TUA1I2 | New Understanding of Longitudinal Beam Instabilities and Comparison with Measurements | synchrotron, coupling, damping, proton | 45 |
|
|||
Beam instabilities driven by broad- and narrowband impedance sources have been treated separately so far. In this contribution, we present the generalised beam stability analysis based on the concept of van Kampen modes. In the presence of broadband impedance, the loss of Landau damping (LLD) in the longitudinal plane can occur above a certain single-bunch intensity. For significantly higher intensities, the broad-band impedance can drive violent radial or azimuthal mode-coupling instabilities. We have shown that the synchrotron frequency spread due to RF field non-linearity, counter-intuitively, reduces the single-bunch instability threshold. We have also demonstrated that a multi-bunch instability driven by a narrow-band impedance source can be significantly affected by LLD when adding broad-band impedance. These findings are supported by macroparticle simulations and beam observations in the Super Proton Synchrotron and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. | |||

TUA1C1 | Major Longitudinal Impedance Sources in the J-PARC Main Ring | septum, cavity, operation, kicker | 53 |
|
|||
Beam intensity upgrade is ongoing at the J-PARC main ring. The beam instability is controlled by feedback systems in both longitudinal and transverse directions respectively. However, in recent years, microbunch structures have been observed during debunching, inducing electron cloud and transverse beam instability, which has become a problem. It is essential to identify the cause and take countermeasures. A summary of model and measurement comparisons will be reported for the major impedances RF-cavities, FX-septa, and FX-kickers. Of the five septa, two have been subjected to impedance reduction measures. The remaining three septa are of different types, but similar measures are planning. | |||

TUA2C2 | Recent Advances in the CERN PS Impedance Model and Instability Simulations | kicker, simulation, proton, synchrotron | 86 |
|
|||
Transverse instability growth rates in the CERN Proton Synchrotron are studied thanks to the recently updated impedance model of the machine. Using this model, macroparticle tracking simulations were performed with a new method well-suited for the slicing of short wakes, which achieves comparable performance to the originally implemented method while reducing the required number of slices by a factor of 5 to 10. Dedicated beam-based measurement campaigns were carried out to benchmark the impedance model. Until now, the model underestimated instability growth rates at injection energy. Thanks to a recent addition to the impedance model, namely the kicker magnets¿ connecting cables and their external circuits, the simulated instability growth rates are now comparable to the measured ones. | |||

TUC4I1 | A Kicker Impedance Reduction Scheme with Diode Stack and Resistor at the RCS in J-PARC | kicker, simulation, emittance, extraction | 162 |
|
|||
At the 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) within the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), kicker impedance causes beam instability. A 1-MW beam with a large emittance can be delivered to the Material and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) by suppressing beam instabilities without the need for a transverse feedback system¿simply by turning off the sextuple magnets. However, we require other high-intensity and high-quality beams with smaller emittances for the Main Ring (MR). To address this, we proposed a scheme for suppressing the kicker impedance using a diode stack and resistors, which effectively reduces beam instability. Importantly, these devices have a negligible effect on the extracted beam from the RCS. | |||

TUC4I2 | Development of an Impedance Model for the ISIS Synchrotron and Predictions for the Head-Tail Instability | kicker, simulation, synchrotron, coupling | 170 |
|
|||
ISIS is a pulsed, spallation neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. The rapid cycling synchrotron which drives the facility accelerates 3·1013 protons-per-pulse from 70 to 800 MeV at 50 Hz, and delivers a mean beam power of 0.2 MW to two target stations. Beam-loss mechanisms must be understood to optimise performance and minimise equipment activation; and to develop mitigation methods for future operations and new accelerators. Substantial beam-losses are driven by a vertical head-tail instability, which has also limited beam intensity. Beam-based impedance measurements suggest the instability is driven by a low-frequency narrowband impedance, but its physical origin remains unknown. More generally, research into the nature of the instability is hindered without a detailed transverse impedance model. This paper presents a survey of vertical impedance estimates for ISIS equipment, using analytical methods, low frequency CST simulations and lab-based coil measurements. The final impedance estimate is then used as an input to a new linearised Vlasov solver, and predicted growth rates compared with previously obtained experimental results. | |||

