17. OR17 - A Staged Approach to Beam Commissioning of Fermilab's PIP-II Accelerator

Darren Crawford (FNAL)

14/09/2023, 09:00

The Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II, project is an essential upgrade to Fermilab’s accelerator complex to enable the world’s most intense high-energy beam of neutrinos for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility, and a broad physics program, powering new discoveries for many decades to come. PIP-II features a Warm Front End,...

18. OR18 - View points of beam commissioning of J-PARC Main Ring for safe and reliable operation

Yoichi Sato (J-PARC/KEK)

"In the J-PARC Main Ring (MR), beam commissioning has been carried out to increase the beam power to achieve 1.3 MW by JFY2028. For this purpose, it is essential to make safe and reliable judgments on the beam and equipment environments. The MR-status-monitoring-system (CSS-based) has been developed and establied, based on the criteria to find the MR status for beam tuning and stablilizing...

19. OR19 - Development of an Automated Beam Loss Tuning Application in a High-Power Accelerator

Carrie Elliott (SNS)

14/09/2023, 09:40

"Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a high-power linear H- accelerator, is increasing its power capability from 1.4 to 2.8 MW and beam energy from 1 to 1.3 GeV through a long-term project called the Proton Power Upgrade (PPU). With an increase in power and energy, there is even more emphasis to reduce errant beam loss and residual activation in the accelerator...

20. OR20 - Introducing a new machine to an existing team

Alessandro Facchetti (PSI)

14/09/2023, 10:00

"At the Paul Scherrer Institute, we have been operating three very different particle accelerators with a common pool of full time operators for more than a decade. A high intensity proton facility, a proton therapy facility and an electron storage ring.
Incorporating our new free electron laser SwissFEL into this operation framework and transitioning it from commissioning into regular user...
