  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 FAIR project is a new international accelerator complex, currently under construction in Darmstadt, Germany. The heavy-ion synchrotron SIS100 is the main accelerator of the whole complex. It will provide high-intensity primary beams with a magnetic rigidity of 100 Tm and a maximum repetition rate up to 4 Hz. The series production and testing of superconducting quadrupole units began in 2020 at JINR, Dubna. The first batch of units was delivered to Germany in September 2020. Each unit is subjected to a comprehensive testing program both at ambient temperature and under cryogenic conditions. We present the performance characteristics of the first quadrupole units (consisting of a lattice quadrupole magnet and correcting magnet mechanically and hydraulically coupled to a quadrupole). The main attention is paid to the field quality of the series of 6 quadrupoles measured by the same probe.

  The FAIR complex at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum will generate heavy ion beams of ultimate intensities. To achieve this goal, medium charge states have to be used. However, the probability for charge exchange in collisions with residual gas particles of such ions is much higher than for higher charge states. In order to lower the residual gas density to extreme high vacuum conditions, 65% of the circumference of SIS18 are already coated with NEG, which provides high and distributed pumping speed. Nevertheless, nobel and nobel-like components, which have very high ionization cross sections, do not get pumped by this coating. A cryogenic environment at moderate temperatures, i.e. at 50-80K, provides high pumping speed for all heavy residual gas particles. The only typical residual gas species, that cannot be pumped at this temperature is hydrogen. With an additional NEG coating the pumping will be optimized for all residual gas particles. The installation of cryogenic surfaces in the existing room temperature synchrotron SIS18 at GSI has been investigated. A prototype quadrupole chamber with cryogenic surfaces, first measurements, and simulations of the adapted accelerator are presented.

  Cancer therapy using protons and heavier ions such as carbon has demonstrated advantages over other radiotherapy treatments. To bring about the next generation of clinical facilities, the requirements are likely to reduce the footprint, obtain beam intensities above 1E10 particles per spill, and achieve faster extraction for more rapid, flexible treatment. This review follows the technical development of ion therapy, discussing how machine parameters have evolved, as well as trends emerging in technologies for novel treatments such as FLASH. To conclude, the future prospects of ion therapy accelerators are evaluated.

  Funding: Research supported by the HL-LHC project
For the first time, a full characterization of the Pb-Pb and Pb-p collision debris as well as its impact in terms of energy deposition in the long straight section (LSS) of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider has been carried out. By means of Monte Carlo simulations with FLUKA, both inelastic nuclear interaction and electromagnetic dissociation were taken into account as source term for lead ion operation, while for Pb-p operation only nuclear interaction is of importance. The radiation exposure of detectors exclusively destined for ion beam runs is assessed, allowing drawing implications of their use. This work gave the opportunity for an unprecedented validation of simulation results against measurement of beam loss monitors (BLM) in the experimental LSS during ion operation. Pb-Pb operation refers to the 2018 ion run at 6.37 TeV per charge with a +160 microrad half crossing angle in the vertical plane at the ATLAS interaction point. Instead, Pb-p operation was benchmarked for the 2016 ion run at 6.5 TeV per charge with -140 microrad half crossing angle in the vertical plane at the same location.

WEPAB025 Collimation Strategies for Secondary Beams in FCC-hh Ion-Ion Operation secondary-beams, collider, simulation, site 2652

  The target peak luminosity of the CERN FCC-hh during Pb-Pb collisions is more than a factor of 50 greater than that achieved by the LHC in 2018. As a result, the intensity of secondary beams produced in collisions at the interaction points will be significantly higher than previously experienced. With up to 72 kW deposited in a localised region by a single secondary beam type, namely the one originated by Bound Free Pair Production (BFPP), it is essential to develop strategies to safely intercept these beams, including the ones from ElectroMagnetic Dissociation (EMD), in order to ensure successful FCC-hh Pb-Pb operation. A series of beam tracking and energy deposition simulations were performed to determine the optimal solution for handling the impact of such beams. In this contribution the most advanced results are presented, with a discussion of different options.

  Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator (HILAC) is designed to accelerate the heavy ions with ratio A/Z<=6.25 produced by ESIS ion source up to the 3.2 MeV for the injection into superconducting synchrotron (SC) Booster. HILAC was commissioned in 2018 using the carbon beams from Laser Ion Source (LIS). The project output energy was verified. Transmission could be estimated only for DTL structure because of the presence at the RFQ input the mixture of ions with different charge states extracted from laser-plasma. To estimate transmission through the whole linac the ion source producing the only species He+ was designed. The beams of He+ ions were used for the first run of SC Booster. The design of the helium ion source and results of the He+ beam acceleration and injection are described.

  The superconducting heavy ion synchrotron SIS100, which is the main accelerator of the FAIR-facility will be equipped with cryocatcher to suppress dynamic vacuum effects and to assure a reliable operation of high intensity heavy-ion beams. Subsequent to the successful validation of the prototype in 2011 as well as a First-of-Series cryocatcher, the series production of 60 cryocatcher modules meanwhile has been completed. It was released in 2018 after further design optimizations. Key findings from the series production and acceptance tests are presented as well. The First-of-Series cryocatcher has been integrated into the First-of-Series quadrupole module and has undergone several tests. These results are also illustrated in this report.

  KOrea Broad acceptance Recoil spectrometer & Apparatus (KOBRA) is an experimental facility for low energy nuclear physics in the heavy ion accelerator complex RAON. Two re-buncher systems at KOBRA beamline are required to longitudinally focus the 40Ar9+ with 27MeV/u. The normal conducting IH resonator with seven-gap as the re-buncher structure was chosen because of the reduction in the risk of particulate contamination and total power consumption. In this paper, the detailed design results of the 162.5 MHz IH re-buncher cavity will be presented.
