A 30° Green Magnet based on permanent NdFeB magnets has been developed and installed in the injection line at the ASTRID2 synchrotron light source. The cost efficient design is optimized for a 1 T field at a length of 1 m using shaped iron poles to surpass the required field homogeneity. The inherent temperature dependence of NdFeB has been passively compensated to below 30 ppm/°C. A study of potential demagnetization effects has been performed by irradiation of NdFeB samples placed directly in a 100 MeV e-beam. A high permanent magnet work point was found to result in enhanced robustness, and the risk of demagnetization was found to be negligible for typical synchrotron applications. The magnet has successfully been in operation at ASTRID2 since autumn 2013.

WEPRO072 The Design of the Fast Raster System for the European Spallation Source 2118

    ISA, Aarhus, Denmark
 
  The ESS will nominally operate with an average (peak) proton current of 2.5 mA (62.5 mA) at 2.0 GeV. To reduce the beam peak current density at the spallation target, the ESS HEBT will apply a fast transverse raster system consisting of 8 dithering magnet dipoles. The raster system sweeps the linac beamlet on the target surface and gives a rectangular intensity outline within a macropulse of 2.86 ms. The magnets are driven by triangular current waveforms of up to 40 kHz. The preliminary magnet design and power supply topology will be discussed.

WEPRO073 The ESS High Energy Beam Transport after the 2013 Design Update 2121
 
  • H.D. Thomsen, S.P. Møller
    ISA, Aarhus, Denmark
 
  Following an optimization of the European Spallation Source (ESS) linac, a number of changes have been introduced in the High Energy Beam Transport (HEBT). In particular, about 120 m of beam transport has been allocated to enable an extension of the superconducting linac, thus providing some contingency against poor linac performance and potentially allowing a future beam power upgrade. The changes in layout and beam optics in all HEBT lines will be discussed.

WEPRO074 Performance of the ESS High Energy Beam Transport under Non-nominal Conditions 2124
 
  • H.D. Thomsen, S.P. Møller
    ISA, Aarhus, Denmark
 
  With a nominal beam power of 5 MW, the demands for low relative beam losses in the ESS linac are unprecedented. In the HEBT, where the beam first reaches full power, this is especially relevant. The acceptance of the HEBT should thus encompass beams of non-nominal parameters and ideally be tolerant to partial hardware failure for at least a pulse train of 2.86 ms. In this paper, the sensitivity towards errors in beam parameters and optical elements will be presented.

  Expected backgrounds in the final accelerator-to-target region of the European Spallation Source, to be built in Lund, Sweden, have been calculated using the MCNPX program. We consider the effects of losses from the beam, both along the full length and localised at the bending magnets, and also backsplash from the target. The prompt background is calculated, and also the residual dose, as a function of time, arising from activation of the beam components. Activation of the air is also determined. The model includes the focussing and rasterising magnets, and shows the effects of the concrete walls of the tunnel. We give the implications for the design and operation of the accelerator.

  The European Spallation Source, ESS, uses a linear accelerator to bombard the tungsten target with the high intensity protons beam for producing intense beams of neutrons. The nominal average beam power of the linac is 5~MW with a peak beam power at target of 125~MW. During last year the ESS linac was costed, and to meet the budget a few modifications were introduced to the linac design. One of the major changes is the reduction of final energy from 2.5~GeV to 2.0~GeV and therefore beam current was increased accordingly to compensate for the lower final energy. As a result the linac is designed to meet the cost objective by taking a higher risk. This paper focuses on the driving forces behind the new design, engineering and beam dynamics requirements of the design and finally on the beam dynamics performance of the linac.

  Following the completion of the latest layout of the ESS linac statistical error studies have been performed to define the field vector quality and alignment tolerances. Based on these tolerances and error study results a scheme for the correction system is proposed that assures low losses and permits hands-on maintenance. This paper reports on the strategy of simulating and performing the error studies as well as setting the tolerances.
