Four Rod LHC Crab Cavity workshop
19 August 2011
The Cockcroft Institute hosted a special workshop on a novel new type of crab cavity for the LHC high luminosity upgrade on the 16th and 17th August. The "Four Rod LHC Crab Cavity workshop" organised by the Cockcroft Institute had speakers from CERN, JLab, TechX as well as speakers from the Cockcroft Institute. Talks covered EM design, multipactor, prototype testing, cavity manufacture and cryostat design. The workshop was a review of the current electromagnetic cavity design as well as a planning meeting on the manufacture of the first such cavities in Niobium and the design of a cryostat. The participants also had a tour of the DICC cryomodule assembly in the Engineering Technology Centre and the Security Futures Laboratory.
First acceleration for the Compact electron linac
27 July 2011
On the 25th July the compact electron linac achieved first acceleration. The current was measured to be around 10 mA at the Faraday Cup at the end of the linac (see attached image). A dipole magnet used to deflect the beam to the FC suggests the beam had an energy of around 430 keV. This was confirmed with a radiation monitor. Further tests this morning suggest that higher energy had been achieved but misalignments in the diagnostics line meant that these electrons did not reach the FC.

The ALPHA-X (Advanced Laser-Plasma High-energy Accelerators towards X-rays) project develops laser-plasma accelerators and applies these to producing coherent short-wavelength radiation in conventional and plasma wiggler sources. Members of the ALPHA-X project gave talks at an open meeting on a range of experimental and theoretical topics including measurement of ultrashort electron bunch temporal profiles, properties of dispersive media in linear and rotational motion, a new kinetic theory of radiation reaction and the origin of the Schott term, challenges in beam collimation, tapered capilliary waveguides, LWFA beam line simulations, granularity effects in high brightness electron bunches and new techniques for investigating short-pulse propagation using ray tracing. The meeting was opened with an invited review talk about electron beam experimental methods and recent results from ALICE.

We had so many troubles during beam commissioning, while 64 C-band klystrons were running nicely. After three month fight we came to this result. Reality is always hard, but we can make it if we continue to do so. " - Tsumoru Shintake

CI Summer Lecture Series
Announcing
details of the Cockcroft Institute lecture series to be presented during
the summer term of 2011. Full details, including dates and times, are shown
on the lecture series
poster. I am delighted to recommend the present programme, which provides
an essential background in accelerator physics. The series begins with
a week (Monday through Friday) of intensive lectures, commencing the 4th
of July, by Prof. Alex Chao from Stanford University on Special Topics
in Accelerator Physics. Here he will cover topics of current interest in
accelerators: echo effect in accelerators (presently being investigated
experimentally at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory), laser acceleration
(an important topic with the potential for very large gradient future compact
accelerators), gravitational instability, and lie algebra (important for
accelerator optics analysis). Experimental and practical details on lasers
and acceleration are provided the following week by Dr. Graeme Hirst from
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The summer series is then completed by
lectures on the topic of polarised beams. Here we are fortunate to have
the lecturers Dr. Ian Bailey and Dr. Gudrid Moortgat-Pick, from the University
of Lancaster/Cockcroft Inst. and University of Hamburg/DESY laboratory,
respectively. This course covers both the fundamentals and means of production
of polarised beams.

Due to unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances, Professor Rodolfo Bonifacio is unable to present his series of lectures on Classical and Quantum Theory of FELs and they have therefore had to be cancelled. It is possible, they may be rescheduled at a future date. Unfortunately however, this means that there will be no lectures for the week commencing 14 March.
Lectures will resume on Monday 21 March 2011 with Ion Sources and Beam Diagnostics being given by Dr Christoph Gabor.
The lectures on Low Energy Accelerators and Storage Rings: Introduction and Diagnostics that were cancelled on the 14 February, due to the indisposition of the lecturer, have been rescheduled and will be presented by Dr Carsten Welsch on Monday 16 May and Monday 23 May 2011.

1 November 2010
We are pleased to announce that Chris Lingwood (http://www.engineering.lancs.ac.uk/people/Chris_Lingwood) has just passed his PhD and completed all corrections to examiners satisfaction.
Chris's thesis was on "High Power, High Efficiency Multiple-Beam Klystron Design" in which he investigated the design of the RF amplifier for the drive beam of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). His supervisors were Prof. Richard Carter and Dr Graeme Burt at Lancaster University and the work was performed in collaboration with Thales and Erk Jenson and Igor Syratchev of CERN. His external examiners (Prof. Manfred Thumm and Dr Adrian Cross) remarked on the high standard of the thesis and how much work had been done.
Chris is now a research associate at Lancaster University and is working on Klystron Design and Multipactor in RF components.

A Special Message from The Director
Dear colleagues: It could not have been a system any simpler: a set of carbon atoms held in a two-dimensional lattice with remarkable properties……the ‘Graphene’, a mono-layer of carbon atoms, a carbon sheet that is a single atom thick. It took over a decade of absolute focus and penetrating investigations to understand its properties which led to this years’ recognition of the two Nobel Prize winners from the Univ. of Manchester. The north-west of England has done it again and this must inspire and mean a lot to the Cockcroft Institute scientists and engineers. read more »
