TI - Uniformization of the Transverse Beam Profile by a New Type Nonlinear Magnet J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - The uniform particle beam is desirable in many beam applications. One method to get this type of beam distribution is using octupoles, but loss of particles in the halo will be produced by this method. To reduce the beam loss, a new type of magnet is proposed in this paper. The field in the middle region of the new type magnet is similar to the octupole magnet field, but the rate of rise decline quickly in the edge. So that the particle in the edge experience a lower magnet field, and this would result in less particle loss. We also add a mechanical structure on the new type magnet to make it possible to adjust the size of middle region. So that the magnet can adapt to different transverse dimensions of the beam, and this would further reduce particle loss. Some numerical simulations have been done respectively with octuples and the new type of magnet. The simulation results show that the new type of magnet could get the uniform distribution of particle beam with less particle loss. We are processing a magnet now, and an experiment to test the magnet will be arranged on CPHS.
