| abstract: | The proposal to perform a series of plasma lens experiments at the Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC has been described earlier. We report on our progress towards validation of concepts involved in the experiments, including the laser ionized plasma production test, development of the supersonic gas jet as the plasma source, and study on focused beam size measurement techniques. Most importantly, the effects of background events due to plasma lenses in future linear collider detectors, such as that in the NLC, are studied in details and are shown to be within detector tolerances. |

| abstract: | We intend to carry out a series of plasma lens experiments at the Final Focus Test Beam facility at SLAC. These experiments will be the first to study the focusing of particle beams by plasma focusing devices in the parameter regime of interest for high energy colliders, and is expected to lead to plasma lens designs capable of unprecedented spot sizes. Plasma focusing of positron beams will be attempted for the first time. We will study the effects of lens aberrations due to various lens imperfections. Several approaches will be applied to create the plasma required including laser ionization and beam induced tunneling ionization of a working gas - the latter which has never been observed before. The compactness of our device should prove to be of interest for applications at the SLC and the next generation linear colliders. |

| abstract: | A compact 20 MeV linac with an RF laser-driven electron gun will drive a high-gain (10 cm gain length), 10.6 mu m wavelength FEL amplifier, operating in the SASE mode. FEL physics in the high-gain regime will be studied, including start-up from noise, optical guiding, sidebands, saturation, and superradiance, with emphasis on the effects important for future short wavelength operation of FELs. The hybrid undulator, designed and built at the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in the USSR has forty periods, each 1.5 cm long, the magnetic material is a hybrid combination of SmCo_5 blocks and Nd-Fe-B blocks, with vanadium-permendur yokes. The gap distance between pole-tips is fixed at 5 mm. On axis the peak value of the completed undulator's magnetic field was measured to be 7.3 kGauss (+/- 0.25%). Measurements during the conditioning phase of the RF gun for the electron beam's peak dark-current show 6 mA without the longitudinal magnetic focusing field in the gun and 34 mA with the focusing field active. The peak current from photoemission is calculated to be 200 A. |

| abstract: | The UCLA compact 20-MeV/c electron linear accelerators is designed to produce a single electron bunch with a peak current of 200 A, an RMS energy spread of 0.2% or less, and a short 1.2-ps RMS pulse duration. The linac is also designed to minimize emittance growth down the beamline so as to obtain emittances on the order of 8 pi mm-mrad in the experimental region. The linac will feed two beamlines, the first will run straight into the undulator for FEL experiments while the second will be used for diagnostics, longitudinal bunch compression and other electron beam experiments. A description is given of the considerations that went into the design of the accelerating structures and the transport to the experimental areas. (8 References). |

| title: | Vacuum Design for a Superconducting Mini-collider |
| format: | preprint |
| year: | 1991 |
| 2 authors: | | |
| abstract: | The phi factory (Superconducting Mini-Collider or SMAC) proposed for construction at UCLA is a single storage rign with circulating currents of 2A each of electrons and positrons. The small circumference exacerbates the difficulties of handling the gas load due to photo-desorption from the chamber walls. We analyze the vacuum system for the phi factory to specify design choices. |

| title: | Design of the Vacuum System for the High Energy Ring of an Asymmetric B-Factory Based on PEP |
| format: | preprint |
| year: | 1991 |
| 4 authors: | | | | |
| abstract: | The multi-ampere currents required for high luminosity operation of an asymmetric B factory leads to extremely stressing requirements on a vacuum system suitable for maintaining long beam-gas lifetimes and acceptable background levels in the dtector. We present the design for a Cu alloy vacuum chamber and its associated pumping system for the 9GeV electron storage ring of the proposed B factory based on PEP. The excellent thermal and photo-desorption properties of Cu allows handling the high photon flux in a conventional, single chamber design with distributed ion pumps. The x-ray opacity of the Cu is sufficiently high that no additional lead shielding is necessary to protect the dipoles from the intense synchrotron radtiation generated by the beam. The design allows chamber commissioning in <500 hr of operation. |

| abstract: | A compact 20-MeV linac with an RF laser-driven electron gun will be used to drive a high-gain (10-cm gain length), 10.6- mu m wavelength FEL (free-electron laser) amplifier, operating in the SASE mode. Saturnus will mainly be used to study FEL physics in the high-gain regime, including start-up from noise, optical guiding, sidebands, saturation, and superradiance, with emphasis on the effects important for future short-wavelength operation of FELs. The primary magnetic flux is provided by C-shaped iron yokes, where between the poles thin blocks of neodymium-iron-boron magnets are placed to provide additional magnetic flux along the undulator axis.

| title: | Preliminary conceptual design for a 510 MeV electron/positron injector for a UCLA phi factory |
| format: | conference procceeding |
| conference: | 1991 Particle Accelerator Conference |
| year: | 1991 |
| 4 authors: | | | | |
| abstract: | UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) is proposing a compact superconducting high-luminosity (10(32-33)/ cm(-2)/ s(-1)) e+ e- collider for a phi factory. To achieve the required e+ e- currents, full energy injection from a linac with intermediate storage in a positron accumulator ring (PAR) is used. The elements of the linac are outlined with cost and future flexibility in mind. The preliminary conceptual design starts with a high current gun similar in design to those developed at SLAC and at ANL (for the APS). Four 4-section linac modules follow, each driven by a 60-MW klystron with a 1- mu s macropulse and an average current of 8.6 A. The first 4-section module is used to create positrons in a tungsten target at 186 MeV. The remaining three modules are used to accelerate the e+ e- beam to 558 MeV (no load limit) for injection into the PAR. (0 References). |

| abstract: | The authors present the status of Saturnus: an infrared FEL operating in the 10 mu m wavelength region, driven by a compact 20 MeV linac with a photoinjector, under construction at UCLA. The 1.5 cm period, 0.5 T peak-field undulator is being built at the Kurchatov IAE. The FEL is being designed to operate primarily in the self-amplified spontaneous emission mode. They plan to study the startup from noise, optical guiding, saturation, sidebands and superradiance, with emphasis on the effects important for future short-wavelength operation of FELs. The photoinjector follows closely the Brookhaven design. Electrons are injected into an accelerating section based on the plane-wave transformer design developed by Swenson at SAIC. Simulation of the linac and FEL show a gain length of 10 cm, and saturation power of 50 MW. (10 References). |

| abstract: | A high-brightness RF gun operating at 2.856 GHz is being used as the injector for an IR-FEL (free-electron laser) experiment. The RF gun consists of a disk loaded, 1.5 cell cavity and a photocathode in the end wall of the cavity. A strong electric field within the half cell near the photocathode quickly accelerates the electrons, thus preventing emittance blow-up. The photocathode is to be driven by a Nd:YAG laser system producing a 10-ps pulse. The power for the RF gun will be supplied by a 25-MW klystron. The RF power is coupled to the cavity via an S-band waveguide attached to the sidewall of the gun. The TE_10 mode excited in the waveguide strongly couples to the pi-mode with the RF gun while the zero mode is suppressed. (0 References). |

| abstract: | The authors present the design of a high luminosity linear collider phi factory. This machine can be used to search for violation of CPT invariance and the study of CP violation ( epsilon '). It can also serve as a test collider to study the feasibility of L > 10(34) cm(-2) sec(-1) BB factory and the beam dynamics of large disruption systems. The machine will be asymmetric in beam energy, thus giving the phi 's a boost. (3 References). |
