The CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) RF power source is based on a new scheme of electron pulse compression and bunch frequency multiplication using injection by transverse RF deflectors into an isochronous ring. In this paper, we describe the modifications needed in the present LEP Pre-Injector (LPI) complex at CERN in order to perform a low-charge test of the scheme. The design of the injector ...

date bunch fading (dbf) is a serious disease of date palm (phoenix dactelifera l.) in iran. fusarium proliferatum was isolated from the xylem of fruit bunch samples sent from kerman and fars provinces groves to the laboratory. koch’s postulates were completed in the greenhouse by crown injection and root inoculations. shriveling of the fruits was induced by peduncle inoculations. symptoms on th...

The Robust Conjugate Direction Search (RCDS) [1] optimizer is applied for online optimizations of the ESRF accelerators. This paper presents the successful application of the algorithm in reducing vertical emittance, improving injection efficiency and increasing lifetime. A new set of sextupole settings to increase chromaticity has been obtained with lifetimes comparable to the existing one. Th...

Two Hadamard matrices of order 764 of Goethals– Seidel type are constructed. Recall that a Hadamard matrix of order m is a {±1}-matrix A of size m × m such that AA T = mI m , where T denotes the transpose and I m the identity matrix. We refer the reader to one of [2, 4] for the survey of known results about Hadamard matrices. In our previous note [1], written about 13 years ago, we listed 17 in...

As the beam currents at the SLC are increased, transverse aperture restrictions in the ring-to-linac transport line (RTL) become increasingly important. The RTL contains a bunch compressor which introduces a large energy variation across the bunch and hence a larger transverse beam size. Since 1994 the compressor amplitude has been operating at higher than design voltage. While advantangeous fo...

An optical bunch-by-bunch beam diagnostic system, which can detect oscillations of individual bunches in a multi­ bunch operation, has been developed. The system is com­ posed of a high-speed light shutter and an optical beam­ oscillation detector. The shutter that consists of a pockels cell and polarizers can be opened or closed in a bunch spac­ ing time (2ns in KEK-PF) and it can select a lig...

A theory of transition free-electron laser ~FEL! driven by an electron bunch of finite longitudinal length is presented. It is shown that one can introduce concepts of a long, a short, and a very short bunch depending on the degree of correlation between the bunch effective length and the transition radiation formation length. It is obtained that a long Gaussian bunch produces an electromagneti...

Free electron lasers (FEL) need a very bright electron beam in three dimensions and a high peak charge density. In order to compress an initially longer electron bunch generated from the photoinjector, magnetic bunch compression systems are widely employed. In this paper, first harmonic RF linearization and its associated requirements are reviewed. Meanwhile it is also briefly discussed what is...

A prototype programmable bunch-by-bunch signal acquisition and processing channel with multiple applications in storage rings has been developed at SLAC. The processing channel supports up to 5120 bunches with bunch spac-ings as close as 1.9 ns. The prototype has been tested and operated in five storage rings: SPEAR-3, DA¨NE, PEP-II, KEKB, and ATF damping ring. The testing included such applica...
