**DA-Based Generating Functions

** Beam-beam code development
−
***A few weeks ago, the C++ codes that reads a truncated transfer map from COSY Infinity and constructs the 2nd kind of generating function of the truncated map were developed. These codes were revised and extended. Now given the truncated map, the codes can construct anyone of the four popular kinds of generating functions per user’s require. The results are verified with COSY Infinity 9.0. The coefficients of all the dominating terms agree. There are some terms with much smaller coefficients and the value of those small coefficients may be different. I suspect this is the result of double floating point operations and it is tolerable. It should not affect the symplectic tracking, which should be verified later when the tracking codes are ready.  
+
*** The symplectic tracking code using one of the four classical generating functions has been finished and benchmarked with COSY Infinity 9.0. To use the new code, the user only needs to provide the truncated map and specify which generating function to use for symplectic tracking. The generating function will be constructed automatically. The following figures show the benchmark for the symplectic tracking of 1,000,000 turns using the first generating function. Our code agrees well with COSY Infinity. The same benchmark has been done for all the other three generating function and for tracking with a truncated map. In all the cases, the both codes agree with each other. A few places of the code are revised for better efficiency. A new parser is also added so that the truncated map generated by MAD-X can be loaded. But we have not done anything to convert the coordinates between COSY Infinity and MAD-X. A bug in the original TPSA code is found and fixed.  
−
***To maintain the symplecticity in tracking, what we really need is not the generating function, but the relations between the mixed phase space coordinates. These relations can be derived from the generating functions. However, I noticed that the relations between the mixed coordinates are mid-step product when we construct the generating function, which means we can derive the mixed coordinate relations without the generating functions. I will test this theory in the tracking code.  
+
*** Now we can consider how to fit the tracking code into BeamBeam3D. The following issues needs to be addressed:
−
***The truncated map parser is also revised. Previously, one needs to edit the COSY Infinity output by removing some text before the codes can load the map. Now the code can read the original COSY Infinity output. The new parser also solved one previous problem when the da orders are higher than 10.
+
**** Calling C++ functions in Fortran.
−
***The tpsa code, used for da operations in the construction of the generating functions, was also updated.

* Major effort is still LCLS-II conversion of the LERF for cryomodule testing; last week I witnessed the final leak testing and leak checking of the new Helium transfer line at Eden Cryogenics in Columbus Ohio. This was successful, shipped, received, and delivered to theLERF vault on 7/18/20018. There were meetings held to orchestrate the installation and field fit welding. This project is competing with resources as the CEBAF machine relies for the fall Physics run. (near) Daily updates can be followed at https://wiki.jlab.org/lerf/index.php/Daily_Activities

* Time was spent primarily on the new ARC 7 SLM proposal. I had severalchamber design iterations with the end result something that is both easy to manufacture and uses off the shelf parts like a 6"L - 4" OD hydro form bellows. I sent the model out to three vendors and received quotes from two. The first quote is for $5,995 and the second for $3,675 per chamber. I expect the third quote soon. The design for the entire project is nearly complete and I met with the CASA Diagnostics Group and Brian F. from operations to discuss the design. One small change was requested and then made. I will put together a presentation on the optical and mechanical design as well as the cost and interface requirements. Mike T. will add a few slides on the justification for why is this is needed to setup and monitor CEBAF. The final presentation will be made to the DPIT group.
+
* LCLS-II was again the major effort
−
* Worked with Brian F. to move five CEBAF viewer flags into locations to better overlap with the electron beam. We moved the four viewers on the E0 stack as well as the Lambertson viewer.
+
** Transfer line was installed, welded, and leak checked
−
* Met with Wes M. on the EPICS interface to the hardware for the Radiabeam CRADA on the high power - high speed wire scanner. Had some conversations with Radiabeam's lead engineer on this project.
+
** FEL 01/02 (1/4 + full C50 modules) were cooled down - this was major effort by a number of groups because despite my requests no one looked at the hardware until the last days and found the CAMAC serial highway dead among other problems. This was crucial to a tasks including the cool down of the first two LCLS-II modules in October as well as Gigi & Gary Chen’s Q0 studies.
−
* Had a few meetings on the LCLSII LERF project.
+
** The cable termination for CM # 2 is progressing well, wrapping up orphan cables - a few more to pull in...
 +
* Presented a talk on isotope target concepts at the Isotope Kickoff meeting

