Lattice study for the HLS-Ⅱ storage ring

The Hefei Light Source (HLS) is undergoing a major upgrade project, named HLS-Ⅱ , in order to obtain lower emittance and more insertion device straight sections. Undulators are the main insertion devices in the HLS-Ⅱ storage ring. In this paper, based on the database of lattice parameters built for the HLS-Ⅱ storage ring obtained by the global scan method, we use the quantity related to the undulator radiation brightness to more directly search for high brightness lattices. Lattice solutions for achromatic and non-achromatic modes are easily found with lower emittance, smaller beta functions at the center of the insertion device straight sections and lower dispersion in non-zero dispersion straight sections compared with the previous lattice solutions. In this paper, the superperiod lattice with alternating high and low horizontal beta functions in long straight sections for the achromatic mode is studied using the multiobjective particle swarm optimization algorithm.     

Validity condition of separating dispersion of PCFs into material dispersion and geometrical dispersion

When using normalized dispersion method for the dispersion design of photonic crystal fibers （PCFs）, it is vital that the group velocity dispersion of PCF can be seen as the sum of geometrical dispersion and material dispersion. However, the error induced by this way of calculation will deteriorate the final results. Taking 5 ps/（km.nm） and 5% as absolute error and relative error limits, respectively, the structure parameter boundaries of PCFs about when separating total dispersion into geometrical and material components is valid are provided for wavelength shorter than 1700 nm. By using these two criteria together, it is adequate to evaluate the simulated dispersion of PCFs when normalized dispersion method is employed.

Deterministic Quantum Secure Direct Communication with Dense Coding and Continuous Variable Operations

We propose a deterministic quantum secure direct two check photon sequences are used to check the securities of the communication protocol by using dense coding. The channels between the message sender and the receiver. The continuous variable operations instead of the usual discrete unitary operations are performed on the travel photons so that the security of the present protocol can be enhanced. Therefore some specific attacks such as denial-of-service attack, intercept-measure-resend attack and invisible photon attack can be prevented in ideal quantum channel. In addition, the scheme is still secure in noise channel. Furthurmore, this protocol has the advantage of high capacity and can be realized in the experiment.     

Design and optimization of a longitudinal feedback kicker cavity for the HLS-Ⅱ storage ring

In the Hefei Light Source (HLS) storage ring, multibunch operation is used to obtain a high luminosity. Multibunch instabilities can severely limit light source performance with a variety of negative impacts, including beam loss, low injection efficiency, and overall degradation of the beam quality. Instabilities of a multibunch beam can be mitigated using certain techniques including increasing natural damping (operating at a higher energy), lowering the beam current, and increasing Landau damping. However, these methods are not adequate to stabilize a multibunch electron beam at a low energy and with a high current. In order to combat beam instabilities in the HLS storage ring, active feedback systems including a longitudinal feedback system (LFB) and a transverse feedback system (TFB) will be developed as part of the HLS upgrade project, the HLS-Ⅱ storage ring project. As a key component of the longitudinal bunch-by-bunch feedback system, an LFB kicker cavity with a wide bandwidth and high shunt impedance is required. In this paper we report our work on the design of the LFB kicker cavity for the HLS-Ⅱ storage ring and present the new tuning and optimization techniques developed in designing this high performance LFB kicker.     

Nonlinear optimization of the modern synchrotron radiation storage ring based on frequency map analysis

In this paper, we present a rule to improve the nonlinear solution with frequency map analysis （FMA）, and without frequently revisiting the optimization algorithm. Two aspects of FMA are emphasized. The first one is the tune shift with amplitude, which can be used to improve the solution of harmonic sextupoles, and thus obtain a large dynamic aperture. The second one is the tune diffusion rate, which can be used to select a quiet tune. Application of these ideas is carried out in the storage ring of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility （SSRF）, and the detailed processes, as well as better solutions, are presented in this paper. Discussions about the nonlinear behaviors of off-momentum particles are also presented.     

Orbit response matrix analysis and lattice periodicity restoration of the SSRF storage ring

In this paper, we present numerically and experimentally the linear beam-optics distortion in the SSRF storage ring and the correction of optics by using a number of quadrupole magnets installed in the storage ring. The measured orbit-response matrices were fitted to the model-response matrices to obtain the β and the dispersion functions in the storage ring. By readjusting the currents of quadrupole-magnet power supplies, we were able to successfully restore the optics parameters to values very close to the design ones, with rms deviations around 1%. This periodicity restoration is verified with the β function measurement.     

Determination of the Coreactant Level in Crosslinked Polyurethane System by FTIR

Infrared spectrum is a general quantitation method which can be used to determine the concentration of a certain component in mixture.We proposed that it could also be used to determine the coreactant level of a reactive system.A two-part polyurethane film was used as a model system.The results showed that the height ratio of ring mode signal in urea and C—O signal in polyester polyol can be used to calculate the ratio of the two reactants.The assignments of the peaks were studied by in-situ reaction monitoring with moisture level changes and deuteration methods.The applicable conditions of this calibration curves were also discussed.     

