	XiPAF (Xi’an 200MeV Proton Application Facility) is a project to fulfill the need for the experimental simulation of the space radiation environment. It comprises a 7 MeV H⁻ linac, a 60-230 MeV proton synchrotron, and experimental stations. The Installation of the synchrotron, beamline and one experimental station were completed at the end of December 2019, and commissioning has just begun. Circulating beam around the synchrotron was observed on the first day of operation, and now 10-200 MeV proton beam directly extracted from the synchrotron had been transported to the experimental station for user experiments. The results of the commissioning and data analysis are presented in this paper.

	The Inter-Digital H-mode Drift Tube Linac (IH-DTL) is widely used as the main component of injectors for medical synchrotrons. This paper describes the beam commissioning of a compact 325 MHz IH-DTL with modified KONUS beam dynamics at Tsinghua University (THU). This IH-DTL accelerates the proton beam from 3 MeV to 7 MeV in 1m. The average energy of the beam is 7.0 MeV with the energy spread range of -0.6 MeV to 0.3 MeV. The output transverse normalized RMS emittance of the beam is 0.58 (x)/0.58 (y) pi mm mrad with the input emittance of 0.43 (x)/0.37 (y) pi mm mrad. The beam test results show good agreement with the beam dynamics design.

TUPAB170	Decouple Transverse Coupled Beam in the DTL with Tilted PMQs	1785

	The coupling of the beam is widely studied in the accelerator physics field. Projected transverse emittances easily grow up if the beam is transversely-coupled. If we decouple the transverse coupled beam, the transverse emittance can be small. The matrix approach based on the symplectic transformation theory for decoupling the coupled beam is summarized. For a proton accelerator, the transverse coupled beam is introduced by an RFQ tilted by 45°. The beam is decoupled with the first five tilted quadrupoles mounted in the DTL section. A study on the gradient choice of the quadrupoles and the space charge effect is given in this paper.

	P.F. Ma, X. Guan, X.W. Wang, Q.Z. Xing, X.D. Yu, S.X. Zheng TUB, Beijing, People’s Republic of China
	Solenoid magnets can provide strong transverse focusing to electrons and ions with relatively small energies. For the ECR heavy-ion source, the ions are extracted at the central area of the solenoid, the beam is coupled at the exit of the source. The coupling caused by the solenoids can lead to the growth of projected transverse emittance, which has been widely studied with great interest. It is important to study the transfer matrix of a half solenoid to study the beam optics in an ECR souce, thus the property of the beam can be given. Based on the transfer matrix calculation, the summary of the linear transfer matrix of a half solenoid can be given. The beam optics in a half solenoid is studied.

	Xi’an Proton Application Facility (XiPAF) will be upgraded to provide heavy-ion beams with a heavy-ion injector. The injector consists of an ECR heavy-ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport line (LEBT), a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), an Interdigital H-mode Drift Tube Linac (IH-DTL), and a Linac to Ring Beam Transport line (LRBT). The IH-DTL can accelerate the ions with mass to charge up to 6.5 from 0.4 MeV/u to 2 MeV/u. To provide transverse focusing, the electro-magnetic quadrupoles are installed inside the drift tubes of IH-DTL, thus the magnet needs to be high-gradient and compact. This paper gives the quadrupole magnet design for the heavy-ion IH-DTL. The results show that the quadrupole magnet design can meet the requirements.

	We present, in this paper, the beam dynamics design of a linac injector with laser-accelerated carbon-ions for a medical synchrotron. In the design, the initial transverse divergence is reduced by two apertures. The beam is focused transversely through a quadrupole triplet lens downstream the apertures. The output energy spread of the extracted beam at the exit of the injector is compressed from ±6% to ±0.6% by a debuncher and a bend magnet system to meet the injection requirement for the synchrotron. By changing the width of imaging slit of the bend magnet system, the beam with energy of 4±0.024 MeV/u is extracted, and the particle number per shot and transverse emittances of the beam at the exit of the injector can be regulated through adjusting the slit height. The dynamics design can pave the way for the future concept research of the synchrotron injector.

	The beam commissioning of the capture and acceleration process on the XiPAF (Xi’an 200MeV Proton Application Facility) synchrotron has been carried out. The efficiency of the experiment results has been compared with the simulation results. At present, the efficiency of the capture process with single-harmonic is about 73%, and the acceleration efficiency is about 82%, and the simulation results are 77% and 96% without space charge effect, respectively. In order to improve efficiency, dual-harmonic was used during the capture and acceleration process. During the experiment, the capture efficiency was increased by 5%, and the acceleration efficiency was increased by 4%. The capture efficiency decreases with the increase of the maximum RF voltages. We analyzed the reasons for the decrease in capture efficiency. In the next step, further verification will be carried out through experiments under different conditions.

THPAB318	Uniformization of the Transverse Beam Profile with Nonlinear Magnet	4413

	The beam generated after slow extraction of the synchrotron is always not uniform and asymmetrical in transverse distribution. In practice, radiation therapy or radiation irradiation requires a high degree of uniformity of beam spot. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the beam distribution with a nonlinear magnet and other elements on the transport line from synchrotron ring to beam target station. Nonlinear magnet has high requirements on beam quality. Before passing through the nonlinear magnet field, the beam center can be adjusted by taking advantage of the gradient change distribution of the nonlinear magnet’s transverse field map to achieve uniform distribution at the target station. As an example, we use the parameters of heavy ions of XiPAF (Xi’an 200MeV Proton Application Facility) to simulate the beam transport from synchrotron ring to beam target station.

The beam commissioning of the capture and acceleration process on the XiPAF (Xi’an 200MeV Proton Application Facility) synchrotron has been carried out. The efficiency of the experiment results has been compared with the simulation results. At present, the efficiency of the capture process with single-harmonic is about 73%, and the acceleration efficiency is about 82%, and the simulation results are 77% and 96% without space charge effect, respectively. In order to improve efficiency, dual-harmonic was used during the capture and acceleration process. During the experiment, the capture efficiency was increased by 5%, and the acceleration efficiency was increased by 4%. The capture efficiency decreases with the increase of the maximum RF voltages. We analyzed the reasons for the decrease in capture efficiency. In the next step, further verification will be carried out through experiments under different conditions.

The beam generated after slow extraction of the synchrotron is always not uniform and asymmetrical in transverse distribution. In practice, radiation therapy or radiation irradiation requires a high degree of uniformity of beam spot. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the beam distribution with a nonlinear magnet and other elements on the transport line from synchrotron ring to beam target station. Nonlinear magnet has high requirements on beam quality. Before passing through the nonlinear magnet field, the beam center can be adjusted by taking advantage of the gradient change distribution of the nonlinear magnet’s transverse field map to achieve uniform distribution at the target station. As an example, we use the parameters of heavy ions of XiPAF (Xi’an 200MeV Proton Application Facility) to simulate the beam transport from synchrotron ring to beam target station.
