| MOPLS116 | Status Report on the Harmonic Double-sided Microtron of MAMI C | linac, dipole, vacuum, klystron | 834 | ||
|
The Mainz Mikrotron MAMI is a cascade of three racetrack microtrons, delivering since 1991 a high quality 855MeV, 100muA cw electron beam for nuclear and radiation physics experiments. An energy upgrade of this machine to 1.5GeV by adding a Harmonic Double-Sided Microtron (HDSM)* as a fourth stage is well under way. Here we give a review of the experiences gained during fabrication and testing of the main components of the HDSM and report the status of its construction. Initial operation of the machine is expected for the first half of 2006. After a period of commissioning in diagnostic pulse mode with low beam power (10ns, high intensity bunch trains with a repetition rate of max. 10kHz), soon the first nuclear physics experiments will be started.

At the Institut fur Kernphysik (IKPH) of Mainz University the fourth stage of the Mainz Microtron (MAMI), a 855MeV to 1500MeV Harmonic Double Sided Microtron*, is now on the verge of first operation. For this project ACCEL Instruments GmbH manufactured biperiodic, on axis coupled, standing wave accelerating structures at the frequencies of 2.45GHz and 4.90GHz. Four resp. eleven multicell sections were manufactured, low power characterized and after delivery tested at the high power test stand of IKPH. This paper describes the production and characterization of these structures, presents results of the high power tests, and compares these data with results gained at IKPH for an in house built 4.90GHz prototype and the 2.45GHz structures built in the 1980s.

| WEPCH115 | Numerical Simulation and Optimization of a 3-GHz Chopper/Prebuncher System for the S-DALINAC | electron, impedance, simulation, acceleration | 2185 | ||
|
A new source of polarized electrons with an energy of 100 keV is presently being developed at the superconducting Darmstadt electron linear accelerator S-DALINAC for future nuclear- and radiation-physics experiments. The pulsed electron beam emitted by the photocathode will be cut to 50 ps by a chopper operated at 3 GHz, and further bunch compression down to 5 ps will be achieved by a two-stage prebuncher section. The chopper-prebuncher system is based on similar devices used at the Mainz Mikrotron (MAMI) where the accelerator frequency is slightly smaller (2.4 GHz). For the chopper, a cylindrical resonator operating at TM110 mode is selected to deflect the electron beam onto an ellipse, i.e., both horizontally and vertically. This is simply achieved by particular slits on both ends of the resonator. The prebunching system consists of two cavities. For increasing the longitudinal capture efficiency, the first cavity will be operated at the fundamental accelerator frequency of the S-DALINAC of 3 GHz, and the second cavity at 6 GHz. The cavities are designed to work at the TM010 mode and TM020 mode for the fundamental and first harmonic, respectively.

| WEPCH116 | Recent Simulation Results of the Polarized Electron Injector (SPIN) of the S-DALINAC | simulation, electron, gun, quadrupole | 2188 | ||
|
Recent design and development for a polarized electron source (SPIN) for the recirculating superconducting electron linear accelerator S-DALINAC will be presented. The polarized electron beam will be produced by photoemission from an InAlGaAs/GaAs superlattice cathode and will be accelerated to 100 kV electrostatically. The results of the beam dynamics simulation will be shown in detail. The start phase space of the electron bunch behind the gun has been approximated. The transverse focusing system consists of very short quadrupoles. Further main components of the new injector are a Wien filter, a Mott polarimeter, a chopper-prebuncher system (based on devices used at the Mainz Mikrotron MAMI), and diverse beam diagnostic tools. For the approximation of the start phase space CST MAFIA is used, and for the beam dynamic simulation VCode is used.
