ATF status report 2012

  • 1. High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), Tsukuba, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) in KEK is a research center for studies on issues concerning the injector, damping ring, and beam delivery system for the ILC. The ATF damping ring reduces the vertical emittance of the beam down to 4 pm·rad. ATF2 is a final-focus test beam line that aims to focus the low emittance beam from the ATF damping ring to a vertical size of about 37 nm and to demonstrate the nanometer level beam stability, using numerous advanced beam diagnostics and feedback tools. The Great Eastern Earthquake affected the ATF in several damages. Recovery of the beam performance had been continued over a year especially for the alignment of the beamline. The ATF2 small beam size program had been resumed in early 2012. It reached about 165 nm, a half of that obtained before the earthquake. (author)
