TUXB1 | FRANZ and Small-Scale Accelerator-Driven Neutron Sources | 1276 |
|
||
This paper gives an overview of the opportunities and challenges of high-intensity, low-energy light-ion accelerators for neutron production. Applications of this technology range from the study of stellar nucleosynthesis and astrophysical phenomena to medical applications such as Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The paper includes details of the FRANZ facility, under development at Frankfurt University. | ||

THPF020 | Upgrade of the HSI-RFQ at GSI to Fulfill the FAIR Requirements | 3727 |
|
||
In Darmstadt/Germany the existing accelerator facility GSI is expanding to one of the biggest joint research projects worldwide: FAIR, a new antiproton and ion research facility with so far unmatched intensities and quality. The existing accelerators will be used as pre-accelerators and therefor need to be upgraded. In a first step the 36 MHz-HSI-RFQ for high current beams will get new electrodes to fulfill the FAIR requirements. First simulation results for capacity and multipole momentums will be presented. | ||

THPF021 | Structural, Mechanical and RF Measurements on the Superconducting 217 MHz CH Cavity for the CW Demonstrator at GSI | 3730 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by HIM, GSI, BMBF Contr. No. 05P12RFRBL Together with the new horizontal cryomodule and two superconducting (sc) 9.5 T solenoids the sc 217 MHz Crossbar-H-mode (CH) cavity represents the continuous wave (cw) demonstrator and brings sc rf technology to GSI. A reliable operability of the sc CH cavity is one major goal of the demonstrator project. Furthermore, the successful beam operation of the demonstrator will be a milestone on the way to a new sc cw linac at GSI for a competitive production of Super Heavy Elements (SHE) in the future. The production of the cryomodule and the solenoids is almost finished while the cavity has been completed except for the helium vessel. In this paper structural mechanical as well as related rf measurements on the sc 217 MHz CH cavity are presented. |

THPF022 | Design of the 325 MHz 4-Rod RFQ for the FAIR Proton Linac | 3733 |
|
||
Investigations on the 325 MHz 4-rod RFQ prototype for the FAIR proton linac have confirmed the feasibility of a 4-rod RFQ to work at frequencies above 300 MHz. This RFQ will accelerate protons from 95 keV to 3 MeV within a length of 3.3 m and will be powered by a 2.5 MW klystron. The mechanical and rf design of this RFQ are presented in this paper. | ||

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.

THPF025 | Beam Dynamics for the SC CW Heavy Ion LINAC at GSI | 3742 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by BMBF contr. No. 05P12RFRBL For future experiments with heavy ions near the coulomb barrier within the SHE (super-heavy elements) research project a multi-stage R&D program of GSI, HIM and IAP is currently in progress*. It aims at developing a superconducting (sc) continuous wave (cw) LINAC with multiple CH cavities as key components downstream the High Charge Injector (HLI) at GSI. The beam dynamics concept is based on EQUUS (equidistant multigap structure) constant-beta cavities. Advantages of its periodicity are a high simulation accuracy, easy manufacturing and tuning with minimized costs as well as a straightforward energy variation. The next milestone will be a full performance beam test of the first LINAC section, comprising two solenoids and a 15-gap CH cavity inside a cryostat (Demonstrator). *W.
