Component replacement

Abstract:

Session:Paper No.:One of the issues that face all high energy beam accelerators is thatof active component replacement. This can arise through failure ofcomponents, the need to carry out maintenance or upgrading ofsystems to increase output efficiency. During the year 2001/2 RAL
undertook a major upgrade on the most active area of the ISIS
accelerator ring, "straight 1". This section of the ISIS accelerator
contains a collector system for containing lost beam during
injection and the beam extraction components. The case forcarrying out this work was driven by several aspects of machine
operation: component failure, lack of purpose built shielding, highdownstream activity levels, original design restrictions causing
beam clipping and the need for re-designing several components tomeet the needs of future intensity upgrades.

PosterSoftware or Tools
Cyclotron
VisualAssistance
Cyclotron start-up operations require dozens of adjustableparameters to be tuned to maximize extracted beam current.
Experienced operators perform this process through trial and error
using their experience and intuition. However, the process isdifficult for inexperienced operators because operator need toadjust parameters using little information such as measured beamdata, alarm, status of components, and so on. We have developed
a computer-based visual assistance system for JAERI AVF
cyclotron. The system provides a CRT display: the cyclotron beam
trajectories, feasible setting regions, search traces and the beamenvelopes for external beam transport designed to optimize beam
parameter adjustment. The evaluation experiment for the system
was carried out and the operation time to reach required beam
conditions of the injection region of the cyclotron was reduced byapproximately 65%. Also the system is very useful to study the
problems on the beam transport such as beam trajectory, envelope,
beam profile, spot size and so on.

PATRO (Particle Accelerator for Therapy, Radiology and Oncology)
is a medical accelerator facility for hadrontherapy (Particle therapyof cancer) at Hyogo Ion Beam Medical Center (HIBMC). It consists of
two 10 GHz ECR ion sources, 1 MeV/u RFQ linac, 5 MeV/u Alvarez
linac, synchrotron, high-energy beam transport system and patient
irradiation system. Beam particles for therapy are proton (230 MeV)
and carbon (320 MeV/u). We started the beam commissioning andthe tuning of irradiation system in 2000. We performed the clinical
trials (60 patients) with proton and carbon beams from May 2001
until July 2002. We operated the accelerator for about 11,000 hours
since the beginning of the beam tuning until the end of the clinical
trials and for about 5,000 hours during the clinical trials. No serious
troubles happened during the clinical trials. The stability and the
reproducibility of the beams were well proved.

Abstract:

Session:Paper No.:The use of an online (electronic) Operations Log (in place of a

considerably.
This presentation is designed to review theadvantages of these two tools. Designing an online Operations
Log that is user-friendly and that meets an accelerator's legal andpractical requirements is quite a challenge. Permanent storage ofentries, irreversability, searchability, remote accessibility are among
the important criteria for a successful online Operations Log.
Creating an online Message Board for ideas, suggestions, andresources can also improve the interaction of an Operations Group.
The software involved in developing both these tools is notespecially complex, and the improvement in reliability andefficiency of operations is well worth the effort.

Sharing operation

GSI is the heavy ion research center in Germany operating three
accelerators UNILAC (linac), SIS (synchrotron) and ESR (storagering) on the fields of nuclear and atomic physics, plasma physics,
material research and biophysics. Approximately a quarter of the
6000h of the SIS operation time per year is used for cancer
treatment with carbon ions at 255 different energies employing anovel raster scan method. About 150 people suffering from tumors
mostly in the head region have been treated since the end of 1997.
The applied scanning technique allows the direct irradiation of any
shaped tumors and prevents the healthy tissue from irradiation
damage. This procedure is connected to special demands
concerning beam energy, beam position, focusing and intensity.
The annual beam time consists of 3 beam periods with a length of
27 days. Five days are reserved for commissioning and tuning, 22days for patient treatment. The integral request of the daily beamtime for therapy is only about 50%. The rest of the operation time
is used mostly in block mode to carry out physics experiments.
Based on the requirements by the therapy operation the special
technical and organizational measures for a reliable operation as
well
as experiences of time sharing operation are discussed.

