diagnostic capable of characterizing high intensity charged particle beams. The diagnostic consists of a tailored neutral gas curtain, electrostatic microscope, and high sensitivity camera. An incident electron beam ionizes the gas curtain, while the electrostatic microscope transports generated ions to an imaging screen. Simulations of the ionization and transport process are performed using the Warp code. Then, a neural network is trained to provide accurate estimates of the initial electron beam parameters. We present initial results for a range of beam and gas curtain parameters and comment on extensibility to other beam intensity regimes.

In particle accelerators, beam position monitors (BPMs) are used extensively as a non-intercepting diagnostic. Significant information about beam dynamics can often be extracted from BPM measurements and used to actively tune the accelerator. However, common measurement tools, such as measurements of kicked beams, may become more difficult when very strong nonlinearities are present or when data is very noisy. In this work, we examine the use of variational autoencoders (VAEs) as a technique to extract measurements of the beam from simulated turn-by-turn BPM data. In particular, we show that VAEs may have the possibility to outperform other dimensionality reduction techniques that have historically been used to analyze such data. When the data collection period is limited, or the data is noisy, VAEs may offer significant advantages.

The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator group (AWA) has been using high Charge bunch-trains (>450 nC) for structure wakefield RF power generation and high power testing (100 s of MW) for many years. These experiments involve fast beam-tuning for high charge transmission through small aperture wakefield structures over a large range of charge levels. The success of these experiments depends on real-time, non-destructive, fast charge measurements with devices that are robust in the high-charge and high-powered RF environment. AWA uses Bergoz Integrating Charge Transformers (ICT) which are ideal for these critical charge measurements. The devices used, the method developed and its application are detailed.

A physics-informed generative convolutional neural network (CNN)-based 6D phase space diagnostic is presented which generates all 15 unique 2D projections (x,y), (x,y’),…, (z,E) of a charged particle beam’s 6D phase space (x,y,z,x’,y’,E)*. The CNN is trained by supervised learning over a wide range of input beam distributions, accelerator parameters, and the associated 6D beam phase spaces at multiple accelerator locations. The CNN is applied in an un-supervised adaptive manner without knowledge of the input beam distribution or accelerator parameters and is robust to their unknown time variation. Adaptive feedback automatically tunes the low-dimensional latent space of the encoder-decoder CNN to predict the 6D phase space based only on 2D (z,E) longitudinal phase space measurements from a device such as a transverse deflecting RF cavity (TCAV). This method has the potential to provide diagnostics beyond the existing state of the art at many accelerator facilities. Studies are presented for two very different accelerators: the 5-meter-long ultra-fast electron diffraction (UED) HiRES compact accelerator at LBNL and the kilometer long plasma wakefield accelerator FACET-II at SLAC.

  A high-level software BOLINA (Beam Orbit for LINear Accelerators) has been designed to fully characterise and automatically correct the ion beams trajectory, to help operators during the beam transport with an easily scalable suite for LINACs. Currently, the high-level software, interfaced with an EPICS control system, automatically manages accelerator devices to preserve the beam quality, including beam-based alignment and, if needed, dispersion-free steering software. The suite has been developed to satisfy and commutate the software easily on different machine, using interceptive /not interceptive diagnostics. The software was designed for ELI-np and now is under test at Legnaro National Laboratories of INFN using the installed accelerators complex. In particular, BOLINA has been successfully tested on the Adige Injector 1+ beamline of the SPES Project where the system response matrix is measured on interceptive beam diagnostic by varying both electrostatic and magnetic steerers. This paper describes results and strategies to reduce trajectory residuals close to the diagnostic resolutions and their effectiveness to prepare the commissioning of LINACs.

