are studying. The resonant models of these<br />

structures and the structures with power ports were<br />

designed. Electrodynamics characteristics, electric<br />

field distribution for all models were acquired.<br />

Accelerating structure consisting of 1.6 cells will<br />

operate in pi mode of standing wave, all other<br />

structures operate in pi/2 mode traveling wave.<br />

Accelerating structure based on running wave<br />

resonator with 7 cells and 2 half-cells of DLW has<br />

most suitable electrodynamics characteristics and<br />

field distribution for sub-mm pulse source according<br />

to simulation results.<br />

Proton Contamination Studies in the Muon<br />

Ionization Cooling Experiment, Summer Blot<br />

(University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois),<br />

Rob Roy MacGregor Fletcher (UCR, Riverside,<br />

California) - The Muon Ionization Cooling<br />

Experiment (MICE) aims to demonstrate transverse<br />

beam emittance reduction for a muon beam. To<br />

create these muons, a titanium target is dipped into<br />

the ISIS proton accelerator at Rutherford Appleton<br />

Laboratory (UK) to create pions, which are<br />

transported and decay to muons in the MICE<br />

beamline. Beam particle identification and triggering<br />

is performed using time of flight (ToF) detectors.<br />

When running the MICE beamline with positive<br />

polarity, protons produced in the target contaminate<br />

the muon beam with a sufficiently high rate to<br />

saturate the TOF detectors. Polyethylene sheets of<br />

varying thicknesses were installed to absorb the<br />

proton impurities in the beam. Studies with pion<br />

beams at momenta of 140, 200, and 240MeV/c were<br />

performed with different proton absorber<br />

thicknesses. The results of these studies show good<br />

agreement with theoretical range plots and will be<br />

presented.<br />

MAUS: MICE Analysis User Software,<br />

Christopher Douglas Tunnell (JAI, Oxford) - The<br />

Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is<br />

unique because it measures accelerator physics<br />

quantities using particle physics methods. It follows<br />

that the software that forms the theoretical model of<br />

MICE needs to be able to not only propagate beam<br />

envelopes and optical parameters but also model<br />

�<br />

detector responses and matter effects for cooling.<br />

MICE addresses this dichotomy with the software<br />

framework MAUS in order to maximize its physics<br />

sensitivity whilst providing the conveniences of, for<br />

example, a common data structure. The diversity of<br />

challenges that MICE provides from the analysis<br />

perspective means that appropriately defining the<br />

software scope and layout is critical to the<br />

correctness and maintainability of the final<br />

accelerator physics analyses. MICE has structured<br />

its code into a Map-Reduce framework to enable<br />

better parallelization whilst also introducing unit,<br />

functional, and integration tests to ensure code<br />

reliability and correctness. These methods can apply<br />

to other experiments.<br />

Alignment Tolerances for Vertical Emittance,<br />

Kent Peter Wootton, Roger Paul Rassool, Geoffrey<br />

Taylor (The University of Melbourne, Melbourne),<br />

Mark James Boland, Rohan Dowd, Gregory Scott<br />

LeBlanc, Yaw-Ren Eugene Tan (ASCo, Clayton,<br />

Victoria), Yannis Papaphilippou (CERN, Geneva) -<br />

Alignment tolerances for the CLIC main damping<br />

ring magnetic lattice elements are presented.<br />

Tolerances are defined by the design equilibrium<br />

vertical emittance of 1 pm rad. The sensitivity of the<br />

uncorrected lattice to magnet misalignments is<br />

presented. Misalignments considered included<br />

quadrupole vertical offsets and rolls, sextupole<br />

vertical offsets, and main dipole rolls. Seeded<br />

simulations were conducted in MAD-X, and<br />

compared with expectation values calculated from<br />

theory. The lattice was found to be sensitive to<br />

betatron coupling as a result of sextupole vertical<br />

offsets in the arcs. Alignment tolerances, BPM and<br />

corrector requirements are presented also. For the<br />

same misalignment types, the equilibrium emittance<br />

of the corrected lattice is simulated. These are<br />

compared with expectation values calculated from<br />

theory. The vertical alignment tolerance of arc<br />

sextupoles is again demanding.<br />
