MOPP099 | Compact Proton Injector for Synchrotrons | 291 |
|
||
Compact linac comprising two sections of different RFQ structures was designed. The first section is conventional RFQ with output energy 3 MeV whereas the second one is RFQ with trapezoidal modulation of vanes. The linac output energy is 8 MeV. The both structures operate at frequency of 352 MHz. The total length of machine is less than 8 m. The output pulsed beam current is of 40 mA. The design is suitable for both as NICA injection complex and proton superconducting medical synchrotron. | ||
MOPP109 | Ion Beam Acceleration in Neutron Tube | 310 |
|

Deuteron beam acceleration in ion-optic system of gas-filled neutron tubes was investigated. PIC code SUMA "*" used for computer simulation of ionization and knock on processes and there influence on deuteron beam parameters. When deuteron and ionized particles own space charge forces become the same order of magnitude as external one, virtual cathode may occurs. It is happened because of injected from ion source deuterons cannot overcome their own space charge potential wall and move in transverse direction. However, electrons, produced by ionization, are trapped within the deuteron beam space charge potential wall and decrease it significantly. Thus, space charge neutralization of deuteron beams by electrons, may considerably increase target current and, as a result, output neutron flow. Moreover, own longitudinal electric field rise near the target leads to reduction of accelerating electrode – target potential wall, which was made to prevent knock on emission from the target. As a result, additional knocked on electrons may appear in the region and should be taken into account. The data obtained were compared with experimental results.

Spatially-periodic RF quadrupole structure is proposed as second section of front end of ion linac. It consists of conventional drift tubes and RF quadrupoles. Quadrupoles are 4-vane segments with nonzero electric potential on the longitudinal axis. Thus the accelerating electric field is formed between drift tubes and RF quadrupoles. Moreover accelerating field can be provided even inside the RF quadrupoles. It allows building structures with different focusing lattices and provides high energy gain rate. | ||
