A transverse electron target for heavy ion storage rings

Electron-ion interaction processes are of fundamental interest for several research fields like atomic and astrophysics as well as plasma applications. To address this topic, a transverse electron target based on the crossed beam technique was designed and constructed for the application in storage rings. Using a sheet beam of free electrons in crossed beam geometry promises a good energy resolution and gives access to the interaction region for spectroscopy. The produced electron beam has a length of 10 cm in ion beam direction and a width in the transverse plane of 5 mm. Therewith, electron densities of up to 10{sup 9} electrons/cm{sup 3} are reachable in the interaction region. The target allows the adjustment of the electron beam current and energy in the region of several 10 eV to a few keV. Simulations have been performed regarding the energy resolution for electron-ion collisions and its influence on spectroscopic measurements. Also, the effect on ion-beam optics due to the space charge of the electron beam was investigated. Presently the electron target is integrated into a test bench to evaluate its performance for its dedicated installation at the storage rings of the FAIR facility. Therefore, optical diagnostics of the interaction region and charge state analysis with a magnetic spectrometer is used. Subsequently, the target will be installed temporarily at the Frankfurt Low-Energy Storage Ring (FLSR) for further test measurements.

Spin-transparent storage rings for quantum computing

Spin-transparent storage rings, where any spin direction repeats after one full turn, can be used in conjunction with ion traps as a new quantum computing platform [1]. Advantages of spin-transparent rings for quantum computing include: large numbers of stored qubits; long quantum coherence times of up to several hours; long storage lifetimes; and room temperature operation. These exceptional qualities mean rings could provide a scalable way to implement algorithms with deep complexity requiring many quantum operations while simultaneously providing a large number of qubits. This new platform where the qubit has long quantum coherence time can also be used as a quantum sensor or a part of a quantum memory.

Cold ion beam in a storage ring as a platform for large-scale quantum computers and simulators: Challenges and directions for research and development

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the possibility of constructing a large-scale storage-ring-type ion-trap system capable of storing, cooling, and controlling a large number of ions as a platform for scalable quantum computing (QC) and quantum simulations. In such a trap, the ions form a crystalline beam moving along a circular path with a constant velocity determined by the frequency and intensity of the cooling lasers. In this paper, we consider a large leap forward in terms of the number of ions that serve as qubits in QC, from fewer than 100 available in state of the art linear ion-trap devices today to an order of 10 5 crystallized ions in the storage-ring setup. This new trap design unifies two different concepts: the storage rings of charged particles and the linear ion traps used for QC and mass spectrometry. In this paper, we use the language of particle accelerators to discuss the ion state and dynamics. We outline the differences between the above concepts, analyze challenges of the large ring with a revolving chain of ions, and propose goals for the research and development required to enable future quantum computers with 1000 times more qubits than available today. The challenge of creating such a large-scale quantum system while maintaining the necessary coherence of the qubits and the high fidelity of quantum logic operations is significant. Performing analog quantum simulations may be an achievable initial goal for such a device. Quantum calculations and simulations of complex quantum systems will move forward both the fundamental science and the applied research. Nuclear and particle physics, many-body quantum systems, lattice gauge theories, and nuclear structure calculations are just a few examples in which a large-scale quantum simulation system will become a very powerful tool to move forward our understanding of nature.

Ultracold Storage Ring

The modern ring upgrades aim at reaching beam low emittance while paying little attention to the beam energy spread. The purpose of this note is to conjecture on a possibility of designing a storage ring with ultimately small energy spread. This might be of interest with respect to the following two applications: increasing brightness and coherence of radiation at higher harmonics of undulator radiation and a potential of building a soft X-ray FEL on a storage ring. Throughout the tech note we are taking a 3 GeV storage ring of the NSLS-II size as an example.

