Method of reducing multipole content in a conductor assembly during manufacture

A method for manufacture of a conductor assembly. The assembly is of the type which, when conducting current, generates a magnetic field or in which, in the presence of a changing magnetic field, a voltage is induced. In an example embodiment one or more first coil rows are formed. The assembly has multiple coil rows about an axis with outer coil rows formed about inner coil rows. A determination is made of deviations from specifications associated with the formed one or more first coil rows. One or more deviations correspond to a magnitude of a multipole field component which departs from a field specification. Based on the deviations, one or more wiring patterns are generated for one or more second coil rows to be formed about the one or more first coil rows. The one or more second coil rows are formed in the assembly. The magnitude of each multipole field component that departs from the field specification is offset.

Multipole Field Effects for the Superconducting Parallel-Bar Deflecting/Crabbing Cavities

The superconducting parallel-bar deflecting/crabbing cavity is currently being considered as one of the design options in rf separation for the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade and for the crabbing cavity for the proposed LHC luminosity upgrade. Knowledge of multipole field effects is important for accurate beam dynamics study of rf structures. The multipole components can be accurately determined numerically using the electromagnetic surface field data in the rf structure. This paper discusses the detailed analysis of those components for the fundamental deflecting/crabbing mode and higher order modes in the parallel-bar deflecting/crabbing cavity.

Apparatus and method of dissociating ions in a multipole ion guide

A method of dissociating ions in a multipole ion guide is disclosed. A stream of charged ions is supplied to the ion guide. A main RF field is applied to the ion guide to confine the ions through the ion guide. An excitation RF field is applied to one pair of rods of the ion guide. The ions undergo dissociation when the applied excitation RF field is resonant with a secular frequency of the ions. The multipole ion guide is, but not limited to, a quadrupole, a hexapole, and an octopole.

Multipole and field uniformity tailoring of a 750 MHz rf dipole

In recent years great interest has been shown in developing rf structures for beam separation, correction of geometrical degradation on luminosity, and diagnostic applications in both lepton and hadron machines. The rf dipole being a very promising one among all of them. The rf dipole has been tested and proven to have attractive properties that include high shunt impedance, low and balance surface fields, absence of lower order modes and far-spaced higher order modes that simplify their damping scheme. As well as to be a compact and versatile design in a considerable range of frequencies, its fairly simple geometry dependency is suitable both for fabrication and surface treatment. The rf dipole geometry can also be optimized for lowering multipacting risk and multipole tailoring to meet machine specific field uniformity tolerances. In the present work a survey of field uniformities, and multipole contents for a set of 750 MHz rf dipole designs is presented as both a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the inherent flexibility of the structure and its limitations.

Influence of Magnet Multipole Field Components on Beam Dynamics in the JLEIC Ion Collider Ring

To get a luminosity level of a few 10 33 cm -2 ses ₋1 at all design points of the Jefferson Lab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) project, small β* values in both horizontal and vertical planes are necessary at the Interaction Point (IP) in the ion collider ring. This also means large β in the final focus area, chromaticity correction sections, etc. which sets a constraint on the field quality of magnets in large beta areas, in order to ensure a large enough dynamic aperture (DA). In this context, limiting multipole field components of magnets are surveyed to find a possible compromise between the requirements and what can be realistically achieved by a magnet manufacturer. This paper describes that work. Moreover, non-linear field dedicated correctors are also studied to provide semi-local corrections of specific multipole field components.

3D Toroidal Field Multipoles for Curved Accelerator Magnets

Curved magnets producing continuously rotating field multipoles along the length of the bend can provide strong and continuous transverse focusing, making them of interest for accelerator systems such as compact ion beam gantries and synchrotron light sources. Evaluating the utility of such rotating multipole systems requires an accurate description of field behavior for beam physics calculations. This paper presents a helical scalar potential solution in 3D toroidal harmonics relevant to boundary conditions on the surface of a torus. The resulting fields are evaluated for a curved helical quadrupole channel to illustrate field rotation and the effect of magnet curvature.