Improving Beam Set-Up using an Online Beam Optics Tool

The GSI accelerator facility consists of the Universal Linear Accelerator(UNILAC), the heavy ion synchrotron SIS and the Experimental Storage
Ring (ESR). Two UNILAC injectors serve diverse purposes. The High
Current Injector (HSI) provides high intense but short pulses, whereas theHigh Charge State Injector (HLI) supplies long pulses with a high duty
factor of up to 30 %. Before entering the Alvarez section of the UNILAC theion beam from the HSI is stripped in a supersonic gas jet. Up to threedifferent ion species can be accelerated for up to five experiments in atime-sharing mode. Frequent changes of beam energy and intensity
during a single beam time period may result in time consuming set-up andtuningespecially

of

the

beam-transport-lines.

To

shortenthesechangeover times an online optics tool (MIRKO EXPERT) has beendeveloped. This software tool is used in the high energy as well in the low
and medium energy beam transport lines. Based on online emittan!

cemeasurements at well defined locations the beam envelopes arecalculated by reading the actual magnet settings. The visualization of thebeam envelopes helps to better understand the beam dynamics. Resultsof fitting procedures can be directly sent to

the magnet power supplies.

The program is able to read profile grid measurements, so that an
automated beam alignment is established and steering times areminimized. Experiences with this tool will be reported. At the UNILAC
special focus is put on high current operation with short but intense beampulses. Limitations such as missing nondestructive beam diagnostics,
insufficient longitudinal beam matching, and influence of non realistic
magnetic fields will be discussed. Special attention will be put on thelimits due to highSession:Paper No.:

Abstract:

Hiroshima University

HiSOR is a synchrotron light source constructed at Hiroshima
Synchrotron Radiation Center, Hiroshima University in FY1996.
After some improvement, upgrade and tuning, the storage currentof the HiSOR was up to 200mA in May 2000. As the stored current
increased more and vacuum degree was better by repeating
degassing operation, the beam instability problem at injection andat acceleration was severer. At present, changing the operation
point at injection and updating the tracking pattern at accelerationfrom 150MeV to 700MeV is only a way to suppress the beam
instability of the HiSOR. In near future, we will get approval from theradiation protection authority for the operation with 350mA. Then
we are getting ready for upgrade of the HiSOR in order to operate

Takasaki Ion Accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application(TIARA) facility at JAERI Takasaki was constructed to promote thevarious researches of wide field for materials science andbiotechnology. The AVF cyclotron system, which is the one of four
ion accelerators in TIARA, has been smoothly operated without any
serious troubles since the first beam extraction in March 1991. The
operation time for a year is about 3200 hours on an average throughrecent 8 years. In especially, the cyclotron system is needed thefrequent alteration of operation condition according to many kindsof ion species required from the experimenters. On the other
hand, because of the improvement of the beam quality, intensity
and reliability, we have carried out continuously so far manyreconstruction and development, several items of which are therenewal of a computer control system, reinforcement of the ion
source, acceleration technique for some series of cocktail beams,
stabilization of the cyclotron beam and design of a new gradientcorrector including an active coil.
Furthermore, now we areadvancing various countermeasure to form the micro beam of 1
micron-meter size by means of focused type, such as theintroduction of a flat-top acceleration system, reconstruction of thecyclotron center region, installation of a pair of precise micro slit
systems in the trunk beam transport line, and so on.

Keyword 1:
Abstract:

BEPC operation made a great progress in the 2001-2002 year. The total operation time was6372 hours, in which 2473 hours are for high energy physics experiments, 1888 hours forthe synchrotron radiation application, 837 hours for the injection, 173 hours for the
breakdown, 402 hours for hardware maintenance and regulation, and 556 hours for themachine studies, respectively. Compared with last year, the total operation time exceeded
the operation plan by 348 hours because of the high operation efficiency.
1 operation for high energy physics.

Operation for the high energy physics account forthe 38.8%. While BES operating at the resonance peak of psi(2s)…..(3770), the maximum
current achieved 90mA. Due to the effort of operation group, many record such as peakluminary were broken. 14.63 million hadron case was collected compared with the plan
which is 14 million. Meanwhile 168 hours was offered to the 10th experiment hall for the
BES… design.
2 operation for synchrotron radiation.

