Design Optimization of the Proposed Isac-2 Project at Triumf
نویسنده
چکیده
A radioactive ion beam facility, ISAC, is presently under construction at TRIUMF. The post-accelerator takes ions of A=q 30 from 2 keV/u to energies up to 1.5 MeV/u. For the next five year plan, it is intended to increase the final energy above the Coulomb barrier (roughly 6.5 MeV/u) and broaden the mass range up to roughly A=150. The ISAC2 proposal utilizes the existing RFQ, and a new IH drift tube linac to reach a new stripping energy of 0.4 MeV/u. A post-stripper superconducting linac will accelerate ions with 3 A=q 7 to 6.5 MeV/u for the heaviest ions and to more than twice this value for the lightest ions. This paper documents the optimization of the ISAC-2 linac design.

Isac at Triumf: Recent Achievements and Future Goals
The ISAC facility at TRIUMF is now routinely delivering record intensities of radioactive ions to low energy experiments (E ≤ 60 keV). The post-accelerator for ISAC includes a 35.4 MHz RF Quadrupole (RFQ) and a poststripper, 106.1 MHz variable energy drift tube linac (DTL) to accelerate ions to a final energy from 0.15 to 1.5 MeV/u. The RFQ has been fully commissioned and the DTL is being insta...

متن کاملCorrection of Field Errors in ISAC RFQ
This paper is an abridged version of a TRIUMF design note[1]. The most important effect of using a non-ideal vane geometry is that the longitudinal field can depart substantially from the value calculated from the usual analytic formulae; and this may lead to beam loss due to inadequate acceleration. The effect is enhanced at low particle speed and low radio-frequency, as occurs at injection in...
متن کاملAcceleration of Charge Bred Radioactive Ions at Triumf
Most ion sources at ISOL (isotope separation on-line) facilities can produce only singly charged ions but efficient post acceleration requires high charge states. For light ions this can be achieved by stripping after a first moderate acceleration but with heavy ions this is no longer possible and charge state breeding is necessary. The breeder should be able to work at a high efficiency for th...
متن کاملDesign of 11.8 Mhz Buncher for Isac at Triumf
The high energy beam transport (HEBT) line for the ISAC radioactive beam facility at TRIUMF requires an 11.8 MHz buncher. The main requirements of the buncher are to operate in cw mode with a velocity acceptance of 2.2% and an effective voltage of 100 kV, which for a three gap buncher gives a drift tube voltage of 30 kV. A lumped element circuit is more suitable than a distributed rf structure ...
