Bunch-by-bunch beam size measurement during injection at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility

Fast beam profile measurement is important in fast beam dynamic behavior investigations. A bunch-bybunch beam size measurement system, which is presently used to measure horizontal profile, has been developed at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF) and is capable of measuring bunches within a separation of 2 ns.The system is based on a direct-imaging optical system and high-speed photomultiplier array detector. A high-bandwidth linear signal amplifier and acquisition module have also been designed to process bunch-by-bunch multichannel signals from the detector. The software resampling technique and principal component analysis method were developed to obtain the synchronized data and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. The fast injection of transients was successfully captured and analyzed. Moreover, the bunchby-bunch positions and sizes exhibited strong oscillation after the injection at the horizontal betatron oscillation frequency of the SSRF storage ring, and this demonstrated the bunch-by-bunch measurement capability of our system.

Performance of beam size monitor based on Kirkpatrick–Baez mirror at SSRF

High-energy photon source(HEPS) is a 6 GeV ultralow emittance storage ring light source to be built in Beijing, China. Both the horizontal and vertical beam sizes of the HEPS storage ring are below 10 lm. It is a challenge to measure such a small beam size in both directions. To this end, measurement by a Kirkpatrick–Baez(KB) mirror imaging system was evaluated. A test KB system for the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility storage ring was designed and tested. Two crossed cylindrical mirrors were used to image the dipole source point. Both mirrors can be moved in and out so that the monitor is interchangeable with the original X-ray pinhole monitor. The aberration and point spread function, which would cause image blur, were evaluated. A beam-based calibration scheme was used by varying the beam size with different quadrupole settings and fitting them with the corresponding theoretical values.We updated the original X-ray camera with a new camera having a 5-lm-thick LuAG/Ce scintillator, and the imaging result shows greatly decreased image blur.

Simulation of beam size multiknobs correction at the Accelerator Test Facility 2 at KEK

The ATF2 project is the final focus system prototype for the ILC and CLIC linear collider projects, with a purpose of reaching a 37 nm vertical beam size at the interaction point （IP）. During the initial commissioning, we started with larger-than-nominal β-functions at the IP in order to reduce the effects from higher-order optical aberrations and thereby simplifying the optical corrections needed. We report on the simulation studies at two different IP locations developed based on waist scan, dispersion, coupling and β function multiknobs correction in the large β optics of ATF2, in the presence of two kinds of magnet inaccuracies （quadrupole gradient and roll errors） to generate all possible linear optic distortions at the IP. A vertical beam size which is very close to the nominal beam size is obtained based on the simulation study.

The measurement of electron beam transverse sizes by synchrotron radiation interferometry for HLS Ⅱ

In order to improve accuracy of electron beam transverse sizes measurement,the vertical and horizontal synchrotron radiation light interferometers have been designed to measure beam transverse sizes for the upgrade project of Hefei Light Source(HLS II).In this paper,the light intensity distributions of the interferogram are descussed,and parameters of the interferometers are optimized.The interferograms are simulated under MATLAB. Taking integrations of two-dimensional interferogram intensity,normalized one-dimensional interference intensities distribution of the vertical and horizontal interferogram are obtained.The two curves are fitted to compare the beam transverse sizes with the designed sizes,and this verifies the feasibility of this method.Finally,several factors that affect the beam sizes measurement are discussed.

Nonlinear beam formulation incorporating surface energy and size effect:application in nano-bridges

A nonlinear beam formulation is presented based on the Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity and the modified couple stress theory. The developed model theoretically takes into account coupled effects of the energy of surface layer and microstructures size- dependency. The mid-plane stretching of a beam is incorporated using von-Karman nonlinear strains. Hamilton＇s principle is used to determine the nonlinear governing equation of motion and the corresponding boundary conditions. As a case study, pull-in instability of an electromechanical nano-bridge structure is studied using the proposed formulation. The nonlinear governing equation is solved by the analytical reduced order method （ROM） as well as the numerical solution. Effects of various parameters including surface layer, size dependency, dispersion forces, and structural damping on the pull- in parameters of the nano-bridges are discussed. Comparison of the results with the literature reveals capability of the present model in demonstrating the impact of nano- scale phenomena on the pull-in threshold of the nano-bridges.

The Influences of an Embedded Structure Fiber-Optic Radiation Dosimeter in Different SSD and Beam Field Size

With a rapidly increasing demand and widespread use of radiotherapy treatment, the subject area of in-vivo real time dose rate dosimeters has become a significant area of study. An embedded structure fiber-optic radiation dosimeter has proved to be a promising candidate to fulfil this role because of its high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and excellent light conversion efficiency. In this paper, the properties of this kind of dosimeter with respect to different SSD (Source to Surface Distance) and beam field size in a clinical Linac are studied. The characteristics of the dosimeter were evaluated by the sensor’s output intensity response in these conditions.

