Abstract:
High time-stability performance of the injection kicker system is important for the Beijing Electron Positron Collider Upgrade Project (BEPCⅡ), with jitter and drift less than ±5ns. In order to compensate the delay time drift of thyratron on the kicker pulsed power supply, a drift stabilizer is developed. The test results meet the demand of design by regulation resolution=1ns, jitter+drift <2ns in 8 hours. The detailed design of the time-drift stabilizer will be described in this paper.

Abstract:
The BEPCⅡ is the upgrade project of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC). According to the BEPCⅡ double ring design scheme, a new ring will be added in the existing BEPC tunnel. The machine will provide electron and positron beams with an energy range from 1.0GeV to 2.1GeV for high energy physics research, and an electron beam of 2.5GeV, 250mA for synchrotron radiation. So actually there are three storage rings for the BEPCⅡ machine. Due to the limited space of the existing BEPC tunnel and the requirement of high luminosity, the antechamber type vacuum chamber is used, that makes the BEPCⅡ magnets' design and fabrication very difficult. In the paper the general features of the design and fabrication of several kinds of main magnets for the BEPCⅡ storage ring and its interaction region are introduced. And the magnetic field measurement results are presented.

Abstract:
The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) is a high beam power proton accelerator. The task of RCS injection system is to inject the negative hydrogen ions coming from linac into RCS by stripping method. This power supply demands that its output pulse current falling edge be controlled by the program. The power supply uses the IGBT power amplifying method to generate the pulse current and makes it follow the setting waveform by the power supply's feedback control system. The tracking error is one of the important specifications of the power supply. To satisfy the tracking error less than 2%, the frequency of the IGBT topology requested is more than 400kHz. The IGBT topology is connected by the IGBT H bridges in series and parallel, and works in the phase shifted method to divide the current, the voltage and improve the equivalent frequency. High power, high frequency, fast speed response and optimal feedback control strategy are the key to the good performance of painting bumper magnets pulsed power supply.

Abstract:
This paper concentrates on investigating the mechanical stability of a Beam Position Monitor (BMP) support prototype of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) project. Both finite element analysis and vibration measurements have been performed. Inconsistent results between the simulations and experiments motivate us to study three connections between the support and the ground: ground bolt (used in the initial design), part grout and full grout (proposed in the later research). After changing the connection,
the first eigenfrequency is increased from 20.2Hz to 50.2Hz, and the ratio of the integrated RMS displacement (4—50Hz) is decreased from 4.36 to 1.23 in the lateral direction. The mechanical stability is improved greatly.

With the calculation and measuring experiment methods, the effect of vacuum chamber materials' magnetic permeability on field distribution in a dipole magnet is discussed. The results show that when the relative magnetic permeability of chamber material μr≠1, it will affect the field uniformity. Once the high field uniformity is required, the material property and size of vacuum chamber in a dipole magnet have to be taken into account carefully.

Abstract:
The beam must be extracted into the air through the vacuum window to irradiate the living cell. In the window design, the material and thickness must be chosen to compromise the beam spot size broadening and the window safety. The structure-static analysis on the window of different structures and materials is done with the finite element analysis method, and the deformation and the equivalent stress are simulated. The safety of these candidates is investigated using the intensity theory. In addition, the small angle scattering and the transverse range of ions are simulated using SRIM code, including all the effects on the beam spot size broadening, such as the incident ion energy, the material and the thickness of the window and the air composing. At last, the appropriate vacuum windows are presented, including the structure, material and thickness.

The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a third-generation synchrotron radiation light source with 3.5GeV in energy, which is composed of the linear accelerator, the booster and the storage ring. The storage ring provides 16 standard straight sections of 6.5m and 4 long straight sections of 12 meters. Gas Bremsstrahlung (GB) produced by the interaction of the stored beam with the residual gas molecules in straight section, which is so intense and has a very small angular that the GB spectra, the GB power and the GB power distribution should be known. The characters of GB are studied by means of Fluka Monte Carlo code. Our result shows agreement with those obtained by the experiential formulae.

