THCDMH03 | The Progress on Manufacturing and Testing of the SC Magnets for the NICA Booster Synchrotron | 144 |
|
||
NICA is a new accelerator collider complex under construction at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. The facility is aimed at providing collider experiments with heavy ions up to Gold in the center of mass energy from 4 to 11 GeV/u and an average luminosity up to 1*1027 cm-2 s−1 for Au79+. The collisions of polarized deuterons are also foreseen. The facility includes two injector chains, a new superconducting booster synchrotron, the existing 6 AGeV superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron, and a new superconducting collider consisting of two rings, each 503 m in circumference. The booster synchrotron is based on an iron-dominated "window frame"- type magnet with a hollow superconductor winding analogous to the Nuclotron magnet. The design of superconducting magnets for the NICA booster synchrotron is described. The progress of work on the manufacturing and testing of the magnets is discussed. The calculated and measured values of the characteristics of the magnets are presented. The status of the facility for serial test of superconducting magnets for the NICA and FAIR projects is described. | ||

The FAIR-NICA Collaboration for Production and Testing of Superconducting Accelerator Magnets | |
|
||
Based on a common R&D process GSI Darmstadt and JINR Dubna had optimized the operation parameters of their fast ramped accelerator magnets designated for the heavy ion synchrotron SIS100 of the FAIR project as well as for the booster synchrotron and the heavy ion collider of the NICA project. These facilities are now under construction and the series production of the main magnets and correctors for SIS100 and NICA booster was launched. In parallel the superconducting magnet test facilities were commissioned in both institutes. The quadrupole and corrector magnets of the SIS100 will be produced by JINR as a Russian In-Kind contribution to FAIR and cold tested at the common NICA test facility in Dubna. We summarize the main parameters of the optimized magnets related to the magnetic field quality and the cooling efficiency, present the first production experiences and test results and give an outlook on the overall project schedules. | ||

FRCAMH01 | Status of the Nuclotron | 150 |
|
||
Since last RuPAC two runs of the Nuclotron operation were performed: in January - March of 2015 and June 2016. Presently we are providing the run, which has been started at the end of October and will be continued up to the end of December. The facility development is aimed to the performance increase for current physical program realization and preparation to the NICA Booster construction and Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron experiment. | ||

FRCAMH05 | Booster Synchrotron at NICA Accelerator Complex | 160 |
|
||
NICA is the new complex being constructed on the JINR aimed to provide collider experiments with ions up to aurum at energy of 4.5x4.5 GeV/u. The NICA layout includes 600 MeV/u Booster synchrotron as a part of the injection chain of the NICA Collider. The main goals of the Booster are the following: accumulation of 4E109 Au31+ ions; acceleration of the heavy ions up to energy required for effective stripping; forming of the required beam emittance with electron cooling system. The layout makes it possible to place the Booster having 210.96 m circumference and four fold symmetry lattice inside the yoke of the former Synchrophasotron. The features of the Booster, its main systems, their parameters and current status are presented in this paper. | ||

FRCAMH07 | NICA Collider Lattice Optimization | 166 |
|
||
The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) - accelerator complex is being constructed at JINR. It is aimed to the collider experiments with ions and protons and has to provide the ion-ion (Au+79) and ion-proton collision in the energy range of 1-4.5 GeV/amu and also polarized proton-proton and deuteron-deuteron collisions. Each of two collider ring has a racetrack shape with two bending arcs and two long straight sections. Beams are separated in vertical plane and come into collisions in two IPs. Dynamic aperture of the NICA collider has been studied for different parameters of the optics at IP. Effects of the fringe fields of structural elements are considered in the optimization of the collider lattice. | ||

The beam chambers consist regular cold periods, which are at a temperature of 4.2K to 80K, and warm irregular gaps at room temperature. Operating pressure in the thermal enclosure vacuum volumes have to maintained in the range of 10-7 to 10-4 mbar, in the beam chamber cold and warm areas - not more than 2·10-11 mbar. The requirements for materials, surface preparation conditions and the level of leakage in the vacuum volume are set out. The description of way to achievement and maintenance of the working vacuum in the NICA project are presented. | ||
