超重核的真空衰变对于验证量子电动力学至关重要,由于过去的固定靶实验中,核外电子干扰正负电子对的测量,国际上尚未观测到该现象。提出基于HIAF SRing的并束实验方案,通过238U92+在自由空间碰撞,排除了核外电子的影响。根据亮度理论,结合对交叉角度、Laslett频移和束束相互作用的分析,优化得到1.9×1024 cm-2s-1的峰值亮度,基本满足了实验需求。Vacuum decay phenomenon of superheavy nucleus is a problem of fundamental interest to verify quantum electrodynamics. As the shell electrons interfere the detection of electron-positron pairs in the fixed target experiments in the past, it's still not corroborated. A new merging experiment scheme is proposed in this paper. The interference of shell electrons is eliminated by collisions of 238U92+ in free space. According to the luminosity theory and the analyses of crossing angle, Laslett tune shift and beam-beam interaction, an optimized peak luminosity of 1.9×1024 cm -2·s -1 is achieved. It meets the requirements of merging experiment essentially.

采用多粒子跟踪程序BEAMPATH 对SSC-LINAC 重离子RFQ 直线加速器进行动力学模拟,分别对RFQ 的接受度、高频特性、束流稳定性、空间电荷效应等进行了分析。该RFQ具有很大的纵向接受度,有利于束流在RFQ中的传输;高频特性研究表明,翼间电压设定在理论值以上时,该RFQ都能保持较好的束流特性;束流稳定性分析结果表明,该RFQ具有很大的束流失配容忍度;空间电荷效应研究表明,当束流强度低于0.5 mA时,束流传输不受影响。综合研究结果表明,53.667 MHz重离子RFQ具有较好的动力学特性,满足SSC-LINAC直线加速器的设计要求。The RFQ beam dynamics of a heavy ion linac was investigated in this paper and the BEAMPATH code was employed in this study. The main research was focused on the beam performances depending on longitudinal acceptance, RF properties, beam instability and space charge effect. The RFQ has large longitudinal acceptance in design, which brings the beam performances well. In the RF parameter study, the beam can keep good transmission in the acceleration even the vane voltage is larger than the theoretical value. It is also shown that the RFQ has a large robustness for the mismatch of the input beam by the analysis of the beam instability.Furthermore, the beam evolution is independent on the space charge effect when the beam current is less than 0.5 emA. The preliminary analysis of the beam dynamics shows that the 53.667 MHz heavy ion RFQ has a promising performance, which meets the requirements of SSC-LINAC.

HIAF-SRing的等时性模式光学设计

高精度环形谱仪SRing作为HIAF装置的核心之一,是获取高品质放射性次级束,并将束流用于加速器技术研究、原子物理及核物理实验的关键设备。SRing有三种运行模式:等时性模式、正常模式与内靶模式。等时性模式下,SRing运行在特殊线性光学设置下,可以精确测量寿命低至几十微秒的原子核的质量。介绍SRing等时性模式的线性光学及高阶项校正的设计方案。在使用程序GICOSY进行等时性高阶项校正数值计算后,将得到的光学传输矩阵输入到程序MOCADI进行粒子跟踪模拟。以γ_t=1.43的等时性模式为例,SRing的动量接收度为±0.20%,粒子跟踪结果显示,在仅满足一阶等时性条件时SRing的质量分辨能力R=1.6×104。在保证动量接收度不变的前提下,考虑了等时性高阶项校正后SRing的质量分辨能力提高到R=1.2×106,达到设计要求。The Spectrometer Ring, as the most important experiment terminal of the High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) project, is a key device to obtain high-quality radioactive ion beams (RIBs) for atomic physics, nuclear physics experiments and accelerator technology researches. Three operation modes including the isochronous mode, the normal mode and the internal target mode, have been designed for the SRing. In the isochronous mode, the SRing operates under a special ion optics and could be used for precision mass measurement of short-lived nuclei with half-life shorter than several tens of microseconds. This study aims to design the ion optics for the isochronous mode and improve the mass resolving power of the SRing with higher-order ion-optical correction scheme for isochronism while preserve a large momentum acceptance of SRing. The ion optics and the higher-order correction for the isochronous mode are calculated with the code MAD-X and GICOSY respectively. Three ion optics with γ_t=1.43, 1.67, 1.83 settings have been calculated. The code MCOADI which utilizes the matrixes generated by the code GICOSY is used for particles tracking to verify the correction results. For the ion-optical setting of γ_t=1.43 with a momentum acceptance of ±0.20%, the mass resolving power of the SRing could be improved from R=1.6×104 to R=1.2×106, after isochronous higher-order corrections.     

CSR-LINAC IH-RFQ的高频电磁设计

中国科学院近代物理研究所在CSR-LINAC项目中设计了一台108.48 MHz的IH型RFQ直线加速器。该RFQ可以将质荷比为3~7的离子从4 keV/u加速到300 keV/u。在完成束流动力学设计的基础上,主要针对RFQ腔体的高频电磁设计展开了研究,同时利用了电磁场仿真和束流动力学模拟来研究腔体的四极场不平整度和二极场及其动力学影响。未经调谐的情况下,腔体的谐振频率为108.15 MHz,腔体空载品质因子Q₀为5 910,腔体功耗为123 kW。通过在支撑板两端增加底切的设计,将腔体的四极场不平整度由-21%~ 12%优化至±2.5%,满足了束流动力学要求。腔体的二极场为-3%~ -2.2%,使得束流在垂直方向小幅振荡,RFQ的垂直方向接受度减小5%。为了保证功率馈入时反射较小,将耦合器设置在临界耦合状态,耦合面积为940 mm2。为了补偿腔体的频率偏差和漂移,设计了调谐量分别为707和132 kHz的固定调谐器和可动调谐器。The 108.48 MHz IH type RFQ for CSR-LINAC project is under design at Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This RFQ can accelerate heavy ions with mass to charge ratio of 3~7 from 4 keV/u to 300 keV/u. According to the beam dynamics requirement, the RF structure design has been finished. The quadrupole field unflatness and dipole field of the cavity were studied by electromagnetic simulation and beam dynamics simulation. The frequency of the cavity without tuning is 108.15 MHz, the Q₀ of the cavity is 5910, and the RF power loss is 123 kW. The quadrupole field unflatness of ±2.5%,which was -21%~12% before optimizing, is achieved to meet dynamics requirement through the undercuts in cavity supporters. The dipole field of -3%~ -2.2% causes the oscillation of the beam center and acceptance reduction of 5%. The power coupler must be in critical coupling state with the coupling area of 940 mm2 for minimum reflection coefficient. The tuners, consist of coarse and fine tuners with frequency shift of 707 and 132 kHz respectively, is used for tuning of frequency deviation of the cavity.     

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.

The C-type dipole prototypes in the injection beam line from a Separate Sector Cyclotron (SSC) to Cooling Storage Ring (CSR) are selected as R & D for CSR magnets fabrication, because they have large bending angle and small radius, and are very difficult to stack and fabricate.
