The strategy adopted in the PD design is that the beam losses in the machine are localized and controlled as much as possible via the dedicated beam collimation system, with a high loss rate localized in that section and drastically lower uncontrolled beam loss rate in the rest of the lattice. Results of thorough Monte Carlo calculations of prompt and residual radiation in and around the PD components are presented for realistic assumptions and geometry under normal operation and accidental conditions. This allowed one to conduct shielding design and analysis to meet regulatory requirements for external shielding, hands on maintenance and ground-water activation.","PeriodicalId":313758,"journal":{"name":"PACS2001.

Plans to face those challenges are discussed. Historically, the Linac/Booster system has served only as an injector for the relatively low repetition rate Main Ring synchrotron. With construction of an 8 GeV target station for the 5 Hz MiniBooNE neutrino beam and requirements for rapid multi-batch injection into the Main Injector for the NUMI/MINOS experiment, the demand for 8 GeV protons will increase more than an order of magnitude above recent high levels. To meet this challenge, enhanced ion source performance, better Booster orbit control, a beam loss collimation/localization system, and improved diagnostics are among the items being pursued. Booster beam loss reduction and control are key to the entire near future Fermilab high energy physics program.","PeriodicalId":313758,"journal":{"name":"PACS2001.

The exact mechanism for this equilibration, along with the question of macroscopic reversibility, has been uncertain, however. A number of computational approaches based on particle-in-cell (PIC) methods are presented which can facilitate the resolution of these questions. One such technique is the self-consistent tracking of individual particle orbits through the nonlinear potential formed by nonuniform charge density distributions. This orbit-tracking model differs from the particle-core model in that the sampled particles are systematically chosen from the actual particles in a fully self-consistent simulation. The results of this analysis are presented for a number of representative cases, and the implications of the study on the equilibration mechanism are discussed.","PeriodicalId":313758,"journal":{"name":"PACS2001.

Although the initial wakefield experiments were successful, higher drive beam quality would substantially improve the wakefield accelerating gradients. For this reason we have built a new 1-1/2 cell L-band photocathode RF gun. This gun is expected to produce 10 - 100 nC bunches with 2 - 5 ps rms pulse length and normalized emittance less than 100 mm mrad. The gun will initially have a Cu photocathode, which will soon be replaced by a high quantum efficiency CsTe one, allowing the generation of a train of high charge bunches. The beam energy at the exit of the gun cavity will be in the range 7.5 - 10 MeV. A standing-wave linac structure operating at the same frequency (1.3 GHz) will increase the beam energy to about 15 MeV. This beam will be used in high gradient wakefield acceleration experiments and other high intensity electron beam applications. Travelling wave dielectric loaded structures, operating at 7.8 and 15.6 GHz, will be excited by the propagation of single bunches or by trains of up to 32 electron bunches, reaching gradients in excess of 100 MV/m over distances of the order of 1 meter.","PeriodicalId":313758,"journal":{"name":"PACS2001.
