A design and development of a linac front-end, that guaranties the required beam, quality is an issue of the day. A linac with RF focusing by means of the accelerating field spatial harmonics is suggested as an alternative to RFQ system.

TUPSA12 | The User Friendly Interface for BEAMDULAC-RFQ Code | simulation, interface, linac, space-charge | 60 |
|
|||
The BEAMDULAC* beam dynamics simulation code is under development at MEPhI Department of Electrophysical Facilities since 1999. Such code includes versions for beam dynamics simulation in a number of accelerating structures as RFQ, DTL, APF, transport channels, ets. The motion equation for each particle is solved selfconsistently in the external fields and the inter-particle Coulomb field simultaneously. The BEAMDULAC code utilizes the cloud-in-cell (CIC) method for accurate treatment of the space charge effects. The external field can be represented analytically, as a series or on the grid. The absence of user friendly interface was the main disadvantage of the code. Last year such interface was developed and will present in the report.

TUPSA15 | Second Order Method for Beam Dynamics Optimization | controls, framework, acceleration, longitudinal-dynamics | 69 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported by St.-Petersburg State University grant #9.38.673.2013. Methods of beam dynamics optimization of the first order are known and used for beam dynamics optimization*. These method are based on numerical calculation of gradient of functional estimating beam quality. In this report, method of optimization is proposed that includes numerical calculation of the second derivations (Hessian) of the quality functional. Proposed method is applied for a beam in RFQ channel. Control problem is formulated. The propblem consists in minimizing of functional depending on the beam density and on control functions. The control functions are the acceleration efficiency, the synchronous phase, and the channel apperture. For numerical solution the control functions are taken in parameterized form. The process of optimization represents a sequence of steps with use of the first and the second derivatives on parameters, during which the value of the functional decreases. * D.A. Ovsyannikov, O.I.

WEPSB05 | Optimization of Electric Field Distribution Inside Multi-gap CH-Resonator | impedance, cavity, proton, acceleration | 164 |
|
|||
This paper presents the results of the electrodynamic modelling of the Crossbar H-mode (CH) resonator. The main goal was to get the uniform accelerating field distribution and to optimize effective shunt impedance. The initial model of the 324 MHz cavity consists of 7 equidistant RF gaps with the period length 46.26 mm. To optimize its electrodynamic characteristics the design contains pylons. Solution of the tuning task consists of several steps. Firstly it was chosen the optimal relation between the holding rod length and the pylon's height. Then the most significant improvement on the E-field distribution was introduced by optimizing the gap between end walls of the resonator and the pylon. The final adjustment of the field distribution and the tuning to the working frequency was performed by means of the holes in the pylon. Correct geometry increases effective shunt impedance from 55 MOhm/m to 80 MOhm/m and improves the field flatness to the 97%. The results of optimization the cavities for different particle velocities with 7,9 and 11 accelerating gaps and different aperture diameter are presented. | |||

|

In the ITEP the Heavy Ion RFQ HIP-1 (Heavy Ion Prototype) provides ion beams for two different experimental programs. The first one is successfully ongoing and it is aimed to irradiation resistance investigation of reactor construction materials. Samples of new materials for reactors are irradiated by beams of iron, vanadium ions accelerated by the linac. The structure changes are investigated by both transmission electron microscope and atom-probe tomography. The second one is under development and it is aimed to investigate ion beam interaction with plasma and metal vapor targets. On the basis of beam dynamics simulation the design of new RFQ-output line for both experiments realization was developed. Details of beam dynamics simulation and output line design are presented and discussed in this paper. | |||
THPSC01 | Status of Linacs with High-frequency Quadrupole Focusing LU-30 and LU-30M in IHEP | proton, operation, linac, DTL | 312 |
|
|||
There are two RFQ DT proton linacs, named the LU-30 and LU-30M, in the SRC IHEP of NRC "Kurchatov Institute" that are presently in operation. Both are the unique machines employing radio-frequency quadrupole focusing up to 30 MeV at exit. The LU-30 machine now runs as a proton injector to the booster RC PS U-1.5 that feeds the main PS U-70 ultimately. The LU-30M is now run in a stand-alone test operation mode. Such a parallel functioning of these two accelerators allows to use the LU-30M as an experimental facility enabling R&D on new technical decisions and upgrades for the ageing LU-30. On the other hand, the routine operation of the workhorse LU-30 allows for testing of the technical decisions proposed under a heavy non-stop operation during the U-70 runs for fixed-target physics. | |||

Funding: Work is supported by IHEP with contract № 0348100096313000178 Taking the care for beam quality and the possibility of practical realization, the scheme and parameters for 400 MeV H− linac are considered. The concepts for beam emittance preservation, both transverse and longitudinal, starting from RFQ, following with PMQ focusing DTL and finishing with high energy CCL part are summarized. Different focusing schemes are analyzed for DTL and CCL parts. The pulse beam current is limited to the safe value 40 mA and the average current up to 2 mA is supposed by duty factor of 5%. The single operating frequency 352 MHz is for all linac parts, providing the strong unification both for RF system and elements of accelerating structures. Referring and comparing with existing solutions for another intense linacs, the feasibility and reality of the proposal is confirmed. Expected performances both in beam, parameters and hardware are summarized. |
