HIAF-BRing中极化质子加速研究

为了更深入地研究核子性质,中国科学院近代物理研究所将在强流重离子加速器装置（HIAF）上利用极化质子束开展实验。HIAF增强器BRing能够提供最大能量9.3 GeV/u的极化质子束,在加速过程中极化束流会遇到多次退极化共振,需要特殊设计才能使束流保持较高的极化度。利用退极化共振强度模拟程序DEPOL,研究了BRing加速过程中不同退极化共振对束流极化度的影响。结果表明,加速过程遇到的两种退极化共振将会使束流完全退极化;在BRing电子冷却段加入Full Siberian Snake可以使质子束在加速时保持较高的极化度。In order to explore the nucleon properties in details, the polarized proton will be used for some special experiments at HIAF project in Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMP,CAS). The maximum energy of 9.3 GeV/u for Polarized protons will be provided in the Booster Ring(BRing) at HIAF. The polarized beam experiences depolarizing resonances many times during acceleration process, so it's necessary to suppress those resonances to keep polarizability well by special design. In this paper, the code DEPOL is used to simulate the influence of depolarizing resonances process in BRing. According to the results, the beam's polarization has been destroyed completely by the depolarizing resonances in the acceleration process. And the Full Siberian Snake is chosen in the Electron Cooler part of BRing to preserve the beam's polarization during the acceleration, and its strength and location of the Siberian Snake are also presented here.     

HIAF BRing及高能外靶实验终端的辐射屏蔽设计

强流重离子加速器（HIAF）是中国科学院近代物理研究所自主研制的一台高能强流重离子加速器,它可以实现p到U的全离子加速。为了保证HIAF运行时的辐射安全,针对该装置的增强器（BRing）及高能外靶实验终端,利用蒙特卡洛程序FLUKA及外推法计算得到了加速p,C及U三种离子时所需的辐射屏蔽。结果表明,加速质子时所需屏蔽厚度最大,并以此为依据给出了全地下结构的屏蔽设计。在此基础上,提出了一种估算高能质子/重离子加速器束流均匀损失时横向屏蔽厚度的方法。结果显示,估算结果与FLUKA计算结果符合较好,验证了该方法的有效性和准确性。High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) is designed by the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which can accelerate particles from proton up to uranium. To guarantee the radiation safety of HIAF during operation, the FLUKA code and extrapolation method were adopted to calculate the shielding thickness. The calculations were based on proton, carbon and uranium particles when losing on the Booster Ring (BRing) and the high-energy experimental terminal. The results indicate that the shielding thickness required for accelerating protons was the largest. Basing on the results, a method for estimating the lateral shielding of a high-energy proton/heavy-ion accelerator was proposed. A good agreement shows between the estimated results and the FLUKA calculated results, the validity and accuracy of the method were verified.     

关于在HIAF-BRing上开展自旋物理研究的提议(英文)

国家重大科技基础设施"强流重离子加速器装置"（High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility,HIAF）已由国家发改委批准立项并开始建设。建成之后,HIAF将为微观物质结构和重离子应用等研究提供很好的实验平台。HIAF的加速储存环（Booster Ring,BRing）设计可以加速最高动量为11.9 GeV/c的高流强质子束流。因此,HIAF-BRing将为GeV能区的核物理和强子物理研究带来新的机遇。另一方面,极化实验是研究微观物质及其相互作用的有力工具。我们提议启动相关物理和极化技术的预研工作,为在HIAF-BRing上开展自旋物理研究打下基础。The construction of the future scientific facility High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) in China has started. Once established, HIAF will provide excellent conditions for fundamental investigations on both matter structure and heavy-ion applications. The booster ring (BRing) of HIAF is designed to accelerate high-intensity protons with the maximum momentum of 11.9 GeV/c. Therefore it will bring new opportunities for the nuclear and hadron physics in the GeV region. Polarized experiments have been proved as a powerful tool in the explorations of the building blocks of matter. We propose to initiate a pre-investigation for the related physics and polarization techniques, which will lay the foundation of the spin physics at the HIAF-BRing.     

