Bunch Splitting Simulations For The Jleic Ion Collider Ring, R. Gamage, T. Satogata Jun 2016

Bunch Splitting Simulations For The Jleic Ion Collider Ring, R. Gamage, T. Satogata

Physics Faculty Publications

We describe the bunch splitting strategies for the proposed JLEIC ion collider ring at Jefferson Lab. This complex requires an unprecedented 9:6832 bunch splitting, performed in several stages. We outline the problem and current results, optimized with ESME including general parameterization of 1:2 bunch splitting for JLEIC parameters.


Secondary Electron Emission From Plasma Processed Accelerating Cavity Grade Niobium, Miloš Bašović Apr 2016

Secondary Electron Emission From Plasma Processed Accelerating Cavity Grade Niobium, Miloš Bašović

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Advances in the particle accelerator technology have enabled numerous fundamental discoveries in 20th century physics. Extensive interdisciplinary research has always supported further development of accelerator technology in efforts of reaching each new energy frontier.

Accelerating cavities, which are used to transfer energy to accelerated charged particles, have been one of the main focuses of research and development in the particle accelerator field. Over the last fifty years, in the race to break energy barriers, there has been constant improvement of the maximum stable accelerating field achieved in accelerating cavities. Every increase in the maximum attainable accelerating fields allowed for higher …


Analyses Of 476 Mhz And 952 Mhz Crab Cavities For Jlab Electron Ion Collider, Hyekyoung Park, A. Castilla, J. R. Delayen, S. U. De Silva, V. Morozov Jan 2016

Analyses Of 476 Mhz And 952 Mhz Crab Cavities For Jlab Electron Ion Collider, Hyekyoung Park, A. Castilla, J. R. Delayen, S. U. De Silva, V. Morozov

Center for Accelerator Science at ODU has designed, fabricated and successfully tested a crab cavity for MEIC at Jefferson Lab*. This proof of principle cavity was based on the earlier MEIC design which used 748.5 MHz RF system. The updated MEIC design** utilizes the components from PEP-II. It results in the change on the bunch repetition rate of stored beam to 476.3 MHz. The ion ring collider will eventually require 952.6 MHz crab cavity. This paper will present the analyses of crab cavities of both 476 MHz and 952 MHz options. It compares advantages and disadvantages of the options which …
