SLAC A-LINE UPGRADE TO 50 GeV*
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SLAC A-Line, originally developed to transport electron beams to experiments in End Station A at energies up to 25 GeV, is being upgraded to support a revived fixed target program. In this paper we discuss a proposed new configuration that will transport beams at energies up to 50 GeV. Implementation of this configuration will require the addition of several magnets, the replacement of power supplies, and modifications to the instrumentation. Also discussed are the energy resolving capabilities of the new transport line and design options for minimizing emittance growth.

DIPOLE MAGNETS FOR THE SLAC 50 GeV A-LINE UPGRADE*
The SLAC A-Line is a transport system originally designed to deliver electron beams of up to 25 GeV to fixed target experiments in End Station A. To raise the beam energy capability of the A-Line to 52 GeV, the eight original bending magnets, plus four more of the same type, have been modified by reducing their gaps and adding trim windings to compensate for energy loss due to synchrotron radia...
متن کاملOptics Design for Facet
FACET is a proposed facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. It will provide high energy, tightly focused and compressed electron and positron bunches for beam driven plasma wakefield acceleration research and other experiments. FACET will be built in the SLAC linac sector 20, where it will be separated from the LCLS located immediately downstream and will take advantage of the upstrea...

To produce energies of over 50 GeV for SLC, all klystron stations on the accelerator ue being upgraded to produce 250 MeV energy contribution per station. This involves installii new, higher power, longer pulse klystrons, upgrading klystron modulators to provide these higher voltage, longer klystron beam pulses, and a new interlock and protection system.’ A new VAX based diagnostic system inclu...
متن کاملTest Beam Experiment With Polarized Positrons *
In the proposed E-166 experiment at SLAC, 50 GeV electrons pass through a helical undulator, and produce circularly polarized photons, which interact with a tungsten target and generate longitudinally polarized positrons. The background is an important issue for an experiment under consideration. To address this issue, simulations were performed with the code GEANT3 to model the production of s...
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...
