The Maryland Electron Ring for Investigating Space-charge Dominated Beams in a Circular Fodo System∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER), currently under construction, has been designed to study the physics of space-charge dominated beams at extremely large values of the betatron tune shift which exceed those of existing strong-focusing synchrotrons and rings by more than an order of magnitude. In this paper, the unique design features of this research facility, the new beam physics to be investigated, and recent experimental results in the injector prototype as well as simulation studies will be reviewed.

Pic Code Simulations of Collective Effects in the Space- Charge-dominated Beam of the University of Maryland Electron Ring (umer)
Numerical simulation using particle-in-cell codes is a powerful tool in understanding the nonlinear dynamics of space-charge-dominated beams. The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) will explore the transport of beams with intensity previously inaccessible to circular machines. The ring will also function as a testbed for accelerator codes. Applications such as heavy ion fusion and coll...

The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER), designed for studies of space-charge dominated beam transport in a strong focusing lattice, is nearing completion. UMER models, for example, the recirculator machine envisioned as a possible driver for heavy-ion inertial fusion. The UMER lattice consists of 36 FODO periods distributed among 18, 20-bending sections containing two dipole magnets ea...

متن کاملInitial Studies of Longitudinal Dynamics on Umer*
The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is a small-scale experiment on space-charge dominated beams. The 100 ns, 10 keV electron beam fills up nearly one-half of the ring circumference. Here we review two models for the evolution of such beams, and present some initial results of measurements of longitudinal beam expansion for two initial line charge profiles.