Abstract:
This study investigated the characteristics of bremsstrahlung and induced neutrons from the electron storage ring in the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). The EGSnrc and MCNP Monte Carlo code has been used to perform the assess neutron and photon dose profiles for a variety of shield materials ranging from 5 to 115cm thick. The Monte Carlo simulations show that single material such as lead, iron and polyethylene have been found to be ineffective biological shield materials, while the mixed materials serve as effective shields for shielding high energy neutron. Mixed materials such as lead or iron combined with polyethylene or with concrete are good materials combination for high energy neutron radiation shield. And high-Z materials such as lead or iron combine with low-Z material containing some hydrogen such polyethylene are effective for shielding high energy neutrons as well as bremsstrahlung.

Abstract:
There exists strong electromagnetic radiation in inductive energy storage accelerators. It can destroy a measuring device at a distance.By repeated experiments, we found that it is a wide-spectrum electromagnetic wave with a main frequency of 75MHz. The effector such as coaxial transmission line is effected strongly in short distance.The current in the coaxial transmission line can be measured in Rogowski coils. The strength of field in it is about 500V/m and the peak current is 217mA. The radiation source may be LC oscillating or electric exploding opening switch. Through the experimental research, we think it probably may be caused by the LC oscillating in the circuit when the switches
conduct. And its strength is correlated to current change ratio. The change rate in secondary circuit is stronger than in primary circuit. So the radiation generated in secondary circuit is stronger than in primary circuit. It may be a reference for further research in inductive energy storage accelerators and
shielding electromagnetic disturbing.

Abstract:
For the development of high energy physics, it is needed to improve the performance of the relativistic electron bunch. The measurement of the ultrashort relativistic electron pulse becomes one of the key technologies. The electro-optic sampling measurement of relativistic electron pulses is a promising method. This method is nondestructive, non-intrusive, and real-time monitoring. Distance and angles of the reference frames will cause system deviations. In this paper these system deviations are analyzed by simulation. It provides a reference for the experiment.

Abstract:
The beam horizontal orbit at Hefei Light Source (HLS) was drifting all along while the storage ring was operating. To study this phenomenon, the displacement and the temperature variation of the BPM chamber were measured. By analyzing the measurement results, the main reason that explained the drifting phenomenon was found. The vacuum chamber following the dipole magnets was heated by the synchrotron light, which caused the increasing of the chamber surface temperature. The variation of the chamber temperature was
the main reason why the BPM chamber held the horizontal displacement. To suppress the orbit drifting, a compensation method of BPM movement was proposed and its experimental results were given.

Abstract:
The tolerances of the manufacture and installation errors and Dees deformation caused by gravity in RF cavity of CYCIAE-100 are investigated. Both the analytic treatment and numerical simulation are carried out to give the tolerance of the manufacture and installation errors which disturb the radial and vertical motion of the beam. The Dees deformation caused by gravity leads to axial misalignment of the Dees and then induces the build-up of coherent axial oscillations. However, the calculated results show that the deformation of our Dees is acceptable.

Results show that under certain parameter conditions the threshold for damaging the electronic circuits decreases with the decrease of the frequency of the high-power microwave. In addition, the oscillation amplitudes of the plasma electrons increase dramatically when the plasma frequency is near the high-power microwave frequency, which can easily damage the electronic circuits.

In this paper, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm is employed to simulate microwave pulse coupling into the dielectric slot on a rectangular cavity. We investigate the factors that influence the coupling resonant peak and resonant frequency of the dielectric slot, including the slot length, slot width, and relative dielectric constant. Numerical results show that the equation of resonant frequency for microwave coupling into the dielectric slot is modified.

Abstract:
In this paper, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm is employed to simulate microwave pulse coupling into the rectangular cavity with aperture arrays. In the case in which the long-side of the slot in aperture arrays is perpendicular to the incident electrical field, and the electrical distribution of each center of slot in the aperture arrays in the process of microwave pulse coupling into the rectangular cavity with aperture arrays is analyzed in detail. We find that the effect of field enhancement of the slot in the middle of all the slots which distribute in the direction parallel to the incident electrical field is minimum and increases in turn from the middle to both sides symmetrically. We
also find that the effect of field enhancement of the slot in the middle of all the slots which distribute in the direction perpendicular to the incident electrical field is maximum and decreases in turn from the middle to both sides symmetrically. In the same time, we investigate the factors that influence the effect of field enhancement of the center of each slot and the coupling electrical distribution in the cavity, including the number of slots and the spacing between slots.

