Design of a Gas Scattering Energy Analyser for the Isis Rfq Accelerator Test Stand
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of an apparatus to measure the beam energy of an RFQ, based on multiple scattering of H ions in xenon gas, is described. The purpose of the apparatus is to confirm the mean energy and energy spread of the nominal 665 keV beam from the ISIS RFQ. This RFQ, after comprehensive testing, is intended to replace the existing Cockcroft-Walton pre-injector on the ISIS spallation neutron source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). The basis of the apparatus is a set of two cascaded assemblies each consisting of a gas scattering cell, a drift length and three small apertures which together reduce the peak intensity of the beam current sufficiently to allow a semiconductor charged particle detector to be used to detect individual H ions and measure their energies.

The Front End Test Stand (FETS) under construction at RAL is a demonstrator for front end systems of a future high power proton linac. Possible applications include a linac upgrade for the ISIS spallation neutron source, new future neutron sources, accelerator driven sub-critical systems, high energy physics proton drivers etc. Designed to deliver a 60mA H-minus beam at 3MeV with a 10% duty fac...

i Executive summary High power proton accelerators (HPPAs) are at the heart of many future large-scale scientific facilities such as a spallation-neutron source, Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider, high energy physics at the energy or intensity frontier, accelerator driven sub-critical systems, and the transmutation of nuclear waste. Controlling beam-loss induced machine activation during i...

The proposed multi-specimen Low Energy Transport System (LEBT) consists of a series of solenoids with tunable magnetic fields, used to match the characteristics of the beam to those imposed by the RFQ input specification. The design of the LEBT involves selecting the number of solenoids to use and their fixed positions, so that a set of fields that provides the desired matching can be found for...

It is planned to replace the 665 keV Cockroft Walton set of the ISIS spallation neutron source in the UK with a four rod RFQ. Before this replacement is made, the performance of the RFQ will be extensively assessed on a test stand. One of the quantities we hope to measure is the proportion of accelerated ( trapped ) beam at the exit of the RFQ for various H ion source currents and rod voltages....

In order to contribute to the development of high power proton accelerators in the MW range, to prepare the way for an ISIS upgrade and to contribute to the UK design effort on neutrino factories, a front end test stand (FETS) is being constructed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the UK [1]. The aim of the FETS is to demonstrate the production of a 60 mA, 2 ms, 50 pps chopped beam...
