Beam diagnostic beamlines at HEPS storage ring
325
High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a 6 GeV dif-fraction limited storage ring light source. An ultralow emittance of ~34 pm·rad is designed with a multiple-bend achromat lattice at storage ring. The transverse beam sizes at the dipoles will be less than 10 µm. In order to measure such small beam sizes in both directions, an X-ray beam diagnostic beamline is designed with bend-ing magnet as source point. X-ray pinhole imaging and KB mirror imaging are used compatibly and comparably to capture beam image. A visible light beam diagnostic beamline is designed to measure bunch length with streak camera. During the first phase storage ring commissioning time, both diagnostic beamlines captured the first light.

Direct measurement of the longitudinal emittance for a proton beam at exit of a radio frequency quadrupole
472
Clarifying the longitudinal phase space distribution at the exit of a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) is crucial for precise beam tuning to minimize beam loss in a high-power superconducting linac. In this contribution, we introduce a method for direct measurement of the longitudinal emittance of a proton beam at the RFQ exit, which delivers an output energy of 1.51 MeV. Initially, we developed a bunch shape monitor (BSM) inspired by Feschenko’s design, achieving a resolution of 20 picoseconds. To conduct the direct measurement of longitudinal emittance, we integrate this BSM with a waist-to-waist beam transfer matrix, an energy-spread dipole, and a horizontal slit with a 0.2 mm width. The horizontal slit is positioned at the first waist at the dipole’s input, while the BSM wire is situated at the second waist, at the dipole’s output. This arrangement, enhanced by the waist-to-waist transfer matrix, improves the energy spread resolution to 0.01%. Using the BSM wire, we measure the energy spread and horizontal profile. Through adjusting the buncher voltage and synchronous phase, we use dipole and BSM to measure different longitudinal emittances and ascertain the effects of bunching and debunching conditions on the longitudinal phase space. Consequently, this comprehensive direct measurement setup for longitudinal emittance serves to elucidate the impact of RFQ and buncher on the longitudinal phase space distribution within a medium-energy beam transport (MEBT) system.

Design and first results of a cryogenic beam loss monitor installed at the LHC
522
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is equipped with NiTb superconducting magnets operating at the cryogenic temperature of 2.9 K. A tiny fraction of proton beam at 7 TeV impacting the magnet coils has the potential to generate enough heat, leading to the loss of superconductivity in the magnets. Consequently, it is imperative for machine performance to detect such beam losses before the quench event occurs. To enhance the sensitivity of magnet quench detection through the measurement of beam losses, ongoing efforts focus on the development of cryogenic beam loss monitors. This contribution outlines the design improvements made to a semiconductor-based beam loss detector installed inside the magnet cryostat, positioned just outside the vacuum vessel of the superconductive LHC dispersion suppressor magnets.

Measurement of beam energy characteristics at the LHe-free Nb3Sn demo SRF e-linac
623
The demonstration of a 100 mA, 4.6 MeV superconducting radio frequency linear electron accelerator, based on conduction cooling and developed by the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), aims to validate the feasibility of stable beam commissioning in a liquid helium-free 5-cell-$\beta$opt=0.82 Nb3Sn elliptical cavity, and to offer guidance for subsequent industrial applications. The beam energy characteristics, considered one of the critical parameters, need to be precisely measured. Given the high beam energy and the need for a compact, straightforward accelerator layout, we achieved high-precision measurements using only a ordinary dipole, a slit, and a Faraday Cup (FC). This paper presents the online measurement results of beam energy at different cavity voltage and provides a thorough analysis and optimization of the various errors encountered during measurement.
