The fast non-ferric kicker system for the Muon $g-2$ Experiment at Fermilab

We describe the installation, commissioning, and characterization of the new injection kicker system in the Muon $g-2$ Experiment (E989) at Fermilab, which makes a precision measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly. Three Blumlein pulsers drive each of the 1.27-m-long non-ferric kicker magnets, which reside in a storage ring vacuum (SRV) that is subjected to a 1.45 T magnetic field. The new system has been redesigned relative to Muon $g-2$'s predecessor experiment, and we present those details in this manuscript.

Design study of compact Laser-Electron X-ray Generator for material and life science applications

X-Ray generations utilizing Thomson scattering fill in the gap that exists between conventional and synchrotron-based X-ray sources. They are expected to be more intense than X-ray tubes and more compact, accessible and less expensive than synchrotron. In this work, two operation modes of Thomson X-ray source are documented: quasi CW(QCW) and a pulsed one are considered for material sciences and medical applications being implemented currently at Synchrotron Radiation (SR) facilities.

Fundamental limitations in advanced LC schemes

Fundamental limitations in accelerator gradient, emittance, alignment and polarization in acceleration schemes are considered in application for novel schemes of acceleration, including laser-plasma and structure-based schemes. Problems for each method are underlined whenever it is possible. Main attention is paid to the scheme with a tilted laser bunch.

Optical stochastic cooling method in application to the beams of charged particles

We discuss the optical stochastic cooling (OSC) method in applications to the beams of charged particles, circulating in accelerators and storage rings. In this publication we concentrated on various OSC schemes in a diluted beam approximation, when the heating of selected particle by its neighboring ones could be neglected. Even so, this approximation allows us to identify important features in the beam cooling. In the forthcoming publication, on the basis of approach developed here, we will include effects of heating in the dynamics of cooling.

Coherent Radiation in Insertion Devices-II

We represent results of calculations of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) of the relativistic bunch in an undulator with a vacuum chamber of arbitrary cross section with a new algorithm. This algorithm associated with direct calculations of electric field rather than the vector potential. CSR normalized to the incoherent one and compared with analytical calculations for a free space.

Self-Stimulated Undulator Klystron

The Self Stimulated Undulator Klystron (SSUK) and its possible applications in the Particle Accelerator Physics, incoherent Self-Stimulated Undulator Radiation Sources (SSUR) and Free-Electron Lasers (FEL) are discussed.

Coherent Radiation in Insertion Devices

We calculate the coherent radiation in an undulator/wiggler with a vacuum chamber of arbitrary cross section. The backward radiation is a coherent and it has wavelengths about twice the period of the undulator/wiggler. Mostly of coherent radiation is going with the wavelengths approximately the bunch length at small angles however.

TBA Scheme with ION/Proton Driving Beam

We are considering a two-beam accelerator (TBA) scheme with ion or proton beam as a driver. By comparison of the proposed scheme and the one with electron driver, we concluded, that TBA with ion/proton driver beam looks preferable. Existence of big proton accelerators in a few laboratories gives a boost for reconsideration of the baseline for post-LHC era. These Labs are FERMILAB, BNL, CERN and IHEP at Protvino, Moscow region. Protvino could emerge as one advantageous location and get stimulus for recovering the 600GeV-proton synchrotron in the existing~20km-long tunnel. This synchrotron was planned as a booster for 3x3TeV storage ring.

Self-stimulated Emission of Undulator Radiation

We attract attention that interaction of particle in downstream undulator with its own wavelet emitted in upstream undulator could be as strong as with the frictional field in undulator itself. This phenomenon could be used for enhancement of signal from pickup undulators in optical stochastic cooling methods as well as for increase of damping.

Proposal for an Enhanced Optical Cooling System Test in an Electron Storage Ring

We are proposing to test experimentally the new idea of Enhanced Optical Cooling (EOC) in an electron storage ring. This experiment will confirm new fundamental processes in beam physics and will demonstrate new unique possibilities with this cooling technique. It will open important applications of EOC in nuclear physics, elementary particle physics and in Light Sources (LS) based on high brightness electron and ion beams.

Enhanced Optical Cooling of Ion Beams for LHC

The possibility of the enhanced optical cooling (EOC) of Lead ions in LHC is investigated. Non-exponential feature of cooling and requirements to the ring lattice, optical and laser systems are discussed. Comparison with optical stochastic cooling (OSC) is represented.