The intense dc beam transport in the solenoid lenses is analyzed with the Lie algebraic method, and the transfer matrix with space charge effects is obtained. Two cases are considered: one of them is that the external focusing force is greater than the space charge force; another is that the external force is less than the space charge force. The theoretical results are coded and used in the calculations of a low energy beam transport after the ECR ion source.

The undulator is the key component in the compact THz radiation source based on FEL. By matching the adjustable period magnetic field of the undulator with the optical resonance cavity, the passing electron beam will generate coherent radiation with gain, and the radiation power required by THz source can be achieved finally. Compared with the pure permanent magnet type, the hybrid type undulator can decrease the field errors caused by non-homogeneous magnetization of magnetic blocks, and provide higher magnetic field. The conceptual design of a hybrid undulator used for THz radiation source is introduced. We use the FEM code OPERA/TOSCA to simulate 3D magnetic field of the undulator. After optimizing the end structure of the hybrid undulator, the first field integrals is controlled within 0.01Gs﹒m, and the deviation of the electron beam is less than 0.02mm.

Abstract:
Injection and extraction are usually the key systems in circular accelerators. They play important roles in transferring the beam from one stage acceleration to the other or to experimental stations. It is also in the injection and extraction regions where beam losses happen mostly. Due to the tight space and to reduce the perturbation to the circulating orbit, the devices are usually designed to meet special requirements such as compactness, small stray field, fast rise time or fall time, etc. Usual injection and extraction devices include septum magnets, kicker magnets, electrostatic deflectors, slow bump magnets and strippers. In spite of different accelerators and specification for the injection and extraction devices, many techniques are shared in the design and anufacturing. This paper gives a general review on the techniques employed in the major
circular accelerators in China.

Abstract:
The micro-beam irradiation system, which focuses the beam down to micron order and precisely delivers a predefined number of ions to a predefined spot of micron order, is a powerful tool for radio-biology, radio-biomedicine and micromachining. The Institute of Modern Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences is developing a heavy-ion micro-beam irradiation system up to intermediate energy. Based on the intermediate and low energy beam provided by Heavy Ion Research Facility of Lanzhou, the micro-beam system takes the form of the magnetic focusing. The heavy-ion beam is conducted to the basement by a symmetrical achromatic system consisting of two vertical bending magnets and a quadrupole in between. Then a beam spot of micron order is formed by a magnetic triplet quadrupole of very high
gradient. The sample can be irradiated either in vacuum or in the air. This system will be the first opening platform capable of providing heavy ion micro-beam, ranging from low (10MeV/u) to intermediate energy (100MeV/u), for irradiation experiment with positioning and counting accuracy. Target material may be biology cell, tissue or other non-biological materials. It will be a help for unveiling the essence of heavy-ion interaction with matter and also a new means for exploring the application of heavy-ion irradiation.

This paper presents new beam test results for O+ beam on a high current Integral Split Ring Radio Frequency Quadruple (ISR RFQ) accelerator. After the upgrading, a new designed 2.45GHz O+ ECR Ion Source can provide a beam with macro-pulse peak current of 4mA at the injection point behind a 15mm diaphragm, whose O+ factor is 60%—80% varied with gas flow rate and the normalized rms emittance is less than 0.15πmm﹒mrad. The accelerated O+ beam current goes up to 2mA with the transmission of about 80% at 45kW RF power with duty factor 1/6 (pulse duration of 1ms and repetition frequency of 166Hz). The upgraded RF power system includes low level RF pulse modulation amplifier, AGC, 3W and 20W preamplifiers, 1kW driver and 30kW final amplifier, which can output nearly 50kW in pulsed mode. The vacuum has been improved, too. The upgraded 1MeV ISR RFQ can be used as the beam injector of a new designed SFRFQ accelerating system, which is under the construction at Peking University.