Real-time beam descriptive data such as emittance, envelope and loss, are central to accelerator operations, including online diagnostics, maintenance and beam quality control. However, these cannot always be obtained without disrupting user runs. Physics-based simulations, such as particle tracking codes, can be leveraged to provide estimates of these beam descriptors. However, such simulation-based methods are computationally intensive requiring access to high performance computing facilities, and hence, they are often non-realistic for real-time purposes. The proposed work explores the feasibility of using machine learning to replace these simulations with fast-executing inference models based on surrogate modelling. The approach is intended to provide the operators with estimates of key beam properties in real time. Bayesian optimisation is used to generate a synthetic dataset to ensure the input space is efficiently sampled and representative of operating conditions. This is used to train a surrogate model to predict beam envelope, emittance and loss. The methodology is applied to the ISIS MEBT as a case study to evaluate the performance of the surrogate model.

The HiRES beamline at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (USA) is a state-of-the-art compact accelerator providing ultrafast relativistic electron pulses at MHz repetition rates, for applications in ultrafast science and for particle accelerator science and technology R&D. Using HiRES as testbed, we seek to apply recent developments in machine learning and computational techniques for machine-learning-based adaptive control, and eventually, a full control system based on global feedback. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate the benefits of such a suite of controls to UED, including increased temporal and spatial resolution. Concrete steps toward these goals are presented, including automatic, model-independent tuning for accelerators, and energy virtual diagnostics with direct application to improving UED temporal resolution.

  PolFEL - Polish Free Electron Laser will be driven by a continuous wave superconducting accelerator consist-ing of low emittance superconducting RF electron gun, four accelerating cryomodules, bunch compressors, beam optics components and diagnostic elements. The acceler-ator will split in three branches leading to undulators pro-ducing VUV, IR and THz radiation, respectively. Two accelerating cryomodules will be installed before a dogleg directing electron bunches towards IR and THz branches. Additional two cryomodules will be placed in the VUV branch accelerating electron bunches up to 185 MeV at 50 kHz repetition rate. Moreover, the electron beam after passing the VUV undulator will be directed to the Inverse Compton Scattering process for high energy photons experiments in a dedicated station. In order to measure and optimise the electron beam parameters along the entire accelerator the main diagnostics components like BPMs, charge monitors, YAG screens, coherent diffrac-tion radiation (CDR) monitors and beam loss monitors are foreseen. Within this presentation the concept of the electron beam diagnostics will be discussed.

The Low Emittance Injector (LEI) is a recent addition to the LCLS-II High Energy (LCLS-II-HE) Project under design at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. It will provide a second beam source capable of producing a low emittance electron beam that increases the XFEL photon energy reach to 20 keV. The LEI will include an SRF electron gun, a buncher system, a 1.3 GHz cryomodule, and a beam transport system with a connection to the LCLS-II beamline and a stand-alone diagnostic line. The LEI transport beamlines and diagnostic are discussed.

  High Current Injector (HCI) is an upcoming heavy ion accelerator facility at Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi, INDIA and it will serve as an alternate injector to the existing Superconducting Linear Accelerator. HCI is designed to achieve the maximum energy gain of 1.8 MeV/u for the ions, including the Noble gasses and metallic ions, having A/q less than equal to 6. It consists of an 18 GHz High Temperature Superconducting Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source, Multi-harmonic Buncher, Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), Spiral Buncher and six interdigital H-mode Drift Tube Linac (IH-DTL) cavities operating at 97 MHz resonant frequency. The RFQ accelerates the ions from 8 keV/u to 180 keV/u energy and the six DTL cavities are used to achieve the maximum energy gain of 1.8 MeV/u. Recently, the bunched beam of N5+ was successfully accelerated through RFQ and six IH-DTL cavities and we achieved the designed energy, which is an important milestone of this project. These results validate the design parameters of all RF cavities, accelerating to achieve the designed energy goal of 1.8 MeV/u. Here, present status and future plans of the project shall be presented.

  Novel plasma-based accelerators, as well as advanced, high-gradient beam-manipulation techniques’for example passive or active plasma lenses’require reliable and well-characterized plasma sources, each optimized for their individual task. A very efficient and proven way of producing plasmas for these applications is by directly discharging an electrical current through a confined gas volume. To host the development of such discharge-based plasma sources for advanced accelerators, the ATHENA Discharge deVelopment ANd Characterization Experiment (ADVANCE) laboratory has been established at DESY. In this contribution we introduce the laboratory, give a summary of available infrastructure and diagnostics, as well as a brief overview of current and planned scientific goals.