The influence of Laval nozzle throat size on supersonic molecular beam injection

In this study, finite element analysis （FEA） has been used to investigate the effects of different Laval nozzle throat sizes on supersonic molecular beam. The simulations indicate the Mach numbers of the molecular stream peak at different positions along the center axis of the beam, which correspond to local minimums of the molecular densities. With the increase of the throat diameter, the first peak of the Mach number increases first and then decreases, while that of the molecular number density increases gradually. Moreover, both first peaks shift progressively away from the throat. At the last part, we discuss the possible applications of our FEA approach to solve some crucial problems met in modern transportations.

A Pilot Survey of Odontomas for Size Constancy Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: Effect of Age, Sex, Lesion Location, and Histological Type: A Case Series

Objectives: Odontoma is the most common type of odontogenic tumors. Many studies have analyzed the statistical associations between odontoma location and patient age and sex, according to the histological tumor type. However, few studies have assessed odontoma morphological characteristics using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). We aimed to evaluate the association between odontoma location and size. Methods: We performed CBCT on patients with odontomas (19 patients;10 women, 9 men;average age, 12.6 [range, 6 - 34] years) according to the pathology type at a university hospital between April 2008 and February 2017. The locations of the lesions were noted, and their sizes were measured on CBCT images. Buccolingual, mesiodistal, and vertical diameters of the lesions were recorded on the same slice with the greatest diameters on axial, coronal, and sagittal CBCT images. Results: Altogether, 9 (47.4%) and 10 (52.6%) odontomas were located in the mandible and maxilla, respectively. There was no significant difference in the mesiodistal and vertical diameters on the CBCT image between the mandibular and maxillary groups when the odontoma size was compared with location (p < 0.05). However, the average diameters in only the buccolingual diameter were significantly greater in the maxilla. There were no significant differences between the two groups according to sex, age, or histological type. Conclusions: These data suggest that the sizes of odontomas in the maxilla are affected by bone expansion in the buccolingual direction, but they may be invariable in most settings. Three-dimensional assessment across the age groups suggests a lack of variation in size.

A segmented conical electric lens for optimization of the beam spot of the low-energy muon facility at PSI: a Geant4 simulation analysis

The low-energy muon facility at PSI provides nearly fully polarized positive muons with tunable energies in the ke V range to carry out muon spin rotation(LE-μSR)experiments with nanometer depth resolution on thin films,heterostructures, and near-surface regions. The low-energy muon beam is focused and transported to the sample by electrostatic lenses. In order to achieve a minimum beam spot size at the sample position and to enable the steering of the beam in the horizontal and vertical direction, a special electrostatic device has been implemented close to the sample position. It consists of a cylinder at ground potential followed by four conically shaped electrodes,which can be operated at different electric potential. In LE-μSR experiments, an electric field at the sample along the beam direction can be applied to accelerate/decelerate muons to different energies(0.5–30 keV). Additionally, a horizontal or vertical magnetic field can be superimposed for transverse or longitudinal field μSR experiments. The focusing properties of the conical lens in the presence of these additional electric and magnetic fields have been investigated and optimized by Geant4 simulations. Some experimental tests were also performed and show that the simulation well describes the experimental setup.

Acoustic beam splitting in a sonic crystal around a directional band gap

Beam splitting upon refraction in a triangular sonic crystal composed of aluminum cylinders in air is experimentally and numerically demonstrated to occur due to finite source size, which facilitates circumvention of a directional band gap. Experiments reveal that two distinct beams emerge at crystal output, in agreement with the numerical results obtained through the finite-element method. Beam splitting occurs at sufficiently-small source sizes comparable to lattice periodicity determined by the spatial gap width in reciprocal space. Split beams propagate in equal amplitude, whereas beam splitting is destructed for oblique incidence above a critical incidence angle.

Non-geometrical effects on Gaussian beams transmitting through a thin dielectric slab

It is shown that a Gaussian light beam transmitting through a planar thin dielectric slab in the air undergoes four different effects, i.e. lateral Goos-Hanchen-like （GHL） displacement, angular deflection, width modification and longitudinal focal shift as compared with the results predicted by geometrical optics. According to the Taylor expansion of the exponent of transmission coefficient when expressed as an exponential form, the lateral GHL displacement and the angular deflection are the first-order effects and can be negative or positive. The width modification and the longitudinal focal shift are the second-order effects and can also be positive or negative. Owing to the waist-width dependent term, the non-geometrical effects of transmitted beam are not identical with the non-specular effects of reflected beam. The conditions for the validity of those effects are suggested and numerical simulations are also given.

