Previous two weeks (June 24 - July 5)
- Worked with summer student Madeline Clyburn to extract transverse and
longitudinal rms velocities along the linac for H- intrabeam stripping estimates.
Currently able to extract information about the bunch at the end of the linac, and
working to extract values as the linac is traversed.
- SRIM/TRIM calculations of energy and angular distributions of lead ions after passing
through carbon stripping foils, and parameterization of the probability distribution
as a function of foil thickness and incident beam energy as in the Gorelov and Marti
paper TUP087 from LINAC2006. Generating python tools to analyze the SRIM/TRIM data and
extract distribution parameters - general agreement when comparing results obtained for
12 MeV/u U-238 ions.
Next two weeks (July 8 - July 19)
- Continued work with PyORBIT including: troubleshooting the DTL linac implementation and
lack of beam stability, and optimization of the superconducting portion of the linac for
better matching with TRACK. Also plan to discuss with ANL the possibility of converting
the RF cavity field map files from binary Fortran files to something that can be read into
PyORBIT.
- Putting together a stripping chicane in TRACK; estimates of effects of carbon stripping foil
on lead ion beam emittances and optics parameters.

River Huang
Previous two weeks (June 24 - July 5)
- Transparent spin - Using RHIC’s different configurations, three particles’ spins and energy changes from one turns
to 5000 turns have been tracked for three cases: parallel two snakes, 5 degree and 9 degree for snake1. The
acceleration in RHIC’s cases have been involved in Zgoubi simulations.
- A code for calibrating ALE (half-deviation matched to the reference trajectory) and the field in RHIC
configuration has been completed. The Zgoubi simulation results demonstrated that the implement of our code
yields RHIC configuration to be the transparent spin for two identical snakes.
- The simulation process and results have been discussed with the project collaborators at BNL.
- Simulations for calculating “Zero Integer Spin Resonance Strength” have been carried out from 10-400 GeV for
90-degree (Angle between Snake-axis and the radial direction).
- "CASA BeamBeam" - In the elegant process combined with “Crab Kick”, the different parameters of the bunched beam for
elegant configurations have been tested.

Andrew Hutton
Previous two weeks (June 24 - July 5)
- In the last two weeks, the isotope program has had successes and failures. We
attempted to bring CW beam to the existing 1G dump. We achieved bringing pulsed tune
beam into the 1G line, but not to the end. A series of hardware problems prevented
full transmission, including badly mounted view screens that dropped into the beam,
etc, We will try again in a couple of weeks. Kevin has made progress on the boron
nitride crucible, almost ready for prime time. Jamal Zweit has received the remote
manipulators for the hot cell at VCU. Kevin and (hopefully) Keith Welch will go up to
VCU to make sure that the crucible (with a piece of iron in it to mimic the weight) can
be extracted from the pig and be opened by the remote manipulators. I am preparing the
quarterly report which will be fairly positive.
- Attended an ALCC videoconference on the organization that the US delegation wants to
propose for the ILC Laboratory implementation. Not sure I am fully convinced that the
ILC is going to happen, but I will continue to do my bit.
- I have spent some time with Sarah, we need to make sure that she gets to the meat of
what we would like her to produce.
- I understand from Stuart that there will be a meeting tomorrow to discuss the ODU
proposal to the Virginia Legislature (which includes the JEDI Proposal). I don’t have
a good feel as to whether it will be successful.
Next two weeks (July 8 - July 19)
- I will be in Japan for the SuperKEKB Review. When I return, I will be working on
completing the Isotope Quarterly Report, and helping Sarah, who should have got
sufficiently far advanced with GPT to start optimizing the WIFL gun for high bunch
charge.
- I will start editing the PreCDR100 when there is something for me to work on.