  Various Gabor-Lenses (GL) were investigated at Goethe University. Confinement of sufficient electron densities (ne~1E15m3) were reached without any external source of electrons. Focusing of ion beams by low energy was demonstrated, long term stability and reproducibility were approved. Main differences compared to experiments and investigations of the pure non-neutral in Penning-Malmberg traps are higher residual gas pressure and therefore higher collision rates, higher bulk temperatures, self-sustaining electron production process, much higher evaporation cooling rate. GL2000 is a new 2m long device and was mainly designed for focusing of ion beams in energy ranges up to GeV but also for investigation of non-neutral plasma parameters. The confined electron column is much longer compared to previous constructed Lenses. This makes ion and hadron beam focussing much more efficient, in addition new physical phenomena can be expected and investigated. Simulation results of steady- and thermal equilibrium states with various external parameters and first measurements will be presented. The first operational tests show that it is possible to confine a two-meter long electron column.

  In recent years the potential of using Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR) as a tool for non-invasive beam diagnostics has been thoroughly investigated. Although several theoretical models of ChDR have been developed, differences in their assumptions result in inconsistent predictions. The experimental verification is therefore needed in order to fully understand ranges of validity of available models. In this contribution we present a detailed theoretical study of the radiation yield as a function of the beam-radiator distance. Following identification of beam parameters and frequency range for which differences between the model predictions are most prominent, we compare theoretical estimates with the results of a dedicated experiment.

  The DAΦNE LINAC could produce bunches of electrons and positrons for the Beam Test Facility. The BTF is used usually for single particle test of detectors but is able to receive up to 1010 particles per second for irradiation test. The DAΦNE LINAC working point could be deeply changed to obtain low energy beam up to 160 MeV with a primary electron beam with enough pulse charge that fulfills irradiation test requirements. A current monitor was installed in the BTF to provide the particle charge per bunch at the users and a flag with the image acquisition system is in operation too, in order to provide a more precise characterization of the beam delivered for the experiments. In this paper the current status and activities of the BTF facility are described.

Two sets of thermal transition modules as a key component for the COLDDIAG (cold vacuum chamber for beam heat load diagnostics) refurbishment were manufactured, based on the previous design study. The modules are installed in the existing COLDDIAG cryostat and tested with an operating temperature of approximately 50 K at both a cold bore and a thermal shield. This cool-down experiment is a preliminary investigation aiming at beam heat-load studies at the FCC-hh where the beam screens will be operated at almost the same temperature. In this contribution, we report the fabrication processes of the mechanically robust transition modules and the first thermal measurement results with the refurbished COLDDIAG in a cryogenic environment. The static heat load in the refurbished cryostat remains unchanged, compared to that in the former one (4-K cold bore and 50-K shield with thin transitions), despite the increase in the transition thickness. It originates from the identical temperature at the cold bore and the shield, which can theoretically allow the heat intakes by thermal conduction and radiation between them to vanish.

IFMIF-DONES plant (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility ’ DEMO Oriented Neutron Source) will be an installation located in the south of Spain at Granada. Its objective is the fusion material testing by the generation of a neutron flux with a broad energy distribution covering the typical neutron spectrum of a (D-T) fusion reactor. This is achieved by the Li(d, xn) nuclear reactions occurring in a liquid lithium target where a 40 MeV at 125 mA deuteron beam with a variable rectangular beam footprint between 100mm x 50mm and 200mm x 50mm collides. The accelerator system is in charge of providing such high energy deuterons in order to produce the required neutron flux. The High Energy Beam Transport line is the last subsystem of the IFMIF-DONES accelerator and its main functions are to guide the deuteron beam towards the liquid lithium target and to shape it with the required rectangular reference beam footprint. The present work details the status of the HEBT engineering design, including beam dynamics, vacuum configuration, radioprotection, beam diagnostics devices and remote handling analyses performed detailing the layout and integration.

