SAPAF04 | Single Objective Genetic Optimization of an 85% Efficient Klystron | klystron, cavity, electron, simulation | 25 |

Overall efficiency is a critical priority for the next generation of particle accelerators as they push to higher and higher energies. In a large machine, even a small increase in efficiency of any subsystem or component can lead to a significant operational cost savings. The Core Oscillation Method (COM) and Bunch-Align-Compress (BAC) method have recently emerged as a means to greatly increase the efficiency of the klystron RF source for particle accelerators. The COM and BAC methods both work by uniquely tuning klystron cavity frequencies such that more particles from the anti-bunch are swept into the bunch before power is extracted from the beam. The single objective genetic algorithm from Sandia National Laboratory’s Dakota optimization library is used to optimize both COM and BAC based klystron designs to achieve 85% efficiency. The COM and BAC methods are discussed. Use of the Dakota optimization algorithm library from Sandia National Laboratory is discussed. Scalability of the optimization approach to High Performance Computing (HPC) is discussed. The optimization approach and optimization results are presented. | |||

SUPAF06 | Simulations of Coherent Electron Cooling With Free Electron Laser Amplifier and Plasma-Cascade Micro-Bunching Amplifier | electron, simulation, FEL, plasma | 52 |
|
|||
SPACE is a parallel, relativistic 3D electromagnetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) code used for simulations of beam dynamics and interactions. An electrostatic module has been developed with the implementation of Adaptive Particle-in-Cloud method. Simulations performed by SPACE are capable of various beam distribution, different types of boundary conditions and flexible beam line, as well as sufficient data processing routines for data analysis and visualization. Code SPACE has been used in the simulation studies of coherent electron cooling experiment based on two types of amplifiers, the free electron laser (FEL) amplifier and the plasma-cascade micro-bunching amplifier. | |||

TUPAF22 | FEL Simulation Using the Lie Method | simulation, wiggler, FEL, electron | 240 |
|

Funding: U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 Advances in numerical methods for free-electron-laser~(FEL) simulation under wiggler period averaging~(WPA) are presented. First, WPA is generalized using perturbation Lie map method. The conventional WPA is identified as the leading order contribution. Next, a widely used shot-noise modeling method is improved along with a particle migration scheme across the numerical mesh. The artificial shot noise arising from particle migration is suppressed. The improved model also allows using arbitrary mesh size, slippage resolution, and integration step size. These advances will improve modeling of longitudinal beam profile evolution for fast FEL simulation. |
