用于激光驱动质子束测量的腔式束流位置探测器模拟研究

根据激光驱动质子束流低发射度、短脉冲、单束团低电量的性质，研究腔式束流位置探测器(BPM)测量激光加速器产生的质子束团横向位置的可行性问题。针对质子束团的大横向分布和发散角问题，推导了其通过腔式BPM的输出信号，结果表明该信号与集中从束团对称中心、倾斜一定角度通过的束流产生的输出信号相同。依据上述原理，使用CST软件进行了腔式BPM的设计和仿真，确定了矩形谐振腔波导耦合的方案。讨论了该方案的腔式BPM对于激光加速束流的适用性和不同激光驱动质子束流参数的分辨率，并针对PW级激光加速系统进行了分辨率估算。     

Beam dynamics and RF design of trapezoidal IH-RFQ with low energy spread

Beam dynamics and RF design have been performed of a new type trapezoidal IH-RFQ operating at 104 MHz for acceleration of 14C+ in the framework of RFQ based 14C AMS facility at Peking University. Low energy spread RFQ beam dynamics design was approached by the method of internal discrete bunching. 14C+ will be accelerated from 40 keV to 500 keV with the length of about 1.1 m. The designed transmission efficiency is better than 95% and the energy spread is as low as 0.6%. Combining the beam dynamics design, a trapezoidal IH-RFQ structure was proposed, which can be cooled more easily and has better mechanical performance than traditional RFQ. Electromagnetic field distribution was simulated by using CST Microwave Studio (MWS). The specific shunt impedance and the quality factor were optimized primarily.     

Discharge characteristics of the DUHOCAMIS with a high magnetic bottle-shaped field

For the purpose of producing high intensity, multiply charged metal ion beams, the dual hollow cathode ion source for metal ions (DUHOCAMIS) was derived from the hot cathode Penning ion source combined with the hollow cathode sputtering experiments in 2007. To investigate the behavior of this discharge geometry in a stronger magnetic bottle-shaped field, a new test bench for DUHOCAMIS with a high magnetic bottle-shaped field up to 0.6 T has been set up at the Peking University. The experiments with magnetic fields from 0.13 T to 0.52 T have indicated that the discharge behavior is very sensitive to the magnetic flux densities. The slope of discharge curves in a very wide range can be controlled by changing the magnetic field as well as regulated by adjusting the cathode heating power; the production of metallic ions would be much greater than gas ions with the increased magnetic flux density; and the magnetic field has a much higher influence on the DHCD mode than on the PIG mode.     

Experimental study of the plasma window

The plasma window is an advanced apparatus that can work as the interface between a vacuum and a high pressure region. It can be used in many applications that need atmosphere-vacuum interface, such as a gas target, electron beam welding, synchrotron radiation and a spallation neutron source. A test bench of the plasma window is constructed in Peking University. A series of experiments and the corresponding parameter measurements have been presented in this article. The experiment result indicates the feasibility of such a facility acting as an interface between a vacuum and a high pressure region.     

Preliminary design of a laser accelerator beam line

A compact laser plasma accelerator(CLAPA) is being built at Peking University, which is based on an RPA-PSA mechanism or other acceleration mechanisms. The beam produced by this laser accelerator has the characteristics of short duration, high pulse current, large divergence angle, and wide energy spectrum. The beam cannot be produced by a normal ion source and accelerator. The space charge field in the initial is very strong.According to the beam parameters from preparatory experiments and theoretical simulations, a compact beam line is preliminarily designed. The beam line mainly consists of common transport elements to deliver proton beam with the energy of 1–50 MeV, energy spread of 0–±1% and current of 0–108 proton per pulse to satisfy the requirement of different experiments. The simulation result of a 15 MeV proton beam with an energy spread of ±1%, current of 400 m A, and final spot radius of 9 mm is presented in this paper.

四杆型射频四极场加速器的极间电压调谐及测定北大核心CSCD

为了提高射频四极场加速器(RFQ)的束流传输效率,需要对纵向分布不均匀的极间电压进行补偿,并且准确测量束流实验中极间电压的绝对数值。考虑到极间电压分布不均匀是由于分布电容和端部效应造成的,而采用调谐块可以调节分布电感,通过电磁场数值模拟研究了调谐块对极间电压分布的影响,最终极间电压的平整度被调整到优于95%。在束流实验中,通过测量轫致辐射谱测定了极间电压的数值,通过束流动力学模拟研究了多能峰产生的原因,并最终标定了70kV极间电压对应的输入功率值284kW。
