Optimising the present and designing the future: a novel SPS injection system

Waagaard, Elias January 2022 (has links)
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) injection system plays a fundamental role to preserve the quality of injected high-brightness beams for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) physics program and to maintain the maximum storable intensity. The present system is the result of years of upgrades and patches of a system not conceived for such intensities and beam qualities. In this study, we first investigate the effect of emittance growth due to amplitude-dependent tune shifts for erroneously injected beams. As a next step, we propose the design of a completely new injection system for the SPS using multi-level numerical optimisation, including realistic hardware assumptions. Methods and pseudo-algorithms of how this hierarchical optimisation framework can be adapted to other situations for optimal accelerator system design are shown. In addition, we explore the benefits of a numerical optimisation framework for the current SPS injection kicker timing system to minimise residual injection oscillations for maximised delivered beam intensity. We also demonstrate how a simple neural network based upon recorded data can approximate the injection system as a surrogate model, allowing for further studies of different optimisation algorithms even without beam time.

Space Charge Modeling at the Integer Resonance for the CERN PS and SPS

Titze, Malte 11 June 2020 (has links)
Die elektromagnetische Wechselwirkung der Teilchen untereinander, wie sie typischerweise in einem Strahl hoher Intensität in den CERN Beschleunigern auftritt, kann in Langzeitsimulationen nicht vernachlässigt werden. Simulationen sind insbesondere notwendig, um diese Beschleuniger zu optimieren und die zugrundeliegende kohärente und inkohärente Dynamik besser zu verstehen. Die Auswirkungen der unumgänglichen Vereinfachungen in der Modellierung der komplizierten Dynamik müssen deshalb untersucht werden. Wir gehen diese Aufgabe an, indem wir sechs verschiedene Strahlführungsmodelle am CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) und am Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) untersuchen, die wir dynamisch in der Nähe von horizontalen Integer-Resonanzen operieren. Die sechs Modelle, welche insgesamt in den beiden bewährten Programmpaketen MAD-X und PyOrbit implementiert sind, werden mit den jeweiligen Messungen an beiden Maschinen verglichen, wobei der Schwerpunkt hier auf dem PS liegt. / In long-term tracking simulations of high-intensity beams which are typical in the CERN accelerators, the electromagnetic interaction between the individual particles can not be neglected. Simulations are required to optimize the performance of the accelerators, and to better understand the involved coherent and incoherent dynamics. The impact due to the unavoidable simplifications when modeling the complex dynamics must therefore be studied. We approach this task by examining six different tracking models, applied to the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), both of which were dynamically operated near horizontal integer resonances. The six models, which are overall implemented in the well-known program packages MAD-X and PyOrbit, are compared to beam-based measurements on both machines, with the PS as the main emphasis.
