Title: SLAC Storage Ring Beam Transport Instrumentation and Operation

Abstract

Accelerator beam transport system instrumentation, and operation in general, is a matter of routine engineering. Given sufficient funds and space, an optimum design with maximum effective human interface usually prevails. However, given a very low budget and the criteria that the alternately injected e-, e+ beam be run simultaneously with a minimum of six other primary beams, a deviation from standard design practice and operation philosophy was required. This paper will describe the requirements necessary to bring the alternate e- or e+ beam through the 400 meter long beam transport system with an initial common bend of 48° then a separate bend of 12° each for each of the electron and positron beam paths. The approach to effectively fulfill the operation requirements was a coherent mixture of adding controls to existing similar function panels and a multitask operation chassis. This multitask chassis contains different but interrelated functions in a single panel. The operation of this multitask panel is also operable from the distant and separate SPEAR control room. The deviation of general engineering practices resulted in an optimum performance per cost balance.

Basic Research Needs for Carbon Capture: Beyond 2020

Program Document Alivisatos, Paul ; Buchanan, Michelle

This report is based on a SC/FE workshop on Carbon Capture: Beyond 2020, held March 4–5, 2010, to assess the basic research needed to address the current technical bottlenecks in carbon capture processes and to identify key research priority directions that will provide the foundations for future carbon capture technologies. The problem of thermodynamically efficient and scalable carbon capture stands as one of the greatest challenges for modern energy researchers. The vast majority of US and global energy use derives from fossil fuels, the combustion of which results in the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These anthropogenic emissionsmore »« less

Alternative fuels research guidebook: fuel characterization, instrumentation, engine and vehicle testing

Technical Report Crouse, M E ; Allsup, J R ; Lestz, S S

The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for conducting alternative fuels research or testing activities with automotive engines or vehicles which are generally considered for highway transportation purposes. The document is directed toward those R and D audiences that do not have expensive capabilities and well-focused procedures. The research and evaluation philosophy necessary for high-quality data is described and some suggestions are given which may make the information derived more meaningful. The importance of fuel properties related to alternative and conventional fuels research is discussed. Engine dynamometer operation is covered, including brief discussion of theory, types, and advantagesmore »« less
Gallium arsenide digital integrated circuits for controlling SLAC CW-RF systems

Conference Ronan, M T ; Lee, K L ; Corredoura, P ; ...

In order to fill the PEP and SPEAR storage rings with beams from the SLC linac and damping rings, precise control of the linac subharmonic buncher and the damping ring RF is required. Recently several companies have developed resettable GaAs master/slave D-type flip-flops which are capable of operating at frequencies of 3 GHz and higher. Using these digital devices as frequency dividers, one can phase shift the SLAC CW-RF systems to optimize the timing for filling the storage rings. We have evaluated the performance of integrated circuits from two vendors for our particular application. Using microstrip circuit techniques, we havemore »« less

Technical Design and Optimization Study for the FERMI@Elettra FELPhotoinjector

Technical Report Lidia, Steven M ; Penco, Giuseppe ; Trovo', Mauro

The FERMI {at} Elettra FEL project will provide a novel, x-ray free electron laser user facility at Sincrotrone Trieste based on seeded and cascade FEL techniques. The electron beam source and injector systems play a crucial role in the success of the facility by providing the highest quality electron beams to the linac and FEL undulators. This Technical Note examines the critical technology components that make up the injector system, and demonstrates optimum beam dynamics solutions to achieve the required high quality electron beams. Section 2 provides an overview of the various systems and subsystems that comprise the photoinjector. Themore »« less
