Radiation field simulation of C-ADS Injector II

The injector of C-ADS (Chinese Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System) project is a high current, fully super-conducting proton accelerator. Meanwhile, a BLM system is indispensable to this facility, especially in low energy segments. This paper presents some basic simulations for 10MeV proton by Monte Carlo program FLUKA, as well as the distributions on different secondary particles in three aspects: angular, energy spectrum and current. These results are beneficial to selecting the detector type and its location and determining its dynamic range matching different requirements for both fast and slow beam loss. Further, the major impact of the background is analyzed, such as superconducting cavity X radiation and radiation caused by material activation, in this paper as well. This work is meaningful in BLM system research.

Analytic modeling of instabilities driven by higher-order modes in HLS II RF system with a higher-harmonic cavity

The utility of a passive fourth-harmonic cavity plays key role in suppressing longitudinal beam instabilities in the electron storage ring and lengthens the bunch by a factor of 2.6 for the phase II project of Hefei Light Source(HLS II). Meanwhile, instabilities driven by higher-order modes(HOM) may limit the performance of the higher-harmonic cavity. In this paper, the parasitic coupled-bunch instability which is driven by narrow band parasitic modes and the microwave instability which is driven by broadband HOM are both modeled analytically. The analytic modeling results are in good agreement with that of our previous simulation study and indicate that the passive fourth-harmonic cavity suppresses parasitic coupled-bunch instabilities and the microwave instability. The modeling suggests that a fourth-harmonic cavity may be successfully used at HLS II.

Ramping Control of HLS Storage Ring

HLS (Hefei Light Source) is a second generation synchrotron radiation source. After injected into the storage ring at energy of 200MeV, the electrons will be ramped to 800MeV. During ramping, the magnetic fields of the bend, quadruple and sextuple magnets are ramped up synchronously to keep the working point of the storage ring unchanged. This process is carefully controlled by HLS control system, which is built under EPICS. Several measures are taken to insure the synchronization and linearity of the ramping.

Injection Control System of HLS Storage Ring

The injection control system of Hefei Light Source (HLS) storage ring is a subsystem of the upgraded HLS control system, which is based upon EPICS. Three programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used as device controllers, which control one septum modulator and four kicker modulators of HLS storage ring. An Industrial PC is used as Input/Output Controller (IOC) and it connects the PLCs with serial communication (RS232 mode) over fibre. A PC with Linux is used as operator interface (OPI), operator application are running on it. The control system was completed in July 2000. The commissioning shows that the control system is reliable and easy operational.
