Reduction of the beam emittance in the charged-particle storage rings with the help of periodic magnetic wigglers

Periodic magnetic structures (wigglers) have been successfully used for a long time for controlling beam parameters in charged-particle storage rings for various purposes (including the reduction of emittance). In this work, we optimize the optical functions of the storage ring gap into which a wiggler is installed for a more effective reduction of the emittance. Optimal solutions are obtained for the first time for FODOtype and theoretical minimum emittance (TME) structures. An original method is proposed for suppressing the contribution of the wiggler fields to the radiation excitation of the phase volume of the beam by modulating the field period along the wiggler axis.     

Meeting Reports: Energy-Recovering Linacs for Next-Generation Light Sources

Energy-recovering linear accelerators (ERLs) have the potential of providing two orders of magnitude increase in brightness over third-generation sources while offering bunch lengths as low as tens of femtoseconds for timing experiments. ERLs are different from storage rings in that the electron bunches circulate once only. Thus they are not at equilibrium, and in particular can be packed much more tightly than in storage rings, resulting in brighter sources. However, dumping a 100 mA, 3 GeV beam that carries 300 MW of energy is not practical, so the energy is recovered, and the devices are in some sense energystorage rings.

High‐efficiency coherence‐preserving harmonic rejection with crystal optics

This work reports a harmonic‐rejection scheme based on the combination of Si(111) monochromator and Si(220) harmonic‐rejection crystal optics. This approach is of importance to a wide range of X‐ray applications in all three major branches of modern X‐ray science (scattering, spectroscopy, imaging) based at major facilities, and especially relevant to the capabilities offered by the new diffraction‐limited storage rings. It was demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally that, when used with a synchrotron undulator source over a broad range of X‐ray energies of interest, the harmonic‐rejection crystals transmit the incident harmonic X‐rays on the order of 10^?6. Considering the flux ratio of fundamental and harmonic X‐rays in the incident beam, this scheme achieves a total flux ratio of harmonic radiation to fundamental radiation on the order of 10^?10. The spatial coherence of the undulator beam is preserved in the transmitted fundamental radiation while the harmonic radiation is suppressed, making this scheme suitable not only for current third‐generation synchrotron sources but also for the new diffraction‐limited storage rings where coherence preservation is an even higher priority. Compared with conventional harmonic‐rejection mirrors, where coherence is poorly preserved and harmonic rejection is less effective, this scheme has the added advantage of lower cost and footprint. This approach has been successfully utilized at the ultra‐small‐angle X‐ray scattering instrument at the Advanced Photon Source for scattering, imaging and coherent X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy experiments. With minor modification, the harmonic rejection can be improved by a further five orders of magnitude, enabling even more performance capabilities.

Beam dynamics in an ultra-low energy storage rings (review of existing facilities and feasibility studies for future experiments)

Storage rings operating at ultra-low energies and in particular electrostatic storage rings have proven to be invaluable tools for atomic and molecular physics. Due to the mass independence of the electrostatic rigidity, these machines are able to store a wide range of different particles, from light ions to heavy singly charged bio-molecules. However, earlier measurements showed strong limitations on beam intensity, fast decay of ion current, reduced life time etc. The nature of these effects was not fully understood. Also a large variety of experiments in future generation ultra-low energy storage and decelerator facilities including in-ring collision studies with a reaction microscope require a comprehensive investigation of the physical processes involved into the operation of such rings. In this paper, we present review of non-linear and long term beam dynamics studies on example of the ELISA, AD Recycler, TSR and USR rings using the computer codes BETACOOL, OPERA-3D and MAD-X. The results from simulations were benchmarked against experimental data of beam losses in the ELISA storage ring. We showed that decay of beam intensity in ultra-low energy rings is mainly caused by ion losses on ring aperture due to multiple scattering on residual gas. Beam is lost on ring aperture due to small ring acceptance. Rate of beam losses increases at high intensities because of the intra-beam scattering effect adds to vacuum losses. Detailed investigations into the ion kinetics under consideration of the effects from electron cooling and multiple scattering of the beam on a supersonic gas jet target have been carried out as well. The life time, equilibrium momentum spread and equilibrium lateral spread during collisions with this internal gas jet target were estimated. In addition, the results from experiments at the TSR ring, where low intensity beam of CF⁺ ions at 93 keV/u has been shrunk to extremely small dimensions have been reproduced. Based on these simulations, conditions for stable ring operation with extremely low emittance beam are presented. Finally, results from studies into the interaction of ions with a gas jet target at 3–30 keV energy range are summarized.     

Incoherent effects of electron clouds in proton storage rings

Electron clouds in the beam pipe of high-energy proton or positron storage rings can give rise to significant incoherent emittance growth, at densities far below the coherent-instability threshold. We identify two responsible mechanisms: namely, (1) a beam particle periodically crosses a resonance and (2) a beam particle periodically crosses a region of the bunch where its motion is linearly unstable. Formation of halo or beam-core blow up, respectively, are the result. Key ingredients for both processes are synchrotron motion and electron-induced tune shift. The mechanisms considered provide a possible explanation for reduced beam lifetime and emittance growth observed at several operating accelerators. Similar phenomena are likely to occur in other two-stream systems.

