Design Consideration of 650-MHz Circular Electron-Positron Collider Klystron and Simulation of Its Beam Tester

We present the first phase RD for the 800 kW cw, 650 MHz klystron for the future circular electron-positron collider(CEPC) project in China. The CEPC requires 192 klystrons and it is desired to be designed in the Institute of High Energy Physics,CAS, and manufactured domestically. Therefore,we present the manufacturing schedule of this project; the three-stage development from the beam test tube to the klystron having a high efficiency structure. Design of the beam test tube that comprises electron gun and collector is presented. First, gun simulation having a modulating anode is performed using DGUN software. The uniform beam trajectories with a beam perveance of 0.64 μA/V~(3/2) are simulated. We employ a Ba-dispenser cathode of radius 35 mm with φ10 hole at the center and obtain a current density on cathode less than 0.45 A/cm~2. The beam trajectories are also simulated over beam test tube of length about 2 m with a magnetic field of 213 Gauss. Thermal analysis of the collector is performed using the ANSIS-CFX code and hence the cooling structure is determined. Mechanical design is almost carried out and it is in manufacturing stage.     

Commissioning of electron cooling in CSRe

Practical 2.45-GHz microwave-driven Cs-free Hˉ ion source developed at Peking University

A practical 2.45-GHz microwave-driven Cs-free Hˉ source was improved based on the experimental Hˉ source at Peking University(PKU). Several structural improvements were implemented to meet the practical requirements of Xi'an Proton Application Facility(XiPaf). Firstly, the plasma chamber size was optimized to enhance the plasma intensity and stability. Secondly, the filter magnetic field and electron deflecting magnetic field were enhanced to reduce co-extracted electrons. Thirdly, a new two-electrode extraction system with farther electrode gap and enhanced water cooling ability to diminish spark and sputter during beam extraction was applied. At last, the direct Hˉ current measuring method was adopted by the arrangement of a new pair of bending magnets before Faraday cup(FC) to remove residual electrons. With these improvements, electron cyclotron resonance(ECR) magnetic field optimization experiments and operation parameter variation experiments were carried out on the Hˉ ion source and a maximum 8.5-mA pure Hˉ beam was extracted at 50 kV with the time structure of 100 Hz/0.3 ms. The root-mean-square(RMS) emittance of the beam is 0.25 Π·mm·mrad. This improved Hˉ source and extraction system were maintenance-free for more than 200 hours in operation.     

Simulation and analysis of the transverse spectrum in HIRFL-CSR

Particles in a storage ring oscillate in the longitudinal and transverse dimensions. Therefore, the signal that beam has generated can be analyzed in the frequency domain to extract many beam parameters, such as tune, momentum spread, emittance and their evolution with time and so on. In this paper, the transverse spectrum in HIRFL-CSR was simulated and analyzed under different conditions, including electron cooling, hollow electron beam, solenoid effect, the tune shift caused by power supply ripple and the misalignment between ion and electron beams. The result of the simulation shows that the longitudinal magnetic field of the electron cooling device should be compensated by a “compensation solenoid”, and the power supply ripple must be controlled, otherwise the accumulation would be affected and the beam would be lost.     

Simulation of electron behavior in PIG ion source for 9 MeV cyclotron

In this paper, we focus on a PIG source for producing intense H-ions inside a 9 MeV cyclotron. The properties of the PIG ion source were simulated for a variety of electric field distributions and magnetic field strengths using a CST particle studio. After analyzing the secondary electron emission (SEE) as a function of both magnetic and electric field strengths, we found that for the modeled PIG geometry, a magnetic field strength of 0.2 T provided the best results in terms of the number of secondary electrons. Furthermore, at 0.2 T, the number of secondary electrons proved to be greatest regardless of the cathode potential. Also, the modified PIG ion source with quartz insulation tubes was tested in a KIRAMS-13 cyclotron by varying the gas flow rate and arc current, respectively. The capacity of the designed ion source was also demonstrated by producing plasma inside the constructed 9 MeV cyclotron. As a result, the ion source is verified as being capable of producing an intense H^- beam and high ion beam current for the desired 9 MeV cyclotron. The simulation results provide experimental constraints for optimizing the strength of the plasma and final ion beam current at a target inside a cyclotron.

Theoretical research on electron beam modulation in a field-emission cold cathode electron gun

In order to develop miniaturized and integrated electron vacuum devices, the electron beam modulation in a field- emission （FE） electron gun based on carbon nanotubes is researched. By feeding a high-frequency field between the cathode and the anode, the steady FE electron beam can be modulated in the electron gun. The optimal structure of the electron gun is discovered using 3D electromagnetism simulation software, and the FE electron gun is simulated by PIC simulation software. The results show that a broadband （74-114 GHz） modulation can be achieved by the electron gun with a rhombus channel, and the modulation amplitude of the beam current increases with the increases in the input power and the electrostatic field.

