Electron cloud dynamics in the Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator wiggler
نویسنده
چکیده
The interference of stray electrons (also called ‘‘electron clouds’’) with accelerator beams is important in modern intense-beam accelerators, especially those with beams of positive charge. In magnetic wigglers, used, for instance, for transverse emittance damping, the intense synchrotron radiation produced by the beam can generate an electron cloud of relatively high density. In this paper the complicated dynamics of electron clouds in wigglers is examined using the example of a wiggler in the Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator experiment at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. Three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations with the WARP-POSINST computer code show different density and dynamics for the electron cloud at locations near the maxima of the vertical wiggler field when compared to locations near the minima. Dynamics in these regions, the electron cloud distribution vs longitudinal position, and the beam coherent tune shift caused by the wiggler electron cloud will be discussed.

The Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) has been reconfigured as an ultra low emittance damping ring for use as a test accelerator (CesrTA) for International Linear Collider (ILC) damping ring R&D [1]. One of the primary goals of the CesrTA program is to investigate the interaction of the electron cloud with low emittance positron beam to explore methods to suppress the electron cloud, develop...

The proposed future International Linear Collider (ILC) will collide electrons and positrons. Because positrons are antimatter, they are harder to produce than electrons and need to be accumulated and conditioned in a damping ring. The Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA) at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) is similar to the damping...

The need to produce intense X-rays in the Energy Recovery Linear Accelerator requires shorter and narrower electron beams than the Cornell Electron Storage Ring can provide. Such electron beams will demand highly accurate beam position monitors (BPMs) to enable operators to control the beam. To prepare for new BPMs, a test stand has been built to conduct experiments on new algorithms and design...

The Cornell electron-positron storage ring (CESR) is a symmetric e+e− collider located on the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, NY. For almost 30 years, the accelerator has been running in the Upsilon energy region from √ s = 9-11 GeV , providing the accompanying detector, CLEO, with data to produce results on B, Υ, τ , charm, and 2-photon physics. Roughly 2 years ago, the accelerator was mo...

Electron clouds pose a significant problem for high-energy lepton colliders, including the proposed International Linear Collider. The Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator is able to study the dynamics of such clouds by measuring their effect on the tune of particle bunch trains. Key parameter values characterizing electron clouds can be estimated using numerical simulations of the ob...
