Orthogonal dual-slit emitttancemeter for the C-band photocathode RF-gun
To enhance the performance of next-generation X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs), it is crucial to produce high-quality electron beams with low emittance, particularly for attaining emittances below 0.2 mm.mrad for 100 pC bunch charges. This study introduces an emittance measurement method using an orthogonal dual-slit technique, aimed at enhancing measurement efficiency and achieving the necessary measurement accuracy for such small emittances. An emittance meter based on this method has been designed for a C-band photocathode RF gun at the CSNS campus. Finally, we present numerical simulations to optimize the primary parameters of the emittance meter, focusing on beam drift distance, combined with the motion accuracy of the stepper motor and the expected resolution of the optical observation system to ensure the accuracy of the emittance measurement.
Design considerations of the bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback system for the CSNS RCS
The CSNS RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) is a proton accelerator designed to achieve a target beam energy of 1.6 GeV, with a typical operating intensity of 140 kW, which is expected to increase to 500 kW after the CSNS II upgrade. However, a significant current instability has been observed during the 100 kW beam operation. To mitigate this instability, techniques such as operational tuning and chrominance modulation were previously used to make the 100-kilowatt beam operate stably. In order to face the subsequent stronger instability, a bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback system is developed to mitigate the coherent lateral oscillations caused by instability and injection errors. The system consists of a beam position monitor, strip-line kicker, power amplifier, and signal processing electronics.
Preliminary commissioning results of the LW prototype at CSNS
China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) accelerator complex will employ a new superconducting accelerating section to provide high beam power. To prevent contamination of the superconducting cavity surface caused by sputtering, shedding, or melting of medium materials during interceptive beam measurements, the second phase of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) superconducting linac section will adopt laser stripping technology for transverse distribution measurements of the negative hydrogen beam at nine stations. This paper describes the design of LW prototype including laser parameters, optics transmission and simulation of laser-beam interaction. And the preliminary results of the profile measurement where beam energy is 80MeV are also presented.
Test of the large-diameter CNT wire for the high-intensity beam diagnostics
In particle accelerator complex, measurement of the beam profile monitor is important to mitigate the beam loss in a high-intensity beam linac. However, traditional metallic wires in wire scanner monitor (WSM) face thermal challenges with high energy deposition leads to rapid break. Since the CNT wire has a high-temperature tolerance and a small energy deposit due to the low density compared with the tungsten wire, it is selected as strong wire to measure high intensity beam. With the development of carbon nano technology, a new production process for wire scanner is introduced. Besides, this paper examines the thermal durability of carbon nanotubes (CNT), carbon fiber. And the details of the study of CNT wire scanner monitor at CSNS are also presented.
