Trapping of Electron Bunches Injected in a Wake Wave  
 
  • S.V. Kuznetsov
    JIHT RAS, Moscow, Russia
 
  The process of electron trapping by a wake wave excited by a laser pulse in a plasma channel in the case where the electron bunches are injected into the vicinity of the maximum of the wakefield potential at a velocity lower than the wave phase velocity is investigated analytically and numerically*. The mechanism for the formation of a compact electron bunch in the trapping region when only the electrons of the injected bunch that are trapped in the focusing phase mainly undergo the subsequent acceleration in the wake field is analyzed. The influence of the spatial dimensions of the injected bunch and its energy spread on the length of the trapped electron bunch and the fraction of trapped electrons is studied. Formulas have been derived that allows one to accurately estimate the length of the trapped electron bunch and the number of electrons in it. It is shown that the influence of the transverse dimensions of the injected bunch on the length of the trapped electron bunch in the accelerating stage is as important as the influence of its longitudinal size.

  • V.A. Vorontsov
    MEPhI, Moscow, Russia
 
  The short analysis of the current situation in accelerating technique development is done. It is shown that the new stage of this development can be connected with drastically increasing of the energy and the current of the accelerated charged particle beams. The scale of this increasing is discussed. The accelerator technique paradigm changing is connected with the refusing from the well-known accelerating methods and the primary using of the combination of the laser, plasma and the solid state body electromagnetic fields to increase the mentioned above accelerator parameters. In this case for example the perspective power programs can receive a new impulse in their development. That is why the creation of new big scales accelerators can be paid off and the new physics investigation horizons are opened also. The ways to try to do so are discussed and some parameters of such charged particle accelerators and the appropriate resulting estimates are presented.

Longitudinal Dynamics of a Bunch of Charged Particles in a Traveling Wave Field  
 
  • V.K. Baev, B.Y. Bogdanovich, A. Nesterovich
    MEPhI, Moscow, Russia
 
  The longitudinal dynamics of a bunch of charged particles in a traveling wave field has been studied. A Lagrange function for this motion is constructed and the Lagrange equation describing longitudinal envelopes of the bunch is derived. The obtained equation describes longitudinal envelopes of a bunch of charged particles. It is advantageous to the well-known equations of envelopes, primarily, in being simple. Additional advantages are as follows. First, the solutions of equation determine not only the longitudinal size of a bunch, but also the width of its energy spectrum. Second, the equation has been derived without any restrictions imposed on the bunch length (phase space dimension), so that the model is nonlinear and, hence, more general. Third, the equation takes into account the acceleration of a bunch. Finally, Lagrange equation takes into account the force of the intrinsic Coulomb field of a bunch in terms of the naturally included ellipsoid model, so that this envelope equation is self-consistent.  
 
TUPSA12 The User Friendly Interface for BEAMDULAC-RFQ Code 60
 
  • S.M. Polozov, P.O. Larin
    MEPhI, Moscow, Russia
 
  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.

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.

  • V.L. Smirnov, S.B. Vorozhtsov
    JINR/DLNP, Dubna, Moscow region, Russia
 
  One of advantages of a compact cyclotron over other type accelerators is a small size mainly defined by the facility’s bending magnetic field. In such cyclotrons an application of an external injection is required in some cases. But for high magnetic field of the cyclotrons (over 4-5 T) there appears a severe problem to make the 1st turns in the machine with external injection of accelerated particles. This paper describes a proposal of a new central region structure of a compact cyclotron that permits one to successfully solve the problem of the axial injection into such a facility using a spiral inflector.  
 
TUPSA18 Complex Shunt Impedance and Beam-RF Cavity Interaction 77
 
  • V.G. Kurakin
    LPI, Moscow, Russia
 
  Two approaches usually are used to describe beam-cavity interaction in accelerator based applications. The first one is electro dynamical and uses Maxwell equations to derive appropriate equations, field modes expressions being necessary to calculate field amplitudes excited by moving charges in the cavity. The other one uses LC circuit to derive appropriate equations for voltage amplitude induced in cavity by accelerated bunches, thin accelerating gap to some extent being not fully correctly defined representation in such approach. In this paper, the expressions are derived that describe beam-RF cavity interactions in terms of so called complex shunt impedance, strict electro dynamical approach being used in calculations. It is shown that complex shunt impedance module coincides completely with usual shunt impedance definition that up to now is used widely to describe rf cavity efficiency. The physical sense of its phase is given in the paper as well. Both complex shunt impedance module and its phase can be calculated or measured experimentally.

  Current success of the superconducting linear accelerators based on independently phased SC cavities gives a seriously reason to consider such structure in proton radiotherapy. Superconductivity allow to solve at once some problems concerned with a low rate of energy gain, high length, higher capacity losses and higher cost of the proton linear accelerator subsequently. One of the traditional aims of such facilities is receiving of the beam energy about 240 MeV with possibility of fluently regulation in range from 150 to 240 MeV that responds to irradiate the tumors located at different depth. The possibility of beam energy variation by means of RF field phase in last resonators and number of the resonator turn-off becomes the major advantage of the proton SC linac. The optimal choice of accelerator parameters and the beam dynamics simulation results with using BEAMDULAC-SCL code will presented*. Methods of the output energy variation with beam quality preservation in the proton SC linac will discussed.