HIRFL-CSR实验环中束流损失机制及寿命研究

分析了在储存环中回旋的离子束与残余气体分子、 内靶和冷却电子束相互作用时的损失机制及相应的束流寿命, 针对兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环实验环内靶模式, 计算了50—500 MeV/u 12C6+, 36Ar18+, 132Xe54+和 238U92+等束流在各种损失机制影响下所对应的束流寿命和总的束流寿命。 结果表明: 影响束流寿命的主要因素是与内靶分子（原子）之间的电荷交换及与冷却电子束之间的辐射复合; 对于重离子束 132Xe54+和 238U92+, 与冷却电子束之间的辐射复合是影响其储存寿命的主要因素。The loss mechanism and lifetime of ion beams in collisions with residual gas, internal target and electrons in e cooler in heavy ion cooler storage rings were studied. The partial beam lifetimes resulting from various loss mechanisms and the total beam lifetimes of 50—500 MeV/u12C6+, 36Ar18+, 132Xe54+ and 238U92+ stored in the experimental ring of the Cooler Storage Ring at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL CSR) were calculated. The calculations indicate that the charge exchange process between ion beams and the internal target, as well as the radiative recombination process with the electrons in e cooler restrict the beam lifetime considerably. For heavy ion beams such as 132Xe54+ and 238U92+, the radiative recombination is the dominant loss mechanism     

HIAF-BRing的双向涂抹注入模拟

BRing是HIAF工程的主加速器,其设计流强为每个脉冲内的粒子数1×1011个（238U34+）,为了达到此设计流强,注入增益应达到88倍以上。BRing采用了双向涂抹注入方案,其满足BRing的注入增益要求,同时具有注入时间短和累计束分布较均匀而减小了空间电荷效应的特点。双向涂抹注入方案利用水平和垂直两组凸轨磁铁以及倾斜的静电偏转板,在水平相空间和垂直相空间内同时进行涂抹。为了检验双向涂抹注入方案能否达到BRing的设计要求,利用ORBIT程序对双向涂抹注入过程进行了模拟,模拟结果显示,在单次双向涂抹注入113圈的情况下,注入效率为97.7%,注入增益达到110.3倍,满足了BRing流强要求。累积束的分布相对均匀,空间电荷效应引起的工作点漂移约为-0.02,粒子因共振损失风险很小。针对注入束流偏角、切割板角度、工作点偏差和Bump延时等不同注入参数进行了误差分析,结果显示BRing的双向涂抹注入效率对注入参数偏差的容忍度较高。BRing is the main accelerator of High Intensity heavy Ion Accelerator Facility(HIAF) and its design current is 1×1011 particles per pulse (238U34+). To accumulate beams up to the design current, the injection gain has to reach 88. Two planes painting injection scheme is proposed for BRing. This scheme uses a tilted electrostatic septum and 8 bump magnets to paint beams into horizontal and vertical phase space simultaneously. It can inject enough beams into the ring in a short time and paint beams uniformly. The injection process is simulated using ORBIT code and 113 turns is injected into BRing with an injection efficiency of 97.7% which meets the requirement for beam current of BRing. The accumulated beams are distributed uniformly in transverse and hence have a little tune shift of -0.02 which reduces the risk of beam loss due to the resonance. Errors of injection parameters are analysed and the result shows two planes painting injection scheme has a high tolerance for errors of injection parameters.     

