Integrable RCS as a proposed replacement for Fermilab Booster
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrable optics is an innovation in particle accelerator design that potentially enables a greater betatron tune spread and damps collective instabilities. An integrable rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS) would be an effective replacement for the Fermilab Booster, as part of a plan to reach multi-MW beam power at 120 GeV for the Fermilab high-energy neutrino program. We provide an example integrable lattice with features of a modern RCS dispersion-free drifts, low momentum compaction factor, superperiodicity, chromaticity correction, bounded beta functions, and separate-function magnets.

In a four month study, a design for a Proton Driver was developed as a possible replacement for Fermilab’s Booster. Its optical properties are summarized briefly.
متن کاملDesign and Prototype Tests of a Large-aperture 37-53 Mhz Ferrite-tuned Booster Synchrotron Cavity
The Booster synchrotron at Fermilab employs eighteen 37–53 MHz ferrite-tuned double-gap coaxial radiofrequency cavities for acceleration of protons from 400 MeV to 8 GeV. The cavities have an aperture of 2.25 inches and operate at 55 kV per cavity. Future high duty factor operation of the Booster will be problematic due to unavoidable beam loss at the cavities resulting in excessive activation....
متن کاملSummary of the Fermilab Proton Driver Design Study*
This paper is a summary report of the Proton Driver design study that has recently been completed at Fermilab. It describes the design of a new 16 GeV high intensity rapid cycling synchrotron as a replacement of the present Booster. The major design goals are: (1) 1 MW beam power; (2) 1 ns (r.m.s.) bunch length. The construction will be staged. It has also an upgrade path to 4 MW.
متن کاملHigh Current Proton Tests of the Fermilab LINAC
The peak current limit for the Fermilab Linac was recently studied. The purpose was to learn what components of the present Linac can be used for the first stage of a proposed proton driver[1]. For this application the Linac must provide a H beam in excess of 5000 mAμsec per pulse. The original Fermilab Linac was designed for protons with a peak current of 75 mA and a pulse length of four Boost...
متن کاملFermilab Proton Accelerator Complex Status and Improvement Plans
Fermilab carries out an extensive program of accelerator-based high energy particle physics research at the Intensity Frontier that relies on the operation of 8 GeV and 120 GeV proton beamlines for a n umber of fixed target experiments. Routine operation with a world-record 700kW of average 120 GeV beam power on the neutrino target was achieved in 2017 as the result of the Proton Improvement Pl...
