Heavy ion guide: beam transport and diagnostics

Our present plans for a heavy-ion guide system are based on developments at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) [1]. For the heavy-ion guide, preselection of ions will be done using a superconducting solenoid similar to that being used now in the BigSol spectrometer. Earlier tests with a 1 m long gas cell at low input intensities (below 10 ion/sec) have been carried out at ANL with beams up to 4 ...

3.1 Proton and Heavy Ion Beam Therapy

Motivation Cancer is the second most frequent cause for disease in the developed countries. Every year, more than 1 million people in the European Union are diagnosed of having cancer. A general cure of cancer is not in sight because the term cancer stands for a large variety of diseases that can be characterised by an uncontrolled cell growth. Normally, cell growth is regulated by a number of ...

Beam Imaging Diagnostics for Heavy Ion Beam Fusion Experiments*

We are developing techniques for imaging beams in heavy-ion beam fusion experiments in the HIF-VNL in 2 to 4 transverse dimensions. The beams in current experiments range in energy from 50 keV to 2 MeV, with beam current densities from <10 to 200 mA/cm, and pulse lengths of 4 to 20 μs. The beam energy will range up to 10 MeV in near-future beam experiments. The imaging techniques, based on kapt...

Beam-beam observations in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Non-intercepting diagnostics for intense, strongly focused heavy ion beam

In order to compare the results of HEDP/WDM experiments with simulations, it is important to know beam parameters at the target. As high level of energy deposition would destroy any material1 in a single shot, nonintercepting methods have to be used for beam diagnostics. The longitudinal paramters – total number of particles and beam intensity profile – are recorded in every short with current ...