Simulation and experimental research on polymer fiber mode selection polished coupler

Multimode dispersion is the main obstacle for high bandwidth in multimode optical fiber （MMF） communication system. Mode selection is an effective method to oppress multimode dispersion. We propose and investigate a kind of polymer optical fiber polished coupler. Beam propagation method （BPM） is employed to calculate the coupling coefficient of transmission modes in MMF coupler, and an output pattern from coupling branch is obtained. Analysis and experiment show that this coupler can select certain modes by changing polished depth, contact area, and intersection angle of two branches, which means that the device can be employed both as a mode selector and a sensor. In addition, simulation shows that five times bandwidth enhancement may be realized by selecting modes with the polymer fiber polished coupler.     

Generation and Quantum Interference of Entangled Electron-Hole Pairs in a Hanbury Brown and Twiss Interferometer

The Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometer is proposed to serve as a detector of the crossed Andreev reflection and to generate entangled electron-hole pairs. It is shown that the non-local electron and hole induced by the crossed Andreev reflection are entangled. Quantum interference of the entangled electron-hole pairs gives rise to a new measurable effect of the phase difference between two superconductors in the cross correlation. The present theoretical predictions can be experimentally realized within the present-day microelectronic technology.

First observation of simultaneous alpha buckets in a quasi-isochronous storage ring

We present the first experimental evidence confirming the theoretical predictions of alpha buckets in an electron storage ring. By controlling both the first- and second-order momentum compaction factors, we succeeded in storing electrons simultaneously in a pair of alpha buckets or in either bucket alone. The two electron bunches are separated in energy by slightly less than 1% and the energy is tunable over a narrow range. The energy difference was directly measured using synchrotron light from an undulator. Simultaneous two-color light beams from an undulator were generated. By changing the rf voltage, we were able to vary the normally fixed longitudinal bunch separation.

The nuclear-resonance-scattering station at the PETRA II undulator beamline

PETRA II, a 12 GeV accelerator at DESY, Hamburg, is used to produce synchrotron radiation (SR) for experiments in the hard X-ray regime when it is not running as injector for HERA. The beam from an undulator is split by a diamond crystal in Laue geometry to feed two experimental stations, one of which is now dedicated for nuclear resonance experiments. The X-ray energy may be chosen in the range from 5 to 55 keV covering all isotopes already observed with SR and many interesting candidates for new resonances. Tuning may be performed by optimising the magnetic gap and the storage ring energy. In particular, the opportunities for timing experiments are unique due to a very flexible filling mode of the storage ring. The flux at the sample position is comparable to undulator beams at ESRF. The second beamline covers higher energies up to some 300 keV and may also be used for nuclear resonance experiments. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Comparison of calculated brightness and flux of radiation from a long‐period wiggler and a short‐period undulator

In this article the calculation of brightness and flux for two insertion devices of the 2.8 GeV X‐ray storage ring at the NSLS is discussed. The radiation properties from the X25 linearly polarized wiggler and the new X25 short‐period undulator are compared at a fixed photon energy (11.3 keV) corresponding to emission from the fifth harmonic of the short‐period undulator. For this computation, three commonly available synchrotron radiation programs are used. The capabilities of each of these codes are briefly discussed, and their range of applicability are commented on. It is concluded that special care is needed when modeling the radiation of the classes of insertion devices considered here.     

First Lasing of FLASH2 at DESY

The free-electron laser FLASH at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, has been extended by a second undulator line in a separate tunnel and a new experimental hall (Figure 1). The existing undulator line, called FLASH1, and the new one, which includes provisions for external seeding to be realized later, called FLASH2, both use the same linear accelerator. They are operated in tandem by separating the pulse train into two sections, which are then directed to the different undulators. The linac energy is determined by the needs of the experiments at FLASH1, whereas the wavelength at FLASH2 can be varied in the limits of the tuning range of the undulators.

Optical klystron experiments for the ACO storage ring Free Electron Laser

To improve the gain in the Orsay storage ring Free Electron Laser (FEL) experiment, the 17 period permanent magnet undulator has been modified to form an optical klystron (OK). We report the measurement of spontaneous emission and the effects on it of energy spread and angular spread. Gain and laser induced bunch lengthening measurements with the OK are also reported and are in very good agreement with the FEL classical theory. The spontaneous emission spectrum which is easy to measure with good signal to noise ratio, turns out to be a very good diagnostic tool forenergy spread and angular spread measurements on storage rings. The factor of four increase in the small gain obtained by converting the undulator NOEL into an OK was the critical factor in the recent operation of the ACO storage ring laser above threshold.
