Diagnosing Ghost Bunches with the Upstream Extinction Monitor in the Mu2e Experiment
R. Hensley, E. Prebys, A. Gaponenko
The Mu2e experiment has a stringent requirement for extinction of the pulsed proton beam, referring to the elimination of particles between proton bunches to a relative level of 10…
Slow Extraction Beam Commissioning for the Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab
V. Nagaslaev, G. Annala, J. Berlioz +7
Following the successful completion of the Muon g-2 experiment run at Fermilab, the Muon Campus facility has been reconfigured from delivering 3 GeV muon beams to the g-2 storage r…
TCLK Must Stay! CAMAC Must Go! How Does Fermilab Move Forward
M. R. Austin, L. Carmichael, D. McArthur +2
The current Timing System at Fermilab has been around for 40 years and currently relies on 7 CAMAC crates and over 100 CAMAC cards to produce the Tevatron Clock (TCLK). Thanks to t…
Performance Enhancement of Medium-Temperature Baked Niobium SRF Cavity by Surface Contamination Removal
V. Chouhan, D. Bice, A. Cravatta +5
Medium temperature (mid-T) baking, typically conducted at 300 350 C, enhances the quality factor of niobium (Nb) superconducting radio frequency cavities. High vacuum furnace bakin…
Booster Cavity Damper Redesign for PIP-II
Dustin Pieper, Brian Vaughn, Robyn Madrak
A new Higher Order Mode (HOM) damper was designed and tested for the Booster accelerator cavity at Fermilab. In anticipation of the PIP-II upgrade, it was discovered that the highe…
Optics Reconstruction in the SCL Section of the FNAL Linac
J. -P. Carneiro, E. Chen, A. Pathak +2
The Side-Coupled Linac (SCL) section of the FNAL linac accelerates the beam from 117 MeV to 401.5 MeV, operating at 22-24 mA beam current. Transverse focusing is performed by 32 qu…
