Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the current state of work in progress with respect to the geometry, alignment requirements, scenarios, and hardware for meeting the tolerances of the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) at SLAC. The methods and systems proposed acknowledge that component motion at the micron level, from whatever cause (ground motion, thermal effects, etc.) must be measured on-line and compensated for on relatively short time scales. To provide an integrated alignment/positioning package, some unique designs for reference systems, calibration of effect electric and magnetic centers, and component movers are introduced. 24 refs., 28 figs.

Download or read book Beam based Magnetic Alignment of the Final Focus Test Beam written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to optimize tunability and backgrounds in linear collider final focus systems, it is necessary to align strong quadrupole and sextupole magnets with beam-based measurements. Algorithms for alignment have been used successfully on the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) beamline at SLAC. Quadrupole magnets were aligned using a shunt technique, with resolutions from 50 microns down to 700 nanometers. Sextupole magnets were aligned by moving the magnets transverse to the beam and observing the kick on downstream beam position monitors. This procedure resulted in sextupole misalignment resolutions of 5 to 20 microns. All magnets were then moved into aligned positions via remote-controlled stages capable of sub-micron resolution. Details of the fitting algorithms, results of the measurement, and potential improvements in the system are discussed.

Download or read book Synchrotron Radiation Sources A Primer written by Herman Winick and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1995-02-28 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specialists in the technical components of a synchrotron light source are usually well versed in their field and in the associated technical literature. However, with the rapid and continuing growth of synchrotron radiation research, and with new facilities coming online and being authorized for design and construction around the world, there is a need for a reference book that describes the various technical components of a synchrotron light source in a manner that will be useful to those who lack specialized technical background, but who have responsibility for some part of the design, construction, operation or development of such a facility. This would include technicians, engineers and physicists who have technical background in related fields but no specific experience with a synchrotron light source, and also project managers, laboratory directors, and government officials involved with synchrotron light facilities.College level scientific or engineering training or the equivalent experience is assumed and appropriate mathematics is used throughout. However, the basic concepts in each chapter are given in less technical language and a glossary of terms as well as an index will make the book useful for those with less technical training or experience.
Download or read book Beam based Alignment of the Final Focus Test Beam written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beam-based alignment of quadrupole and sextupole magnets is crucial for the overall performance of linear collider final focus systems, especially for elimination of backgrounds and higher-order aberrations. At the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB), alignment tolerances required for achieving the desired spot size are 100 microns in the horizontal and 30 microns in the vertical. Using a combination of independent magnet power supplies, hi-h-resolution stripline beam position monitors and precision magnet movers, the FFTB can be aligned to these tolerances in about 8 hours. Description of the algorithm, presentation of alignment results, and possible improvements to the system are discussed.
Download or read book Final Focus Test Beam Alignment written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Final Focus Test Beam is a transport line designed to transmit 50 GeV electron beams of SLC emittance (3 x 10−1° radian-meters) straight through the central arm of the Beam Switchyard (BSY C line) with a final focus point out in the Research Yard but relatively near the end of the switchyard tunnel. The hardware, methods and procedures outlined in this proposal are dedicated to measuring the placement of mechanical objects with respect to certain defined geometric axes. We wish to emphasize that the very difficult problems of locating the effective magnetic axes of focusing elements, the effective electrical center of beam position monitors and even the effective axis of the incident beam relative to mechanical reference surfaces is outside the scope of this work. Further, this proposal is restricted to the act of measurement and does not consider the vital task of on-line mechanical repositioning of elements that will, in likelihood, be called upon during operation of the system. 16 refs., 16 figs., 4 tabs.

Download or read book The Final Focus Test Beam Laser Referene System written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original design for the SLAC linac included an alignment reference system with 270 diffraction gratings situated along the 3000 meter linac. These gratings have provided SLAC with a global reference line repeatable to within 200 micro meters. For the Final Focus Test Beam, this laser system has been extended and 13 new diffraction gratings have been installed. Improvements targets and the availability of new instruments allows us to evaluate the performance of the laser reference system at the 510 micro meter level. An explanation of the system and the results of our evaluation are presented.
Download or read book Alignment of the SLC Final Focus System Using Beam Orbits written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beam based alignment is being routinely applied in the SLC Final Focus and has proved to be a very useful tool for determining the quality of the zeroth order orbit as defined by various beam line elements. Given the stringent requirement on the beam quality at the interaction point, a well aligned beam line is essential in that it minimizes the confusion which would otherwise arise in the higher order optics, the demand called on the correctors which also serve as optical knobs, and the problem associated with the background radiation. In the SLC final focus we have been relying on an interplay between the field survey and the orbit analysis to achieve this purpose. Mechanical alignment generally provides coordinate information of various beam line elements and offset values inferred from these data and the model of the beam line. Beam based alignment is done mainly by recording the beam orbit under controlled experiment where optical elements or orbit conditions are varied. Due to the complexity of the beamline layout and special power supply configuration in the SLC Final Focus, the latter method is useful only when coupled with off-line analysis which disentangles the data taken at each measurement. In this report we describe the techniques used and the underlying principle, the procedure as applied in the Final Focus, the outcome of this exercise and some problems encountered. 6 figs.

Book excerpt: The goal of the Final Focus Test Beam experiment (FFTB) is to produce an electron beam spot of 1 .mu.m by 60 nm in transverse dimensions. In the future linear collider of TeV region (TLC), a typical spot size of 100 nm by 1 nm at the interaction point is required to get luminosity of 1 x 1034cm/sup /minus/2/s/sup /minus/1/. This spot size is about 1/1000 of the SLC in the vertical dimension, and is demanding for an optics design, alignments, beam diagnostics, and tuning procedures. The spot size of the FFTB will be an important next step from the SLC toward the TLC. This paper describes the design of the beam optics. 11 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a new extraction line currently under construction, the ATF2 experiment plans to test the novel compact final focus optics design with local chromaticity correction intended for use in future linear colliders. With a 1.3 GeV design beam of 30nm normalized vertical emittance extracted from the ATF damping ring, the primary goal is to achieve a vertical spot-size at the IP waist of 37nm. We discuss our planned strategy for tuning the ATF2 beam to meet the primary goal. Simulation studies have been performed to asses the effectiveness of the strategy, including 'static' (installation) errors and dynamical effects (ground-motion, mechanical vibration, ring extraction jitter etc.). We have simulated all steps in the tuning procedure, from initial orbit establishment to final IP spot-size tuning. Through a Monte Carlo study of 100's of simulation seeds we find we can achieve a spot-size within (almost equal to)10% of the design optics value in at least 75% of cases. We also ran a simulation to study the long-term performance with the use of beam-based feedbacks.
