Mechanisms and Control of Beam Halo Formation in Intense Microwave Sources and Accelerators
نویسنده
چکیده
Halo formation and control in space-charge-dominated electron and ion beams are investigated in parameter regimes relevant to the development of high-power microwave (HPM) sources and highintensity electron and ion linear accelerators. In particular, a mechanism for electron beam halo formation is identified in high-power periodic permanent magnet (PPM) focusing klystron amplifiers. It is found in self-consistent simulations that large-amplitude current oscillations induce mismatched beam envelope oscillations and electron beam halo formation. Qualitative agreement is found between simulations and the 50 MW 11.4 GHz PPM focusing klystron experiment at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) [D. Sprehn, G. Caryotakis, E. Jongewaard, and R. M. Phillips, “Periodic permanent magnetic development for linear collider X-band klystrons,” Proc. XIX International Linac Conf. (Argonne National Laboratory Report ANL-98/28, 1998), p. 689.] Moreover, a new class of cold-fluid corkscrewing elliptic beam equilibria is discovered for ultrahigh-brightness, space-chargedominated electron or ion beam propagation through a linear focusing channel consisting of uniform solenoidal magnetic focusing fields, periodic solenoidal magnetic focusing fields, and/or alternatinggradient quadrupole magnetic focusing fields in an arbitrary arrangement including field tapering. As an important application of such new cold-fluid corkscrewing elliptic beam equilibria, a technique is developed and demonstrated for controlling of halo formation and beam hollowing in an rms-matched ultrahigh-brightness ion beam as it is injected from an axisymmetric Pierce diode into an alternatinggradient magnetic quadrupole focusing channel.

Beam Halo Studies for Ctf3
Beam halo can have severe effects on the performance of high energy accelerators. It reduces the experimental throughput, may lead to noise in the experiments, or even damage accelerator components. In order to understand and ideally control the formation and evolution of beam halo, detailed studies are required. In this contribution halo generation mechanisms and the underlying physical princi...
متن کاملIntense Beam Ion Sources Development at Imp *
To satisfy the HIRFL (Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou) accelerators’ requirement and the needs of several other future accelerator facilities, many high beam intensity ion sources have been developed at IMP. The ion sources include intense high charge state ion beam ECR ion sources and high intensity proton beam ECR or microwave sources. This paper will review the high charge state ion s...
متن کاملParticle-core Analysis of Beam Halos in a Synchrotron
A simple particle-core model for circular accelerators has been constructed assuming that dispersion effects are relatively weak. This model is applicable to a large class of high-intensity rings designed for modest density applications such as spallation neutron sources. Applying this model to isotropic beams in a smooth ring, halo formation processes in the presence of dispersion are investig...

High-power free electron lasers (FEL’s) can be realized using induction linear accelerators as the source of the electron beam. These accelerators are currently capable of producing intense cwrents (102-104 A) at moderately high energy (1-50 MeV). Experiments using a 500 A, 3.3 MeV beam have produced 80 MW of radiation at 34.6 GHz and are in good agreement with theoretical analysis. Future expe...
