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.     

BRing中电荷交换引起的束流损失分布模拟计算

在强流重离子加速器运行中,带电粒子与真空管道中的残余气体分子相互作用发生的电荷交换反应是影响重离子束流寿命的关键因素。这种电荷交换过程导致的束流损失将解吸出真空管壁上吸附的气体分子,进而引起真空压力的动态变化,将严重影响加速器的稳定运行和最终束流引出流强。中国科学院近代物理研究所将在广东省惠州市建造的强流重离子加速器装置（High Intensity heavy-ion AcceleratorFacility,简称HIAF）利用增强器（Booster Ring,简称BRing）提供束流流强高达2×1011 ppp的238U35+用于核物理及原子物理等实验研究。对强流重离子加速器BRing中238U35+束流发生电荷交换反应,损失一个电子成为238U36+的过程进行了追踪模拟,计算得到了U36+损失前的运动径迹和全环粒子损失位置分布,模拟结果显示U36+受到色散元件的影响,将集中损失在位于二极磁铁后的漂移节区域中。基于模拟结果,在束流损失位置处设计安装由低解吸率材料制作的准直器,优化设计后的准直效率高达95%以上;并模拟计算了有无准直器时真空压力和束流流强的变化,安装准直器后BRing的平均真空度变化小于10%,将确保BRing加速器的稳定运行。During heavy ion accelerator operation, the charge exchange effect between ions and residual gas molecules is the key factor to influence beam lifetime. The charge exchange process has ions lost on the wall and leads to a dynamical vacuum change, which will seriously affect the accelerator operation and reduce the extraction beam intensity. The Institute of Modern Physics' future project, called High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), will be built in Huizhou city, Guangdong Province, China. The Booster Ring (BRing) will provide 2×11 ppp 238U35+ for nuclear physics experiments. This article studies the track of particle U36+ before impacting on the wall, which is the reference particle U35+ losing one electron, and gets the U36+ loss distribution along the BRing. The simulation result shows that U36+ will be influenced seriously by dispersion elements, and will be lost in the drift sections after the dipoles. Collimators made out of materials with low desorption will be installed in the particles lost positions. The collimator efficiency after optimization can be larger than 95%. It also shows BRing average pressure change and beam intensity change between collimators on and off. The result points out that the BRing average pressure change will be less than 10% with collimators on, which makes BRing operate stably.

为了提高兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环（HIRFL-CSR）的运行效率、改善加速器输出束流品质,并实现几个加速装置分时供束,提高整个重离子加速装置的利用率,特为（HIRFL-CSR）增建一台新的注入器--CSRLINAC。在108.48 MHz的RFQ之后的CSR-LINAC主加速段,主要由一台108.48 MHz和两台216.96 MHz的IH型漂移管直线加速器组成,用于加速荷质比为1/8.5~1/3之间的重离子,其最大的束流流强为3 mA,并将粒子从0.3 MeV/u加速到3.71 MeV/u。运用KONUS动力学原理,在满足设计指标的情况下,首先利用TraceWin程序进行中能束线MEBT设计,后针对高频腔体设计和束流匹配的基本参数的系列讨论,特别是对CSR-LINAC的中能束流匹配线、参数选择和IH型KONUS结构的漂移管直线加速器进行设计模拟优化。最终得出,在保证腔体设计指标和95.3%的传输效率的情况下,该紧凑型直线加速结构经过三个腔体的加速后,束流的纵向归一化均方根发射度增长仅有25%;同时发现,当流强达到3 mA时,存在空间电荷效应,导致其纵向相宽增长约25%,最大横向包络也存在16.5%的涨落。In order to improve the operation efficiency of the Cooling Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL-CSR), a heavy ion linac (linear accelerator) was proposed and designed as a new injector for HIRFL-CSR. Following the 108.48 MHz Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), three tanks in total with Interdigital H-mode drift tube linac (IH-DTL) structure are installed to boost the beam energy from 0.3 to 3.71 MeV/u, and the beam current of ions with charge-to-mass ratio from 1/8.5 to 1/3 can reach to 3 mA. The first tank operatesat the same frequency as the RFQ, and the rest two operate at 216.96 MHz. The “Combined Zero-Degree Synchronous Particle Structure” (KONUS) beam dynamics was used in the beam dynamics design. The overview of the physics design on the main accelerating components, including RF design and beam dynamics design are introduced in this paper. The optimized structure design, fabrication status and simulation results are presented in this contribution. It shows that under the condition of assurance of 95.3% transmission efficiency, the normalized rms emittance is about 25%. When the beam current is up to 3 mA, owing to the space charge effect, the increase of longitudinal phase spread and transverse envelope are about 25% and 16.3%, respectively.

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.
