Longitudinal Emittance Oscillation in a Superconducting Drift Tube Linac
نویسنده
چکیده
In drift tube linacs a beam energy spread results from the finite beam size. Radial variation of the axial accelerating field induces a beam energy spread, which, in general, will accumulate as the beam passes through successive drift tubes. This paper shows that under some conditions of periodic transverse focusing and longitudinal phase focusing, the correlation between the longitudinal and transverse motion can be used to correct the energy spread. The process of achieving such a correction is first described in a simplified situation, and then demonstrated for a particular tuning using a ray-tracing program which models a low velocity and low charge state linac designed for radioactive ion beams.

2GeV SUPERCONDUCTING MUON LINAC
A muon collider as well as a neutrino factory requires a large number of muons with a kinetic energy of 50GeV or more. Muon survival demands a high gradient linac. The large transverse and longitudinal emittance of the muon beam coming from a muon cooling system implies the need for a large acceptance, acceleration system. These two requirements point clearly to a linac based on superconducting...
متن کاملExpected Beam Performance of the Sns Linac*
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project is a collaboration among Argonne, Brookhaven, Jefferson, Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. The Linac, which injects beam into an accumulator ring, is comprised of both normal and superconducting rf (SRF) accelerating structures. Two room-temperature rf structures, a 402.5-MHz drift-tube linac (DTL) and an 805-MHz coupl...
متن کاملA Low-charge-state Injector Linac for Atlas
The design of a low-charge-state linac which is capable of accelerating, for example, Sn for injection into the existing heavy-ion linac ATLAS is discussed. The injector linac is intended for radioactive beam applications, and will accelerate a low-charge-state beam to energies of 500 keV/nucleon, at which point the ions can be stripped to charge states sufficiently high to be injected into ATL...
متن کاملMultiple-Charge Beam Dynamics in an Ion Linac*
There is demand for the construction of a mediumenergy ion linear accelerator based on superconducting rf (SRF) technology. It must be capable of producing several hundred kilowatts of CW beams ranging from protons to uranium. A considerable amount of power is required in order to generate intense beams of rare isotopes for subsequent acceleration. At present, however, the beam power available ...
متن کاملDesign of a Post Accelerator for the Rare Isotope Accelerator Facility*
The proposed Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) Facility includes a post-accelerator for rare isotopes (RIB linac) which must produce high-quality beams of radioactive ions over the full mass range, including uranium, at energies above the coulomb barrier, and with high transmission and efficiency. The latter requires the RIB linac to accept at injection ions in the 1+ charge state. A concept for s...