TUC4C1 | Beam Coupling Impedance of the Main Extraction Kickers in the CERN PS | kicker, coupling, simulation, extraction | 178 |
|
|||
In view of the High Luminosity (HL) upgrade of the LHC, the beam intensity must be doubled in the injector chain. To perform reliable beam dynamics simulations, the beam coupling impedance in the injectors, such as the Proton Synchrotron (PS), must be followed closely by including all contributing elements into the impedance model. The existing kicker magnets of the PS had been optimized for large kick strength and short rise/fall times, but not necessarily to minimise beam coupling impedance. Hence, unwanted beam induced voltage can build up in their electrical circuits, with an impact on the beam. The beam coupling impedances of the two main kicker magnets used for the fast extraction from PS, the KFA71 and KFA79, are extensively characterized in this study. In particular, electromagnetic simulation results for the longitudinal and transverse coupling impedance are shown. The critical impedance contributions are identified, and their effect on beam stability is discussed. Moreover, the impact of the cable terminations on the electromagnetic field pattern and possible mitigation techniques are presented, providing a complete impedance evaluation of the entire kicker installation. | |||

TUC4C2 | Mitigating Collimation Impedance and Improving Halo Cleaning with New Optics and Settings Strategy of the HL-LHC Betatron Collimation System | optics, collimation, simulation, experiment | 183 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the HL-LHC project With High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) beam intensities, there are concerns that the beam losses in the dispersion suppressors around the betatron cleaning insertion might exceed the quench limits. Furthermore, to maximize the beam lifetime it is important to reduce the impedance as much as possible. The collimators constitute one of the main sources of impedance in HL-LHC, given the need to operate with small collimator gaps. To improve this, a new optics was developed which increases the beta function in the collimation area, as well as the single pass dispersion from the primary collimators to the downstream shower absorbers. Other possible improvements from orbit bumps, to further enhance the locally generated dispersion, and from asymmetric collimator settings were also studied. The new solutions were partially tested with 6.8 TeV beams at the LHC in a dedicated machine experiment in 2022. In this paper, the new performance is reviewed and prospects for future operational deployment are discussed. |

WEA1C1 | Bunch-by-bunch Tune Shift Studies for LHC-type Beams in the CERN SPS | simulation, injection, wakefield, operation | 194 |
|
|||
After the implementation of major upgrades as part of the LHC Injector Upgrade Project (LIU), the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) delivers high intensity bunch trains with 25 ns bunch spacing to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These beams are exposed to several collective effects in the SPS, such as beam coupling impedance, space charge and electron cloud, leading to relatively large bunch-by-bunch coherent and incoherent tune shifts. Tune correction to the nominal values at injection is crucial to ensure beam stability and good beam transmission. Measurements of the bunch-by-bunch coherent tune shifts have been performed under different beam conditions. In this paper, we present the measurements of the bunch-by-bunch tune shift as function of bunch intensity for trains of 72 bunches. The experimental data are compared to multiparticle tracking simulations (including other beam variants such as 8b4e beam and hybrid beams) using the SPS impedance model. | |||

WEC4I2 | Development of Dual-harmonic RF System for CSNS-II | cavity, controls, LLRF, feedback | 312 |
|
|||
The upgrade of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS-II) encompasses the development of a dual har-monic RF system for the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS). The objective of this system is to achieve a maxi-mum second harmonic voltage of 100 kV. To meet this requirement, a high gradient cavity is being used in place of the traditional ferrite loaded cavity. Magnetic alloy (MA) loaded cavities, which can attain very high field gradients, have demonstrated their suitability for high-intensity proton synchrotrons. As a result, designing an RF system with MA-loaded cavities has emerged as a primary focus. Over the past decade, substantial ad-vancements have been made in the development of MA-loaded cavities at CSNS. This paper provides an overview of the RF system that incorporates the MA-loaded cavity and presents the high-power test results of the system. | |||

THA1I2 | High-Intensity Studies on the ISIS RCS and Their Impact on the Design of ISIS-II | simulation, space-charge, operation, controls | 331 |
|
|||
ISIS is the pulsed spallation neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. Operation centres on a rapid cycling proton synchrotron (RCS) that accelerates 3·1013 protons per pulse from 70 MeV to 800 MeV at 50 Hz, delivering a mean beam power of 0.2 MW. As a high-intensity machine, research at ISIS is predominantly focused on understanding, minimising and controlling beam-loss, which is central to sustainable machine operation. Knowledge of beam-loss mechanisms then informs the design of future high power accelerators such as ISIS-II. This paper provides an overview of the R&D studies currently underway on the ISIS RCS and how these relate to ongoing work understanding and optimising designs for ISIS-II. In particular, recent extensive investigations into observed head-tail instabilities are summarised. | |||

