Recent Status of the Mami-c Accelerator and First Experiences with the Energy Upgrade towards 1.6 Gev*

چکیده
The University of Mainz’ institute for nuclear physics is operating the microtron cascade MAMI (Mainzer Mikrotron) since the late 1970ies. The microtron delivers a cw electron beam to users of the hadron physics community. The recent, fourth stage MAMI-C having a design energy of 1.5 GeV is operated since 2006 [1]. This article deals with the recent developments and operational experiences of MAMI-C, as well as with the energy upgrades to 1.56 GeV [2] and as final step towards 1.6 GeV. The final increase of beam energy was due to user demands, since it is expected to raise the event rate of the η’production by an order of magnitude.

Fermilab carries out an extensive program of accelerator-based high energy particle physics research at the Intensity Frontier that relies on the operation of 8 GeV and 120 GeV proton beamlines for a n umber of fixed target experiments. Routine operation with a world-record 700kW of average 120 GeV beam power on the neutrino target was achieved in 2017 as the result of the Proton Improvement Pl...
متن کاملUpgrade of the Cebaf Acceleration System
Long-term plans for CEBAF at Jefferson Lab call for providing 12 GeV in the middle of the next decade and 24 GeV after 2010. Such energies can be achieved within the existing footprint by fully populating the accelerator tunnel with cryomodules capable of twice the operating voltage of the existing ones within the same length. In particular, this requires the development of superconducting cavi...

∗ Worked performed under the auspices of the U.S.D.O.E. Abstract The Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) is a strong focusing accelerator which is used to accelerate protons and various heavy ion species to an equivalent proton energy of 29 GeV. At this energy, the maximum intensity achieved is 7 x 10 protons per pulse. This corresponds to an average beam power of about 0.2 MW. Fu...
متن کاملThe new 1 . 5 GeV Harmonic Double - Sided Microtron
In February 2007, the fourth stage of the Mainz Microtron, MAMI-C, started operations with a first experiment. The new Harmonic Double-Sided Microtron delivers an electron beam with energies up to 1.5GeV while preserving the excellent beam quality of the previous stages. The experimental program at MAMI is focused on studies of the hadron structure in the domain of non-perturbative QCD. In this...
متن کاملKloe Perspectives for R-measurements at Dafne2
As a future upgrade of the Frascati φ factory DAΦNE an increase of the center-of-mass energy of the accelerator up to W = 2 GeV has been proposed (DAFNE2). In this case the hadronic cross section in the energy range between 1−2 GeV can be measured with the KLOE detector. The feasibility of these measurements and the impact on the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muo...
