Test Results of a Fast Beam Chopper with Ma Cores
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new type of fast beam chopper was developed and installed at the HIMAC facility. Test operations of the chopper have been carried out. The chopper is basically a periodic beam-energy transformer that performs 10% modulation of beams kinetic energy. The modulated fraction of the beam is chopped off by the downstream RFQ due to the relatively narrow injection energy window of the RFQ. Some of the recent test results with the chopper are presented. Measured chopped beams show sharp spikes at the pulse edges. Their origin is studied by numerical calculations. Another topic is the beam injection studies at the HIMACs main-ring with the use of the chopped beams.

Fast Chopper and 1 ns Bunch Compressor for Intense Proton Beams
High intense proton beams are needed for many projects [1, 2]. To develop LINACs operating at the 200 mA level is a quite challenging task. Therefore new techniques, concepts and simulation tools have to be carefully developed. Within ”Frankfurter Neutronen Quelle am SternGerlach-Zentrum” FRANZ, shown in Fig.1, a neutron flux will be created by a high intense proton beam hitting a Lithium 7 tar...
متن کاملDesign and Test of a Beam Transformer as a Chopper
This paper introduces a new type of chopper, which is similar to a beam transformer first discussed by R. Wideroe[1]. It is based on the fact that the RFQ has a rather small energy window. A pulsed beam transformer that provides 10% energy modulation to the beam in front of an RFQ can effectively chop the beam. It has fast riseand fall-time and a short physical length. A prototype, which consis...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Modeling of Fast Beam Chopper for Sns Project
High current and stringent restrictions on beam losses in the designed linac and storage ring for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) require clean and fast – with the rise time from 2% to 98% less than 2.5 ns – beam chopping in the linac front end, at the beam energy 2.5 MeV. The development of new traveling-wave deflecting current structures, based on meander lines, for the SNS fast chopper i...
متن کاملDetermination of the timing properties of the pulsed positron lifetime beam by the application of an electron gun and a fast microchannel plate
We show that the timing properties of a pulsed low-energy positron lifetime beam can be conveniently tested by an electron beam. We apply this method to study time resolution of the beam and electron scattering in a flat and a ’sawtooth’ shaped choppers. The results show that (i) time resolution of 160 ps is obtained, (ii) the scattering of the electrons and the secondary electron yield of the ...
