Proceedings of the 2005 Particle Accelerator Conference
Year: 2005 | Conference Paper |
Until 2003, the existing configuration of the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center (LANSCE) switchyard did not allow simultaneous delivery of the H−beam to Lines D and X. In the late 1990’ s, with increased activities in Areas B and C, which serve the ultracold neutron experiments (UCN) and proton radiography (pRad), respectively, planning began to increase beam availability to all areas by instal...Show More

The LANSCE (Los Alamos Neutron Science Center) control system upgrade program continues with the impending replacement of the RICE (Remote Instrumentation and Control Equipment) subsystem. The RICE subsystem upgrade is a challenge because of its technology (late 1960's), number of channels (>10,000), and unique characteristics (all-modules data takes, timed/flavored data takes). The plan is to rep...Show More

Beam-breakup calculations for the DARHT accelerator

Year: 1991 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (8)
An induction line that will accelerate a 4-MeV, 3-kA beam of electrons to 16- to 20-MeV in 64 gaps is modeled. To suppress beam-breakup (BBU) instabilities induced by excitation of RF deflecting modes, the growth factor Gamma must be kept sufficiently small (e.g. <3). On prototype DARHT cavities, RF measurements have shown that the normally degenerate TM modes are split in frequency by the asymmet...Show More

An algorithm is described which rapidly finds a catalog of approximate transverse beam matching solutions. For a given initial beam, the algorithm finds the gradients of four quadrupole magnets so as to get four Twiss parameters (alpha and beta for horizontal and vertical planes) which are close to a set of desired values at the exit of a constant-energy beam line with no horizontal-vertical cross...
