However, to go from “acceleration” to “accelerator,” a beam line system is required to accurately control the beam parameters according to different irradiation requirements. The laser-accelerated proton beam is characterized by a micron-scale original source size and a small emittance as low as 0.004 mm mrad [T. E. Cowan <i>et al.</i>, <span>Phys. Rev. Lett.</span> <b>92</b>, 204801 (2004)]. However, due to the broad energy spread and large divergence, its initial ultralow emittance will increase rapidly in the subsequent transmission process. This indicates that designing a beamline for laser-driven protons is challenging and differs significantly from that of a conventional accelerator. As a fundamental parameter for beam line design, we have theoretically derived the emittance growth law for laser-driven protons in both drift space and in a focusing element. The results demonstrate that the beam emittance deteriorates sharply with the energy spread and the square of the divergence angle. These theoretical calculations have been verified both in experiments and simulations. This work is helpful for designing subsequent beam lines that pursue high transmission efficiency and achromatic ability.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140635291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the SPS to operate safely, its internal beam dump must be able to repeatedly absorb the energy of the circulating beams without sustaining damage that would affect its function. The latest upgrades of the SPS led to the requirement for its beam dump to absorb proton beams with a momentum spectrum from 14 to <math display=\"inline\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mn>450</mn><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><mi>GeV</mi><mo>/</mo><mi>c</mi></mrow></math> and an average beam power of up to <math display=\"inline\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mo>∼</mo><mn>270</mn><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><mi>kW</mi></math>. This paper presents the technical details of a new design of the SPS beam dump that was installed in one of the long straight sections of the SPS during the 2019–2020 shutdown of CERN’s accelerator complex within the framework of the Large Hadron Collider Injectors Upgrade Project. This new beam dump has been in the operation since May 2021, and it is foreseen that it will operate with a lifetime of 20 years. The key challenges in the design of the beam dump were linked to the high levels of thermal energy to be dissipated—to avoid overheating and damage to the beam dump itself—and high induced levels of radiation, which have implications for personnel access to monitor the beam dump and repair any problems occurring during operation. The design process, therefore, included extensive thermomechanical finite-element simulations of the beam-dump core and its cooling system’s response to normal operation and worst-case scenarios for beam dumping. To ensure high thermal conductivity between the beam-dump core and its water-cooling system, hot isostatic pressing techniques were used in its manufacturing process. A comprehensive set of instrumentation was installed in the beam dump to monitor it during operation and to cross-check the numerical models with operational feedback. The beam dump and its infrastructure design were also optimized to ensure it can be maintained, repaired, or replaced while minimizing the radiation doses received by personnel.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140598945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wakefield energy losses in an undulator’s vacuum chamber are one of the factors that determine the undulator’s linear taper. While another contribution to energy losses, namely the losses due to spontaneous radiation, can be calculated analytically, estimating wakefield energy losses requires detailed knowledge of the chamber geometry and the electron beam current profile. We introduce a method for the automatic estimation of wakefield energy losses, which leverages noninvasive THz diagnostics, a current profile reconstruction algorithm enhanced with machine learning, and a recently developed analytical wakefield function for the European XFEL’s undulator beamline. The correctness of this method was validated by directly measuring wakefield-induced electron beam energy losses in the undulator section. This, in turn, enables the prediction of the optimal linear taper in the undulator.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":"244 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140599511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure the successful integration of the monitor and subsequent operation under LHC ultrahigh vacuum conditions, a series of vacuum studies have been performed.

A key challenge exists in this subrelativistic regime; the electron velocity changes significantly as energy is gained. To keep electrons in the accelerating phase, the phase velocity must also be increased to match. We present simulations which demonstrate that the dielectric thickness can be kept constant and the width of the dielectric lining can be tapered along the direction of travel to vary the phase velocity, an approach only possible by the use of a rectangular waveguide geometry. The properties of tapered DLWs are discussed and following this, a design process is presented to demonstrate that the way this tapering can be optimized for different pulse and beam parameters. The minimum accelerating gradient for electron bunch capture is derived and compared to simulations. As examples of this design process, designs are considered based on considerations of the THz source, incoming electron beam, and manufacturing tolerances.

The interval between bunches can be fine-tuned by modulating their spiral movement. We explore this method with the particle dynamic simulation.