放射性次级束流分离器真空系统的压力分布

放射性次级束流分离器是强流重离子加速器装置中,连接增强器和高精度环形谱仪的束流输运线,用于传输重离子束流以及放射性次级束流。为了满足束流传输的要求,并维持相连增强器和高精度环形谱仪的极高真空,放射性次级束流分离器真空系统的平均压强应低于5×10-7 Pa。因此,需要验证真空系统设计方案的可行性,以及设计方案能否满足要求的压强范围。通过现有的同步储存环CSRm中的真空计监测数据以及软件BOLIDE的模拟结果对比,对真空压力计算软件VAKTRAK的使用方法和计算结果进行验证;采用VAKTRAK模拟计算不同真空参数下（流导、出气率以及泵速）放射性次级束流分离器真空系统的压力分布。根据计算结果,放射性次级束流分离器真空系统的平均压强可以达到1.79×10-7 Pa （H₂）,满足物理实验和工程设计的要求。通过模拟计算结果,放射性次级束流分离器真空系统的设计方案的可行性得到验证,系统设计的真空度满足要求。HIAF Fragment Separator(HFRS) is connected with Booster Ring(BRing) and Spectrometer Ring (SRing) in the HIAF and used to transfer the ion beams and radioactive secondary beams. To satisfy the requirements of beam transmission and maintain the extremely high vacuum of BRing and SRing, the average pressure of HFRS vacuum system should be lower than 5×10-7 Pa. Therefore, the feasibility of the design scheme and whether the design scheme would fulfill the required vacuum range or not should be verified. Based on the measured data on the current sychrontron CSRm and the simulation results of BOLIDE, the calculation results of VAKTRAK are verified and then VAKTRAK is used to calculate the pressure profiles of different parameters(such as the conductance, out-gassing and pumping speed) for HFRS. According to the calculation results, the average pressure of HFRS vacuum system could be 1.79×10-7(H₂) which achieves the required pressure for physics experiments and engineering design. According the calculation results of this paper, the feasibility of the designed HFRS vacuum system has been verified and the design of system satisfies the vacuum requirements.     

HIAF-CRing 中的俘获加速效率研究(英文)

以HIAF-CRing上典型离子238U34+为研究对象,对其纵向俘获和加速的动力学过程进行了研究。累积后的粒子能量为800 MeV/u, 经过绝热俘获和加速后,粒子被加速至1 130 MeV/u。研究结果表明,通过选择适当的俘获时间、绝热参数以及相空间面积因子等参数,应用优化后的高频俘获加速曲线,可以获得更高的俘获和加速效率。通过粒子纵向动力学追踪软件ESME 上进行模拟,得到了优化后的高频相位、高频电压曲线,使得俘获效率达到99.3%,加速效率近乎100%。同时确定出了CRing 高频腔加速U34+ 所需满足的特性参数,即电压需达到40 kV,频率范围是0:31s0:34 MHz。To reduce the beam loss during the capture and acceleration processes of CRing in HIAF project, the longitudinal beam motion is investigated using the typical ion of 238U34+during the two processes mentioned above. The ions will be captured adiabatically firstly and then will be accelerated from 800 to 1130 MeV/u with a high efficiency using optimized RF voltage and RF phase program. After that the bunched beam will be debunched for the later beam compression. Simulation of these processes by tracking appropriate distributions with the longitudinal beam dynamics code ESME has been used tofind optimum parameters such as RF phase, RF voltage. The variation of the parameter during the RF cycle and the character parameters of the RF cavity are presented.      

ADS注入器II的5 MeV高能传输线的设计与搭建

ADS先导专项的注入器Ⅱ计划在将质子束通过一个Cryomodule加速到5 MeV后,进行10 mA连续束流的调试,以验证ADS低能段的强流超导直线加速器技术。为了将50 kW的束流功率沉积到束流垃圾站,需要搭建一条高能束流传输线,从超导段开始传输束流。采用两套三组合四极透镜控制束流包络及垃圾站的束流尺寸,利用诊断真空室进行水平和垂直发射度的测量。为避免束流产生的真空管道损伤,该传输线必须确保束流无损失地传输到垃圾站。A CW 10 mA,5 MeV beam commissioning of CADS Injector Ⅱ is planed recently to test the high power superconduction linac techniques.To transport 50 kW beam from linac to the beam dump,a high energy beam line (HEBT) line is designed and setup.Two Triplet are used to control the beam size along HEBT and at the beam dump.One diagnostics box is used for horizontal and vertical emittance measurement.To avoid damages to the vacuum pipe,beam should be transported to the beam dump without losses.The details of the HEBT design will be described in the paper.     