THPOST038 On-Site Transport and Handling Tests of Cryomodules for the European Spallation Source cryomodule, cavity, site, SRF 2527
 
  • F. Schlander, A. Bignami, N. Gazis
    ESS, Lund, Sweden
 
  The cryomodules for the superconducting Linac of the European Spallation Source ’ ESS are now arriving in a steady stream and the long-distance transport requirements are well understood. For the on-site transportation, handling and storage, several challenges have risen, including the intermediate storage of cryomodules before testing and/or installation. In comparison to the long-distance transports, the cryomodule on-site transports and respective handling until installation take place with specialised and limited transport protection. This requires additional measures and tests of those handling steps with extended diagnostics, to make sure that handling and transport refrains from damages on the last mile. Those handling procedures and executed tests will be described in this contribution.

  The CLARA facility at Daresbury Laboratory was orig-inally designed for the study of novel FEL physics utilis-ing high-quality electron bunches at up to 250 MeV/c. To maximise the exploitation of the accelerator complex, a dedicated full energy beam exploitation (FEBE) beam-line has been designed and is currently being installed in a separate vault on the CLARA accelerator. FEBE will allow the use of high charge (up to 250 pC), moderate energy (up to 250 MeV), electron bunches for a wide variety of accelerator applications critical to ongoing accelerator development in the UK and international communities. The facility consists of a shielded enclo-sure, accessible during beam running in CLARA, with two very large experimental chambers compatible with a wide range of experimental proposals. High-power laser beams (up to 100 TW) will be available for electron-beam interactions in the first chamber, and there are concrete plans for a wide variety of advanced diagnostics (includ-ing a high-field permanent magnet spectrometer and dielectric longitudinal streaker), essential for multiple experimental paradigms, in the second chamber. FEBE will be commissioned in 2024.

  A novel non-interceptive beam current monitor prototype was successfully developed to measure the ultra-low beam currents (0.1-10 nA) with a 1 Hz measurement bandwidth at the Paul Scherrer Institute’s (PSI’s) proton radiation therapy facility, PROSCAN. The monitor resonance frequency is tuned to a harmonic of the beam pulse repetition rate, enabling a larger signal-to-noise ratio compared to those of broadband systems. Since the tuned frequency certainly differs for other facilities, such a system requires customisation. To enhance the application of the monitor to a turn-key system, a fast digitiser solution allowing (1 kHz data rate) streaming of measurements to various Control Systems is of importance as well. In this paper, we report on the industrial challenges associated, such as quality, reliability, repeatability and customisability, online monitoring, turn-key system, etc. in manufacturing a working novel prototype from a research environment. A fruitful collaboration between PSI, Bergoz Instrumentation, and Instrumentation Technologies is foreseen to make it happen, from a first-of-a-kind industrialised product to be tested in the lab, to a product line in a catalogue.

Digital tomosynthesis (DT) allows 3D imaging by using a ~30° range of projections instead of a full circle as in computed tomography (CT). Patient doses can be ~10 times lower than CT and similar to 2D radiography but diagnostic ability is significantly better than 2D radiography and can approach that of CT. Moreover, cold-cathode field emission technology allows the integration of 10s of X-ray sources into source arrays that are smaller and lighter than conventional X-ray tubes. The distributed source positions avoid the need for source movements and Adaptix Ltd has demonstrated stationary 3D imaging with this technology in dentistry, orthopaedics, veterinary medicine and non-destructive testing. In this work we present Monte Carlo simulations of an upgrade to the Adaptix technology to specifications suited for chest DT and we show computer aided designs for a system with various populations of these source arrays. We conclude that stationary arrays of cold-cathode X-ray sources could replace movable X-ray tubes for 3D imaging and different arrangements of many such arrays could be used to tailor the X-ray fields to different patient size and diagnostic objective.

These facilities for applied research will provide testing on capsulated microchips (ion energy range of 150-500 MeV/n) at the Irradiation Setup for Components of Radioelectronic Apparatus (ISCRA) and space radiobiological research (ion energy range 400-1100 MeV/n) at the Setup for Investigation of Medical Biological Objects (SIMBO). In this note, the technical details of SIMBO and ISCRA stations and their beamlines are described and discussed.