Accounting for 29.6%, 1888 hours was offered tosynchrotron radiation which is the most operation time up to now, in synchrotron mode,the maximum current achieved 120-130mA with 20-30 hours lifetime. 293 BSRF experimenttasks is completed. On the whole, beam quality and operation efficiency is satisfied.
3 machine studies.

Total machine studies time is 556.9 hours in last periods, in order toensure the operation of BES and synchrotron, less time is used to study the machine. As
for the storage ring, the machine studies focused on the following question, PEI
experiment, BBA, RF system three cavity tuning and BEPC coupling measurement and soon. As BEPC.. the injector,

machine studies is also important for Linear accelerator, many

results were achieved on the energy gain research, positron beam, energy spread,buncher and prebuncher adjusting which is essential to keep greater beam and injector
rate, the inject rate is more than 3 mA/sec on the average.

In addition, injection time is837 hours, recovery time is 173 which was greatly less than the last periods.

Abstract:

Session:Paper No.:The Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC) serving for both highenergy physics experiments and synchrotron radiation application
has been well operated for more than 13 years since May 1989. Afterthe luminosity upgrade program from 1999, the performance andstability of the operation were much improved in recent years. The
peak luminosity of the BEPC has reached 5*10^30cm^-2s^-1 at J/psi
energy of 1.55GeV and 1*10^31cm^-2s^-1 at psi(2S) energy of
1.84GeV respectively. Over 50 million J/psi events wereaccumulated in two years from Sept. 1999 and 14 million psi(2S)
events have been taken in the last run from Sept. 2001 to June 2002.
For dedicated synchrotron radiation operation, the maximum beam
current is around 120mA with lifetime over 20~30 hours. In addition,
two insertion devices as well as new beamlines were installed in thelast summer(2002). Besides, experimental studies for the machinedevelopment and BEPCII R&D are being carried out. Improvementon the machine operation system and the database is still underway. It's expected that BEPC will continue to run stably till themounting of BEPCII starts. The operation and performance of BEPC
will be described in this paper in details.

ACCELERATOR RELIABILITY – AVAILABILITY
Oral
Accelerator reliability

Availability

This talk will summarize the topics presented at the Accelerator
Reliability Workshop held in Grenoble in February 2002. Following
a pioneering period during which the major concern of accelerator
physicists was to achieve the highest intensity as well as explore
the largest range of energy, accelerators quickly became a tool at
the service of a wide community. Accelerators started to be used for
medical and industrial purposes. Now, a single accelerator can also
serve a wide range of Users at the same time (X-rays sources).
Reaching a high Mean Time Between Failure as well as highavailability became a constraint for such Machines. Various
spallation neutron sources are upgraded. The idea of using them fortransmutation processes or in the long term, to replace theconventional nuclear reactors, has now been comprehensively
studied. Besides pure accelerator physics considerations, it is now
agreed that the reliability of these accelerators must be drastically
improved with respect to the present situation. Through concrete
examples, this presentation will show what is the price to pay toachieve dreaming machines!

Radiation safety
Beam losses
Radiation safety

The ESRF has been in operation for more than 10 years. In addition
to the day-to-day effort brought to improve the beam availability andthe mean time between failures, a particular attention is paid to fulfil
the Radiationprotection regulations and to understand the physicalmechanisms of losses. The role of the Operator regarding thesafety issues is of major importance and therefore many tools andprocedures have been implemented to give him the possibility toensure the operation of the accelerators in the safest condition.
Monitoring of parameters, diagnostics tools, losses localisationmeans and beam interlocks have been developed and areoperational from the Control Room. Various measures have also
been taken to minimise the risk of radiation losses such as injection
efficiency improvement, additional shielding on equipment andinfrastructure, research and development on vacuum vesselmaterial, pumping means and baking procedure, scheduling ofoperating modes. Particular procedures to be strictly observed incase of abnormal lifetime drop or vacuum pressure alarms havebeen created. As a result of all these efforts made to improve thesafe performance of the Machine, the topping up with opened front
ends will become the normal way to operate and contribute toimprove the performance of the beamlines.

Abstract:

Session:Paper No.:To get a job well done one must have good tools. Operators at
Jefferson Lab play a very important role in software tools
development. Working in the machine control center operators use
computers to control the accelerator everyday. The operators
have the first-hand experience and know exactly what they need to
run the machine. Besides providing valuable information tosoftware group the operators write code to develop new tools to fit
their needs.

