Design of the 15 GHz BPM test bench for the CLIC test facility to perform precise stretched-wire RF measurements

چکیده
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) requires a low emittance beam transport and preservation, thus a precise control of the beam orbit along up to 50 km of the accelerator components in the sub-μm regime is required. Within the PACMAN3 (Particle Accelerator Components Metrology and Alignment to the Nanometer Scale) PhD training action a study with the objective of pre-aligning the electrical centre of a 15 GHz cavity beam position monitor (BPM) to the magnetic centre of the main beam quadrupole is initiated. Of particular importance is the design of a specific test bench to study the stretched-wire setup for the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) BPM, focusing on the aspects of microwave signal excitation, transmission and impedance-matching, as well as the mechanical setup and reproducibility of the measurement method.

The 30 Ghz Transfer Structure for the Clic Study
In the so-called “Two-Beam Acceleration Scheme” the energy of a drive beam is converted to rf power by means of a “Transfer Structure”, which plays the role of power source. In The Transfer Structure the bunched drive beam is decelerated by the electromagnetic field which it induces and builds up by the coherent interaction of successive bunches with the chosen longitudinal mode. The CLIC Trans...
متن کاملMeasuring the Bunch Frequency Multiplication at Ctf3
The CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3) is being built and commissioned by an international collaboration to test the feasibility of the proposed Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) drive beam generation scheme. Central to this scheme is the use of RF deflectors to inject bunches into a delay loop and a combiner ring, in order to transform the initial bunch frequency of 1.5 GHz from the linac to a final bun...

The objectives of the CLIC Test Facility (CTF) are to study the generation of short intense electron bunches using a laser driven photocathode in an RF gun, to generate 30 GHz RF power for high gradient tests of prototype CLIC components, and to test beam position monitors. The performance of the CTF has improved dramatically in the course of the past year and highlights are presented here. The...
متن کاملAn Overview of the New Clic Test Facility (ctf3)
The CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) RF power source is based on a new scheme of electron pulse compression and bunch frequency multiplication, in which the drive beam time structure is obtained by the combination of electron bunch trains in isochronous rings. The next CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN will be built in order to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the scheme. It will also con...

In the framework of the CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) RF power source studies, the scheme of electron pulse compression and bunch frequency multiplication, using injection by RF deflectors into an isochronous ring, will be tested, at low charge, during the preliminary phase of the new CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN. In this paper, we describe the beam dynamics studies made in order to asses...
