Conceptional design of a heavy ion linac injector for HIRFL-CSRm

A room temperature heavy ion linac has been proposed as a new injector of the main Cooler Storage Ring(CSRm) at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL), which is expected to improve the performance of HIRFL. The linac injector can supply heavy ions with a maximum mass to charge ratio of 7 and an injection kinetic energy of 7.272 MeV/u for CSRm; the pulsed beam intensity is 3 emA with the duty factor of 3%. Compared with the present cyclotron injector, the Sector Focusing Cyclotron(SFC), the beam current from linac can be improved by 10–100 times. As the pre-accelerator of the linac, the 108.48 MHz 4-rod Radio Frequency Quadrupole(RFQ) accelerates the ion beam from 4 keV/u to 300 keV/u, which achieves the transmission efficiency of 95.3% with a 3.07 m long vane.The phase advance has been taken into account in the analysis of the error tolerance, and parametric resonances have been carefully avoided by adjusting the structure parameters. Kombinierte Null Grad Struktur Interdigital H-mode Drift Tube Linacs(KONUS IH-DTLs), which follow the RFQ, accelerate ions up to the energy of 7.272 MeV/u for CSRm. The resonance frequency is 108.48 MHz for the first two cavities and 216.96 MHz for the last 5 Drift Tube Linacs(DTLs). The maximum accelerating gradient can reach 4.95 MV/m in a DTL section with the length of17.066 m, and the total pulsed RF power is 2.8 MW. A new strategy, for the determination of resonance frequency,RFQ vane voltage and DTL effective accelerating voltage, is described in detail. The beam dynamics design of the linac will be presented in this paper.

RF system design and measurement of HIRF-CSRe

An RF system for the CSRe （cooling storage experimental ring） is designed and manufactured domestically. The present paper mainly describes the RF system design in five main sections： ferrite ring, RF cavity, RF generator, low level system and cavity cooling. The cavity is based on a type of coaxial resonator which is shorted at the end with one gap and loaded with domestic ferrite rings. The RF generator is designed in the push-pull mode and the low level control system is based on a DSP＋FGPA＋DDS＋USB interface and has three feedback loops. Finally we give the results of the measurement on our system.     

用于HIRFL-CSRm纵向压缩高频腔的磁合金环测试

在HIRFL-CSRm上进行高能量密度物理和等离子体物理的研究需要一个能提供高电压的高频腔来对束团进行纵向压缩, 而磁合金加载腔获得较高的加速场梯度可以满足这一要求, 且腔体不需要调谐, 从而简化了高频控制系统。为了选择磁导率和阻抗较大、Q值(品质因数)小于1的磁合金材料来加载压缩高频腔, 对型号为V和A的两种磁合金材料进行了测试。测试结果表明: 型号为V的材料具有较大的磁导率、 阻抗和小于1的Q值, 将被用来加载腔体以获得足够高的加速电场梯度。A high voltage RF cavity is required to compress the beam bunch in the longitudinal for high energy density physics and plasma physics research at HIRFL CSRm. A magnetic alloy (MA) loaded cavity which has high acceleration gradient and without tuning loop (can simplify the RF control system), can meet the requirement. In order to select a proper MA material with higher permeability and shunt impe dance, Q< 1 value to load the RF compression cavity, two different MA materials V and A have been tes ted. The results indicate that the material V will be better for the construction of the RF cavity than material A because of its higher permeability and shunt impedance, Q< 1 value.     

Fabrication of the high power input coupler for BEPCⅡ superconducting cavities

The BEPCII storage ring adopts two 500 MHz superconducting cavities (SCC). Each one is equipped with a 500 MHz input power coupler. The coupler is to feed 150 kW power in continuous wave (CW) mode with both standing and traveling wave modes. Due to high power feeding and high frequency of the coupler, its fabrication is a big challenge. The fabrication started with two key components,the window and the antenna. Up to now, two sets including windows and antennas have been made by IHEP. And a 270 kW RF power in CW has passed through the coupler during the high power test. The fabrication details are presented in this paper.

All feedback algorithms are performed in FPGA.