Experimental Study of a Single Electron in a Storage Ring via Undulator Radiation

A single electron orbiting around a ring and emitting single quanta at the rate of about one event per hundred turns could produce a wealth of information about physical processes in large traps (i.e. storage rings) for charged particles. It should be noted that Paul and Penning traps in the 1980s led to the Nobel prize for studying state and motion of single quantum particles, and just recently the Penning trap technique has enabled the measurement of a single proton magnetic moment with an unprecedented precision of 10 decimal places. The information from the storage ring traps could also be used for characterization of a quantum system as well as the "trap" itself, i.e. measuring properties of the storage ring lattice and electron interaction with the laser fields. Although, the interest in single electron quantum processes today is mostly academic in nature, the diagnostics and methodology developed for single electron radiation studies could find subsequent applications in a variety of applied disciplines in quantum technology, including quantum communications and quantum computing.

Angular dispersion enhanced prebunch for seeding ultrashort and coherent EUV and soft X-ray free-electron laser in storage rings

Prebunching is an effective technique to reduce the radiation saturation length and to improve the longitudinal coherence and output stability in storage-ring-based free-electron lasers (FELs). A novel technique is introduced which uses angular dispersion to enhance the high-harmonic bunching with very small laser-enabled energy spread. This technique can effectively reduce the radiation saturation length without significantly reducing the peak power of the FEL. Numerical simulations reveal that this technique can be used for the generation of 100 MW scale level, fully temporal coherent femtosecond extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray radiation pulses through a 10 m-long undulator based on a diffraction-limited storage ring.

Storage ring nonlinear dynamics optimization with multi-objective multi-generation Gaussian process optimizer

Nonlinear beam dynamics optimization is essential in a low emittance storage ring design. Multi-objective optimization algorithms are needed in order to simultaneously optimize the dynamic aperture and the momentum aperture. In this study we demonstrate the application of a highly efficient stochastic optimization algorithm, the multi-generation Gaussian process optimizer (MG-GPO), to storage ring nonlinear dynamics optimization by successfully applying the method to the SPEAR3 upgrade lattice. It is shown that the new method, owing to its capability of selecting high rank candidates from a large number of trial solutions, converges significantly faster than the commonly used traditional algorithms, multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).

Emerging Opportunities in High-Energy X-ray Science: The Diffraction-Limited Storage Ring Frontier

The worldwide march to electron storage rings with diffraction-limited photon properties in the X-ray regime is well underway. First out of the gate is MAX-IV in Sweden, scheduled for operation in 2016, followed by SIRIUS in Brazil in 2018; both are greenfield rings operating at 3 GeV with ~520 m circumference and emittances of ~250 pm-rad. They will be followed by the upgrade of ESRF, operating at 6 GeV with a target emittance of 150 pm-rad and operational date of 2020. The upgrade of the APS at Argonne National Laboratory (6 GeV, 60 pm-rad) is anticipated to follow shortly thereafter.

Safe operating conditions for NSLS-II Storage Ring Frontends commissioning

The NSLS-II Storage Ring Frontends are designed to safely accept the synchrotron radiation fan produced by respective insertion device when the electron beam orbit through the ID is locked inside the predefined Active Interlock Envelope. The Active Interlock is getting enabled at a particular beam current known as AI safe current limit. Below such current the beam orbit can be anywhere within the limits of the SR beam acceptance. During the FE commissioning the beam orbit is getting intentionally disturbed in the particular ID. In this paper we explore safe operating conditions for the Frontends commissioning.

Implementation of Maxwell's equations in the reconstruction of the magnetic field in the g -2 storage ring

We present a method for implementing the constraints that are implied by Maxwell's equations in fits to measurements of the magnetic field in the muon storage ring of the $g - 2$ experiment. The method that we use makes use of toroidal-harmonic solutions of Laplace's equation. We point out that the fitting problem can be approximated well as a linear-algebra problem. We have devised an efficient algorithm for the linear-algebra problem that makes it possible to find a solution for 10 5 data points and 10 4 harmonics in less than an hour on a present-day desktop computer. We illustrate our method by applying it to some preliminary measurements of the magnetic field in the $g - 2$ storage ring.

