FY 07 plans: Start 2 m prototype magnet, continue beam optics work, continue vibration studies Vitaly Yakimenko (4/30)

High Field Magnet R&D Nb 3 Sn React-and-Wind Common Coil (twin-aperture, 4 cm gap) dipole completed and tested. Reached conductor limit, 10 T. React-and-wind can also be used for high temperature superconductor. Program terminated due to lack of funding Vitaly Yakimenko (5/30)

Superconducting Materials Development • Close collaboration with Materials Science Dept. and industry: materials expertise + magnet expertise • Low Temperature Superconductor (LTS) R&D – Nb 3 Sn conductor development – Leading LARP three-lab effort on Nb 3 Sn – Mg. B 2 wire development • High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) R&D – Bi-2223 tape and 2 nd –generation YBCO tapes • Strain sensitivity: Nb 3 Sn ≈ HTS Nb 3 Sn experience & equipment useful with HTS.

BNL LARP Magnet Program • GOAL: test Nb 3 Sn long racetrack coils and support structure input to LARP quadrupole design • Collaboration: FNAL (manager) + LBNL ( support structure) + BNL (coils) • STATUS: 30 cm racetrack coil + support structure ready to test • Transfer of “wind and react” technology from LBNL to BNL • PLANS: • test 3. 6 m coils and support structure – December 2006 • check effect of lengthening on coil, support structure • test additional 3. 6 m coil – September 2007 • check quad coil construction methods Vitaly Yakimenko (7/30)

Summary • Magnet program well aligned with the National goals: ILC, LARP.

BNL Accelerator Test Facility - ATF § § The ATF is a proposal-driven, advisory committee reviewed USER FACILITY for long-term R&D into the Physics of Beams. The ATF serves the whole community: National Labs, universities, industry and international collaborations. The ATF features: § High brightness electron gun § 75 Mev Linac § ATF contributes to Education in Beam Physics. (~2 Ph. D / year) § High power lasers beam§ In-house R&D on photoinjectors, lasers, synchronized at the picosec diagnostics, computer control and more level (TW level CO 2 laser) (~3 Phys. Rev. X / year) § 4 beam lines + controls § Support from HEP and BES. Vitaly Yakimenko (19/30)

Monochromatic beams with CO 2 laser Proton energy spectrum from a structured target. (a) Solid state laser with =1 m. (b) CO 2 laser with =10 m. The CO 2 laser produces a much narrower proton spectrum because of the narrower phase space fill. Vitaly Yakimenko (24/30)

Plasma Wakefield experiments at ATF • Multi-bunch Plasma Wakefield Acceleration at ATF, AE 31. Spokepersons T. Katsouleas and P. Muggli, Univ. Southern California. • Laser Wakefield Acceleration Driven by a CO 2 Laser, AE 32, Spokesperson W. Kimura, STI Optronics • Ion Motion in Intense Beam-Driven Plasma Wakefield (UCLA, J. Rosenzweig) • Plasma density measurement 1016 -1019 by Stark broadening Vitaly Yakimenko (25/30)

Beam splitting during compression Chicane Dog-leg Linac E • • • x-band ~2% Experimental Spectrometer beam line E ~2% Interaction of the Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) with the beam itself leads to energy modulation along the beam. It produces two distinct beams (due to two stages of compression: chicane and dog-leg) very useful for some experiments at ATF (two beam PWA). X band linac section is needed to deliver clean, low energy spread compressed beam to user experiments Structure is available, ATF has a spare modulator, SLAC needs $350 K to manufacture X-band klystron for ATF Three experimental groups will immediately benefit. Vitaly Yakimenko (26/30)

Optical Stochastic Cooling • It is feasible to cool gold and protons beams at full energy in RHIC and possibly Pb at LHC with multistage optical amplifier. • Optical parametric amplifier based on Ca. Ge. As was suggested and experimentally tested at ATF Micro-chicane Optical amplifier Pickup wiggler Bypass Kicker wiggler • Bypass experiment with electron beam at ATF Diagnostic wiggler – Will prove lattice control, optical amplifier and adequate diagnostics – It is similar to previously successful at ATF staged laser accelerator (STELLA and STELLA II) experiments. – requires dedicated manpower. Vitaly Yakimenko (27/30)

Polarized Positron Source (PPS) summary • Compton back-scattering based PPS is a backup scheme for ILC and the only choice for CLIC • We propose Compton-based PPS inside optical cavity of CO 2 laser beam and 6 Ge. V e-beam produced by linac. • The proposal utilizes commercially available units for laser and accelerator systems. • The proposal requires high power picoseconds CO 2 laser mode of operation developed at ATF. (ATF is the only facility in the world with operational Joule/picosecond CO 2 laser system. ) • 3 year laser R&D is needed to verify laser operation in the non standard regime. Vitaly Yakimenko (28/30)

Conclusion • The experimental program at ATF is strong, broad and relevant to HEP • It is aimed at near, intermediate and long term accelerator R&D: – – Beam brightness, compression (LCLS) Polarized Positron Source (ILC and CLIC) Optical Stochastic Cooling (RHIC and LHC upgrade) Beam and laser based Plasma Wakefield Accelerators (PWA), ion movement in the PWA (ILC upgrade) – Laser based accelerators (post ILC) – Compact, high brightness laser based proton, ion and neutron sources (medical applications, injector, security…) • ATF plays important role in education of accelerator scientists • The support and progress of the user experiments is seriously limited by the accelerator staff level Vitaly Yakimenko (29/30)