Static and Dynamic Pull-In Instability of Nano-Beams Resting on Elastic Foundation Based on the Nonlocal Elasticity Theory

This paper provides the static and dynamic pullin behavior of nano-beams resting on the elastic foundation based on the nonlocal theory which is able to capture the size effects for structures in micron and sub-micron scales. For this purpose, the governing equation of motion and the boundary conditions are driven using a variational approach. This formulation includes the influences of fringing field and intermolecular forces such as Casimir and van der Waals forces. The differential quadrature （DQ） method is employed as a high-order approximation to discretize the governing nonlinear differential equation, yielding more accurate results with a Considerably smaller number of grid points. In addition, a powerful analytical method called parameter expansion method （PEM） is utilized to compute the dynamic solution and frequency-amplitude relationship. It is illustrated that the first two terms in series expansions are sufficient to produce an acceptable solution of the mentioned structure. Finally, the effects of basic parameters on static and dynamic pull-in insta- bility and natural frequency are studied.

Transformation of CSD When Crystal Shape Changes with Crystal Size into CLD from FBRM by Using Monte Carlo Analysis

In manufacturing process, it is necessary to measure change in CSD (Crystal Size Distribution) with time accurately because CSD is one of the most important indices that evaluate quality of products. FBRM (Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement) can measure CLD (Chord Length Distribution) in line, but CLD is different from CSD because of principle of FBRM. However, if CSD is determined beforehand, CLD can be calculated from the CSD with statistical method. First, when crystal shape is defined from the characteristic crystal size, the matrix of each crystal shape which transforms CSD into CLD in a uniform manner is calculated with Monte Carlo analysis. Characteristic crystal size is added to the variables defining chord length in order to avoid complex integrals and apply the change in crystal shape with characteristic crystal size to the transforming matrix. Secondly, CSD and CLD are actually measured in suspension of acetaminophen in ethanol and suspension of L-arginine in water to demonstrate the validity of 2 matrices. Lastly, these matrices are multiplied by some simple CSD models to test the properties of these matrices and demonstrate the utility of this transformation.

Experimental Investigation of “Scale Influence on Plastic Rotational Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Beams”

The importance of the geometrical effect in practical design has been evaluated, showing that an overestimation of the actual member rotation is very likely if the available rotation capacity is based on the evaluation of the behavior of the reference members within a limited size range. The increase of ductility with decreasing member size has been interpreted in fracture mechanics of reinforced concrete. In fracture mechanics it’s seen that beams with higher dimensions are brittle, while those with small dimensions are ductile, so it’s important here to clarify if the same material and design concepts can be applied for reinforced concrete beams with different scales. Three point bending test was executed on 20 reinforced concrete beams varying scale and slenderness ratio (where steel ratio being kept constant). The experimental results obtained varying beam slenderness and beam depth will be used to analyze the structural response for a practical construction, taking in consideration the size effect, these beams are normally designed in such a way that the distribution of their internal forces over the transversal section has been calculated as per elastic beam theory, while the beam dimension will be designed as per the ultimate limit state to obtain a ductile response of the reinforced concrete beams which is necessary to guarantee the structural safety [1].

翼缘尺寸对地聚物混凝土T形梁抗剪性能的影响

为探究翼缘尺寸对地聚物混凝土T形梁抗剪性能的影响,对1根普通混凝土和4根不同翼缘尺寸的地聚物混凝土T形梁进行了集中荷载下的抗剪试验;试验获得了T形梁试件的承载力、挠度、钢筋应变、破坏模式及裂缝的开展等相关参数。研究结果表明:地聚物混凝土T形梁具有与普通混凝土T形梁相似的裂缝扩展、破坏模式及抗剪承载力,但其刚度和斜截面开裂荷载较低,跨中纵筋和箍筋的应变较大;将翼缘厚度与截面有效高度比值从0.24增大到0.48时,地聚物混凝土T形梁的刚度增大、跨中纵筋应变减小,抗剪承载力提高了12.7%,地聚物混凝土的归一化抗剪强度增大了25.3%;当翼缘宽度超过两倍腹板宽度时,继续增大能减小跨中纵筋应变,但地聚物混凝土T形梁的刚度、抗剪承载力及地聚物混凝土归一化抗剪强度不再增大。规范ACI 318—19和Eurocode 2的计算结果明显低估了地聚物混凝土T形梁的抗剪承载力,GB 50010—2010较接近试验值。为更好预测地聚物混凝土T形梁的计算抗剪承载力,建议在抗剪承载力计算公式中增加翼缘有效受剪面积所提供的剪力。

基于断裂能的混凝土弹塑性损伤本构模型和尺寸效应研究

为研究混凝土断裂特性与尺寸效应,引入断裂能和等效应变表示混凝土的损伤演化规律,结合混凝土塑性变形特征,提出基于断裂能的混凝土弹塑性损伤本构模型,并建立相应的数值计算模型。为验证数值计算结果的合理性,引入改进的能量尺寸效应公式进行对比分析。通过对三点弯曲梁的有限元数值模拟和断裂参数敏感性分析发现,尺寸较小的梁失效时,断裂过程区未扩展至特征长度,限制了能量耗散,从而提高了梁的抗断裂能力,增强了梁的名义强度;随着尺寸增大,失效时的断裂过程区逐渐接近特征长度,梁的名义强度逐渐减小;当断裂过程区达到特征长度后,结构名义强度不再随梁尺寸的增大而减小。
