“…In the coming years, the IOTA ring will be upgraded with a proton injector and an electron lens/cooler [31]. The research with protons and electrons will focus on nonlinear beam optics studies [32], investigation of space-charge effects [33], realization of Electron Lens with its broad research program [31], continuation of the OSC program [34], and photon science opportunities [35]. A significant required upgrade to the FAST facility is the addition of a laser system to enable research into electron-based coherent radiation generation and activities synergistic with advanced acceleration technologies.…”

Demonstrating the viability of Advanced Accelerator Concepts (AAC) relies on experimental validation. Over the last three decades, the U.S. has maintained a portfolio of advanced and novel accelerator test facilities to support research critical to AAC. The facilities have enabled pioneering developments in a wide variety of beam and accelerator physics, including plasma-wakefield and structure-wakefield acceleration. This paper provides an overview of the current portfolio of U.S. facilities possessing charged particle drive beams with high energies, on the order of tens of joules per pulse, or drive lasers with high peak powers, on the order of a petawatt, and are actively conducting AAC research.

“…However, the cathode size is limited with respect to homogeneous heating, for this reason it seems favorable not to expand the cathode to the required ion beam radius but rather expand the electron beam in the main solenoid in the interaction section. According to the magnetic expansion factor [4]…”

At GSI a prototype electron lens for space charge (SC) compensation is currently being designed and main components as the RF-modulated electron gun are already under commissioning. The goal of this project is the (partial) compensation of SC forces within the ion beam by an overlapping electron beam. This may help to increase the intensity of primary beams, especially in the FAIR facility and potentially all large synchrotrons operated at the SC limit. For an effective SC compensation, the generated electron beam needs to follow the transverse and longitudinal beam profile of the ion bunch structure. The requirements are maximum currents of 10 A and grid modulation to cover a broad frequency range from 400 kHz to 1 MHz. The RF-modulated electron gun was designed and manufactured in the scope of the ARIES collaboration and is currently being tested at the E-Lens Lab of Goethe-University Frankfurt. A dedicated test bench was built for commissioning of the major e-lens components and diagnostics. In this contribution the overall set-up will be presented putting special emphasis on the beam dynamics and collector design as well as simulation results of the electron gun.

“…One current focus of work at IOTA relates to electron lenses and hopes to address the first grand challenge: Beam Intensity [6]. An electron lens generates a magnetically confined beam of electrons and injects it into the accelerator's primary beam of charged particles, which focuses the beam and increases luminosity.…”

Modeling a Thermionic Electron Source Using a Physics-Informed Neural Network

We explore the application of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) for simulation of thermionic electron sources. This is motivated by the need for quick surrogate models used to simulate such sources within a digital twin of a complete particle accelerator. Here, a PINN was developed on a simplified model of the thermionic source: the planar diode. This model very accurately simulated the system, and performed significantly better than a traditional neural network while also using less training data. We hope to apply this proof-of-concept in motivating the development of a PINN model for a full thermionic electron source at the University of Chicago.
