Beam cooling enables an increase of peak and average luminosities and significantly expands the discovery potential of colliders; therefore, it is an indispensable component of any modern design. Optical Stochastic Cooling (OSC) is a high-bandwidth, beam-cooling technique that will advance the present state-of-the-art, stochastic cooling rate by more than three orders of magnitude. It is an enabling technology for next-generation, discovery-science machines at the energy and intensity frontiers including hadron and electron-ion colliders. This paper presents the status of our experimental effort to demonstrate OSC at the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) ring, a testbed for advanced beam-physics concepts and technologies that is currently being commissioned at Fermilab. Our recent efforts are centered on the development of an integrated design that is prepared for final engineering and fabrication. The paper also presents a comparison of theoretical calculations and numerical simulations of the pickup-undulator radiation and its interaction with electrons in the kicker-undulator.

The Isotope mass Separator On-Line DEvice (ISOLDE) facility located at CERN, produces and transports Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) at low or high energy through the REX/HIE-ISOLDE linear accelerator, for nuclear physics, astrophysics, solid-state physics and applied-physics purposes. Increasing the charge state of the ions is a prerequisite for efficient acceleration and is accomplished by an Electron Beam Ion Source (REXEBIS). For more effective event discrimination at the experimental detectors, such as the MINIBALL spectrometer, it is advantageous to increase the pulse width of extracted ions from this EBIS. A Slow Extraction scheme is presented which uses a function comprised of discrete voltage steps to apply the extraction potential to the EBIS trap barrier. This function effectively stretches the pulse length of both stable and radioactive ion beams, with different mass-to-charge ratios and provides for extracted pulse widths in the millisecond range. Key operational parameters of the EBIS impacting the average ionic temperature and its axial energy spread are discussed, in order to anticipate changes in the resulting ion pulse time structures during experimental runs.

Ionization cooling is the preferred method for producing bright muon beams. This cooling technique requires the operation of normal conducting, radio-frequency (RF) accelerating cavities within the multi-tesla fields of DC solenoid magnets. Under these conditions, cavities exhibit increased susceptibility to RF breakdown, which can damage channel components and imposes limits on channel length and transmission efficiency. We present a solution to the problem of breakdown in strong magnetic fields. We report, for the first time, stable high-vacuum, copper cavity operation at gradients above 50 MV/m and in an external magnetic field of three tesla. This eliminates a significant technical risk that has previously been inherent in ionization cooling channel designs.

Transverse mode-coupling instability (TMCI) with a high-frequency resonator wake is examined by the Nested Head-Tail Vlasov solver (NHT), where a Gaussian bunch in a parabolic potential (GP model) is represented by concentric rings in the longitudinal phase space. It is shown that multiple mode couplings and decouplings make impossible an unambiguous definition of the threshold, unless Landau damping is taken into account. To address this problem, instead of a single instability threshold, an interval of thresholds is suggested, bounded by the low and high intensity ones. For the broadband impedance model, the high intensity threshold is shown to follow Zotter's scaling, but smaller by about a factor of two. The same scaling, this time smaller than Zotter's by a factor of four, is found for the ABS model (Air Bag Square well).

At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the interplay between a series of effects, including intrabeam scattering (IBS), synchrotron radiation, longitudinal beam manipulations, two beam effects (beam-beam, e-cloud) and machine non-linearities, can change the population of the core and tails and lead to non-Gaussian beam distributions, at different periods during the beam cycle. By employing generalised distribution functions, it can be demonstrated that the modified non-Gaussian beam profiles have an impact in the beam emittance evolution by itself and thereby to the collider luminosity. This paper focuses on the estimation of beam distribution modification and the resulting rms beam size due to the combined effect of IBS and synchrotron radiation by employing a Monte-Carlo simulation code which is able to track 3D generalised particle distributions (SIRE). The code is first benchmarked over classical semi-analytical IBS theories and then compared with measurements from the LHC at injection and collision energies, including projections for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) high brightness regime. The impact of the distribution shape on the evolution of the bunch characteristics and machine performance is finally addressed.

PIP-II is the Fermilab's flagship project for providing powerful, high-intensity proton beams to the laboratory's experiments. The heart of PIP-II is an 800-MeV superconducting linac accelerator. It will be located in a new tunnel with new service buildings and connected to the present Booster through a new transfer line. To support the design of civil engineering and mechanical integration, this paper provides preliminary estimation of radiation level in the gallery at an operational beam loss limit of 0.1 W/m, by means of Monte Carlo calculations with FLUKA and MARS15 codes.

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) has measured the evolution of emittance due to ionization energy loss. Muons were focused onto an absorber using a large aperture solenoid. Lithium-hydride and liquid hydrogen- absorbers have been studied. Diagnostic devices were placed upstream and downstream of the focus, enabling the phase- space coordinates of individual muons to be reconstructed. By observing the properties of ensembles of muons, the change in beam emittance was measured. Data taken during 2016 and 2017 are currently under study to evaluate the change in emittance due to the absorber for muon beams with various initial emittance, momenta, and settings of the magnetic lattice. The current status and the most recent results of these analyses will be presented.

Particle colliders have been remarkably successful tools in particle and nuclear physics. What are the future trends and limitations of accelerators as they currently exist, and are there possible alternative approaches? What would the ultimate collider look like? This talk examines some challenges and possible solutions. Accelerating a single particle rather than a thermal distribution may allow exploration of more controlled interactions without background. Also, cost drivers are possibly the most important limiting factor for large accelerators in the foreseeable future so emerging technologies to reduce cost are highlighted.

We report results of the beam commissioning and first operation of the 1.3 GHz superconducting RF electron linear accelerator at Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology (FAST) facility. Construction of the linac was completed and the machine was commissioned with beam in 2017. The maximum total beam energy of about 300 MeV was achieved with the record energy gain of 250 MeV in the ILC-type SRF cryomodule. The photoinjector was tuned to produce trains of 200 pC bunches with a frequency of 3 MHz at a repetition rate of 1 Hz. This report describes the aspects of machine commissioning such as tuning of the SRF cryomodule and beam optics optimization. We also present highlights of an experimental program carried out parasitically during the two-month run, including studies of wake-fields, and advanced beam phase space manipulation.

This paper investigates the feasibility of re-purposing the MuCool Test Area (MTA) beamline and experimental hall to support a Muon Spin Resonance (MuSR) facility, which would make it the only such facility in the US. This report reviews the basic muon production concepts studied and operationally implemented at TRIUMF, PSI, and RAL and their application in the context of the MTA facility. Two scenarios were determined feasible. One, an initial minimal-shielding and capital-cost investment stage with a single secondary muon beamline that utilizes an existing high-intensity beam absorber and, another, upgraded stage, that implements an optimized production target pile, a proximate high-intensity absorber, and optimized secondary muon lines. A unique approach is proposed which chops or strips a macropulse of H- beam into a micropulse substructure - a muon creation timing scheme - which allows Muon Spin Resonance experiments in a linac environment. With this timing scheme, and attention to target design and secondary beam collection, the MTA can host enabling and competitive Muon Spin Resonance experiments.
