Simulation of loss of uranium ions due to charge changing processes in the CSRm ring

Significant beam loss caused by the charge exchange processes and ion impact-induced outgassing may restrict the maximum number of accelerated heavy ions during the high intensity operation of an accelerator. In order to control beam loss due to charge exchange processes and confine the generated desorption gas, tracking of the beam loss distribution and installation of absorber blocks with low-desorption rate material at appropriate locations in the main Cooler Storage Ring (CSRm) at the Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou, will be performed. The loss simulation of uranium ions with electron-loss is presented in this report and the conclusion is that most charge changed particles are lost in the second dipole of the super-period structure. The calculation of the collimation efficiency of the CSRm ring will be continued in the future.     

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.      

重离子治癌装置4 MeV/u IH型漂移管直线注入器的动力学设计

基于KONUS束流动力学理论,完成了一台工作频率为162.5 MHz、占空比为1%的交叉指型漂移管直线注入器（IH-DTL）的动力学设计。该IH-DTL内置两套三组合四极透镜,共有41个加速单元,可为同步加速器提供流强400 eμA、能量4 MeV/u的C4+束流。在动力学设计过程中着重对每个加速间隙的同步能量偏差、注入相位和间隙电压等参数进行优化,使得该IH-DTL的横向归一化RMS接收度达到0.24 πmm·mrad,且横纵向归一化发射度增长小于10%,有利于提高同步环的注入效率。然后根据动力学设计的结构参数进行IH-DTL的高频仿真计算,将得到的三维电磁场分布导入PIC粒子跟踪程序中进行束流动力学模拟。动力学模拟结果显示,束流在IH-DTL出口的横向自然发射度小于13 πmm·mrad,达到了同步环的注入要求,而且在7%的垂直二极场分量下,束流中心的横向偏移在±0.5 mm以内,整体的束流传输效率高于99%。An interdigital H-mode drift tube linac (IH-DTL) with KONUS beam dynamic has been designed, which operation frequency was chosen 162.5 MHz. This IH-DTL consists of 41 accelerating cells and two quadrupole magnets triplets, can provide the C4+ with the current of 400 eμA and energy of 4 MeV/u for the synchrotron. In the beam dynamic design, the synchronous particle energy, inject RF phase and the acceleration voltage of each gap are optimized carefully to make the transverse normalized RMS acceptance of the IH-DTL to be 0.24 πmm·mrad and the beam emittance growth small than 10%. Then the RF structure was designed and the 3D electromagnetic field was imported into the PIC particle tracking code for the beam dynamic simulation. The transverse beam emittance at the exit of the IH-DTL is small than 13πmm·mrad which meets the injection requirement of the synchrotron. What is more, under the 7% vertical dipole fields component, the offset between the beam center and the drift tube's axis is ±0.5 mm at most. The transmission efficiency of the IH-DTL is higher than 99% for the whole beam in the acceptance.     

基于麦克风的气体超声分子束飞行速度的实验研究

超声分子束的膨胀和输运过程是一个较为复杂的分子动力学问题,相关的参数较难准确计算.本文基于麦克风测量方法研究了多种气体(H_2, D_2, N_2, Ar, He, CH_4)超声分子束在自由膨胀过程中的平均速度及其沿出射方向在远域空间(喷射距离/喷嘴直径310)的演变情况,获得了较大范围内分子束平均速度分布随气体种类、温度、气压和膨胀距离的变化规律.结果表明, H_2, D_2, He分子束的速度分别只占各自理论极限速度的54%, 60%和68%,且在远域空间速度下降较快.而CH_4, N_2和Ar分子束的速度与其各自的极限速度十分接近,占比分别为85%, 92%和99%,且在远域空间速度下降较缓.     

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.

基于双粒子方位角关联(2pAC)方法开展了费米能区⁶⁴Zn轰击⁵⁸Ni靶的重离子碰撞中横向流入射能量依赖的实验研究。利用考虑了单个事件中参考粒子对剩余体系反冲修正的改进的2pAC方法和已有的2pAC方法分别抽取了26,35和47MeV/u能量下⁶⁴Zn+⁵⁸Ni半中心碰撞的相对横向流强度,发现横向流的强度随入射能量增加而减弱的趋势与抽取横向流过程中是否考虑反冲修正无关,但考虑反冲修正时得到的横向流相对强度对比未考虑反冲修正时显著减小。通过线性拟合得到的相对横向流强度-入射能量关系,进一步获得了⁶⁴Zn+⁵⁸Ni半中心碰撞的平衡能分别为(110.1±5.8) MeV/u(改进的2pAC方法)和(128.0±5.6) MeV/u(已有的2pAC方法)。对比以往基于常规反应平面重建方法抽取得到的结果发现,基于改进的2pAC方法得到的结果与以往基于常规方法测得的平衡能-碰撞参数关系符合很好;相反,基于已有2pAC方法得到的结果被显著高估。对比结果证明了在利用2pA...

扫描电子显微镜通过电子束轰击样品产生的二次电子、背散射电子等实现对样品表面形貌的观测，通过对样品横断面的观测来获得薄膜厚度信息，但难以实现对薄膜表面形貌和厚度的同时观测。通过能谱仪研究各种厚度的薄膜同其激发的特征X射线计数率之间的关系，实现了通过特征X射线计数率来测量薄膜厚度的方法。对于激光吹气系统所需的钨薄膜而言，结果表明，计数率随薄膜厚度的增加先线性增加后趋于稳定，利用该曲线的直线部分作为刻度曲线，可实现对5～19μm范围内钨薄膜表面形貌和厚度的同时测量，精度约为10%,通过增加电子能量可实现对更厚样品的测量。该方法可推广到其他种类的薄膜研究，有助于推动薄膜物理研究的开展。
