MOBC3 | Electron Lenses for Experiments on Nonlinear Dynamics with Wide Stable Tune Spreads in the Fermilab Integrable Optics Test Accelerator | 46 |
|
||
Funding: Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the US Department of Energy. Recent developments in the study of integrable Hamiltonian systems have led to nonlinear accelerator lattice designs with two transverse invariants. These lattices may drastically improve the performance of high-power machines, providing wide tune spreads and Landau damping to protect the beam from instabilities, while preserving dynamic aperture. To test the feasibility of these concepts, the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) is being designed and built at Fermilab. One way to obtain a nonlinear integrable lattice is by using the fields generated by a magnetically confined electron beam (electron lens) overlapping with the circulating beam. The parameters of the required device are similar to the ones of existing electron lenses. We present theory, numerical simulations, and first design studies of electron lenses for nonlinear integrable optics. |

MOPWA036 | Status of Injection Studies into the Figure-8 Storage Ring | 187 |
|
||
The ongoing investigations on the design of the Figure-8 Storage Ring* at Frankfurt University focus on the beam injection. The research includes simulations as well as a scaled down experiment. The studies for an optimized adiabatic magnetic injection channel, starting from a moderate magnetic field up to a maximum of 6 Tesla, with a realistic field model of toroidal coils due to beam dynamics with space charge will be shown. For the envisaged ExB kicker system the simulations deal with beam potential constraints and a multi-turn injection concept in combination with an adiabatic magnetic compression. To investigate the concept of the beam injection into a toroidal magnetic field, a scaled down room temperature experiment is implemented at the university. It is composed of two 30 degree toroidal segments, two volume ion sources, two solenoids and two different types of beam detectors. The experiment is used to investigate the beam transport and dynamics of the laterally injected and “circulating” beam through the magnetic configuration. To set up the injection experiment, theoretical calculations and beam simulations with bender** are used.

THPF023 | Massless Beam Separation System for Intense Ion Beams | 3736 |
|
||
The ExB chopper* in the Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) section of the accelerator-driven neutron source FRANZ** will form the required pulses with a repetition rate of 257 kHz out of the primary 120 keV, 50 mA DC proton beam. A following beam separation system will extract the deflected beam out of the beamline and minimize the thermal load by beam losses in the vacuum chamber. To further avoid an uncontrolled production of secondary particles, a novel massless septum system is designed for the beam separation. The septum system consists of a static C-magnet with optimized pole shapes, which will extract the beam with minimal losses, and a magnetic shielding tube, which will shield the transmitted pulsed beam from the fringing field of the dipole. The magnetic field and the beam transport properties of the system were numerically investigated. A main deflection field of about 250 mT was achieved, whereas the fringing field was reduced to below 0.3 mT on the beam axis at 60 mm distance from the dipole. With this settings, the beam was numerically transported through the system with minimal emittance growth. Manufacturing of the septum system has started.

THPF024 | LEBT Dynamics and RFQ Injection | 3739 |
|
||
The Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) section at the accelerator-driven neutron source FRANZ* consists of four solenoids, two of which match the primary proton beam into the chopper. The remaining two solenoids are intended to prepare the beam for injection into the RFQ. In the first commissioning phase, the LEBT successfully transported a 14 keV He beam at low intensities**. In the current commissioning phase, the beam energy is increased to the RFQ injection energy of 120 keV. In the upcoming step, the intensity will be increased from 2 mA to 50 mA. Beam dynamics calculations include effects of different source emittances, position and angle offsets and the effects of space charge compensation levels. In addition, the behavior of the undesired hydrogen fractions, H2+ and H3+, and their influence on the performance within the RFQ is simulated.