Start of Electron Cooling System for the NICA Booster

In order to achieve the required beam parameters in the NICA booster, the electron cooling system (ECS) was designed and manufactured at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP), Novosibirsk. In 2017, the system was shipped to JINR and its assembly and commissioning started. A specific feature of this system is that, for the first time ever, the electron cooling method with a magnetized e-beam is applied at the superconducting synchrotron; this imposes some additional requirements for the design and start of the ECS, operating at room temperature. This paper describes the main steps of the ECS assembly and start at the straight section of the booster, including mounting mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems (water, electricity, air, and oil system) and geodetic works on installing the system on site. The measured magnetic field homogeneity for the straight solenoid is given. The assembly of vacuum and magnet systems takes several steps because of the ECS design features. At the final assemblage stage of the vacuum system, the vacuum chamber is baked up and the bulk getters and the cathode of the electron gun are activated. Upon completing assembly and testing the high voltage system, the E-beam is conducted from the gun to the collector.     

Design of high-average-power near-millimeter free electron laseroscillators using short period wigglers and sheet electron beams

The design and feasibility of a 1-MW continuous-wave (CW) free electron laser (FEL) oscillator are reviewed. The proposed configuration includes a short-period (I_w~ 1 cm) planar wiggler, a sheet electron beam, a 0.5-1.0-MV thermionic electron gun, a hybrid waveguide/quasi-optical resonator, commercial DC power supplies, and a depressed collector. Cavity ohmic RF losses are estimated to be extremely low (⩽10-100 W/cm²) at 1/MW output power, while thermal heat transfer studies conservatively indicate that wall cooling up to 1500 W/cm² should be possible. Experiments have convincingly verified theory and simulations which predict that negligible body currents will be achievable with low-emittance low-space-charge sheet beams. High-voltage sheet beam gun design studies indicate that the required beam quality can be achieved with CW compatible devices. The spent beam energy distribution is consistent with highly efficient spent beam energy recovery, and the proposed resonator cavity should provide mode discrimination and beam/RF separation capability     

35-GHz 25-kW CW low-voltage third-harmonic gyrotron

A 50-kV third-harmonic gyrotron is shown to be capable of high efficiency. Operation at the third harmonic allows the required magnetic field for 35 GHz generation to be supplied by a 4.5-kG permanent magnet. Two gyrotrons employing sliced circuits for mode control have been evaluated with a large-signal nonself-consistent particle-tracing simulation code and found to be capable of producing 25 kW continuously. The preliminary design of a third-harmonic TE₄₁ gyrotron utilizing a magnetron injection electron gun is predicted to yield a device efficiency of 17%, which can potentially be increased to 46% with an ideal single-stage depressed collector, while an axis-encircling electron beam from a Cusp electron gun is predicted to drive a third-harmonic TE₃₁ gyrotron with a device efficiency of 23%, which can theoretically be increased to 45% through the use of an ideal depressed collector

Single-stage depressed collectors for gyrotrons

Two 140 GHz gyrotrons with a single-step depressed collector have been operated. The different position of the isolating collector gap in the stray magnetic field causes the electron motion in the retarding region to be in one case adiabatic and in the other case nonadiabatic. The kind of motion within the retarding field influences strongly the behavior of the gyrotron with a depressed collector. In the case of nonadiabatic motion a significant amount of transverse momentum is given to the electrons reflected at the collector potential. This causes the reflected electrons to be trapped between the magnetic mirror and the collector. The electrons escape from the trap by diffusion across the magnetic field to the body of the tube thus contributing to the body current. Despite the high body current there is no observable influence of the collector voltage on the RF output power. In the case of adiabatic motion the reflected electrons do not gain a sufficient amount of transverse momentum to be trapped by the magnetic mirror. They pass the cavity toward the gun and they are trapped between the negative gun potential and the collector. The interaction with the RF field by electrons traveling through the cavity enhances the diffusion in the velocity space thus enabling the trapped electrons to overcome the potential barrier and escape toward the collector. Therefore the body current stays at low values since in this case the reflected electrons do not contribute to it. However, at higher collector voltages a reduction of RF power occurred and some noise in the electron beam was observed

Electron Optic System of Powerful Large Orbit Gyrotron with Pulse Magnetic Field

Short-pulse powerful Large Orbit Gyrotron with total electron energy about 400 kV and beam power in the cavity up to 100 MW is now under developing at FIR FU. Suitable for 200 ns pulse duration electron-optic system is analyzed. Results of numerical simulation for explosion emission cusp-type electron guns and magnetic field intensity about 8 T are presented. Sensitivity of the guns to small deviations from the nominal operating regime is investigated. Some versions of the gun with different accelerating potential as well as different beam current passing through the cavity (60-300A) are suggested. Current reduction simplifies the problems of mode competition and potential depression in the cavity, but at the same time decrease output power. To diminish current special diaphragms are suggested. Results of numerical simulation of collector corresponding to each version of the gun design including power density distributions along its surface are presented. It is shown that beam quality and collector regimes are suitable for LOG operation.
