Measurements on the conductivity of copper coating with resonant cavity

Purpose To reduce the beam coupling impedance of the vacuum chamber made of poorly conducting material,a layer of high-conductivity metal,such as copper,is often coated on its inner surface.As the natural bunch length of modern accelerators is about several millimeters,its beam spectrum can reach tens of GHz.In this case,the skin depth of copper is of the same order of magnitude as its surface roughness,and its electrical properties can be different from that in DC,which will influence the beam coupling impedance.Therefore,the electrical property of copper coating at high frequency needs to be investigated.Methods In this paper,the method of resonant cavity is adopted to measure the coating conductivity,which is based on the relation between the quality factor of the cavity and material conductivity.Results Three different resonant modes are tested in the measurement,among which the H011 mode shows the best performance.The results also indicate that surface roughness of copper can have an influence on its effective conductivity at high frequency.Conclusion The H011 mode is suitable for measuring high-conductivity materials.When the skin depth of copper is comparable to or larger than its surface roughness,its effective conductivity will be significantly reduced.

Optimization of dynamic aperture by using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-Ⅱ in a diffraction-limited storage ring with solenoids for generating round beam

Purpose Round beam,i.e.,with equal horizontal and vertical emittance,is preferable than a horizontally flat one for some beamline applications in Diffraction-limited storage rings(DLSRs),for the purposes of reducing the number of photons getting discarded and better phase space match between photon and electron beam.Conventional methods of obtaining round beam inescapably results in a reduction of dynamic aperture(DA).In order to recover the DA as much as possible for improving the injection efficiency,the DA optimization by using Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-Ⅱ(NSGA-Ⅱ)to generate round beam,particularly to one of the designed lattice of the High Energy Photon Source(HEPS)storage ring,are presented.Method According to the general unconstrained model of NSGA-Ⅱ,we modified the standard model by using parallel computing to optimize round beam lattices with errors,especially for a strong coupling,such as solenoid scheme.Results and conclusion The results of numerical tracking verify the correction of the theory framework of solenoids with fringe fields and demonstrates the feasibility on the HEPS storage ring with errors to operate in round beam mode after optimizing DA.

Equilibrium electron beam parameters of the High Energy Photon Source

Purpose The physics design of the High Energy Photon Source(HEPS)was finished after many times of iteration.Hereby,the typical equilibrium electron beam parameters corresponding to the proposed two baseline operation modes in the baseline design of HEPS are presented.Methods To compute the equilibrium parameters of the electron beam,the lattice parameters,RF parameters,and the parameters of the insertion devices(IDs)were determined first.Furthermore,it is more precise to use the full-current electron beam parameters in the estimations of the performance of the synchrotron light.Therefore,not only the single-particle dynamics but also the current-dependent collective effects need to be considered in the computations of the full-current,equilibrium parameters of the electron beam.Both analytic computations and multi-particle tracking simulations were carried out.Results The full-current,equilibrium parameters of the electron beams in the HEPS storage ring are presented in this paper.Moreover,the main beam parameters in the injector(the booster and the LINAC),corresponding to the two baseline operation modes of the storage ring,are also presented.Conclusion The typical electron beam parameters corresponding to the two baseline operation modes are given in detail in this paper.
