Full Discharges In Fermilab’s Electron Cooler
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fermilab’s 4.3 MeV electron cooler is based on an electrostatic accelerator, which generates a DC electron beam in an energy recovery mode. Effective cooling of the antiprotons in the Recycler requires that the beam remains stable for hours. While short beam interruptions do not deteriorate the performance of the Recycler ring, the beam may provoke full discharges in the accelerator, which significantly affect the duty factor of the machine as well as the reliability of various components. Although cooling of 8 GeV antiprotons has been successfully achieved, full discharges still occur in the current setup. The paper describes factors leading to full discharges and ways to prevent them.

Penning-dominated capacitive discharges
Atmospheric pressure radio-frequency (rf) capacitive micro-discharges are of interest due to emerging applications, especially in the bio-medical field. A previous global model did not consider high-power phenomena such as sheath multiplication, thus limiting its applicability to the lower power range. To overcome this, we use one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of atmospheric He...
متن کاملCorrosion Failure Study in an Oil Cooler Heat Exchanger in Marine Diesel Engine
In this article, the failure of a heat exchanger during its operation in the marine environment has been analyzed. This heat exchanger was used for cooling the oil in a marine diesel engine. Based on the existing failure history, damages in engine components were observed after 89 hours of engine working due to the leakage of the sea water to the oil. For the objective of the failure analysis, ...

متن کاملGeneration of Femtosecond Bunch Trains Using a Longitudinal-to-transverse Phase Space Exchange Technique
We demonstrate analytically and via numerical simulations, how a longitudinal-to-transverse phase space manipulation can be used to produce a train of femtosecond electron bunches. The technique uses an incoming transversely-modulated electron beam obtained via destructive (e.g. using a multislits mask) methods. A transverse-to-longitudinal exchanger is used to map this transverse modulation in...
متن کاملFermilab Electron Cooling Project: Commissioning of the 5 Mev Recirculation Test Set-up
An important part of the Fermilab’s Recycler Electron Cooling (REC) project [1] is a recirculation test which is performed using a 5-MV electrostatic accelerator, a Pelletron, with two tubes and a simplified beam line with one 180-degree bend. The main goal of the test is to demonstrate stable operation of a 4.4-MeV, 0.5-A DC electron beam. The paper describes the set-up and the early experimen...
