Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new beam extraction synchronization control system called "Magnetic Cogging" was developed at the Fermilab Booster and it replaces a system called "RF Cogging" as part of the Proton Improvement Plan (PIP). [1] The flux throughput goal for the PIP is 2.2×1017 protons per hour, which is double the present flux. Thus, the flux increase will be accomplished by doubling the number of beam cycles which, in turn, will double the beam loss in the Booster accelerator if nothing else is done.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report on a system to ensure cycle-to-cycle synchronization of beam extraction from the Fermilab Booster accelerator to the Main Injector. Such synchronization is necessary for multiple batch operation of the Main Injector for the Run II upgrade of anti-proton production using slip-stacking in the Main Injector, and for the NuMI (Neutrinos at the Main Injector) neutrino beam. To perform this task a system of fast measurements and feedback controls the longitudinal progress of the Booster beam throughout its acceleration period by manipulation of the transverse position maintained by the LLRF (Low-level Radio Frequency) system.

Book excerpt: The development of magnetic cogging is part of the Fermilab Booster upgrade within the Proton Improvement Plan (PIP). The Booster is going to send 2.25E17 protons/hour which is almost double the present flux, 1.4E17 protons/hour to the Main Injector (MI) and Recycler (RR). The extraction kicker gap has to synchronize to the MI and RR injection bucket in order to avoid a beam loss at the rising edge of the extraction and injection kickers. Magnetic cogging is able to control the revolution frequency and the position of the gap using the magnetic field from dipole correctors while radial position feedback keeps the beam at the central orbit. The new cogging is expected to reduce beam loss due to the orbit changes and reduce beam energy loss when the gap is created. The progress of the magnetic cogging system development is going to be discussed in this paper.

Book excerpt: The Fermilab accelerator is comprised of four major systems: the high-energy beam-extraction and switching system, the main accelerator (main ring), the booster, and the linear accelerator. The Fermilab accelerator produces accelerated beams for a vigorous international high-energy physics program. The basic design features and operation for high-energy physics have been described a number of times in the past. A report is given which, for the most part, discusses in detail only those features that are particularly significant in increasing the usefulness of the accelerator as a tool for high-energy physics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, the 120 GeV Fermilab Main Injector accelerator has accelerated a single batch of protons from the 8 GeV rapid-cycling Booster synchrotron for production of antiprotons for Run II. In the future, the Main Injector must accelerate 6 or more Booster batches simultaneously; the first will be extracted to the antiproton source, while the remaining are extracted for the NuMI/MINOS (Neutrinos at the Main Injector/Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) neutrino experiment. Performing this multi-batch operation while avoiding unacceptable radioactivation of the beamlines requires a previously unnecessary synchronization between the accelerators. We describe a mechanism and present results of advancing or retarding the longitudinal progress of the Booster beam by active feedback radial manipulation of the beam during the acceleration period.
Download or read book FNAL Booster Intensity Extraction and Synchronization Control for Collider Operation written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Booster operation for collider physics is considerably different than for fixed target operation. Various scenarios for collider physics, machine studies, and P-Bar targeting may require that the intensity vary from 5E10 PPP to 3E12 PPP at a 15 Hertz machine cycle rate. In addition to the normal Booster single turn extraction mode, collider operations require that the Booster inject into the Main Ring a small number of beam bunches for coalescing into a single high intensity bunch. These bunches must be synchronized such that the center bunch arrives in the RF bucket which corresponds to the zero phase of the coalescing cavity. The system implemented has the ability to deliver a precise fraction of the available 84 Booster beam bunches to Main Ring or to the P-Bar Debuncher via the newly installed AP-4 beam line for tune-up and studies. It is required that all of the various intensity and extraction scenarios be accommodated with minimal operator intervention.
Download or read book Longitudinal Motion of the Beam in the Fermilab Booster written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Fermilab Booster Accelerator is operated at or above 1.5 x 1012 protons per pulse (extraction current about 155 mA) large amplitude coupled bunch longitudinal dipole oscillations occur between transition and extraction times. The oscillations do not contribute to beam loss in the booster but, because the beam is transferred synchronously into preexisting buckets in the Main Ring, the oscillations contribute to a deterioration of beam quality in the main ring. Two mode numbers have been established for the instabilities and the primary source frequencies have been isolated, although the offending objects have not. Operation of one of the eighteen accelerating cavities at a harmonic number one unit lower than the operating value (83 instead of 84) effectively damps the motion by the introduction bunch to bunch synchrotron tune spread.

