Abstract

The cost of building a particle accelerator is a major capital investment. Commissioning should be swift and the subsequent exploitation of a facility must provide an effective return. This return may be difficult to quantify unambiguously but generally acceptable measures of performance can be established. These measures might include: machine availability; integrated luminosity; protons on target; beam hours to users and so on. The role of accelerator operations is to maximize the performance of an accelerator or accelerator complex by: minimizing downtime; maximizing the amount of beam delivered to the users; fully optimizing the quality of beam delivered to the users; and doing it all safely. Accelerators and the control of particles beams have advanced considerably over recent years. There is deep understanding of particle dynamics, innovative measurement techniques, in-depth simulation and modelling, and widespread leverage of Coordinated by M. Lamont.

The High Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility
Christian Baumgarten

2021

The High Intensity Proton Accelerator Facility at PSI routinely produces a proton beam with up to 1.4 MW power at a kinetic energy of 590 MeV. The beam is used to generate neutrons in spallation targets, and pions in meson production targets. The pions decay into muons and neutrinos. Pions and muons are used for condensed matter and particle physics research at the intensity frontier. This section presents the main physics and technology concepts utilized in the facility. It includes beam dynamics and the control of beam losses and activation, power conversion, efficiency aspects, and performance figures, including the availability of the facility.

Accelerator/Experiment Operations - FY 2009
Jeffrey Appel

2009

It is one of a series of annual publications intended to gather information in one place. In this case, the information concerns the FY 2009 Run II at the Tevatron Collider, MINOS using the Main Injector Neutrino Beam (NuMI), the MiniBooNE experiment running in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), and the Meson Test Beam (MTest) activities in the 120 GeV external Switchyard beam (SY120).

Accelerator and Beam Physics Research Goals and Opportunities
Linda Spentzouris

2021

Accelerators are a key capability for enabling discoveries in many fields such as Elementary Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Materials Sciences. While recognizing the past dramatic successes of accelerator-based particle physics research, the April 2015 report of the Accelerator Research and Development Subpanel of HEPAP [1] recommended the development of a long-term vision and a roadmap for accelerator science and technology to enable future DOE HEP capabilities. The present report is a summary of two preparatory workshops, documenting the community vision for the national accelerator and beam physics research program. It identifies the Grand Challenges of accelerator and beam physics (ABP) field and documents research opportunities to address these Grand Challenges. This report will be used to develop a strategic research roadmap for the field of accelerator science. Four accelerator and beam physics grand challenges were identified: Grand Challenge #1: Beam Intensity -"How do we increase beam intensities by orders of magnitude?" Grand Challenge #2: Beam Quality -"How do we increase the beam phase space density by an order of magnitude, towards the quantum degeneracy limit?" Grand Challenge #3: Beam Control -"How do we measure and control the beam distribution down to the individual particle level?" Grand Challenge #4: Beam Prediction -"How do we develop predictive 'virtual particle accelerators'?"

European Strategy for Particle Physics -- Accelerator R&D Roadmap
E. Gschwendtner

2022

The 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics emphasised the importance of an intensified and well-coordinated programme of accelerator R&D, supporting the design and delivery of future particle accelerators in a timely, affordable and sustainable way. This report sets out a roadmap for European accelerator R&D for the next five to ten years, covering five topical areas identified in the Strategy update. The R&D objectives include: improvement of the performance and cost-performance of magnet and radio-frequency acceleration systems; investigations of the potential of laser / plasma acceleration and energy-recovery linac techniques; and development of new concepts for muon beams and muon colliders. The goal of the roadmap is to document the collective view of the field on the next steps for the R&D programme, and to provide the evidence base to support subsequent decisions on prioritisation, resourcing and implementation.

R&D for Future Accelerators
Frank Zimmermann

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2006

Research & development for future accelerators are reviewed. First, I discuss colliding hadron beams, in particular upgrades to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This is followed by an overview of new concepts and technologies for lepton ring colliders, with examples taken from VEPP-2000, DAFNE-2, and Super-KEKB. I then turn to recent progress and studies for the multi-TeV Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). Some generic linear-collider research, centered at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility, is described next. Subsequently, I survey the neutrino factory R&D performed in the framework of the US feasibility study IIa, and I also comment on a novel scheme for producing monochromatic neutrinos from an electron-capture beta beam. Finally, I present innovative ideas for a high-energy muon collider and I consider recent experimental progress on laser and plasma acceleration.

The commissioning of the LHC technical systems
Luigi Serio

2007

The LHC is an accelerator with unprecedented complexity where the energy stored in magnets and the beams exceeds other accelerators by one-to-two orders of magnitude. To ensure a safe and efficient machine start-up without being plagued by technical problems, a phase of "hardware commissioning" was introduced: a thorough commissioning of technical systems without beam. This activity started in June 2005 with the commissioning of individual systems, followed by operating a full sector, one eighth of the machine; the commissioning is expected to last until spring 2008 when commissioning with beam will start. The LHC architecture allows the commissioning of each of the eight sectors independently from the others, before the installation of other sectors is complete. An important effort went into the definition of the programme and the organization of the coordination in the field, as well as in the preparation of the tools to record and analyze test results. This paper discusses the experience with this approach, presents results from the commissioning of the first LHC sector and gives an outlook for future activities.

OPERATIONAL STATUS AND FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS OF THE HIT ACCELERATOR FACILITY
Thomas Haberer

Since November, 15 th 2009 patients are treated with protons and carbon ions at the Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Center (HIT). The accelerator system of the facility – two ion sources, an injector linac and a compact synchrotron – is operated in 24/7-mode, 335 days/year with high availability. In this paper the HIT beam time schedule is discussed along the statistics automatically generated by the control system. In parallel, an upgrade program for the accelerator is under way: at first a test bench for a third ion source, later on dedicated to helium beams, will be used to study several ideas to increase the injector performance including an optimized RFQ structure. Furthermore operation mechanisms are under progress to control directly the synchrotron dipole and quadrupole fields as well as to regulate the spill structure – the aim of both developments is to form a uniform and extremely stable extracted beam with high duty cycle.

Plans for the future of proton accelerators at CERN
Roland Garoby

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2005

The Large Hadron Collider, presently in construction at CERN, will be filled through a set of high performance proton accelerators providing the high brightness beam needed to reach the foreseen luminosity. Although this difficult project has top priority and uses most of the CERN resources, it is nevertheless time investigating improvements of the proton accelerator complex for physical cases beyond the LHC expectations. The needs of multiple physics communities have to be taken into account, as well as the necessity of consolidating the installations while keeping high reliability. This paper starts from the analysis and proposals made by the "High Intensity Proton" (HIP) working group [1, 2] to improve the performances of the PS and the SPS complex and better match the users requests in a staged scenario at short and medium term, and complement it, addressing the main possibilities beyond that horizon.
