چکیده
The Beam Switchyard for the Stanford Linear Accelerator is a large Y-shaped area (see Fig. 1) containing, magnets, sl i ts , collimators, and instrumentation for beam observation. It has three main functions: (1) to momentum analyze the beam and determine energy spread a t the exit; (2) to transport the beam to the experiment under selected focusing conditions; and (3) to separate the interlaced beams coming from the accelerator.

In four years of operation at progressively increasing levels of average power new observations on the performance of slits, collimators, and beam dumps of various designs have been accumulated. The inherent longevity of high power beam absorbers based on low-Z or graded-Z design philosophy has been successfully demonstrated. Early operating experience at low power levels in the SLAC beam switc...
متن کاملBeam Switchyard Design and Operation
As previously discussed, the accelerator is capable of providing interlaced electron and/or positron beams at various pulse rates, currents, and energies. The beam switchyard (BSY) is designed to separate the various beams coming from the accelerator and deliver them to the appropriate experimenters' locations. A beam transport system consisting of pulsed and direct current magnets channels the...
