Background and History• In 2006, Fermilab was asked to lead the US ILC/SRF R&D Program
we felt that the most effective way to do that was to learn by doing
• Construction of Test Facility began in 2006 as part of ILC/SRF R&D and later American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
2S. Nagaitsev, PASI 2nd annual meeting, Apr. 3-5, 2013
• It was recognized early in the planning process that an electron beam meeting the ILC performance parameters was itself a power resource of interest to the wider Advanced Accelerator R&D (AARD) community
• The Facility was motivated by the goal of building, testing and operating a complete ILC RF unit to:
Develop and demonstrate industrial and laboratory capability for producing state-of-the-art SCL components, assemble into a fully functioning system (photo-injector, bunch compressor, three 1.3 GHz ILC CMs, beamlines to dumps)
To carry out full beam-based system tests with high-gradient cryomodules and demonstrate ILC beam quality
Background and History• In planning the construction we therefore wanted to ensure that the
facility offered something of enduring value when it was completed. Hence, the investment in establishing a flexible facility that would readily
support an AARD user program.• For those reasons the ARRA-funded facility construction
incorporated space for additional ILC cryomodules to increase the beam energy to 1.5 GeV, space for multiple high-energy beamlines, space for a small circular ring for the exploration of advanced concepts, capability of transporting laser light into and out of the accelerator enclosure, an adequately-sized control room
• To date, an investment of $74M has been made, including $18M of ARRA funding, representing ~80% completion of the facility
• In June 2012, anticipating the completion of the ILC R&D Program, Fermilab was directed to prepare a proposal for the AARD program.

Our Proposal
4 S. Nagaitsev, PASI 2nd annual meeting, Apr. 3-5, 2013
http://apc.fnal.gov/programs2/ASTA_TEMP/index.shtml
We proposed to establish a proposal-driven Accelerator R&D User Facility at Fermilab’s Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA)
To do that requires:1. Supporting the completion of ASTA in a phased approach:
Build out the linear accelerator to ~800 MeV with three Cryomodules • associated beam transport lines, dumps and support systems
Construct the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA)• A small, flexible storage ring to investigate beam dynamics of importance to
intensity frontier rings In further phases
• Add proton capability to IOTA (by reusing existing HINS equipment)• Increase peak current of compressed electron bunches by installation of 3.9
GHz system
2. Supporting the Operation of an Accelerator R&D User Program Support staff required to operate a 9 month/year proposal-driven
Accelerator R&D program

A roadmap for high-intensity rings
1. Increase dynamic aperture of rings with strong sextupoles and octupoles
Single particle dynamics Also, addressed by the light-source community
2. Develop the theoretical basis of beam instabilities with strong space charge
3. Develop highly-nonlinear focusing lattices with reduced chaos
4. Reduce chaos in beam-beam effects
5. Ultimately, develop accelerators for super-high beam intensity
Self-consistent or compensated space-charge Strong non-linearity (for Landau damping) to suppress
instabilities Stable particle motion at large amplitudes

Integrable Optics at IOTA
• Main goals for studies with a pencil electron beam: Demonstrate a large tune spread of ~1 (with 4 lenses) without degradation of
dynamic aperture ( minimum 0.25 ) Quantify effects of a non-ideal lens and develop a practical lens (m- or e-lens)
S. Nagaitsev, PASI 2nd annual meeting, Apr. 3-5, 201319
Integrable Optics: Motivation• The main feature of all present accelerators – linear
focusing lattice: particles have nearly identical betatron frequencies (tunes) by design.
Hamiltonian has explicit time dependence All nonlinearities (both magnet imperfections and specially
introduced) are perturbations and make single particle motion unstable (non-integrable) due to resonant conditions
Stability depends on initial conditions
Regular trajectories for small amplitudes
Resonant islands (for larger amplitudes)
Chaos and loss of stability (for large amplitudes)
S. Nagaitsev, PASI 2nd annual meeting, Apr. 3-5, 201320
Does Focusing Need to be Linear?
• Are there “magic” nonlinearities with zero resonance strength?
• The answer is – yes (we call them “integrable”)• Search for a lattice design that is strongly nonlinear yet
stable Orlov (1963) -- attempt failed (non-integrable) McMillan (1967) – first successfull 1-D example Perevedentsev, Danilov (1990 - 1995) – several 1D, 2D examples Cary and colleagues (1994) – approximate integrability
• Our goal (with IOTA) is to create practical nonlinear accelerator focusing systems with a large frequency spread and stable particle motion.

Nonlinear Lenses
• “Integrable Optics” solutions: Make motion regular, limited and long-
term stable (usually involves additional “integrals of motion”)
• Can be Laplacian (with special magnets, no extra charge density involved)
• Or non-Laplacian (with externally created charge –e.g. special e-lens
or beam-beam
E(r) ~r/(1+r^2)
• Both types will be tested in IOTA

Space-Charge Compensation in Circular Accelerators
• Goal: • Experimental demonstration of the space-charge
compensation technique with electron columns/electron lenses at dQ_sc >1
• Why ASTA: • Need 2.5 MeV high-current protons and IOTA – flexible
lattice storage ring
• Relevant accelerators: • All current and future high intensity proton rings (Booster,
MI, all LHC injectors, MC rings, etc)
Summary• ASTA offers:
A broad range in beam energies (50-800 MeV) High-repetition rate and the highest power beams available High beam quality and beam stability The brightest beams available Advanced phase-space manipulations (FB, EEX) Linacs and ring (IOTA), electrons and protons, lasers
