Description

Overview

Following the success of the 2016 Slow Extraction Workshop (GSI, Germany), CERN is organising a 2017 edition.

The 2017 workshop will be held at CERN, and will address topical issues associated with Slow Extraction, as well as providing a forum for discussing between experts in this specialised domain.

The Slow Extraction Workshop 2017 is organised under the auspices of ICFA and ARIES (the successor of EuCARD2). It is supported by the CERN Physics Beyond Colliders study.

        IHEP SE Overview 20+5’ 25m

        The report overviews stochastic SE system employed at the U-70 proton synchrotron in Protvino (Russia). The beam fraction extracted is driven diffusively along momentum axis (upward, traversing empty RF buckets en route) to the 3rd integer horizontal resonance. To this end, a baseband phase noise over a non-random carrier in an auxiliary RF system is applied. Spill flattop and suppression of its lower-frequency ripples is managed with a dedicated feedback circuit.

        A passive scattering device (diffuser) can be used to reduce septum beamloss. The talk describes the underlying physics processes, and investigates the dependence on the diffuser geometry, material and location. Numerical simulations to quantify the expected performance gain for the optimum configuration are presented, and the progress with the realisation of a prototype for deployment in the SPS presented.

        Slow extraction efficiency measurement 15+5' 20m

        The high efficiency of most slow extraction systems make quantifying the exact amount of beam lost in the process extremely challenging. This is compounded by the lack of time structure in the extracted beam, as is typically requested by high energy physics users, and the difficulty in accurately calibrating d.c. intensity monitors at count rates of ~ 1E13 Hz. Common techniques used to quantify the slow extraction efficiency and their accuracies will be briefly reviewed before recent measurements and studies carried at the SPS are presented and the difficulties encountered are discussed.

        Translation vs. diffusion -driven 3rd integer extraction 15+5' 20m

        The talk discusses pro et contra for implementing either translational of diffusive fluxes to feed the 3rd order resonance for a slow extraction. The outcomes are applicable to both momentum or amplitude techniques of forcing beam edge to the extraction mechanism, and are supported by observations and experience gained at the U70 proton synchrotron.

        Experimental requirements on spill quality 15+5' 20m

        We will present a short overview of the experimental requirements on the spill quality with an emphasis on the CERN North Area experiments. Together with a short introduction of categories of users at CERN, the main characteristics of the experiments concerning instantaneous intensity, monitoring and impact of non-flat spill structures will be discussed. Finally, a list of possible inprovements concludes the talk.

        Spill control at the Marburg Ion-Beam Therapy Centre 15 + 5` 20m

        At the p/12C6+ synchrotron of the Marburg Ion-Beam Therapy Centre we use slow extraction by transverse noise (KO-) excitation. The system is equipped with a Dynamic Intensity Control (DIC) loop allowing fast modulation of the spill rate during extraction. By careful adjustment of the exciter noise spectrum relative to the small-amplitude particle tune and the extraction tune, it is possible to optimise the response of the system to the DIC set-point. Presently, an experiment involving a fast air-core-quadrupole (ACQ) magnet is being developed in order to measure the effects of fast coherent tune shifts on the spill structure. The experiments will allow to study the interplay of the ACQ with the KO exciter and DIC.

        Activation monitoring and prediction models 15+5' 20m

        The unavoidable beam loss intrinsic to the slow extraction process activates the extraction region and its equipment, which is particularly troublesome with the high energy and intensity of the 400 GeV proton beam at the CERN SPS. Although the radiation dose to equipment has an impact on availability, the cool-down time required to limit the dose to personnel carrying-out maintenance also poses important restrictions, and will ultimately limit the number of protons that can be slow extracted in the future. In view of recent requests for higher intensities this year and into the next decade, a study was launched to model the build-up and subsequent cool-down of the induced radioactivity of the SPS slow extraction extraction straight (LSS2) as a function of the proton flux and extraction efficiency. A model based on a simple empirical relationship has been developed and shown to reliably predict the measured radioactivity. The empirical model is described, its strengths and limitations discussed, and its application as a predictive tool demonstrated.

        Low-Z septa (C wires, Ti cathodes, tanks) 15+5' 20m

        In the framework of the CERN Beam Dump Facility (BDF) it is mandatory to limit the activation of the slow extraction equipment installed in the SPS to allow reasonable intervention times in case of need, as well as to limit dose for maintenance personnel in general. The talk will explore possibilities to limit the residual activation of the extraction equipment, the electrostatic septa in particular, by choosing suitable construction materials. The talk will conclude with a proposal for an innovative low activation test facility