THA1C1 | High Intensity Beam Dynamics Challenges for HL-LHC | electron, cavity, luminosity, octupole | 344 |
|
|||
The High Luminosity (HL-LHC) project aims to increase the integrated luminosity of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by an order of magnitude compared to its initial design. This requires a large increase in bunch intensity and beam brightness compared to the first LHC runs, and hence poses serious collective-effects challenges, related in particular to electron cloud, instabilities from beam-coupling impedance, and beam-beam effects. Here we present the associated constraints and the proposed mitigation measures to achieve the baseline performance of the upgraded LHC machine. We also discuss the interplay of these mitigation measures with other aspects of the accelerator, such as the physical and dynamic aperture, machine protection, magnet imperfections, optics, and the collimation system. | |||

THAFP01 | Probing Transverse Impedances in the High Frequency Range at the CERN SPS | simulation, betatron, optics, coupling | 393 |
|
|||
Funding: CERN The SPS transverse impedance model, which includes the major impedance contributions in the machine, can be benchmarked through measurements of the Head-Tail mode zero instability. Since the SPS works above transition energy, the head tail mode zero is unstable for negative values of chromaticity. The measured instability growth rate is proportional to the real part of the transverse impedance. Studies performed after the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) showed a relevant impedance around 2 GHz with high-gamma transition optics (Q26). This paper presents the follow-up studies to probe the behavior of this beam coupling impedance contribution. |

THAFP03 | Measurement of Stability Diagram at IOTA at Fermilab | experiment, kicker, damping, pick-up | 400 |
|
|||
Funding: Fermilab Nonlinear focusing elements can enhance the stability of particle beams in high-energy colliders by means of Landau Damping, through the tune spread which is introduced. We propose an experiment at Fermilab’s Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) to investigate the influence of nonlinear focusing elements on the transverse stability of the beam. In this experiment, we employ an anti-damper, an active transverse feedback system, as a controlled mechanism to induce coherent beam instability. By utilizing the anti-damper, we can examine the impact of the nonlinear focusing element on the beam’s transverse stability. The stability diagram, a tool used to determine the system’s stability, will be measured using a recently demonstrated method at the LHC. This measurement is carried out experimentally by selecting specific threshold gains and measuring them for a range of phases. The stability diagram is represented by gei¿ on the complex plane. The experiment at IOTA adds insight towards the stability diagram measurement method by supplying a reduced machine impedance, to investigate the impedance’s effect on the stability diagram, as well as a larger range of phase measurements. |

THAFP05 | A Wireless Method for Beam Coupling Impedance Measurements of the LHC Goniometer | cavity, coupling, simulation, scattering | 407 |
|
|||
The beam coupling impedance (BCI) of an accelerator component should be ideally evaluated exciting the device with the beam itself. However, this scenario is not always attainable and alternative methods must be exploited, such as the bench measurements techniques. The stretched Wire Method (WM) is a well established technique for BCI evaluations, although nowadays its limitations are well known. In particular, the stretched wire perturbs the electromagnetic boundary conditions. Therefore, the results obtained could be inaccurate, especially below the cut-off frequency of the beam pipe in the case of cavity-like structures. To overcome these limitations, efforts are being made to investigate alternative bench measurement techniques that will not require the modification of the device under test (DUT). In this framework, a wireless method has been identified and tested for a pillbox cavity. Its potential for more complex structures, such as the LHC crystal goniometer is explored. | |||

THAFP10 | Stripline Design of a Fast Faraday Cup for the Bunch Length Measurement at ISOLDE-ISRS | ISOL, scattering, electron, operation | 426 |
|
|||
In order to measure the bunch length of the beam after Multi Harmonic Buncher (MHB) of ISOLDE Superconducting Recoil Separator (ISRS) and characterize the longitudinal structure of bunches of MHB, installation of a Fast Faraday Cup (FFC) is foreseen. Several possible structures of the fast faraday cup are studied and due to timing characteristics of the beam, a microstrip design is selected as the first option. The beam is collected on the biased collector of the microstrip with a matched impedance and transferred to the RF wideband amplification system. The amplified signal then can be analyzed on the wideband oscilloscope or acquisition system to extract the bunch length and bunch timing structure with precision. The design of the microstrip FFC and primary RF measurement of the prototype are discussed in this paper. | |||

