Physical design of magnetic shielding for LEReC cooling section

The goal of this note is to set basic parameters for the magnetic shielding of LEReC CS with required design attenuation. We considered physical design of magnetic shielding of LEReC cooling section. The schematic of this design along with the list of its basic parameters is shown. We are planning to use 2 layers of 1 mm thick cylindrical mu-metal shields with μ=11000. The radius of the first layer sitting on top of vacuum chamber is 63.5 mm. The second layer radius is 150 mm. Such shielding guarantees adequate transverse angles of electron beam trajectory in the CS.

An array of virtual Frisch-grid CdZnTe detectors and a front-end application-specific integrated circuit for large-area position-sensitive gamma-ray cameras

We developed a robust and low-cost array of virtual Frisch-grid CdZnTe (CZT) detectors coupled to a front-end readout ASIC for spectroscopy and imaging of gamma rays. The array operates as a self-reliant detector module. It is comprised of 36 close-packed 6x6x15 mm 3 detectors grouped into 3x3 sub-arrays of 2x2 detectors with the common cathodes. The front-end analog ASIC accommodates up to 36 anode and 9 cathode inputs. Several detector modules can be integrated into a single- or multi-layer unit operating as a Compton or a coded-aperture camera. We present the results from testing two fully assembled modules and readout electronics. The further enhancement of the arrays’ performance and reduction of their cost are made possible by using position-sensitive virtual Frisch-grid detectors, which allow for accurate corrections of the response of material non-uniformities caused by crystal defects.

The optics of the low energy FFAG cell of the eRHIC collider, using realistic field maps

The proposed electron accelerator of the eRHIC complex will use a 1.32 GeV Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) to accelerate the e-bunches to a top energy of 21.2 GeV before they collide with the hadron bunches. The e-bunches attain the 21.2 GeV energy after passing through the ERL 16 times as they recirculate in two rings which are placed alongside the RHIC hadron accelerator. The two rings are made of periodic cells and each cell is made of one focusing and one defocusing permanent magnet qudrupole. In this paper we present the electromagnetic calculations of the 2D and 3D models of a cell which is comprised of two modified Halbach quadrupoles, and the optical properties of the cell.

First beam commissioning at BNL ERL SRF Gun

The 704 MHz SRF gun successfully generated the first photoemission beam in November of 2014. The configurations of the test and the sub-systems are described.The latest results of SRF commissioning, including the cavity performance, cathode QE measurements, beam current/energy measurements, are presented in the paper.
