This paper describes a low level radio frequency control system that was developed by the Institute of Modern Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences, and will be used in Injector of the China-ADS project.

Particle-in-cell mode beam dynamics simulation of the low energy beam transport for the SSC-linac injector

A new SSC-linac system (injector into separated sector cyclotron) is being designed in the HIRFL (heavy ion research facility of Lanzhou). As part of SSC-Linac, the LEBT (low energy beam transport) consists of seven solenoids, four quadrupoles, a bending magnet and an extra multi-harmonic buncher. The total length of this segment is about 7 meters. The beam dynamics in this LEBT has been studied using three-dimensional PIC (particle-in-cell) code BEAMPATH. The simulation results show that the continuous beam from the ion source is first well analyzed by a charge-to-mass selection system, and the beam of the selected charge-to-mass ratio is then efficiently pre-bunched by a multi-harmonic buncher and optimally matched into the RFQ (radio frequency quadrupole) for further acceleration. The principles and effects of the solenoid collimation channel are discussed, and it could limit the beam emittance by changing the aperture size.

为了在癌症外科手术中提供实时反馈,更精确地切除癌症组织,从而在术中导航领域展现应用潜力,利用光学相干层析成像(OCT)系统对39例胃癌患者肿瘤组织成像,并与对应位置的病理切片进行对比。结果表明:有效的38个病例的OCT图像能清晰地分辨癌症组织与正常组织的差别,其中有4例黏液型胃癌,黏液型胃癌的肿瘤分泌的黏液会破坏胃组织的层状结构,导致纹理紊乱,黏膜残缺;黏液对光的背向散射更弱以及与黏膜组织的背向散射对比相差更大使得黏液型胃癌的OCT图像成像更清晰,B型超声扫描(B-scan)的OCT图像能够分辨该种类型癌症的边界区域;将B-scan的OCT图像进行三维(3D)重建后显示整个成像区域的体结构,经过表面展平后提取深度方向上不同层的切面图像,提供了另一维度视角观察胃癌组织的边界区域,与B-scan图像交叉验证可以显示优异的区分效果。     

Numerical optimization and multi-particle dynamics simulation of the radial matching section of the RFQ

The ABC code is an optimization program for the development of matching channels and dynamical matchers in radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) structures, and a new approach to this code to define the geometry of the radial matching section of the RFQ has been developed. This approach is based on the application of the numerical optimization step by step. This optimization is intended to search for the initial matching condition of a beam, the optimization of parameters of a cell of the channel on given characteristic parameters and traces of a beam in linear channels in both forward and backward directions. To further verify the results of the optimization, multi-particle beam dynamics simulations have been carried out using the BEAMPATH and TRACK codes. The result of the beam dynamics simulation shows that the optimization result of the ABC code is reasonable and this approach provides an opportunity to redesign the structure of the radial matching section of the RFQ.     

Preliminary design and simulation of a 162.5 MHz high-intensity proton RFQ for an accelerator driven system

A new procedure for the design and simulation of a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator has been developed at the Argonne National Laboratory. This procedure is integrated with the beam dynamics design code DESRFQ and the simulation code TRACK, which are based on three-dimensional field calculations and the particle-in-cell mode beam dynamics simulations. This procedure has been applied to the development of a 162.5 MHz CW RFQ which is capable of delivering a 10 mA proton beam for the Accelerator Driven System (ADS) of the CAS. The simulation results show that this RFQ structure is characterized by the stable values of the beam acceleration efficiency for both the zero current beam and space charge dominated beam. For an average beam current of 10 mA, there is no transverse rms emittance growth, the longitudinal rms emittance at the exit of RFQ is low enough and there is no halo formation. The beam accelerated in the RFQ could be accepted easily and smoothly by the following super-conducting linear accelerator.

A 52 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole （RFQ） linear accelerator （linac） is designed to serve as an initial structure for the SSC-Linac system （injector into Separated Sector Cyclotron）.The designed injection and output energy are 3.5 keV/u and 143 keV/u,respectively.The beam dynamics in this RFQ have been studied using a three-dimensional Particle-In-Cell （PIC） code BEAMPATH.Simulation results show that this RFQ structure is characterized by stable values of beam transmission effciency （at least 95%） for both zerocurrent mode and the space charge dominated regime.The beam accelerated in the RFQ has good quality in both transverse and longitudinal directions,and could easily be accepted by Drift Tube Linac （DTL）.The effect of the vane error and that of the space charge on the beam parameters have been studied as well to define the engineering tolerance for RFQ vane machining and alignment.
