Beam halo is an important factor in any high intensity accelerator. It can cause difficulties in the control of the beam, emittance growth, particle loss and even damage to the accelerator. It is therefore essential to understand the mechanisms of halo formation and its dynamics in order to control and minimize its effects. Experimental measurement of the halo distribution is an important tool for such studies. In this paper, we present a new adaptive masking method that we have developed to image beam halo, which uses a digital micro-mirror-array device (DMD). This method has been thoroughly investigated in the laboratory using laser and white light sources, and with real beams produced by the University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER). A high dynamic range ~10(5) has been demonstrated with this new method and recent studies indicate that this number can be exceeded for more intense beams by at least an order of magnitude. The method is flexible, easy to setup and can be used at any accelerator or light source. We present the results of our measurements of the performance of the method and images of beam halos produced under various experimental conditions.

Experimental measurements of beam halo diffusion dynamics with collimator scans are reviewed. The concept of halo control with a hollow electron beam collimator, its demonstration at the Tevatron, and its possible applications at the LHC are discussed.
Accelerator-based MeV ultrafast electron microscope (MUEM) has been proposed as a promising tool to study structural dynamics at the nanometer spatial scale and picosecond temporal scale. Here we report experimental tests of a prototype MUEM where hi
gh quality images with nanoscale fine structures were recorded with a pulsed 3 MeV picosecond electron beam. The temporal and spatial resolution of the MUEM operating in single-shot mode is about 4 ps (FWHM) and 100 nm (FWHM), corresponding to a temporal-spatial resolution of 4e-19 s*m, about 2 orders of magnitude higher than that achieved with state-of-the-art single-shot keV UEM. Using this instrument we offer the demonstration of visualizing the nanoscale periodic spatial modulation of an electron beam, which may be converted into longitudinal density modulation through emittance exchange to enable production of high-power coherent radiation at short wavelengths. Our results mark a great step towards single-shot nanometer-resolution MUEMs and compact intense x-ray sources that may have wide applications in many areas of science.
In circular colliders, as well as in damping rings and synchrotron radiation light sources, beam halo is one of the critical issues limiting the performance as well as potentially causing component damage and activation. It is imperative to clearly u
nderstand the mechanisms that lead to halo formation and to test the available theoretical models. Elastic beam-gas scattering can drive particles to large oscillation amplitudes and be a potential source of beam halo. In this paper, numerical estimation and Monte Carlo simulations of this process at the ATF of KEK are presented. Experimental measurements of beam halo in the ATF2 beam line using a diamond sensor detector are also described, which clearly demonstrates the influence of the beam-gas scattering process on the transverse halo distribution.
Due to the potentially adverse effects of the generation of halo particles in intense proton beams, it is imperative to have a clear understanding of the mechanisms that can lead to halo formation for current and proposed high- intensity linacs. To t
his end a theoretical model has been developed, which indicates that protons under the combined influence of strong space charge forces and periodic focussing in a linear transport channel can be kicked into halo orbits. However, no experimental measurements of beam halo in proton beams have yet been carried out. In this paper we report the progress of an effort to carry out an experiment to measure beam-halo using the existing high- intensity proton beam of the LEDA facility. A linear transport channel has been assembled with the appropriate diagnostics for measuring the expected small beam component in the beam halo as a function of beam parameters. The experiment is based on the use of an array of high-dynamic-range wire and beam scrapers to determine the halo and core profiles along the transport channel. Details of the experimental design, the expected halo measurement properties will be presented.
Dielectric laser acceleration draws upon nano-fabrication techniques to build photonic structures for high gradient electron acceleration. At the small spatial scales characteristic of these structures conventional accelerator techniques become ineff
ective at stabilizing the beam dynamics. Instead we propose a scheme to stabilize the motion by directly modulating the drive laser, in analogy to a radio-frequency-quadrupole. Here we present a design for a programmable `lattice being built at UCLAs Pegasus laboratory. The accelerator accepts an unmodulated 3.5 MeV electron beam and then bunches and accelerates the beam by 1.5 MeV over a distance of 2 cm.
