Is the Thomas precession a source of SR power?

The structural composition and the properties of the first quantum spin-orientation-dependent correction to synchrotron radiation power are discussed. On the basis of spin mass renormalization it is shown that, in the conventional sence, the Thomas precession is not a source of relativistic radiation. This conclusion is in agreement with well-known statements on the spin dependence of mass and purely kinematic origin of Thomas precession.Comment: 7 pages, LATEX, to be published in Nucl.

Beam-Breakup Instability Theory for Energy Recovery Linacs

Here we will derive the general theory of the beam-breakup instability in recirculating linear accelerators, in which the bunches do not have to be at the same RF phase during each recirculation turn. This is important for the description of energy recovery linacs (ERLs) where bunches are recirculated at a decelerating phase of the RF wave and for other recirculator arrangements where different RF phases are of an advantage. Furthermore it can be used for the analysis of phase errors of recirculated bunches. It is shown how the threshold current for a given linac can be computed and a remarkable agreement with tracking data is demonstrated. The general formulas are then analyzed for several analytically solvable cases, which show: (a) Why different higher order modes (HOM) in one cavity do not couple so that the most dangerous modes can be considered individually. (b) How different HOM frequencies have to be in order to consider them separately. (c) That no optics can cause the HOMs of two cavities to cancel. (d) How an optics can avoid the addition of the instabilities of two cavities. (e) How a HOM in a multiple-turn recirculator interferes with itself. Furthermore, a simple method to compute the orbit deviations produced by cavity misalignments has also been introduced. It is shown that the BBU instability always occurs before the orbit excursion becomes very large.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure

Superconducting high-field wigglers and wave length shifters in Budker INP

Several high-field superconducting wigglers (SCW) and wavelength shifters (WLS) are fabricated in the Budker INP for generation of synchrotron radiation. Three-pole WLS with the magnetic field of 7.5 T are installed on LSU‑CAMD and BESSY-II storage rings for shifting the radiation spectrum. WLS with the field of 10.3 T will be used for generation of slow positrons on SPring-8. Creation of a 13-pole 7 T wiggler for the BESSY-II and 45-pole 3.5 T wiggler for ELETTRA now is finished. The main characteristics, design features and synchrotron radiation properties of SCW and WLS created in the Budker INP are presented in this article

Status of the Novosibirsk terahertz FEL

The first stage of Novosibirsk high-power free-electron laser (FEL) was commissioned in 2003. It is based on a normal conducting CW energy recovery linac. Now the FEL provides electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of 120…180 micrometers. An average power is 400 W. The minimum measured line width is 0.3%, which is close to the Fourier-transform limit. A user-beamline assembly is in progress, parts of the full-scale machine are manufactured. The latter will operate in the near IR region and provide higher average powerВ 2003 году в Новосибирске заработала первая очередь мощного лазера на свободных электронах (ЛСЭ).

The Large Hadron-Electron Collider at the HL-LHC

The Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC) is designed to move the field of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to the energy and intensity frontier of particle physics. Exploiting energy-recovery technology, it collides a novel, intense electron beam with a proton or ion beam from the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). The accelerator and interaction region are designed for concurrent electron-proton and proton-proton operations. This report represents an update to the LHeC's conceptual design report (CDR), published in 2012. It comprises new results on the parton structure of the proton and heavier nuclei, QCD dynamics, and electroweak and top-quark physics. It is shown how the LHeC will open a new chapter of nuclear particle physics by extending the accessible kinematic range of lepton-nucleus scattering by several orders of magnitude. Due to its enhanced luminosity and large energy and the cleanliness of the final hadronic states, the LHeC has a strong Higgs physics programme and its own discovery potential for new physics. Building on the 2012 CDR, this report contains a detailed updated design for the energy-recovery electron linac (ERL), including a new lattice, magnet and superconducting radio-frequency technology, and further components. Challenges of energy recovery are described, and the lower-energy, high-current, three-turn ERL facility, PERLE at Orsay, is presented, which uses the LHeC characteristics serving as a development facility for the design and operation of the LHeC. An updated detector design is presented corresponding to the acceptance, resolution, and calibration goals that arise from the Higgs and parton-density-function physics programmes. This paper also presents novel results for the Future Circular Collider in electron-hadron (FCC-eh) mode, which utilises the same ERL technology to further extend the reach of DIS to even higher centre-of-mass energies.Peer reviewe
