− | + | *IBS effect for the lead ion during injection to the collider ring - Simulated how the Pb ion beam expanse under the IBS effect during one hour at the injection energy inside the ion collider ring. The simulation shows very large IBS rate and a significant increase of the emittance. I have discussed the results with Yuhong and Jiquan. Under the current injection scheme, such a large increase of emittance is not acceptable. But Jiquan will look for shorter injection time. With shorter injection time, the increase of emittance will be smaller. As long as the emittance is within the aperture, we can reduce the emittance to the desired value after injection due to the even stronger cooling for heavy ions. | |

TM is a intrinsic data type in COSY 9.0. Similarly with DA, TM calculates the Taylor series for a given function at a given point. Besides that, TM also calculates a rigid error bounds for the series. So the extended FMM will not only calculate the potential and the field on the particles, it will also give the error bound of the calculation. I read about TM and wrote some test codes to refresh my mind on the topic. Now it seems straightforward to revise the DA based FMM code. | ||

Accelerator R and D (Y. Zhang)
Fanglei Lin
- Continued study of the chromaticity compensation and dynamic aperture in the electron collider ring.
- Discussed JLEIC positron parameters with colleagues and prepared the presentation for JPoS17.
- Miscellaneous: attended JLEIC weekly R&D meetings, attended discussion of test CEBAF pulsed mode for JLEIC.
Vasiliy Morozov
- Geometry-tagging LDRD: generating cross-section tables, generating events, analyzing the data.
- JLEIC R&D planning: reviewing R&D activities, preparing for and participating in a conference call with DoE.
- Ion polarization: teleconference with Anatoliy's group about crab crossing effect and its simulation.
- Lower level activities: detector integration, muon cooling, getting started with River on crab crossing work.
Amy Sy
- Application of inverse flat beam transform to low and high energy beam distributions at the entrance and exit of the bent solenoid section. The unrotated inverse FBT recovers the flat beam but swaps the x-x' to y-y' phase space, and vice versa. For both low and high energy beams, there is significant growth in the vertical emittance - the vertical emittance is very small due to the nature of the flat beam, and the growth may still allow for full acceptance into the ERL. The growth of the momentum spread due to space charge effects is likely more challenging - working on lengthening the initial distribution to see how long the 3.2 nC bunch needs to be to avoid 10x growth in the momentum spread through the merger.
- Using tracking data to recover dispersion functions through one period of the Skew PIC channel to allow for alignment of the parametric-resonance-inducing quadrupoles with the angle between dispersion vectors. Nonzero dispersion at the locations where RF kicks are applied to the beam are destroying the development of the parametric resonance, so different methods are applied to recover the characteristic hyperbolic behavior.
- Checked in with Zack Conway of ANL on ion source/SBIR progress. ANL is working with Muons, Inc. to submit an SBIR proposal on the polarized H-/D- atomic beam source. A collaborative effort has been established with BNL for this proposal, and the Phase I proposal is predicated on a Phase II proposal where a BNL polarimeter is modified to test the device that comes out of simulation work in Phase I.