Effect of fringing fields in storage rings

Electron beams in storage rings of third-generation synchrotron radiation sources feature a low emittance and extended lifetime. The provision of such characteristics requires a detailed study of higher order effects related to magnetic fields and cooperative effects associated with beam density. Fringing fields, being an unavoidable attribute of magnets of any type, may significantly affect the beam dynamics, since they appear in equations of particle motion of first and higher orders. A simple technique for evaluating the effect of fringing fields on the beam dynamics is suggested. Numerical results obtained with this technique for the quadrupoles of the CANDLE storage ring [1] are reported.     

Compact IR synchrotron beamline design

Third‐generation storage rings are massively evolving due to the very compact nature of the multi‐bend achromat (MBA) lattice which allows amazing decreases of the horizontal electron beam emittance, but leaves very little place for infrared (IR) extraction mirrors to be placed, thus prohibiting traditional IR beamlines. In order to circumvent this apparent restriction, an optimized optical layout directly integrated inside a SOLEIL synchrotron dipole chamber that delivers intense and almost aberration‐free beams in the near‐ to mid‐IR domain (1–30 µm) is proposed and analyzed, and which can be integrated into space‐restricted MBA rings. Since the optics and chamber are interdependent, the feasibility of this approach depends on a large part on the technical ability to assemble mechanically the optics inside the dipole chamber and control their resulting stability and thermo‐mechanical deformation. Acquiring this expertise should allow dipole chambers to provide almost aberration‐free IR synchrotron sources on current and `ultimate' MBA storage rings.     

Performance of HIMAC

The NIRS heavy-ion two-synchrotron medical facility, HIMAC, was approved in the 1987 fiscal year and clinical trials were started in late June 1994 as previously arranged. The operation experiences show that the entire HIMAC facility can work well with high stability and excellent reproducibility. For example, the intensity of beam extracted slowly from the rings can be reduced as low as 500 particles per pulse because stable and reproducible acceleration can be achieved in the rings in spite of no beam feedback. This performance enables direct counting of the beam and its fragments in the preparatory experiments toward clinical treatments and provides a promising basis for acceleration and storage of radioactive beams toward simultaneous treatment and diagnosis in future.

Prospects for electron cooling of antiprotons at low energies

The motivation of using electron cooling in low-energy antiproton storage rings and the expected cooling performance are discussed. Results obtained recently, during the first operation of electron cooling in LEAR at CERN with a 50 MeV proton beam, are summarized, concerning in particular the equilibrium beam properties, the recombination between cooling electrons and cooled protons, and the deceleartion of acceleration of protons by friction in the electron beam. Conclusions are drawn for the formation of antihydrogen with the cooled antiproton beam, and for the deceleration of antiprotons to energies close to or below 1 MeV.     

衍射极限环光源纵向束流注入非线性优化

下一代同步辐射光源储存环动力学孔径较小,因而束流注入困难,可以通过纵向束流注入解决这一问题。为了使用更长的kicker脉冲,有必要降低高频频率以增加注入束流到储存束流的时移。因为同步辐射运动,时移更长的束流有更高的动量偏差,所以通过该方法进行注入需要储存环提供足够大的能量接受度和动力学孔径。用SSRF-U的候选磁聚焦结构来展示纵向束流注入非线性优化的可行方法。由一系列高频频率的最佳结果可知,低于界限频率时kicker脉冲不会继续增长。在束流模拟中,采用界限频率与合适六级铁强度,可使SSRF-U储存环束流注入达到最高效率。

Review of collective beam instabilities in electron-positron storage rings

The review of studies of collective beam instabilities in electron-positron storage rings is presented. The processes of excitation and suppression of the longitudinal microwave instability, transverse mode coupling instability, longitudinal and transverse multi-bunch instabilities, and instabilities induced by an interaction of a beam with ions or electron clouds are discussed. Important equations for estimation of the threshold beam currents and the rise time of instabilities, as well as the references to the major original works are given. The methods for diagnostics and suppression of instabilities are considered using specific examples.     

Coherent THz synchrotron radiation from a storage ring with high-frequency RF system

The generation of brilliant, stable, and broadband coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in electron storage rings depends strongly on ring rf system properties such as frequency and gap voltage. We have observed intense coherent radiation at frequencies approaching the THz regime produced by the MIT-Bates South Hall Ring, which employs a high-frequency S-band rf system. The measured CSR spectral intensity enhancement with 2 mA stored current was up to 10,000 times above background for wave numbers near 3 cm(-1). The measurements also uncovered strong beam instabilities that must be suppressed if such a very high rf frequency electron storage ring is to become a viable coherent THz source.     

Memorable Years for Synchrotron Radiation at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk

In the early 1970s, the Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP) in Novosibirsk was a unique place in the world of accelerator physics. There were three operational electron-positron storage rings at the institution. All together, they covered beam operational energies from 200 MeV up to 2.2 GeV. It was not a big surprise for the developers of these state-of-the-art machines when the first users of synchrotron radiation showed up at the doorsteps of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, eager to take advantage of such unique radiation sources. And how very unique they were! Compared with several already relatively well-established operational synchrotrons around the world, such as DESY in Hamburg, NINA in Darsbury, and three synchrotrons in the Soviet Union—one at the Physical Institute in Pakhra, another at the Tomsk Polytechnical Institute, and a third at the Erevan Physical Institute—the storage ring sources provided much more stable and brighter radiation beams. Several storage rings built at that time in locations such as Japan, the US, and France were also on the verge of becoming available for synchrotron radiation users.
