TUPWA007 | Method and Results of Systematic Beam Matching to a Periodic DTL | 1733 |
|
||
Systematic investigations on high current 3d-beam matching to a periodic Alvarez-type DTL are reported. Twiss parameters at the entrance of a matching section to the periodic structure were concluded from transverse and longitudinal measurements. Periodic solutions in 3d were calculated including space charge using the measured rms emittances. The matching was performed by rms beam size tracking and employing a numerical routine to set the matching section, which comprises five quadrupoles and two bunchers. Matching allowed for significant emittance growth reduction and for verification of non-linear beam dynamics effects along the DTL. | ||
TUPWA019 | Comparison of Tracking Simulation with Experiment on the GSI UNILAC | 1763 |
|
||
In the European framework “High Intensity Pulsed Proton Injector” (HIPPI), the 3D linac code comparison and benchmarking program with experiment have been initialed. PARMILA and HALODYN are involved in this work. Both of these codes have been developed and used for linac design and beam dynamics studies. In this paper, we compare the simulation results with experiment results which was carried out on the UNILAC Alvarez DTL. And discuss physics aspects of the different linac design and beam dynamics simulation codes. | ||
TUPWO009 | Decoupling Capabilities Study of the Emittance Transfer Section | 1895 |
|
||
Flat beams are those which feature unequal emittances in the horizontal and vertical phase space. The present paper is on the planning of the experimental proof of principle. Detailed simulations of the experiment, initially based on linear matrix transformations, are performed. The remarkable flexibility of the set-up w.r.t. to decoupling is addressed, as it can provide an one-knob tool to set the horizontal and vertical emittance partitioning. It was found that the decoupling capability of the set-up is remarkably flexible and the impact and discussion of this finding is treated in a dedicated section | ||
THPWO008 | Status of the 70 MeV FAIR Proton Injector | 3773 |
|
||
Funding: BMBF The FAIR project requires a dedicated proton injector for the creation of high intensity secondary antiproton beams. This machine will be the first high intensity linear accelerator based on CH-DTL. The status of the project, with particular emphasis on the construction of the first RF prototype is presented. |

THPWO009 | Beam Dynamics Error and Loss Investigation of the FAIR Proton Injector | 3776 |
|
||
The FAIR Proton Linac is a 70mA, 70 MeV. 325 MHz linear accelerator based on CH cavities. The focusing scheme is provided by an asynchronous KONUS lattice period. Random misalignment and rotation errors of the quadrupoles, together with phase and RF settings of the power source plays a major role in beam losses. Those effects are investigated and the beam dynamics results, including several source of errors, are presented and discussed. | ||
THPWO010 | Charge Stripping Tests of High Current Uranium Ion Beams with Methane and Hydrogen Gas Strippers and Carbon Foils at the GSI UNILAC | 3779 |
|
||
At the GSI UNILAC, a nitrogen gas stripper is routinely used for stripping of heavy ion beams at 1.4 MeV/u. Different approaches to optimize the stripping efficiency as well as different options to increase the ion charge states for delivery to SIS18 are being investigated. The existing gas stripper was operated with methane and hydrogen gas for stripping of high current uranium ion beams. The results as well as the limitations of these tests will be presented and will be compared to standard nitrogen operation of the gas stripper. In addition, newest results using differently prepared carbon stripping foils for the same ion beams will be reported. | ||
