Time-of-flight Identification of Ions in CESR and ERL
نویسنده
چکیده
The accumulation of ion densities in the beam pipe of an electron beam accelerator can disturb the beam’s dynamics. Efforts to clear this ion cloud from the beam pipe rely on assumptions about its composition, and this work concerns the construction of a detector to determine the concentration of different ion species and charge states in the CESR and ERL beam pipes. This report describes the detector’s assembly and its test with a low energy electron beam.

Challenges for Beams in an Erl Extension to Cesr
Cornell University is planning to build an EnergyRecovery Linac (ERL) X-ray facility. In this ERL design, a 5 GeV superconducting linear accelerator extends the CESR ring. Currently CESR is used for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). The very small electron-beam emittances would produce an x-ray source that is significantly better than any existing storage-ring light source. Ho...
متن کاملDesign, Construction and Calibration of a Laser Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer
A time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) developed in our laboratory at Isfahan University of Technology is described here. The TOF-MS instrument uses laser as the ionization source which provides an opportunity to investigate the ions formed in laser ablation or desorption. The TOF-MS has an ionization chamber containing an accelerator and an ion lens to focus the ions into a one meter line...
متن کاملA New Digital Control System for Cesr-c and the Cornell Erl
M. Liepe , S. Belomestnykh, J. Dobbins, R. Kaplan, C. Strohman, LEPP, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Abstract Recent progress in developing digital low-level RF controls for accelerators has made digital systems an option of choice. At Cornell we are presently working on two projects: upgrading the RF controls of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) for charm-tau operation (CESR-...
متن کاملCESR-X: In-Tunnel Conversion of CESR into Bright X-Ray Source
A plan to convert CESR into a high brightness x-ray source is described. This conversion is compatible with, indeed needed for, the eventual high brightness, fast timing operation promised by the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) project. Being relatively inexpensive, and relying on well-tested and conservative principles, this conversion can be completed in the near future. One role of this project ...
متن کاملFuzzy Model of Human’s Performance for Guarding a Territory in an Air Combat
This paper proposes a new method for a three dimensional fuzzy model of pilot's performance for guarding a territory with a short-distance between two aircraft in an air combat task with a gun. A third-order nonlinear point mass vehicle model is considered for an aircraft's flight dynamics. The desired value of the velocity, the flight path and the heading angles are obtained from some derived ...