Treatments for Neutron Resonance Elastic Scattering Using the Multipole Formalism in Monte Carlo Codes

The elastic scattering cross sections of resonant nuclides can vary drastically within small energy intervals. In reactor physics simulations, accurate treatment of neutron resonance elastic scattering is vital, as the phenomenon can have a strong effect on scattering kinematics which, in turn, affect macroscopic values, such as the fuel temperature reactivity coefficient. To reduce memory requirements and facilitate coupling with heat transfer, a new representation for cross sections was recently adopted in OpenMC based on the multipole formalism. However, this new approach invalidates the previous implementations of correct resonance treatments, including the Doppler Broadening Rejection Correction (DBRC) method. This work thus developed a modified DBRC algorithm, called DBRC-MP, compatible with the new data representation. This new method is also verified against the previous DBRC method. While slightly more computationally costly than the traditional DBRC approach using ACE format cross sections, the use of the multipole representation in treating resonance scattering enables the reduction of memory requirements by a hundred-fold and facilitates the representation of temperature dependent cross sections.

Extremely Thin Perfect Absorber by Generalized Multipole Bianisotropic Effect

Symmetry breaking plays a crucial role in understanding the fundamental physics underlying numerous physical phenomena, including the electromagnetic response in resonators, giving rise to intriguing effects such as directional light scattering, supercavity lasing, and topologically protected states. Here, this work demonstrates that adding a small fraction of lossy metal (as low as 1 × 10 −6 in volume) to a lossless dielectric resonator breaks inversion symmetry (IS), thereby lifting its degeneracy, leading to a strong bianisotropic response. In the case of the metasurface composed of such resonators, this effect leads to unidirectional perfect absorption while maintaining nearly perfect reflection from the opposite direction. It has developed more general Onsager‐Casimir relations for the polarizabilities of particle arrays, taking into account the contributions of quadrupoles, which shows that bianisotropy is not solely due to dipoles, but also involves high‐order multipoles. The experimental validation demonstrates an extremely thin terahertz‐perfect absorber with a wavelength‐to‐thickness ratio of up to 25,000, where the material thickness is only 2% of the theoretical minimum thickness dictated by the fundamental limit. The findings can pave a new route to design devices for applications involving optical‐to‐heat conversion processes.

Energy levels, wavelengths, and transition rates of multipole transitions (E1, E2, M1, M2) in Au{sup 67+} and Au{sup 66+} ions

The fully relativistic configuration interaction method of the FAC code is used to calculate atomic data for multipole transitions in Mg-like Au (Au{sup 67+}) and Al-like Au (Au{sup 66+}) ions. Generated atomic data are important in the modeling of M-shell spectra for heavy Au ions and Au plasma diagnostics. Energy levels, oscillator strengths and transition rates are calculated for electric-dipole (E1), electric quadrupole (E2), magnetic dipole (M1), and magnetic quadrupole (M2) for transitions between excited and ground states 3l−nl{sup ′}, such that n=4,5,6,7. The local central potential is derived using the Dirac–Fock–Slater method. Correlation effects to all orders are considered by the configuration interaction expansion. All relativistic effects are included in the calculations. Calculated energy levels are compared against published values that were calculated using the multi-reference many body perturbation theory, which includes higher order QED effects. Favorable agreement was observed, with less than 0.15% difference.

An adaptive fast multipole accelerated Poisson solver for complex geometries

Here, we present a fast, direct and adaptive Poisson solver for complex two-dimensional geometries based on potential theory and fast multipole acceleration. More precisely, the solver relies on the standard decomposition of the solution as the sum of a volume integral to account for the source distribution and a layer potential to enforce the desired boundary condition. The volume integral is computed by applying the FMM on a square box that encloses the domain of interest. For the sake of efficiency and convergence acceleration, we first extend the source distribution (the right-hand side in the Poisson equation) to the enclosing box as a $C$ 0 function using a fast, boundary integral-based method. We demonstrate on multiply connected domains with irregular boundaries that this continuous extension leads to high accuracy without excessive adaptive refinement near the boundary and, as a result, to an extremely efficient “black box” fast solver.

Improve the efficiency of the Cartesian tensor based fast multipole method for Coulomb interaction using the traces

To compute the non-oscillating mutual interaction for a systems with N points, the fast multipole method (FMM) has an efficiency that scales linearly with the number of points. Specifically, for Coulomb interaction, FMM can be constructed using either the spherical harmonic functions or the totally symmetric Cartesian tensors. In this paper, we will present that the effciency of the Cartesian tensor-based FMM for the Coulomb interaction can be significantly improved by implementing the traces of the Cartesian tensors in calculation to reduce the independent elements of the n-th rank totally symmetric Cartesian tensor from (n + 1)(n + 2)=2 to 2n + 1. The computation complexity for the operations in FMM are analyzed and expressed as polynomials of the highest rank of the Cartesian tensors. For most operations, the complexity is reduced by one order. Numerical examples regarding the convergence and the effciency of the new algorithm are demonstrated. As a result, a reduction of computation time up to 50% has been observed for a moderate number of points and rank of tensors.

