  1. Collimation Wakefield Simulations Carl Beard ASTeC Daresbury Laboratory

  2. Computer Simulations of Spoiler designs • Codes being developed to measure the impedance of vessels • ECHO2D, MWStudio, HFSS, GDFIDL • Calculation errors due to small angle of taper • Off axis measurements 1mm 1m The length of the structure and the frequency make simulation time very long user defined pulse possible

  3. MAFIA • MAFIA • 3D Time domain simulations allow the possibility of TDR simulations • Many benchmarks with measurement and code have validated results (SNS, CEBAF). • Limited to below 30 GHz due to memory constraints. • Particle-in-cell • Diagonal filled cells (though mesh • Many benchmarks have also unvalidated the code

  4. Meshing solutions Quadratic mesh yields fast results but poor resolution Diagonal mesh cells do allow tapers to be accurately meshed, however shallow angles lead to poor aspect ratios

  5. Time V’s accuracy Coarse mesh Fast run-time Low accuracy Fine mesh Slow run-time Good accuracy Finding the balance

  6. Microwave Studio • Same solver as MAFIA • Improved meshing (PBA) • Still limited to below 30 GHz • Early days…

  7. GDFIDL • 3D Finite difference time domain code • Lossy materials are allowed for calculations of resistive wall wakefield. • Particle-in-cell Capability • Bunch lengths could lead to lengthy simulation time • Some verifiaction with “Real” tests up to 120 GHz • Synergy with LC-ABD Cavity BPM Energy Spectrometry • GDFIDL Simulations • Bench tests with Impedance Test Apparatus • Beam tests • Cluster license purchased, to be hosted at UCL.

  8. Other codes • HFSS • Frequency domain solver • Over large bandwidths sharp resonance's could be overlooked. • Tetrahedral meshing • MAGIC • MAFIA-esque • No diagonal cells, so stepped geometry guaranteed • ECHO-2D 3D?? • Only 2D FDTD version working • Initial discussions suggested that bunch lengths were too demanding • Unproven • CST Solver (again) • Availability ?????

  9. Bench Test TDR and Transmission impedance measurements • Current apparatus provides ~ 25ps pulse • waveform analysis provides loss parameter • Critical issue: • Pulse speed! • Time ~ LC bunch sz • ~1 ps • 10 ps fastest pulse time available • VNA ~6GHz • Above 10 GHz Signal-to-noise ratio is too low ~1.7m

  10. Test Rig

  11. Test Rig 2 Matching Parts Test Vessels Launch cone

  12. Impedance Rig 3 Tektronics 7854 TDR Scope 6 GHz NA – S-parameter test set

  13. Purpose of the test • Following the last meeting in February there was a recommendation that the test gear should NOT be used for spoiler design • Benefits • Experimental expertise • Benchmarking • Low frequency verification of designs • Improve the understanding of the physics • By scaling at 100ps, 50ps, 25ps and 10ps, extrapolate for 1ps Impedance Timescale