THBP11 | MKP-L Impedance Mitigation and Expectations for MKP-S in the CERN-SPS | kicker, coupling, shielding, extraction | 466 |
|
|||
Beam coupling impedance mitigation is key in preventing intensity limitations due to beam stability issues, heating and sparking. In this framework, a very good example is the optimization of the SPS kickers beam-coupling impedance for beam-induced heating mitigation. After the optimization of the SPS extraction kickers, the SPS injection kickers became the next bottleneck for high intensity operation. This system is composed of three MKP-S tanks and one MKP-L. To accommodate LIU beam intensities, it was necessary to mitigate the beam induced heating of the MKP-L, using a shielding concept briefly reviewed in this paper. Moreover, temperature data from the 2023 run are analyzed to qualify the accuracy of the models and assess the effectiveness of the impedance mitigation. Finally, the expected limitations from the MKP-S, expected to become the new bottleneck in terms of beam induced heating, are discussed. | |||

THBP17 | Transverse Coherent Instability Studies for the High-Energy Part of the Muon Collider Complex | collider, cavity, synchrotron, simulation | 491 |
|
|||
Funding: This project has received funding from the European Union¿s Research and Innovation programme under GA No 101094300 and the Swiss Accelerator Research and Technology (CHART) program (www.chart.ch). The International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC) is studying a 3 TeV center-of-mass muon collider ring, as well as a possible next stage at 10 TeV. Muons being 200 times heavier than electrons, limitations from synchrotron radiation are mostly suppressed, but the muon decay drives the accelerator chain design. After the muon and anti-muon bunches are produced and 6D cooled, a series of Linac, recirculating Linac and Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) quickly accelerate the bunches before the collider ring. A large number of RF cavities are required in the RCS to ensure that over 90% of the muons survive in each ring. The effects of cavities higher-order modes on transverse coherent stability have been looked at in detail, including the one of a bunch offset in the cavities, along with possible mitigation measures. In the collider ring, the decay of high-energy muons is a challenge for heat load management and radiation shielding. A tungsten liner would protect the superconducting magnet from decay products. Impedance and related beam stability have been investigated to identify the minimum vacuum chamber radius and transverse damper properties required for stable beams. |

THBP37 | Refining the LHC Longitudinal Impedance Model | cavity, simulation, injection, damping | 559 |
|
|||
Modelling the longitudinal impedance for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been a long-standing effort, especially in view of its High-Luminosity (HL) upgrade. The resulting impedance model is an essential input for beam dynamics studies. Increased beam intensities in the HL-LHC era will pose new challenges like RF power limitations, beam losses at injection and coupled-bunch instabilities throughout the acceleration cycle. Starting from the existing longitudinal impedance model, effort has been made to identify the main contributing devices and improve their modelling. Loss of Landau damping (LLD) simulations are performed to investigate the dependence of the stability threshold on the completeness of the impedance model and its broad-band cut-off frequency. Plans to perform beam measurements to estimate the cut-off frequency, by investigating the LLD threshold in operation, are also discussed. | |||

THBP40 | Mitigation Strategies for the Instabilities Induced by the Fundamental Mode of the HL-LHC Crab Cavities | cavity, feedback, betatron, optics | 571 |
|
|||
The transverse impedance is one of the potentially limiting effects for the performance of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In the current LHC, the impedance is dominated by the resistive-wall contribution of the collimators at typical bunch-spectrum frequencies, and is of broad-band nature. Nevertheless, the fundamental mode of the crab cavities, that are a vital part of the HL-LHC baseline, adds a strong and narrow-band contribution. The resulting coupled-bunch instability, which contains a strong head-tail component, requires dedicated mitigation measures, since the efficiency of the transverse damper is limited against such instabilities, and Landau damping from octupoles would not be sufficient. The efficiency and implications of various mitigation strategies, based on RF feedbacks and optics changes, are discussed, along with first measurements using crab cavity prototypes at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). | |||

