CLIC-Spain collaboration report 11 April 2014 CLIC Project Meeting 15

Outline: Motivation Background and Previous Collaboration New Proposed Collaboration Coordination CLIC Spain collaboration High-Gradient RF IFIC 11 April 2014 CLIC Project Meeting 15

Motivation: Collaborators Establish a solid nation-wide collaboration that will participate in the research and development of the accelerator technologies necessaries for CLIC Collaborators CIEMAT, IFIC, ALBA, Univ. Vigo Beam Dynamics studies and experiments Beam Instrumentation design, construction, calibration and integration including the associated electronics Magnets design, construction and measurement RF structures design, construction and testing including the EM analysis and breakdown studies Motivation: 11 April 2014 CLIC Project Meeting 15

Spanish CLIC collaborators before… Madrid CIEMAT Valencia IFIC Accelerator Physics is an emerging field in Spain. There are not many groups involved in the R&D for Accelerators Techniques for Particle Physics Applications. The participation of the CIEMAT and IFIC groups in CTF3 started in 2004 with the signature of MoU in 2006 for the construction of: CR components (septa, kickers and correctors), PETS, Quad Movers and BPMs for TBL. 11 April 2014

Perez Material microstructures (SEM and EBSD techniques) SEM Techniques: Scanning Electron Microscopy (Areas ranging from approximately 1 cm to 5 microns in width can be imaged in a scanning mode using conventional SEM techniques) EBSD techniques: Electron Backscatter Diffraction(Accelerated electrons in the primary beam of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) can be diffracted by atomic layers in crystalline materials. These diffracted electrons can be detected when they impinge on a phosphor screen and generate visible lines, called Kikuchi bands, or "EBSP's" (electron backscatter patterns).

The draft Calendar Draft Calendar The main subjects and the contacts/responsibles have been identified and also the priorities Week 17 (21-25 April): first budget global estimation Week 18 (28 April -2 Mai): CLIC Steering Committee approuval Week 19 (4-5 May): Meeting in Valencia with Spain collaborators Isabel Bejar preparation of the KT contracts Possible signature of the 1st KTs in June 2014 11 April 2014 CLIC Project Meeting 15

The Framework The IFIC collaboration: High-Gradient RF IFIMED: Research on Imaging and Accelerators applied to Medicine Image Science: New Imaging devices as Compton combined with Positron Emission (PET) in the context of the ENVISION project, as well as the development and design of the reconstruction algorithms Accelerators: Linacs for medical applications as cyclinacs (S and C-bands) and Beam Instrumentation for hadrontherapy 11 April 2014 CLIC Project Meeting 15

The Background The IFIC collaboration: High-Gradient RF The IFIC Group of Accelerator Physics (GAP) participated in: Development of medical accelerator structures (cyclinacs in S and C-bands, PARTNER project) Measurement and data analysis of high-gradient structures at KEK and CTF3 (in collaboration with CLIC RF group) 11 April 2014 CLIC Project Meeting 15

The Objectives The IFIC collaboration: High-Gradient RF In the framework of the KT project: “High Gradient Accelerating Structures for proton therapy linacs”, whose scope is the design, construction and high power test of two high-power prototype 3 GHz accelerating structures at 76 MeV (low energy) and 213 MeV (high energy) which corresponds to the to the lowest and highest energy of the proton linac The idea is to complement these studies with the design and test of two intermediate (2nd and 3rd) proton linac structures. This complementary study will give us the possibility to simulate the most realistic conditions and running operation conditions of this kind of linacs. Test stand with two klystrons (3GHz have 7.5 MW power each, 5 ums RF pulse duration and 400 Hz), the RF system becomes much more flexible allowing arbitrary phase and amplitude pulse shapes even when using a pulse compressor. 11 April 2014 CLIC Project Meeting 15
