  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.

  A heavy-ion in­jec­tor can be used for SEE study. In this paper, the pri­mary beam dy­nam­ics de­sign of a heavy-ion in­jec­tor for the XiPAF up­grade is pre­sented. The in­jec­tor con­sists of an ECR heavy-ion source, a LEBT, an RFQ, and a DTL. The mass charge ratio can be up to 6.5. The RFQ can ac­cel­er­ate heavy ions to 500 keV/u, and the DTL can ac­cel­er­ate the ions to 2 MeV/u, which can meet the re­quire­ment of the syn­chro­tron.

  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.

  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.

  The syn­chro­tron of XiPAF (Xi’an 200MeV pro­ton ap­pli­ca­tion Fa­cil­ity) is a com­pact pro­ton syn­chro­tron, which using H- strip­ping in­jec­tion and phase space paint­ing scheme. Now XiPAF is under com­mis­sion­ing with some achieve­ments, the cur­rent in­ten­sity after in­jec­tion reach 43mA, the cor­re­spond­ing par­ti­cle num­ber is 2.3·1011, and the in­jec­tion ef­fi­ciency is 57%. The sim­u­la­tion re­sults by Py­Or­bit show that the in­jec­tion ef­fi­ciency is 77%. In this paper, we re­port how the in­jec­tion in­ten­sity and ef­fi­ciency were op­ti­mized. We an­a­lyzed the dif­fer­ence be­tween sim­u­la­tion and ex­per­i­ments, and quan­ti­ta­tively in­ves­ti­gate the fac­tors af­fect­ing in­jec­tion ef­fi­ciency through ex­per­i­ments.

  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.

It com­prises a 7 MeV H linac, a 60~230 MeV pro­ton syn­chro­tron, and ex­per­i­men­tal sta­tions. Slow ex­trac­tion com­mis­sion­ing for 60 MeV pro­ton beam in XiPAF syn­chro­tron has been fin­ished. After com­mis­sion­ing, the max­i­mal ex­per­i­ment ex­trac­tion ef­fi­ciency with the RF-knock­out (RF-KO) method can up to 85%. The rea­son for beam loss has been an­a­lyzed and pre­sented in this paper. Be­sides, an ex­per­i­ment of mul­ti­ple en­ergy ex­trac­tion has been con­ducted in XiPAF syn­chro­tron. The pro­ton beams of 3 dif­fer­ent en­er­gies were suc­cess­fully ex­tracted in 1.54 s.

  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.