* Diagnostic optimization for SLMs in Arc7A (and elsewhere), especially regarding practically achievable resolution, is now a front-burner issue.
+
* The majority of time was spent on finishing the proposal for four new diagnostics in CEBAF ARC 7. Presented the proposal to a number of people and had a very good feedback.  
−
* Magnet integrator tasks, as before, concerning in particular magnet mis-wiring.  I _believe_ we are done with this now, but some revalidation sof measurements remains undone pending technician scheduling.
+
* Had a telcon with Radiabeam on the high power high speed wire scanner.  
−
* Procedure development and data analysis for intercalibration of cryogenic heat load vs. JT setting is going well. The heater logic will still need estimates of Q0 for the cavities for initial configuration, but a significant improvement in CHL load stabilization appears possible.
+
* Had several meetings on the LCLS-II in LERF test. Pushing through a trolley beam hoist to move the bellows on the cryocan end. Ceiling obstructions were removed from beam installation.  
−
* Preparation for beam and system tests in August, particularly time-of-flight related measurements in the NL: potentially huge speedup of cold-start cavity phasing and an alternate, more precise, and non-magnetic cavity gradient calibration. Item #3 above is operationally linked to the RF manipulations involved here.
+
* Had the kickoff meet for the Isotope project.

* Preparation for beam and system tests in August, particularly time-of-flight related measurements in the NL: potentially huge speedup of cold-start cavity phasing and an alternate, more precise, non-magnetic cavity gradient calibration. Item #5 below is operationally linked to the RF manipulations involved here.
 +
* Updating the M56 tuning section of ops procedures to replace instructions using obsolete and no-longer-available hardware with steps using updated and available signals.
 +
* Residual nightmares concerning magnet mis-wiring, although I expect to be done with this now. Some small issues arose with 1L07/1L08 girder mods.
 +
* A bit more coordination and data planning concerning intercalibration of cryogenic heat load vs. JT setting as we move back to 2K operation.

  • Last two weeks
    • Beam-beam code development
      • The symplectic tracking code using one of the four classical generating functions has been finished and benchmarked with COSY Infinity 9.0. To use the new code, the user only needs to provide the truncated map and specify which generating function to use for symplectic tracking. The generating function will be constructed automatically. The following figures show the benchmark for the symplectic tracking of 1,000,000 turns using the first generating function. Our code agrees well with COSY Infinity. The same benchmark has been done for all the other three generating function and for tracking with a truncated map. In all the cases, the both codes agree with each other. A few places of the code are revised for better efficiency. A new parser is also added so that the truncated map generated by MAD-X can be loaded. But we have not done anything to convert the coordinates between COSY Infinity and MAD-X. A bug in the original TPSA code is found and fixed.
      • Now we can consider how to fit the tracking code into BeamBeam3D. The following issues needs to be addressed:
        • Calling C++ functions in Fortran.
        • Convert COSY Infinity and MAD-X coordinates to BeamBeam3D coordinates.
        • Parallelization.
      • I have read some tutorials on calling C++ in Fortran. In principle, it can be done. Need more testing to learn how it works.
    • JSPEC code development
      • Continue working on the arbitrary electron bunch module for JSPEC. A new electron beam model has been added. The interfaces between the following modules: electron beam, friction force calculation, cooling rate calculation, have to be revised. This work has not been finished.

Diagnostic Development - K. Jordan

Kevin Jordan

  • LCLS-II was again the major effort
    • Transfer line was installed, welded, and leak checked
    • FEL 01/02 (1/4 + full C50 modules) were cooled down - this was major effort by a number of groups because despite my requests no one looked at the hardware until the last days and found the CAMAC serial highway dead among other problems. This was crucial to a tasks including the cool down of the first two LCLS-II modules in October as well as Gigi & Gary Chen’s Q0 studies.
    • The cable termination for CM # 2 is progressing well, wrapping up orphan cables - a few more to pull in...
  • Presented a talk on isotope target concepts at the Isotope Kickoff meeting
  • Joined Joe in weekly Radiabeam meeting on wire scanner controls
  • Attended review for Arc 7 SLM design

Joe Gubeli

  • The majority of time was spent on finishing the proposal for four new diagnostics in CEBAF ARC 7. Presented the proposal to a number of people and had a very good feedback.
  • Had a telcon with Radiabeam on the high power high speed wire scanner.
  • Had several meetings on the LCLS-II in LERF test. Pushing through a trolley beam hoist to move the bellows on the cryocan end. Ceiling obstructions were removed from beam installation.
  • Had the kickoff meet for the Isotope project.

Michael Tiefenback

  • Diagnostic optimization for SLMs in Arc7A, practically achievable resolution, layout details concerning slits and diffractive consequences. Writing up a coherent justification for this diagnostic hardware.
  • Preparation for beam and system tests in August, particularly time-of-flight related measurements in the NL: potentially huge speedup of cold-start cavity phasing and an alternate, more precise, non-magnetic cavity gradient calibration. Item #5 below is operationally linked to the RF manipulations involved here.
  • Updating the M56 tuning section of ops procedures to replace instructions using obsolete and no-longer-available hardware with steps using updated and available signals.
  • Residual nightmares concerning magnet mis-wiring, although I expect to be done with this now. Some small issues arose with 1L07/1L08 girder mods.
  • A bit more coordination and data planning concerning intercalibration of cryogenic heat load vs. JT setting as we move back to 2K operation.
