Abstract
In the field of accelerator physics, it is crucial to account for heating caused by the passage of high-intensity beams into accelerator components. This phenomenon is known as radio frequency (RF) beam-induced heating (BIH) and requires, other than an accurate design stage, to constantly monitor temperature-related parameters during the accelerator operations. This enables to warn for critical malfunctions and to prevent possible damages. Monitoring needs to meet various requirements, such as multiplexing capabilities, distributed sensing possibilities, and robustness in harsh environments. Fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBGs) have been proven to be an ideal solution that meets all these requirements. This study aims to validate the use of FBGs for direct measurement of RF BIH. A Section of the beam pipe in the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) large hadron collider (LHC) was modeled in terms of impedance, and the resulting RF BIH was computed based on the traveling beam. The results of the numerical simulation were compared with the experimental data obtained by FBGs installed along the beam pipe. The analysis shows that FBGs can be a valuable beam diagnostic tool for monitoring accelerated high-energy particle beams by measuring RF BIH and may provide useful insights for improving the design and operation of future accelerators. The study highlights the significant advancements of FBG technology in direct temperature measurement and assessment of RF BIH and serves as a promising solution for mitigating RF BIH in the demanding environment of particle accelerators.
