  The ReAccelerator ReA3 is a worldwide unique, state-of-the-art linear accelerator for rare isotope beams. Beams of rare isotopes are produced and separated in-flight at the NSCL Coupled Cyclotron Facility and subsequently stopped in a linear gas cell. The rare isotopes are then continuously extracted as 1+ ions and transported into a beam cooler and buncher. Ion pulses provided by this device are then transported to a charge breeder based on an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) where they are captured in flight. The 1+ ions are ionized to a charge state suitable for acceleration in the superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) ReA3 linac, extracted in a pulsed mode and mass analyzed. The extracted beam is pre-bunched before injection into the RFQ and SRF linac, both operating at frequency of 80.5 MHz, and then accelerated to energies from 300 keV/u up to 6 MeV/u, depending on the charge-to-mass ratio of the ion. Stable isotopes can alternatively also be injected into the linac from the EBIT in off-line mode (by ionization of residual gas) or from external off-line ion sources. This contribution will focus on the methodology, properties and techniques used to accelerate and control low intensity rare isotope beams. Results obtained during the preparation of various experiments using the ReA facility, including those with the rare ions 46Ar and 37,46,47K will also be presented.

  Multi-charge state heavy ion beams have been proposed to increase average beam intensity in rare isotope drive linacs. However, the dynamics of multi-charge state beams make it challenging to optimize the beam quality in low energy linacs. One of the primary complications is that the multiple charge states introduce different focusing effects in the beam dynamics. This leads to a large frequency spectrum in the transverse motion of the beam centroid. Matlab simulations are used to describe how the frequency spectrum of the centroid transforms when the reference charge state is changed in accelerating, space charge free solenoid lattices. These frequency shifts can then be used to predict the behavior of beam of known composition using the frequency spectrum of BPM signals.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), under con-struction at Michigan State University, will utilize a driver linac to accelerate stable ion beams from protons to ura-nium up to energies of >200 MeV per nucleon with a beam power of up to 400 kW. Superconducting technology is widely used in the FRIB project, including the ion sources, linac, and experiment facilities. The FRIB linac consists of 48 cryomodules containing a total of 332 superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) resonators and 69 superconducting solenoids. We report on the design and the construction of FRIB cryomodules.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a high-power, heavy ion facility, can accelerate beam up to 400 kW power with kinetic energy ≥ 200 MeV/u. Its fast protection system is required to detect failure and remove beam within 35 μs to prevent damage to equipment. The fast protection system collects OK/NOK inputs from hundreds of devices, such as low level RF controllers, beam loss monitors, and beam current monitors, which are distributed over 200 m. The engineering challenge here is to design a distributed control system to collect status from these devices and send out the mitigation signals within 10 μS timing budget and also rearm for the next pulse for 100 Hz beam (10 mS). This paper describes an engineering solution with a master-slave structure adopted in FRIB. Details will be covered from system architecture to FPGA hardware platform design and from communication protocols to physical interface definition. The response time of ~9.6μS from OK/NOK inputs to mitigation outputs is reached when query method is used to poll the status. A new approach is outlined to use bi-direction loop structure for the slave chain and use streaming mode for data collection from slave to master, ~3μS response time are expected from this engineering optimization.