THBP42 | Longitudinal Loss of Landau Damping in Double Harmonic RF Systems below Transition Energy | synchrotron, damping, space-charge, proton | 575 |
|
|||
Landau damping plays a crucial role in ensuring single-bunch stability in hadron synchrotrons. In the longitudinal plane, loss of Landau damping (LLD) occurs when a coherent mode of oscillation moves out of the incoherent synchrotron frequency band. The LLD threshold is studied for a purely inductive impedance below transition energy, specifically considering the common case of double harmonic RF systems operating in counter-phase at the bunch position. The additional focusing force due to beam-induced voltage distorts the potential well, ultimately collapsing the bucket. The limiting conditions for a binomial particle distribution are calculated. Furthermore, the contribution focuses on the configuration of the higher-harmonic RF system at four times the fundamental RF frequency operating in phase. In this case, the LLD threshold shows a non-monotonic behavior with a zero threshold where the derivative of the synchrotron frequency distribution is positive. The findings are obtained employing semi-analytical calculations using the MELODY code. | |||

THBP45 | Longitudinal Collective Effects at Beam Transfer from PS to SPS at CERN | simulation, beam-loading, injection, cavity | 587 |
|
|||
The hardware upgrades of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project at CERN were completed during the Long Shutdown 2 (2019-2021) to prepare the injectors for the beams required by the High Luminosity (HL) LHC. Doubling the bunch intensity leads to new challenges due to collective effects. Although many bottlenecks were already solved, a remaining limitation is the important loss of particles at transfer from the Proton Synchrotron (PS) to the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). The maximum transmission achieved since the restart in 2021 is in the order of 90%, yet leading to unnecessary activation of the SPS. The losses are distributed at various instants of the SPS cycle: fast intensity decay right after injection, slow losses along the injection plateau while waiting for multiple injections from the PS, and uncaptured beam removed at start of acceleration. In this contribution, the focus is on longitudinal aspects of transfer losses and more specifically on intensity effects during the non-adiabatic bunch shorting performed in the PS prior to extraction, as well as on the longitudinal mismatch at injection due to misaligned bunch phases in the SPS caused by transient beam loading. | |||

THBP47 | Studies on the Effect of Beam-Coupling Impedance on Schottky Spectra of Bunched Beams | simulation, synchrotron, coupling, diagnostics | 595 |
|
|||
Schottky monitors can be used for non-invasive beam diagnostics to estimate various bunch characteristics, such as tune, chromaticity, bunch profile or synchrotron frequency distribution. However, collective effects, in particular beam-coupling impedance, can significantly affect Schottky spectra when large bunch charges are involved. In such conditions, the available interpretation methods are difficult to apply directly to the measured spectra, thus preventing the extraction of beam and machine parameters, which is possible for lower bunch charges. To study the impact of impedance on such spectra, we perform here time-domain, macro-particle simulations and apply a semi-analytical method to compute the Schottky signal for various machine and beam conditions, including those corresponding to typical physics operation at the Large Hadron Collider. This study provides preliminary interpretations of the impact of beam-coupling impedance on Schottky spectra by incorporating longitudinal and transverse resonator-like impedance models into the simulations. | |||

THBP49 | Collimation of 400 MJ Beams at the LHC: The First Step Towards the HL-LHC Era | collimation, proton, luminosity, operation | 603 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the HL-LHC project. An important upgrade programme is planned for the collimation system of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in order to meet the challenges of the upcoming High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project. A first stage of the HL-LHC upgrade was already deployed during the last LHC Long Shutdown, offering important improvements of the collimation cleaning, a significant reduction of the impedance contribution and better cleaning of collisional debris, in particular for ion-ion collisions. This upgrade provides a critical opportunity to explore the LHC intensity limits during the LHC Run 3 and can provide crucial feedback to refine upgrade plans and operational scenarios in the HL-LHC era. This paper describes the performance of the upgraded LHC collimation system that has already enabled stored-beam energies larger than 400 MJ at the unprecedented beam energy of 6.8 TeV, and reviews further upgrade plans envisaged to reach 700 MJ beams at the HL-LHC. |

THBP52 | A Python Package to Compute Beam-Induced Heating in Particle Accelerators and Applications | vacuum, coupling, site, wakefield | 611 |
|
|||
High-energy particle beams interact electromagnetically with their surroundings when they travel inside an accelerator. These interactions may cause beam-induced heating of the accelerator’s components, which could eventually lead to outgassing, equipment degradation and physical damage. The expected beam-induced heating can be related to the beam coupling impedance, an electromagnetic property of every accelerator device. Accounting for beam-induced heating is crucial both at the design phase of an accelerator component and for gaining an understanding of devices¿ failures. In this paper, an in-house developed Python tool to compute beam-induced heating due to impedance is introduced. The different features and capabilities will be showcased and applied to real devices in the LHC and the injector chain. | |||
