  ELENA, the Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring, will be a CERN facility with the purpose to deliver antiprotons at lowest energies aiming to enhance the study of antimatter. It will be a hexagonal shaped ring with a circumference of about 30 m decelerating antiprotons from energies of 5.3 MeV to 100 keV. Due to the extra-low beam rigidity the design of the magnet system is especially challenging because even small fields, for example arising from residual magnetization and hysteresis, will have a major impact both on the beam trajectory and beam dynamics. In this paper the design approach for such an extra-low beam rigidity magnet system is presented. The main challenges are outlined and solutions for the design of the magnet system are discussed.

TUPRO107 Prediction of the Field Distribution in CERN-PS Magnets 1298

  The CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) has a circumference of 628 m and operates at an energy of up to 26 GeV. It uses one hundred combined function magnets, with pole shapes designed to create a dipolar and a quadrupolar field component. Each magnet is equipped with a main current circuit and five auxiliary current-circuits, which allows controlling the linear and non-linear magnetic fields. These magnets were installed in the 1950s, and part of the compensating circuits have been added or modified since then, resulting in the fact that detailed measurements of the field distribution in each individual magnet as a function of the six currents are not available. This study is performed to estimate, through deterministic and stochastic calculations, the expected mean value and standard deviation of the field harmonics of the installed magnets as input for beam dynamics simulations. The relevant results can be used to design correction schemes to minimise beam losses in the PS and to enable the acceleration of higher brightness beams required to reach the foreseen Large Hadron Collider (LHC) luminosity targets.