金刚石探测器用于C-ADS注入器Ⅱ束损探测的模拟研究

加速器驱动次临界系统C-ADS 注入器Ⅱ采用强流超导质子直线加速器,设计流强达到10 mA。强流质子束产生的束流损失有可能损伤超导腔,需要专用的束流损失监测系统进行监测,束流损失探测器(BLM) 需要在高能量沉积导致超导腔失超之前提供警报。通过MCNPX 模拟计算10 MeV 质子在半波谐振腔(HWR)不同位置损失产生的辐射场,比较选取超导腔管道进出口处4 个位置为推荐束损探测器放置的位置,结合HWR腔结构和束损探测器选择的影响因素,计算了次级辐射在金刚石探测器中的能量沉积以及1° ~ 5°不同质子入射角度对探测的影响。结果表明,根据不同位置处探测器的能量沉积关系可以推断出束损点;不同入射角度不会影响生成粒子的能量分布,只轻微影响生成粒子的数目。The Chinese Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (C-ADS) injector II consists of super-conduction accelerating section which is half wave resonator (HWR), the designed beam intensity is 10 mA. To avoid the damage to the resonator due to proton beam loss, special Beam Loss Monitor (BLM) system is essential. BLM system could provide alarm signal when high energy deposition occurs which may cause the resonator quenching. Radiation field of 10 MeV proton lost at different point of the HWR are simulated with MCNPX, BLM could be set at proper positions based on the simulation. Considering the structure of HWR and the BLM detector selecting influence factor, radiation energy deposition in the diamond detector are simulated with MCNPX when the proton incidence angle change from 1°  5°, Possible beam loss point can be deduced from the relationship of energy deposition in detectors at different locations. The results indicate that energy spectra of secondary particles are independent with incidence angle; the number of secondary particles may be influenced slightly.     

HIAF-BRing束团合并过程中的束流负载效应模拟

强流重离子加速器HIAF-BRing在加速完成后进行束团合并，为研究BRing中的束流负载效应对束团合并的影响，对238U35+束流进行了粒子跟踪模拟。模拟结果显示，在束团合并过程中，束流负载效应引起束团长度和束团中心位置的振荡，导致束流动量分散和束团长度的增长。束团合并过程中尾场电压以及不同束团间尾场的耦合导致的势阱畸变，是引起束团长度和束团中心振荡及束流发射度增长的原因。为了降低束流负载效应的影响，采用多谐波前馈系统进行补偿，达到了补偿束团合并过程中的束流负载效应的目的，从而确保了BRing中引出束流的品质，同时根据模拟结果确定了前馈系统需要覆盖的频率范围和需要补偿的最大尾场电压。

Process in high energy heavy ion acceleration

A review of processes that occur in high energy heavy ion acceleration by synchrotrons and colliders and that are essential for the accelerator performance is presented. Interactions of ions with the residual gas molecules/atoms and with stripping foils that deliberately intercept the ion trajectories are described in details. These interactions limit both the beam intensity and the beam quality. The processes of electron loss and capture lie at the root of heavy ion charge exchange injection. The review pays special attention to the ion induced vacuum pressure instability which is one of the main factors limiting the beam intensity. The intrabeam scattering phenomena which restricts the average luminosity of ion colliders is discussed. Some processes in nuclear interactions of ultra-relativistic heavy ions that could be dangerous for the performance of ion colliders are represented in the last chapter. The text was submitted by the author in English.     

Heavy-ion-induced electronic desorption of gas from metals

During heavy-ion operation in several particle accelerators worldwide, dynamic pressure rises of orders of magnitude were triggered by lost beam ions that bombarded the vacuum chamber walls. This ion-induced molecular desorption, observed at CERN, GSI, and BNL, can seriously limit the ion beam lifetime and intensity of the accelerator. From dedicated test stand experiments we have discovered that heavy-ion-induced gas desorption scales with the electronic energy loss (dE_{e}/dx) of the ions slowing down in matter; but it varies only little with the ion impact angle, unlike electronic sputtering.     