Dynamic Aperture and Tolerances for PEP-X Ultimate Storage Ring Design

A lattice for the PEP-X ultimate storage ring light source, having 11 pm-rad natural emittance at a beam energy of 4.5 GeV at zero current, using 90 m of damping wiggler and fitting into the existing 2.2-km PEP-II tunnel, has been recently designed. Such a low emittance lattice requires very strong sextupoles for chromaticity correction, which in turn introduce strong non-linear field effects that limit the beam dynamic aperture. In order to maximize the dynamic aperture we choose the cell phases to cancel the third and fourth order geometric resonances in each 8-cell arc. Four families of chromatic sextupoles and six families of geometric (or harmonic) sextupoles are added to correct the chromatic and amplitude-dependent tunes. To find the best settings of the ten sextupole families, we use a Multi-Objective Genetic Optimizer employing elegant to optimize the beam lifetime and dynamic aperture simultaneously. Then we evaluate dynamic aperture reduction caused by magnetic field multipole errors, magnet fabrication errors and misalignments. A sufficient dynamic aperture is obtained for injection, as well as workable beam lifetime.

NSLS-II storage ring insertion device and front-end commissioning and operation

The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is a state of the art 3 GeV third generation light source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. During spring/ summer of 2014, the storage ring was commissioned up to 50 mA without insertion devices. In the fall of 2014, we began commissioning of the project beamlines, which included seven insertion devices on six ID ports. Beamlines IXS, HXN, CSX-1, CSX-2, CHX, SRX, and XPD-1 consist of elliptically polarized undulator (EPU), damping wigglers (DW) and in-vacuum undulators (IVU) covering from VUV to hard x-ray range. In this paper, experience with commissioning and operation is discussed. We focus on reaching storage ring performance with IDs, including injection, design emittance, compensation of orbit distortions caused by ID residual field, source point stability, beam alignment and tools for control, monitoring and protection of the ring chambers from ID radiation.

Low-alpha Operation of the Iota Storage Ring

Operation with ultra-low momentum-compaction factor (alpha) is a desirable capability for many storage rings and synchrotron radiation sources. For example, low-alpha lattices are commonly used to produce picosecond bunches for the generation of coherent THz radiation and are the basis of a number of conceptual designs for EUV generation via steady-state microbunching (SSMB). Achieving ultra-low alpha requires not only a high-level of stability in the linear optics but also flexible control of higher-order compaction terms. Operation with lower momentum-compaction lattices has recently been investigated at the IOTA storage ring at Fermilab. A procedure for lowering the ring compaction using the linear optics along with compensations from the higher-order magnets was developed with the aid of a model, and an experimental technique for measuring the momentum compaction was developed. The lowest momentum compaction achieved during the available run-time was $3.4\times10^{-4}$, around 15 times lower than previously operated. These feasibility studies ensure an improved experimental understanding of the IOTA optics and potentially will enable new research programs at the facility.

Dual Energy Electron Storage Ring Cooler Design for Relativistic Ion Beams

Collider experiments demand small beam emittances in order to achieve high luminosity. For light particles such as electrons, there exists a natural synchrotron radiation damping resulting in low emittance beams at equilibrium. In the case of heavy particle beams such as proton or ion beams, there is no significant synchrotron radiation damping effect and some cooling mechanism is needed to get to low emittance beams. A dual energy storage ring cooler is a novel concept proposed to cool hadron beams at higher energies. The design consists of two rings: a low energy ring and a high energy ring connected by the energy recovering linac (ERL) that provides the necessary energy difference. The low energy ring has an electron cooler where the cooling interaction takes place between the electron and hadron beams whereas electron beam going through the high energy ring undergoes synchrotron radiation damping. In this document, we present a possible design of a dual energy storage ring-based electron cooler for high energy proton beam cooling suitable for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) to be built at Brookhaven National laboratory (BNL). A special feature of a dual energy storage ring cooler design is that the electron beam energy in the low energy section must be tuned to match the hadron beam velocity in the cooling section, and the electron beam energy in the high energy section is chosen to provide an adequate synchrotron radiation damping. In addition, the ring optics design is carried out considering chromaticity correction, dynamic aperture, momentum aperture, beam lifetime, radiation damping and the intrabeam scattering effect. Finally, the cooling performance is simulated for 275 GeV proton beams at the top energy of the EIC. In such a collider it is desirable to cool the hadron beams to balance the emittance growth rates due to intra-beam scattering (IBS) to maintain a high luminosity during the collision runs. In such a situation, a dual energy storage ring based cooler could be a practical approach to be used for hadron beam cooling.