  The main problem was to get the same transverse phase space parameters on the isotope target for the different proton beam energies within a large deviation range. Two matching parts placed on the linear accelerator structure were used. The data of the transverse phase space parameters depending on the focusing structure of the isotope complex transport line were calculated at the point before the dipole of isotope line rejection. The beam dynamics restrictions were used for simulations. The crossing of the transverse phase spaces for different beam energies permits to get the reliable solutions for transverse beam dynamics with the identical supply currents, which are used for the transverse focusing on the linear accelerator structure both for simulations and experiments.

As part of the FAIR project, HEDgeHOB collaboration involves developments of PRIOR* proton-radiographic facilities, one of the purposes of which is to study the state of matter in extreme conditions. In the currently in GSI (Darmstadt, Germany), prototype of PRIOR proton microscope setup is developing, this setup designed for the use of proton beam with energy of 4.5 GeV. Magnetic optics of PRIOR proton microscope forming section consists of four quadrupole lenses created on the basis of permanent magnets (PMQ). For best quality (linearity, magnetic axis position, angle of median plane) of the magnetic field of quadrupole lenses and a full-scale setup simulation is necessary to measure the magnetic field inside the lenses. For the measurement of the magnetic field (radial component of the magnetic field) of quadrupole lenses are designed and developed magnetic field scanner. Scanning of the magnetic field is performed on cylindrical surface near the inner surface of PMQ lenses. Based on the results of scanning the radial component of the magnetic field will be carried out calculations of the mathematical model (developed in ITEP)**, which describes the distribution of the magnetic field at any point within the aperture of the lens. In this work presents the results of the calculation of all components of the magnetic field, determining the position of the magnetic axis,harmonic analysis and the analysis of non-linearity of the magnetic field for PRIOR PMQ lenses.

  In the Laboratory of Nuclear Problems of the JINR the possibility of designing of the isochronous cyclotron F250 with the energy of protons 250 MeV on the basis of magnet with the diameter of pole 6 m, which is used for the synchro-cyclotron is examined. Synchro-cyclotron many years works for obtaining the protons with the energy 680 MeV and with the intensity of extracted beam 2.5 mkA. For the solution of medical problems the required energy of protons comprises not more than 250 MeV and depends on the depth of the tumor arrangement inside a patient. For determining the required energy of protons the information about the mean free path of protons in the correspondence for the position of Bragg's peak in each case is used. Necessary energy of protons is obtained by means of degrader system providing a retarding the extracted beam of protons with 680 MeV to 250 MeV and less. In this case the utilized for medical purposes intensity of beam does not exceed 50 nA. The proposed cyclotron F250 will make it possible to strongly decrease the electric power of magnet and to avoid the need of beam degradation from 680 MeV to 250 MeV. For creating the required magnetic field of the cyclotron F250 it is necessary to change the form of steel spiral shims and disks, located inside a vacuum chamber of synchro-cyclotron. The basic parameters of the magnetic system of the cyclotron F250 with the condition of retaining the vacuum chamber and the magnet yoke of synchro-cyclotron are given.

  The European XFEL project will employ L-band multibeam horizontal klystrons (MBK) from companies Toshiba (E3736) and Thales (TH 1802). Using the horizontal type of klystrons will significantly reduce construction costs of XFEL tunnel, but due to the large weights and dimensions of the pulse transformers and klystrons requires far more complicated mechanism to connect the klystrons and the pulse transformers inside the tunnel. It was proposed to make these connections by using flexible HV cable. BINP has developed an intermediate oil tank, connection module (CM), which on one side is connected to the cathode of klystron and on the other side has a HV connector for the connection to the pulse transformer. The connection module mechanically consists of two assemblies. The first is the oil tank that has inside an insulated filament transformer and measurement system. The second is the high frequency power supply unit (HFPS) what can be up to 20 meters away from the oil tank. The insulating transformer is designed by unique technology of the coupled resonant circuits with a high-voltage gap of 49 mm and coupling factor ~0.6. Its working frequency is about 1.6 kHz. The efficiency is gained about 90%, and maximum electric field intensity does not exceed 35 kV/cm. In this paper we give an overview of the design and the test results of the horizontal klystron cathode heater power supply system based on using HV insulating transformer with coupling factor <1.

  The report considers the interactive computer modeling of vacuum systems. Operation of real vacuum installations is modeled by simulating computer code. It becomes possible in a short time (with the assessment of real-time) to pass through full cycle of the technologies to reach high vacuum state and to estimate the necessary time. It is possible to assemble virtual installation, to choose the necessary pumps (from the database of low-vacuum and high-vacuum ones), to select the vacuum connecting pipes with the required parameters. The vacuum chamber volume and its internal surfaces characteristics (roughness, types of preliminary processing), defining outgassing from these surfaces are set. Possible leakage in junction places of the individual elements of the system could be taken into consideration. After pumping start, sequential switching on of different pumps and achievement of a certain pressure, possibility of chamber preheating up to the necessary temperature is provided. During the analysis of procedure of pumping optimization of the structure of system and the selected elements is made. The computer laboratory is a part of traditional laboratory of vacuum technique of the Department of Electrophysical Facilities of NRNU MEPhI. Modeling of vacuum systems significantly expands the functional capabilities of this laboratory.
