A new induction synchrotron system using an induction cell has been developed and constructed at KEK*. In that system, the switching power supply is one of the key devices that realize digital acceleration. The requirements of the switching power supply are high voltage (2 kV) and high repetition frequency (1 MHz). In the present system, we used series connected MOSFETs as the switching device. However, series connection gives large complexity and less reliability. Among various switching devices, a SiC-JFET should be a promising candidate because it has ultrafast switching speed and high voltage blocking capability. We have developed a new and original SiC-JFET switching device and a compact switching power supply employing this switching element**. Now it is integrated into the induction acceleration system for the KEK-DA. Furthermore we have started development of the next generation of SiC package, which has higher voltage capability (2.4 kV) and 2 in 1 module construction. At the conference, the first experimental demonstration of heavy ion acceleration utilizing the SiC-JFET and the design status of the new device package will be presented.

  The gap induction and thus the K-factor of permanent magnet undulators may be increased by cooling them to cryogenic temperatures. The use of NdFeB-magnets in cryogenic undulators, however, is limited to temperatures above 140 K due to the spin-reorientation transition (SRT) which leads to a reduction of the magnetization level. A further increase of the gap induction in undulators may be achieved by use of PrFeB-magnets at even lower temperatures, as this alloy does not show the SRT phenomenon. Although the effects are well known, up to now only a few undulator prototypes were built using this class of material since the coercivity of ternary PrFeB-magnets is not sufficient to minimize the risk of partial demagnetization when the undulator structure is kept at room temperature. This problem can be solved by applying actual technologies like grain-boundary diffusion in order to achieve coercivities exceeding 20 kOe at RT without sacrificing the high remanence Br of about 1.6 T at 77 K. We will provide actual data of the magnet performance achieved and show up the technological limitations in building PrFeB-based CPMU’s.

  Induction synchrotron can accelerate any ion species directly to higher energy without a large pre-accelerator, due to its intrinsic nature that there is no frequency band-width limitation below 1 MHz. KEK digital accelerator (DA) is a small scale prototype of fast cycling induction synchrotron. Recently it has been confirmed that heavy ion beams of mass to charge ratio A/Q = 4 are stably accelerated from 200 keV to a few tens of MeV in this accelerator ring*, where the revolution frequency changes from82 kHz to 1 MHz. Acceleration and beam confinement are separately realized by pulse voltages generated in induction cells (1 to 1 pulse transformers) driven by the switching power supply (SPS)**. Everything is simply maneuvered by controlling of gate signals of solid-state switching elements employed in the SPS. For this purpose, the fully programmed acceleration control system based on the FPGA has been developed. In this paper, the wide-band induction acceleration is presented with experimental results. Further possibilities of beam handling in the induction synchrotron, such as super bunch and novel beam handling techniques, are discussed.

Recent work on high-temperature (> 600 °C) heat treatment of ingot Nb cavities in a customized vacuum furnace for several hours showed the possibility of achieving Q0-values of up to ~5×1010 at 2.0 K, 1.5 GHz and accelerating gradients of ~20 MV/m. This contribution presents results on further studies of the heat treatment process to produce cavities with high Q0 values for continuous-wave accelerator application. Single-cell cavities of different Nb purity have been processed through few cycles of heat-treatments and chemical etching. Measurements of Q0 as a function of temperature at low RF field and of Q0 as a function of the RF field at or below 2.0 K have been made after each treatment. Measurements by TOF-SIMS of the impurities’ depth profiles were made on samples heat treated with the cavities.

THPME131 A Multi-conductor Transmission Line Model for the BPMs pick-up, impedance, beam-transport, framework 3550

  We have developed an accurate and efficient analysis method with a multi-conductor transmission line model for beam position monitors (BPMs). This method combines the two-dimensional electrostatic analysis including beams in the transverse plane and the transmission line analysis in the longitudinal direction. The loads are also included in the boundary condition of the transmission line analysis. Calculation of 2D electrostatic fields can be easily performed with the boundary element method. The BPM response to a beam is compared with that to a stretched wire.