Download or read book Momentum Cogging at the Fermilab Booster written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fermilab Booster has an upgrade plan called the Proton Improvement Plan (PIP). The flux throughput goal is 2E17 protons/hour which, is almost double the present flux, 1.1E17 protons/hour. The beam loss in the machine is going to be an issue. The Booster accelerates beam from 400 MeV to 8 GeV and extracts to the Main Injector (MI). The current cogging process synchronizes the extraction kicker gap to the MI by changing radial position of the beam during the cycle. The gap creation occurs at about 700 MeV, which is about 6 ms into the cycle. The cycle-to-cycle variations of the Booster are larger at lower energy. However, changing the radial position at low energy for cogging is limited because of aperture. Momentum cogging is able to move the gap creation to an earlier time by using dipole correctors and radial position feedback, and is able to control the revolution frequency and radial position at the same time. The new cogging is expected to reduce beam loss and not be limited by aperture. The progress of the momentum cogging system development is going to be discussed in this paper.
Download or read book Fermilab Accelerator written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fermilab accelerator has been in operation since 1972. The first operation was at 200 GeV, although the energy was soon raised to a nominal value of 300 GeV. Since July 1975, 400 GeV has been the normal energy. The machine was operated at 500 GeV in May 1976. The accelerator system is composed of a 750-kV Cockcroft--Walton, a 200-MeV linac, an 8-GeV to 15-Hertz booster, and a 500-GeV main ring. The linac injects one pulse into the booster and the booster injects the 8-GeV pulse into the main ring, each using single-turn injection. This process is repeated 13 times to fill the main ring circumference before accelertion begins. A switchyard system splits the extracted beam to 6 different external targets. There is one internal target area with 3 possible targets. The linac can also deliver a 66-MeV beam to a neutron cancer therapy facility and a 200-MeV proton beam to a radiography experiment. A project is being initiated to study electron cooling of 200-MeV protons. Upon successful cooling of protons, studies will begin on the cooling and accumulation of antiprotons. The antiprotons would be injected into the main ring and simultaneously accelerated with protons to produce antiproton-proton colliding beams. Work is in progress at Fermilab on the construction of a 1000-GeV superconducting Energy Doubler/Saver to be installed in the present main-ring tunnel. With both the main ring and energy doubler in the same tunnel, it is obvious proton--proton colliding beams will be possible. The complete system of 1000-GeV fixed-target physics, 250 GeV (main ring) x 1000 GeV (doubler) proton--proton physics and 1000 GeV x 1000 GeV proton--antiproton physics in the doubler has been named the Tevatron.

Download or read book Increasing the Energy of the Fermilab Booster written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fermilab booster accelerator was originally conceived for acceleration of protons with an injection energy of 200 MeV to an extraction energy of ten GeV (to the 500 GeV main accelerator). Early booster operation has been limited to eight GeV. The booster beam will be more acceptable to the main accelerator if extraction is at ten GeV, thus the booster magnet system is now being modified for ten GeV acceleration. Regulation of the booster magnetic field for injection at 200 MeV was a task even when operating to eight GeV. An outline is given of the approach which was adopted and how it relates to the ten GeV attempt. Problems encountered in the design of any ac magnet system are discussed.
Download or read book Fermilab Booster Transition Crossing Simulations and Beam Studies written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fermilab Booster accelerates beam from 400 MeV to 8 GeV at 15 Hz. In the PIP (Proton Improvement Plan) era, it is required that Booster deliver 4.2 x $10^$ protons per pulse to extraction. One of the obstacles for providing quality beam to the users is the longitudinal quadrupole oscillation that the beam suffers from right after transition. Although this oscillation is well taken care of with quadrupole dampers, it is important to understand the source of these oscillations in light of the PIP II requirements that require 6.5 x $10^$ protons per pulse at extraction. This paper explores the results from machine studies, computer simulations and solutions to prevent the quadrupole oscillations after transition.

Download or read book Early Beam Injection Scheme for the Fermilab Booster written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, Fermilab has focused efforts on the intensity frontier physics and is committed to increase the average beam power delivered to the neutrino and muon programs substantially. Many upgrades to the existing injector accelerators, namely, the current 400 MeV LINAC and the Booster, are in progress under the Proton Improvement Plan (PIP). Proton Improvement Plan-II (PIP-II) proposes to replace the existing 400 MeV LINAC by a new 800 MeV LINAC, as an injector to the Booster which will increase Booster output power by nearly a factor of two from the PIP design value by the end of its completion. In any case, the Fermilab Booster is going to play a very significant role for nearly next two decades. In this context, I have developed and investigated a new beam injection scheme called "early injection scheme" (EIS) for the Booster with the goal to significantly increase the beam intensity output from the Booster thereby increasing the beam power to the HEP experiments even before PIP-II era. The scheme, if implemented, will also help improve the slip-stacking efficiency in the MI/RR. Here I present results from recent simulations, beam studies, current status and future plans for the new scheme.
