Third Interger Resonance Slow Extraction Using RFKO at High Space Charge
A proposal to search for direct {\mu}-->e conversion at Fermilab requires
slow, resonant extraction of an intense proton beam. Large space charge forces
will present challenges, partly due to the substantial betatron tune spread.
The main challenges will be maintaining a uniform spill profile and moderate
losses at the septum. We propose to use "radio frequency knockout" (RFKO) for
fine tuning the extraction. Strategies for the use of the RFKO method will be
discussed here in the context of the Mu2e experiment. The feasibility of this
method has been demonstrated in simulations.Comment: 3 pp. 2nd International Particle Accelerator Conference: IPAC 2011.

Measurement and correction of linear optics and coupling at tevatron complex
The optics measurements have played important role in improving the performance of Tevatron collider. Until recently, most of them were based on the differential orbit measurements with data analysis, which neglects measurement inaccuracies such as differences in differential responses of beam position monitors, their rolls, etc. To address these complications we have used a method based on the analysis of many differential orbits. That creates the redundancy in the data allowing to get more detailed understanding of the machine. In this article we discuss the progress with Tevatron optics correction, its present status and future improvements

8 GeV beam line optics optimization for the rapid antiproton transfers at Fermilab
Tevatron Run-II upgrade requires a significant increase of the efficiency and speed of the antiproton transfers from the Accumulator to the Recycler. The goal for the total transfer time is challenging a reduction from 1 hour down to a few minutes. Here we discuss the beam line optics aspects of this project. Results of lattice measurements and optimization are analyzed in terms of transport efficiency and stability
ML-based Real-Time Control at the Edge: An Approach Using hls4ml
This study focuses on implementing a real-time control system for a particle
accelerator facility that performs high energy physics experiments. A critical
operating parameter in this facility is beam loss, which is the fraction of
particles deviating from the accelerated proton beam into a cascade of
secondary particles. Accelerators employ a large number of sensors to monitor
beam loss. The data from these sensors is monitored by human operators who
predict the relative contribution of different sub-systems to the beam loss.
Using this information, they engage control interventions. In this paper, we
present a controller to track this phenomenon in real-time using edge-Machine
Learning (ML) and support control with low latency and high accuracy. We
implemented this system on an Intel Arria 10 SoC. Optimizations at the
algorithm, high-level synthesis, and interface levels to improve latency and
resource usage are presented. Our design implements a neural network, which can
predict the main source of beam loss (between two possible causes) at speeds up
to 575 frames per second (fps) (average latency of 1.74 ms). The practical
deployed system is required to operate at 320 fps, with a 3ms latency
requirement, which has been met by our design successfully
Search for Kaluza-Klein Graviton Emission in Collisions at TeV using the Missing Energy Signature
We report on a search for direct Kaluza-Klein graviton production in a data
sample of 84 of \ppb collisions at = 1.8 TeV, recorded
by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We investigate the final state of large
missing transverse energy and one or two high energy jets. We compare the data
with the predictions from a -dimensional Kaluza-Klein scenario in which
gravity becomes strong at the TeV scale. At 95% confidence level (C.L.) for
=2, 4, and 6 we exclude an effective Planck scale below 1.0, 0.77, and 0.71
TeV, respectively.Comment: Submitted to PRL, 7 pages 4 figures/Revision includes 5 figure
Measurement of the average time-integrated mixing probability of b-flavored hadrons produced at the Tevatron
We have measured the number of like-sign (LS) and opposite-sign (OS) lepton
pairs arising from double semileptonic decays of and -hadrons,
pair-produced at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data samples were
collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) during the 1992-1995
collider run by triggering on the existence of and candidates
in an event. The observed ratio of LS to OS dileptons leads to a measurement of
the average time-integrated mixing probability of all produced -flavored
hadrons which decay weakly, (stat.)
(syst.), that is significantly larger than the world average .Comment: 47 pages, 10 figures, 15 tables Submitted to Phys. Rev.