Multipole analysis of redshift-space distortions around cosmic voids

We perform a comprehensive redshift-space distortion analysis based on cosmic voids in the large-scale distribution of galaxies observed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. To this end, we measure multipoles of the void-galaxy cross-correlation function and compare them with standard model predictions in cosmology. Merely considering linear-order theory allows us to accurately describe the data on the entire available range of scales and to probe void-centric distances down to about 2 h {sup −1}Mpc. Common systematics, such as the Fingers-of-God effect, scale-dependent galaxy bias, and nonlinear clustering do not seem to play a significant role in our analysis. We constrain the growth rate of structure via the redshift-space distortion parameter β at two median redshifts, β( z-bar =0.32)=0.599{sup +0.134}{sub −0.124} and β( z-bar =0.54)=0.457{sup +0.056}{sub −0.054}, with a precision that is competitive with state-of-the-art galaxy-clustering results. While the high-redshift constraint perfectly agrees with model expectations, we observe a mild 2σ deviation at z-bar =0.32, which increases to 3σ when the data is restricted to the lowest available redshift range of 0.15< z <0.33.

Dependence of the probabilities of the electric-multipole electron transitions in W{sup 24+} on multipolarity

Usually it is accepted that the probabilities of the electric-multipole electron transitions are rapidly decreasing functions of their multipolarity. Therefore while calculating the probabilities of electronic transitions between the configurations of certain chosen parities, it seems sufficient to take into account the first nonzero term, i.e., to consider the electron transitions of lowest multipolarity permitted by the exact selection rules. This paper aims at verifying this assumption on the example of electric-octupole transitions in W{sup 24+} ion. For this purpose the large-scale multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Fock calculations have been performed for the configurations [Kr]4d{sup 10}4f{sup 4} and [Kr]4d{sup 10}4f{sup 3}5s energy levels of W{sup 24+} ion. The relativistic corrections were taken into account in the quasirelativistic Breit-Pauli and fully relativistic Breit (taking into account QED effects) approximations. The role of correlation, relativistic, and QED corrections is discussed. Line strengths, oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities in Coulomb and Babushkin gauges are presented for E1 and E3 transitions among these levels.

A Massively Parallel Adaptive Fast Multipole Method on Heterogeneous Architectures

We describe a parallel fast multipole method (FMM) for highly nonuniform distributions of particles. We employ both distributed memory parallelism (via MPI) and shared memory parallelism (via OpenMP and GPU acceleration) to rapidly evaluate two-body nonoscillatory potentials in three dimensions on heterogeneous high performance computing architectures. We have performed scalability tests with up to 30 billion particles on 196,608 cores on the AMD/CRAY-based Jaguar system at ORNL. On a GPU-enabled system (NSF's Keeneland at Georgia Tech/ORNL), we observed 30x speedup over a single core CPU and 7x speedup over a multicore CPU implementation. By combining GPUs with MPI, we achieve less than 10 ns/particle and six digits of accuracy for a run with 48 million nonuniformly distributed particles on 192 GPUs.

Petascale turbulence simulation using a highly parallel fast multipole method on GPUs

This paper reports large-scale direct numerical simulations of homogeneous-isotropic fluid turbulence, achieving sustained performance of 1.08 petaflop/s on gpu hardware using single precision. The simulations use a vortex particle method to solve the Navier–Stokes equations, with a highly parallel fast multipole method (fmm) as numerical engine, and match the current record in mesh size for this application, a cube of computational points solved with a spectral method. The standard numerical approach used in this field is the pseudo-spectral method, relying on the fft algorithm as the numerical engine. The particle-based simulations presented in this paper quantitatively match the kinetic energy spectrum obtained with a pseudo-spectral method, using a trusted code. In terms of parallel performance, weak scaling results show the fmm-based vortex method achieving 74% parallel efficiency on 4096 processes (one gpu per mpi process, 3 gpus per node of the tsubame-2.0 system). The fft-based spectral method is able to achieve just 14% parallel efficiency on the same number of mpi processes (using only cpu cores), due to the all-to-all communication pattern of the fft algorithm. The calculation time for one time step was 108 s for the vortex method and 154 s for the spectral method, under these conditions. Computing with 69 billion particles, this work exceeds by an order of magnitude the largest vortex-method calculations to date.
