E-P instability in the NSNS accumulator ring

Conference Ruggiero, A G ; Blaskiewicz, M

It has been speculated that the intensity limitation observed in the Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring (PSR) is caused by a coherent instability induced by the presence of pockets of electrons generated by scattering with the molecules of the vacuum residual gas. A theoretical explanation of the e-p instability of course does exist, and is similar to the one developed for the ion-induced instability in electron storage rings. Considering the large beam power (3 MW) involved in the NSNS Accumulator Ring, and the consequences caused by even a small amount of beam loss, we need to carefully assess the effectsmore »« less

Active damping of the e-p instability at the Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring

Journal Article Macek, R J ; Assadi, S ; Byrd, J M ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

A prototype of an analog, transverse (vertical) feedback system for active damping of the two-stream (e-p) instability has been developed and successfully tested at the Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring (PSR). This system was able to improve the instability threshold by approximately 30% (as measured by the change in RF buncher voltage at instability threshold). The feedback system configuration, setup procedures, and optimization of performance are described. Results of several experimental tests of system performance are presented including observations of instability threshold improvement and grow-damp experiments, which yield estimates of instability growth and damping rates. A major effort was undertakenmore »« less

HIGH INTENSITY EFFECTS IN THE SNS ACCUMULATOR RING

Conference Holmes, Jeffrey A ; Cousineau, Sarah M ; Danilov, Viatcheslav ; ...

Currently operating at 0.5 MW beam power on target, the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is already the world's most powerful pulsed neutron source. However, we are only one third of the way to full power. As we ramp toward full power, the control of the beam and beam loss in the ring will be critical. In addition to practical considerations, such as choice of operating point, painting scheme, RF bunching, and beam scattering, it may be necessary to understand and mitigate collective effects due to space charge, impedances, and electron clouds. At each stage of the power ramp-up, we usemore »« less
Performance improvement of an extraction Lambertson septum magnet in the SNS accumulator ring

Journal Article Wang, Jian-Guang - Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams

The SNS ring Extraction Lambertson Septum magnet contains a strong skew quadrupole term, which has been identified as the source of causing a beam profile distortion on the target. We have performed 3D computer simulations to study the magnetic field quality in the magnet. The skew quad term is computed with different methods in simulations and is compared to measurement data. The origin of the large skew quad term is thoroughly investigated. The remedy for minimizing the skew quad term by modifying the magnet is proposed. Particle tracking is performed to verify the beam profile evolution through the existing andmore »« less