RIKEN 18GHzECR离子源上金属离子的产生

At RIKEN,three ECR ion sources(10GHz ECRIS,18GHz ECRIS and liquid He-free SC-ECRIS) are operated as external ion sources of heavy ion accelerators.In the last year,multi-charged uranium ion beam was produced from 18GHz ECRIS by using UF_6 and the ~(238)U ion was successfully accelerated by the accelerator complex which consists of the RFQ linear accelerator,RIKEN heavy ion linear accelerator(RILAC)and RIKEN ring cyclotron accelerator(RRC).The typical beam intensity of~(238)U~(14 ) was about 2pμA on faraday cup after analysing magnet.~(70)Zn beam was still supplied for the new super-heavy element search experiment with insertion method.Intense beam of~(70)Zn~(16 ) was produced for long term(～43 days)without vacuum break and remarkably low material consumption rate(～100μgr/h).We already supplied Zn beam longer than 200 days for this experiment.~(48)Ca ion was also produced by insertion method using~(48)CaO rod for the nuclear physics experiment.In this contribution,we will present ion source parameter and techniques for production of each of the metal ions.     

A massive-ion beam driver for high-energy-density physics and future inertial fusion

Several heavy ion drivers for heavy ion inertial fusion have been proposed in the US and Europe, based on linear induction accelerator technology [1] and existing RF technology [2], respectively, although they have not been realized on a large scale. Developing accelerator technology may provide an alternative efficient, robust, and relatively cheap massive-ion beam driver for future particle beam inertial fusion. Here, we propose an accelerator complex for accelerating giant cluster ions, instead of lead or bismuth ions, toward 120 GeV by using induction acceleration over the entire energy region. The proposed two-way multiplex induction synchrotron that is the main accelerator for the giant cluster ion beam would be equivalent to 10 synchrotrons of the same size for a single beam.

北京大学1.7 MV串列静电加速器的离子注入/辐照实验系统

北京大学1.7 MV串列静电加速器运行至今已有三十多年。该加速器配备有高频电荷交换负离子源和铯溅射负离子源,能够引出从H到 Au之间 的大部分元素的离子。离子能量可被加速至几百keV到若干MeV,主要开展离子注入/辐照实验和卢瑟福背散射(RBS)和沟道分析等离子束分析工作。基于辐照实验需求,建立了高温辐照系统,温度最高可达950 ℃。为了实现更加精确的离子注入,设计了直接式与间接式两种法拉第杯结构,使束流扫描面积精确控制,并且在测量束流强度时除了抑制次级电子,还考虑到了次级正离子的影响。利用不同能量的Au离子在单晶Si片上进行了注入实验,通过RBS分析显示测量剂量与期望剂量误差在4%以内,此外,注入均匀性的测试表明注入剂量的相对标准偏差为2%。     

Ein ionenoptisches System zur Dämpfung transversaler Schwingungen in Strahlen schwerer Ionen

An ion-optical system of new type capable to reduce the divergency of heavy ion beams is proposed. The action of this system is based on the difference of mean charge of heavy ions in gas and in condensed matter. The beam is split into two parts of different mean charge and merged by unification of the mean charge alternately by local application of the different charge exchange media. Considering the beam to be bound to an axis by a series of identical coaxial lenses the ions will oscillate around the axis. Since one part of the beam remains unaffected by charge exchange processes on the average the particles of the other part are forced to increase their charges at positions near to the center line and to reduce their charges at positions of maximum elongation. This process will absorb oscillation energy from the beam. Also, the coordinates of the particles of the second part of the beam move differently in phase space while the particles are in higher charge states: the coordinates are shifted into the phase space domain occupied by the coordinates of the particles of the first part of the beam thus yielding an overall reduction of beam divergency.