Abstract:
A 2MeV thermionic cathode test stand was established to meet the requirement of the large area thermionic cathode system. A 100mm in diameter type ``B''thermionic dispenser cathode was developed. A 1000A emission current was produced at the voltage of the diode about 1.8MV, the pulse width about 90ns(FWHM), and the cathode temperature about 1350℃. The emission current density is 12A/cm2. The results indicate that a large area thermionic cathode which produces high quality and high current electron beams is visible. The results also indicate that the ability of cathode emission relies on the diode-vacuum and cathode-temperature.

The radio frequency characteristics of MFC were analyzed with three methods such as analytic calculation, numerical computation, and measurement. The frequency of the TM110 mode from these methods agreed with the experimental results, while the transverse coupling impedance was different from the experimental results by some times. The main BBU exciter was the big transverse coupling impedance of the MFC which could be concluded. A grid was designed to shield the gap of the MFC. The experiments show that the BBU was compressed and the high frequency oscillation disappeared.
Abstract:
The common characteristics of most capacitive energy storage systems are the use of gas switch, while the limitation of the recovery of gas switch and ablation of electrode lead to low repetition rates and short life. The widely researched technology of magnetic pulse compression has great perspective in long life, high average power and high repetition rates in the pulsed power system. Through the theoretical analysis and simulation of the parameters of the BOOST circuit, the LC circuit and magnetic compression circuit, the pulse generator circuit based on the BOOST circuit, the LC circuit, the pulsed transformer and the magnetic switch is designed, simulated and optimized by Pspice. The output pulse has 55kV voltage and 500ns pulse-width.

Abstract:
In this paper, the primary energy source of high current electron beam accelerator based on spiral pulse forming line is investigated. It consists of the constant-current power supply, the high voltage pulse capacitor, the field distortion switch, and the protection system. The primary energy source can discharge to the primary winding of the transformer with high voltage pulses whose amplitude of voltage is 40kV, current is 80kA, pulse width is 8μs and repetition frequency is less than 5Hz. The primary energy source is applied to a high current electron beam accelerator, and is featured by its compactness, stability and reliability.

Abstract:
It is an important research subject for the spaceflight countries to conduct equivalent simulation of 5eV atomic oxygen effects for the spaceflight material in low earth orbit. This paper introduces an apparatus used for producing atomic oxygen, which consists of a PIG ion source with permanent magnet, two electrodes extraction system, an electron deflector, an einzel lens, an ion decelerating electrode and a sample bracket. At present it has been used on the small debris accelerator in the Center for Space Science and Applied Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the producing experiments of O－ are carried out. 200—300μA of O－ ions are extracted at the extraction voltage of 2—3kV. The experiments for decelerating of O－ ions and erosion of kapton foil are carried out also. Because of the target room used for both the atomic oxygen device and the small debris accelerator, the facility can be used for small debris impinging and atomic erosion for spaceflight materials simultaneouslly.

Abstract:
A new type of compact terahertz (THz) radiation source using free electron laser (FEL) is discussed in this paper. The concept machine consists of an independently tunable cell thermionic RF gun (ITC-RF Gun), an accelerating structure with symmetry RF-incoupler and a coaxial load RF-outcoupler, an undulator combined with an optical resonance cavity of hole-coupling mode. Without α-magnet and other bunch compressors, the size of this machine is decreased. The conceptual design and numerical simulation are presented.

Abstract:
In order to extract parallel beam from ion sources, it's necessary to design suitable electrode configurations in extraction zone. Taking the effect of the space-charge into account, the electrode configurations should vary with beam current density. A means of calculating extraction configuration of parallel beam with certain current density has been evolved from the space-charge limited current. By solving Poisson equation and Laplace equation, the potential distribution close to the strip beam has been gotten.

In order to reduce the gain of a receiving antenna in HPM power measurement, especially in lower frequency, a low gain dipole antenna of L band is designed. By theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the optimized results of the antenn are obtained: its central frequency is 1.75GHz, the variety of gain is less than 1.1dB in frequency band 1.70—1.80GHz, the estimated value of the power capacity of the antenna is 0.1MW, which can satisfy the demand of corresponding measurement.
