and short bunches.

Beam-Beam Simulation using Particle-In-Cell Method

1) Both beams are represented macro particles (160,000)

strong-strong

2) A bunch is divided into some slices which include many macro-particles. Collision is calculated with every pair of slices in the time sequence.

3) The distribution of particles in slice is used to solve two-dimensional Poisson equation on a regular grid (128x128).

Design of ILC Damping Ring to Improve Dynamic Aperture

0.5 km• Dynamic aperture of the DESY

dogbone damping ring is not adequate with nonlinear wigglers in the lattice.

• We designed a new damping ring based on a detuned cell and non-interlaced sextupoles.

• The new design significantly improves the dynamic aperture of on-momentum particles as shown in the figure.

• We are planning to improve further the dynamic aperture of the off-momentum particles, analyze tolerance of the lattice, and make a specification of wigglers.

“Dark current” electrons emitted from irises of a high frequency accelerating structure may have various deleterious effects, one of which is an interaction with the primary electron (or positron) bunch. Kicks to the beam centroid caused by the field of the dark current dilute the beam emittance. Our simulations showed that contribution of dark currents is small compared to other sources of emittance growth. This may impact Multi-TeV High Gradient Designs. Breakdown currents will almost certainly cause missing pulses

Suppression of the secondary electron emission is an important technique of mitigating deleterious effect of the electron cloud in modern accelerators. We proposed to suppress effective SEY by using grooves on the surface of the metal. The suppression factor depends on the angle of the grooves, and can reach ~2 for 40 degrees angle.

Dust particle dynamics in storage ringsA model of the dust particle dynamics explaining the long time of the dust events observed in the PEP-II B-factory and BEPC-II machines has been developed. Previous models predicted that dust particles should burn down in ~50 s. The new model includes into consideration large-amplitude 2D oscillations of a dust particle in the electric field of the beam.

• Onset of instability developing from initial noise after a fraction of synchrotron period.

• Saturation of instability causes smoothing of microbunching and enlargement of rms bunch-length.

Nonlinear regime of ion instability in electron rings

An observed transverse instability in BESSY-II is explained as an ion instability in the ring. A simplified model of the instability shows a pattern qualitatively similar to the experimental results. The developed approach allows analyze the nonlinear regime of the instability, and could provide a new method of diagnostic of the beam parameters.

Surface roughness impedance of the LCLS undulator vacuum chamber

An examples of the measured roughness profile. The rms roughness ~20 nm, rms slope ~2.10-3

Surface roughness in the LCLS undulator vacuum chamber generates geometrical wakefield which induces energy spread in the beam. The theory of roughness wake predicts that the wake decreases with rms height of the bumps and the average slope.

Developed a computer program for processing roughness measurements of the undulator surface and will use it for monitoring the requirements in the production cycle.