Abstract:

Session:Paper No.:

Accelerator Engineering Corporation (AEC) is a private company,
which is charged with the operations of HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical
Accelerator in Chiba) accelerator complex. Our major jobs are theaccelerator operation and maintenance services, but also areincluded technical supports of user's irradiation experiments,
cancer therapy and relating treatment planning. The necessary
technologies are widely spread due to such various support jobs.
And, because most of the personnels have different backgrounds
and are usually not accelerator-related, recruitment and personnel
training are therefore important and urgent problem, being stillongoing matter.

Abstract:

Session:Paper No.:takenori.suzuki@kek.jp

KEK has many types of accelerators, which can accelerate
electrons, positrons and protons up to 10GeV, 3.5GeV and 12GeV,
respectively. These are the main radiation sources at KEK. The
operation of these accelerator complex is producing radiation to theenvironment and experimental holes. The shielding design ofaccelerators must be done to reduce radiation dose as small as
possible for radiation workers and general public during theaccelerator operation. After terminating the operation, the mainradiation source is created by radioactive accelerator components
in the beam line tunnel. Maintenance workers is often to receive alarge dose during their work inside the beam line. In order toprevent for radiation workers to receive the large dose, KEK has adesign standard of accelerator shielding and a rule to control
radiation dose daily, weekly and yearly.
In this presentation, theradiation dose control and the standard of accelerator design at
KEK will be reviewed.

Poster
How we do business

The Siam Photon Source is a second hand machine that wastransferred from the SORTEC Laboratory. The high energy beamtransport line and storage ring have been modified to have a moreadvanced structure in the Siam Photon Source. The successful
electron storage was achieved in December 2001. At present, themaximum stored current is 128 mA and the beam lifetime at 100 mA
is 40 minutes and the data is being refined continuously. Since theoriginal machine was built about 15 year ago, we have foundvarious problems inherent in an old and used machine and in theinfrastructure of the area during the course of the component
storage the machine commissioning. In this report, the problems
and their cures are described. Representative examples aredegradation of machine components, defects in the original
hardware system including mistakes in the circuit design, capturingof internal and external noise affecting the machine operation
control system, the irregular floor settlement causing a large COD
and inappropriate design of the cooling water system and the
air-conditioning system. Experiences made here provide us with
useful examples of trouble shooting covering various fields ofaccelerator technology.

Abstract:

Session:Paper No.:The VEPP-4 complex, comprising injector, VEPP-3 storage ring and
VEPP-4M collider, provides electron and positron beams fordifferent experiments in parallel.
Due to implementation
Linux-based machines in the VEPP-4 Control System the vast
statistics are available and are used for the analysis of the stability
and reliability of the machines. The improvement of the Control
System allowed us to successfully accomplish the precisionexperiment of measuring of the J/psi- and psi'-meson masses. Now
the experiment of tau-lepton mass measuring is being prepared on
the VEPP-4 complex in which the analysis of the machineparameters will play a vital part. The paper reviews an opportunity
for data acquisition in the VEPP-4 Control System. Machine
operations schedules for different user works will also be presented
in this paper.

Abstract:

Session:Paper No.:The operation time of KEK-PS machine has increased rapidly. The
operation schedule is so tight, that machine users request to repair
as soon as possible in the case of machine trouble. We introduce
the transition of the beam intensity, residual activity in PS area,
itemized machine operation time and itemized machine troubles.
Even if a magnet with high radiation dose is broken, we mustchange it to the spare soon. We ask PS-staff to join the work forchanging the magnet according to the order list which is made bysome formula consist of individual age and radiation exposureamount. It is very important to watch the environment in PS area, as
the fire alarm and TV so on. However, those equipments are weakagainst radiation damage. We also report the radiation dose during
the operation in PS area and troubles of their equipments.

areas. To further streamline the process, iris scanners are used toverify the C-AD Access training required to release the access keys.
Iris scanner technology was chosen based on its high reliability
rating. Its rate of false identification is a factor of a 1000 lower than
hand reader technology. This ensures more accurate tracking ofusers accessing beam enclosures. The advantages anddisadvantages for using iris scanners in an experimental accesssystem will be presented.
