Electron-cloud Mitigation in the Spallation Neutron Source Ring∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accumulator ring is designed to accumulate, via H− injection, protons of 2 MW beam power at 1 GeV kinetic energy at a repetition rate of 60 Hz [1]. At such beam intensity, electroncloud is expected to be one of the intensity-limiting mechanisms that complicate ring operations. This paper summarizes mitigation strategy adopted in the design, both in suppressing electron-cloud formation and in enhancing Landau damping, including tapered magnetic field and monitoring system for the collection of stripped electrons at injection, TiN coated beam chamber for suppression of the secondary yield, clearing electrodes dedicated for the injection region and parasitic on BPMs around the ring, solenoid windings in the collimation region, and planning of vacuum systems for beam scrubbing upon operation.

Mitigation of the Electron-cloud Effect in the Psr and Sns Proton Storage Rings by Tailoring the Bunch Profile∗
For the storage ring of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge, and for the Proton Storage Ring (PSR) at Los Alamos, both with intense and very long bunches, the electron cloud develops primarily by the mechanism of trailing-edge multipacting. We show, by means of simulations for the PSR, how the resonant nature of this mechanism may be effectively broken by tailoring the longitudinal...
متن کاملElectron Cloud Effects – Observations, Mitigation Measures, and Challenges in Rhic and Sns
Electron cloud is one of the leading mechanisms that limit the performance of high intensity circular accelerators and colliders. In the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, multibunch electron cloud effects are observed both in the warm region and super-conducting region when the number of ion bunches and their intensities are raised beyond the design values. Vacuum-pressure rises, transverse tune...
متن کاملMechanism of Electron Cloud Clearing with Electrodes
Clearing electrodes have been successfully used to remove the ion from the vacuum chamber in many electron accelerators, especially in electron synchrotron light source. Electron cloud caused beam instabilities and vacuum pressure rise are becoming more and more important with the increasing beam intensity in recent years. In this paper we have explored the mechanism to clear the electron cloud...

Introduction Particle accelerators have been essential tools for elementary particle physics research for many years. They are now becoming increasingly important for applied science, typically done at user facilities such as light sources and neutron sources. The performance of future high intensity positron and proton accelerators is likely to be limited by the development of electron plasma,...
متن کاملCalculations of Electron Accumulation in the Sns Storage Ring
This is a study to determine what kind of materials could be used in the Spallation Neutron Source ring to prevent electron accumulation due to the secondary emission. The calculations presented here are simple but based on experimental facts. Practical recommendations for the accumulator ring are considered.
