Estimates of post-acceleration longitudinal bunch compression

Description: A simple analytic method is developed, based on physical approximations, for treating transient implosive longitudinal compression of bunches of heavy ions in an accelerator system for ignition of inertial-confinement fusion pellet targets. Parametric dependences of attainable compressions and of beam path lengths and times during compression are indicated for ramped pulsed-gap lines, rf systems in storage and accumulator rings, and composite systems, including sections of free drift. It appear… more

On bunch lengthening using the fourth harmonic cavity in the NSLS VUV ring

Description: It has been suggested that the phase of the beam excited voltage in the harmonic cavity can be controlled by detuning its resonant frequency from the beam current harmonic. Unfortunately the detuning needed to flatten the acceleration waveform also corresponds to the region of Robinson instability for the harmonic cavity. Therefore, lengthening the bunch may be followed by large amplitude synchrotron oscillation of the bunch center of mass. Bunch lengthening is discussed in this note from sever… more

Analytic representation of three-dimensional stellarator field

Description: The stellarator configuration can be greatly simplified when toroidal harmonics are introduced. The toroidal function satisfies Laplace's equation and together with toroidal field and vertical field, a small-aspect-ratio stellarator can be constructed with an aspect ratio as low as 3.6. This functional presentation suggests a very fast computation of particle orbits and magnetic configuration.

3D field harmonics

Description: We have developed an harmonic representation for the three dimensional field components within the windings of accelerator magnets. The form by which the field is presented is suitable for interfacing with other codes that make use of the 3D field components (particle tracking and stability). The field components can be calculated with high precision and reduced cup time at any location (r,{theta},z) inside the magnet bore. The same conductor geometry which is used to simulate line currents is … more

Polarized Proton Acceleration at the Brookhaven AGS

Description: At the conclusion of polarized proton commissioning in February 1986, protons with an average polarization of 45%, momentum of 21.7 GeV/c, and intensity of 2 x 10/sup 10/ protons per pulse, were extracted to an external polarimeter at the Brookhaven AGS. In order to maintain this polarization, five intrinsic and nearly forty imperfection depolarizing resonances had to be corrected. An apparent interaction between imperfection and intrinsic resonances occurring at very nearly the same energy was… more

Correcting the AGS depolarizing resonances

Description: For the 1986 AGS run, the technique of correcting an imperfection resonance using a beat harmonic instead of the direct harmonic was applied and found to be useful in achieving a 22 GeV/c polarized beam. Both conventional and modified techniques are explained. (LEW)

Mapping from rectangular to harmonic representation

Description: An algorithm is developed to determine the Fourier harmonics representing the level contours of a scalar function given on a rectangular grid. This method is applied to the problem of computing the flux coordinates and flux surface average needed for 1-1/2-D transport codes and MHD stability codes from an equilibrium flux function given on a rectangular grid.

The beam dynamics study in a compact synchrotron

Description: A new computer code has been developed for compact synchrotron design. Based on a numerical integration of the exact equations of motion, the systematic beam dynamics study is carried out, with either computed or measured magnet field including magnet edges. Significant discrepancies of machine parameters reveal some unique features of the beam dynamics in small synchrotrons. Interactive procedures between the beam dynamics predictions on the one hand and the magnet design on the other are then… more

Theory of the tune shift due to linear coupling

Description: The presence of skew quadrupole fields will linearly couple the x and y motions. The x and y motion can then be written as the sum of two normal modes which have the tunes {nu}{sub 1},{nu}{sub 2}, in the absence of the skew quadrupole fields. New beta functions, {Beta}{sub 1} and {Beta}{sub 2}, can be defined which are the beta functions of the normal modes and which are different from {Beta}{sub x} and {Beta}{sub y}, the beta functions of the unperturbed accelerator. This paper presents analyt… more

Optical characteristics of super-radiant harmonic radiation from a FEL and optical klystron. 3D model

Description: In free-electron sources of coherent light, bunching of the electrons allows the super-radiant production of coherent harmonic radiation, up to substantially high harmonic numbers. This paper presents a fully three dimensional model formulation for evaluating coherent harmonic radiation from a free-electron laser or optical klystron. The radiated electromagnetic field is expanded in terms of a set of orthonogonal free-space modes. Expansion coefficients can be evaluated once a generalized form … more

Description: Under DARPA sponsorship, a compact Superconducting X-Ray Light Source (SXSL) is being designed and built by the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) with industry participation from Grumman Corporation and General Dynamics. The SXLS machine employs two 180{degrees} curved 4 telsa superconducting dipole magnets. These magnets are required to produce a dipole field for bending the beam but at the same time they must produce finite amounts of higher multipoles which are required for conditioning t… more

One gigasample per second transient recorder: a performance demonstration

Description: The performance demonstrated by a one gigasample per second (1 Gs/s) transient recorder currently in advanced development portends an important new instrument for recording single transient data. A Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) is used to sample a continuous analog signal. Samples acquired at the full sampling rate (1 Gs/s) are temporarily stored in the CCD, then read out at a slow rate (e.g., 250 Ks/s) into a conventional analog-to-digital converter prior to storage in nonvolatile, digital memor… more

Description: The single-particle equations of motion are derived for charged particles in a storage ring. Longitudinal space charge is included in the potential assuming an infinitely conducting circular beam pipe with a distributed inductance. The framework uses Hamilton's equations with the canonical variables phi and W. The Twiss parameters for longitudinal motion are also defined for the small amplitude synchrotron oscillations. The space-charge Hamiltonian is calculated for both parabolic bunches and '… more

Quadrupole magnet for the APS (Advanced Photon Source) storage ring

Description: An asymmetric core geometry has been selected for the quadrupole magnets in the storage ring of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) in order to accommodate the vacuum chamber and photon beam pipes. The requirements of the position beam make it necessary that the magnet be able to produce a field gradient of 20-T/m with high accuracy. The design for this magnet has been fully developed in preparation for the construction of a prototype. Some unique features included in the design are described. Des… more

New harmonic materials: index engineering. Thin-thick quadrature frequency conversion

Description: The quadrature conversion scheme is a method of generating the second harmonic. The scheme, which uses two crystals in series, has several advantages over single-crystal or other two crystal schemes. The most important is that it is capable of high conversion efficiency over a large dynamic range of drive intensity and detuning angle. Consider a pair of KDP crystals cut for type-II phase matching. In the quadrature scheme, the optic axes of the crystals are arranged so that the plans containing… more
