The 10 MeV accelerator-driven subcritical system (ADS) Injector I test stand at Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) is a testing facility dedicated to demonstrate one of the two injector design schemes [Injector Scheme-I, which works at 325 MHz], for the ADS project in China. The ion source was installed since April of 2014, periods of commissioning are regularly scheduled between installation phases of the rest of the injector. Early this year, continuous wave (CW) proton beam has been successfully obtained with energy of 10MeV and average beam current around 2 mA, the single spoke cavities with smallest developed beta (βg=0.12) were applied and successfully commissioned. Single spoke cavities with higher beta (βg=0.21) were also adopted for the last cryomodule of 25MeV proton linac, and 170uA CW proton beam were shooting through recently. This contribution reports the details of the development of the C-ADS SRF accelerator at IHEP and the challenges of the CW machine commissioning, Proceedings of the 18th Int.

The 100km double ring configuration with shared su-perconducting RF system has been defined as baseline by the circular electron positron collider (CEPC) steering committee. Based on this new scheme, we will get higher luminosity for Higgs (+170%) keeping the beam power in preliminary conceptual design report (Pre-CDR) or to reduce the beam power (19 MW) while keeping same luminosity. CEPC will be compatible with W and Z ex-periment. The luminosity for Z is designed at the level of 1035 cm⁻²s^{−1}. The requirement for the energy acceptance of Higgs has been reduced to 1.5% by enlarging the ring to 100 km. The optics of arc and final focus system (FFS) with crab sextupoles has been designed, and also some primary dynamic aperture (DA) results were introduced., Proceedings of the 8th Int.

At the energies envisioned for the FCC-ee the synchrotron radiation produces not only closed orbit effects but also some dynamics effects including strong "beta-synchrotron" coupling due to radiation in the final focus quadrupoles. Past experience with LEP and other machines as well as the implications for the new wave of circular electron collider proposals will be discussed., Proceedings of the North American Particle Accelerator Conf., NAPAC2016, Chicago, IL, USA

IHEP has proposed a circular electron and positron collider (CEPC) to study the properties of the Higgs boson. In the baseline design, the circumference of CEPC will be taken as 50-70km. The single ring scheme and the partial double ring scheme are now both under study. In the single ring scheme, the electron and positron beam will share the beam pipes, thus a special orbit is needed to avoid the beam colliding at positions except the Interaction Points (IPs). While in the partial double ring scheme, the two beams will be separated into two beam pipes in the parasitic collision positions. This paper will show the latest design of the CEPC lattice, including both the pretzel and partial double ring scheme. Some critical issues that we encountered when designing the lattices will be discussed., Proceedings of the 58th ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on High Luminosity Circular e^+e^- Colliders, eeFACT2016, Daresbury, UK

High power is the development tendency of proton accelerator, so obtaining uniform beam distribution on target becomes more and more important and critical. The method of using step-like field magnets to obtain a uniform beam distribution on target was presented. In the beamdump line of CADS injector-I test facility four step-like field magnets have been installed to uniform beam distribution to reduce the maximum current density on the beamdump. The magnetic field of step-like field magnets have been measured and discussed in this paper. The simulation results and measurement results of beam uniformization are presented., Proceedings of the 8th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2017, Copenhagen, Denmark

Superconducting linear accelerator is the tendency in linac design with the development of superconducting RF technology. Superconducting cavities used as accelerating section in low energy Hadron linac are more and more common. The 5MeV test stand of CADS accelerator Injector I is composed of an ion source, a LEBT, a 325MHz RFQ, a MEBT, a cryogenic module (CM1) of seven SC spoke cavities (β=0.12) , seven SC solenoids, seven cold BPMs and a beam dump. The phase and amplitude setting of superconducting cavity are very important at the operation of accelerator, so beam based measurement of cavity phase and amplitude is necessary. Beam based phase scan is the most simple and effective method. Because the significant velocity changes in superconducting cavity at low energy section, the effective voltage is changing with cavity phase, meanwhile the synchronous phase is non-linear with LLRF phase. Above two problem make the cavity phase determination difficult. New date fitting method is proposed to solve these problem in this paper. Some measurements of spoke cavities in the CADS CM1 are also presented., Proceedings of the 7th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2016, Busan, Korea

Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2016, Busan, Korea

In this paper, we introduced the layout and lattice design of Circular-Electron-Positron-Collider (CEPC) partial double ring (PDR) scheme. The baseline design of CEPC is a single beam-pipe electron positron collider, which has to adopt pretzel orbit scheme. And it is not suitable to serve as a high luminosity Z factory. If we choose partial double ring scheme, we can get a higher luminosity with lower power and be suitable to serve as a high luminosity Z factory. In this paper, we discussed the details of CEPC partial double ring lattice design and showed the dynamic aperture study and optimization., Proceedings of the 7th Int.

With the discovery of the higgs boson at around 125GeV, a circular higgs factory design with high luminosity (L ~ 10³⁴ cm⁻²s⁻¹) is becoming more popular in the accelerator world. The CEPC project in China is one of them. To reduce the cost, pretzel scheme was considered in CEPC orbit design. The presence of every kind of errors and misalignments will destroy the pretzel orbit. In this paper, we correct the distorted pretzel orbit in the CEPC main ring using the dipole correctors and beam position monitors. The pretzel orbit was recovered and the maximum corrector strengths are got., Proceedings of the 6th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA

The CEPC (China Electron-Positron Collider) project is in the pre-research stage. When the beam energy of booster is 120 GeV, the magnetic field of deflection magnet is 640 G. In order to save funds for scientific research, we are ready to select the injection energy for 6 GeV, this corresponds to a magnetic field about 32 G. In such a low magnetic field, the effects of earth's magnetic field and ambient temperature variations cannot be ignored. In this paper, first written the collection procedures for magnetic field value and ambient temperature values by Labview software, then used a one-dimensional probe to measure the background magnetic field for three directions (Bx, By, Bz) and the value of the ambient temperature values, the time of data collection for each direction are more than 24 hours (every minute collecting a set of values). Finally, plus the different currents (3A, 6A.. 15A) to the dipole magnet, the time of measured and the data collected by over 24 hours. Based on the results of the analysis of large amounts of data, summarized and analyzed the effect of Earth's magnetic field and ambient temperature for dipole magnet in a low magnetic field., Proceedings of the 6th Int.

With the discovery of the higgs boson at around 125GeV, a circular higgs factory design with high luminosity (L ~ 10³⁴ cm⁻²s⁻¹) is becoming more popular in the accelerator world. To achieve such high luminosity, a final focus system in non-local chromaticity correction scheme with very low β functions at the interaction point is designed. The narrow momentum bandwidth is a crucial problem of this kind of design. It is shown that by introducing additional sextupoles the momentum acceptance of the CEPC final focus system can be increased by about a factor of four., Proceedings of the 6th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA

The design and error analysis of this 3MeV beam dump line will be discussed in this paper., Proceedings of the 5th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2014, Dresden, Germany
