Abstract

Here, and in a sequel, we invoke the invariant spin field to provide an in--depth study of spin motion at and near low order orbital resonances in a simple model for the effects of vertical betatron motion in a storage ring with Siberian Snakes. This leads to a clear understanding, within the model, of the behaviour of the beam polarisation at and near so--called snake resonances in proton storage rings.

Longitudinal beam dynamics with active cavity systems

In storage-ring-based light sources, harmonic cavities are commonly employed to lengthen the bunch, thereby mitigating collective effects and enhancing beam lifetime. However, this dual-RF configuration also introduces significant challenges, as the impedance of the fundamental modes can drive the beam into a longitudinal coupled-bunch instability regime. To mitigate this effect, low-level radio-frequency (LLRF) feedback is proposed to reduce the effective impedance experienced by the beam. This work investigates longitudinal beam dynamics in the PETRA-IV dual-RF system with normal-conducting cavities, explicitly accounting for the LLRF feedback loop. Both analytical modeling and numerical simulations are employed to characterize the onset and growth of coupled-bunch instabilities. The results show that, with appropriately defined LLRF specifications, the destabilizing influence of the cavity fundamental modes can be effectively suppressed, enabling stable operation of the storage ring at the design current. This work highlights the critical role of RF feedback systems in ensuring robust longitudinal stability, thereby supporting the realization of PETRA-IV's design goals and contributing to the broader development of next-generation synchrotron light sources, where high brilliance and operational reliability are essential.

Ionization Profile Monitors for the IOTA Storage Ring at Fermilab

Ionization profile monitors (IPM) are used in many accelerator laboratories around the world for non-destructive profile measurements of high-energy particle beams. They have been used in nearly all the synchrotrons built at Fermilab and are presently used in the Main Injector (MI), Recycler (RR), and Booster. This paper will present the current status of the design of a new pair of IPMs to be installed in the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA), an experimental proton storage ring with a beam energy of 2.5 MeV. The design incorporates aspects of several IPMs previously or currently used at FNAL. Similar to the Booster IPM, ions are collected rather than electrons, thus requiring no external magnetic field. To increase the signal, each IPM uses two microchannel plates in the chevron configuration as is done in the MI/RR IPMs, and due to the ring's ultrahigh vacuum conditions, the local vacuum pressure is increased with a calibrated leak, akin to the former Tevatron IPMs, to increase the ionization yield per bunch. Data acquisition includes upgraded preamplifiers and leveraging of the digitizer design of the beam position monitor system already in use at IOTA. In addition to the mechanical and electronic designs, simulation results of the effects of the electric fields and injected gas on the circulating beam will also be presented.

A 20kA $\pm$0.12% Pulsed Power Supply for the PIP-II ORBUMP Injection Dipole Magnets

Fermilab has embarked on its next evolution for future neutrino experiments through the Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II). The injection system now requires an increase from a 15 Hz to a 20 Hz injection rate with approximately a 30% increase in the field strength from the original Orbital Bump (ORBUMP) dipole magnets in the Booster ring [1]. The four series connected dipoles will require 3 kV, 20 kA, 660 $μ$s pulses at the aforementioned injection rate with a flatness of $\pm$0.12%. This is achieved through a dual-capacitor pulsed power supply (PPS) comprised of ten parallel cells and must last for 25 years. The supply utilizes high-voltage film caps for the rise and fall portion of the waveform; however, it switches over to a 6 F electrolytic capacitor bank for the flattop portion to meet flatness. The supply utilizes energy recovery to reduce high voltage charging supplies and required power to operate.