SSC直线注入器RFQ腔体多物理场分析

SSC-LINAC是为兰州重离子研究装置（HIRFL）设计的直线注入器,它将U34+离子加速到1 MeV/u注入到分离扇回旋加速器（SSC）中,为冷却储存环（CSR）提供10 MeV/u的U34+。该注入器可以将SSC引出的重离子流强提高一个量级以上。SSC-LINAC由一个RFQ（Radio Frequency Quadrupole）加速器和4个DTL（drift tube linac）组成,设计频率为53.667 MHz。RFQ工作在连续波模式,设计功率30 kW,如果不能有效地冷却,高频电流在电极表面产生的热量会使RFQ的腔壁和电极发生形变,从而导致腔体频率的漂移以及加速和聚焦电场的改变。因此,为了保证连续波工作的RFQ加速器稳定运行,对水冷模式和通道设计提出了很高的要求。作者用有限元软件ANSYS对RFQ进行高频电磁场、温度场、结构应力的耦合分析,验证了冷却方案设计的可行性和可靠性。Heavy Ion Research Facility at Lanzhou(HIRFL) consists of SFC, SSC, CSRm and CSRe. A new linac injector, which will increase U34+ to 1 MeV/u, is designed for SSC to increase the beam intensity to ten times higher. The new injector, whose frequency is 53.667 MHz, is composed by a RFQ (Radio Frequency Quadrupole) cavity and four DTL(Drift Tube Linac) cavities. The RFQ cavity, whose RF power is 30 kW, is operated at CW(continuous wave) mode. The heat produced by HF (high frequency) electromagnetic will cause deformation of RFQ structure, lead to the resonant frequency shift, and reduce the focusing efficiency of the cavity. An efficient cooling system is necessary to ensure that the RFQ cavity can stably be operated at the nominal frequency. A detailed multi-physics field coupling analysis of RFQ has been finished with 3D finite elements software ANSYS. The result of the analysis shows that the water cooling system can cool the RFQ cavity fully and keep the frequency drift be in a acceptable level.     

CSR纵向束团压缩腔研究

针对兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环的发展目标,为了满足高能量密度（涉及重离子驱动惯性约束核聚变新能源）等物理研究的需要, 使用三维电磁场计算程序MAFIA研究了一种新型的适用于CSR的纵向束团压缩腔。 此纵向束团压缩腔采用高磁导率软磁合金材料进行加载,相比于铁氧体加载的高频腔, 可以得到高的电场梯度。以250 MeV/u的238U72+离子为例进行了模拟计算, 得出了此纵向束团压缩腔的工作频率为1.15 MHz, 峰值工作电压为80 kV, 由两个1/4波长同轴谐振腔组成, 每个谐振腔峰值工作电压为40 kV,能够满足在CSR上进行纵向束团压缩的要求。 The scheme of longitudinal bunch compression cavity for the Cooling Storage Ring(CSR) is an important issue. Plasma physics experiments require high density heavy ion beam and short pulsed bunch, which can be produced by non adiabatic compression of bunch implemented by a fast compression with 90° rotation in the longitudinal phase space. The phase space rotation in fast compression is initiated by a fast jump of the RF voltage amplitude. For this purpose, the CSR longitudinal bunch compression cavity, loaded with FINEMET FT 1M is studied and simulated with MAFIA code. In this paper, the CSR longitudinal bunch compression cavity is simulated and the initial bunch length of 238U72+ with 250 MeV/u will be compressed from 200 ns to 50 ns. The construction and RF properties of the CSR longitudinal bunch compression cavity are simulated and calculated also with MAFIA code. The operation frequency of the cavity is 1.15 MHz with peak voltage of 80kV, and the cavity can be used to compress heavy ions in the CSR.

Influence of feedbacks in the RF accelerating system and feeders between RF power generators and accelerating resonators on the in-phase dipole oscillations of bunches in cyclic accelerators

In cyclic accelerators, interaction of the beam with the RF accelerating system may generate inphase dipole oscillations of bunches, which govern the limiting current of charged particles in the accelerator. A method of calculating the influence of the parameters of the RF system on the limit current is suggested. It is shown that feedbacks stabilizing the performance of the RF system considerably influence the limiting current in the accelerator. Moreover, the length of feeders through which the power of RF generators is applied to accelerating resonators also has an effect on the limiting current. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by calculating the limiting electron current in a Sibir’-2 storage ring installed at the Russian Research Centre Kurchatov Institute.     

Bunch beam cooling

Electron cooling is used for damping both transverse and longitudinal oscillations of heavy particle. The cooling of bunch ion beam (with RF voltage on) is important part of experiments with inner target, ion collision system, stacking and RF manipulation. The short length of an ion bunch increases the peak luminosity, gives a start-time point for using of the time-of-flight methods and obtains a short extraction beam pulse. This article describes the review of last experiments with electron cooling carried out on the CSRm, CSRe (China) and COSY (Germany) storage rings. The accumulated experience may be used for the project of electron cooler on 2.5 MeV (NICA) and 0.5 MeV HIAF for obtaining high luminosity, depressing beam-beam effects and RF manipulation.
