Multipacting simulation and analysis of a taper quarter wave cavity by using Analyst-PT3P

Since the tapered quarter wave resonator (QWR) cavity is proven to have a much lower peak surface magnetic field in the short plate and a lower peak surface electric field near the beam tube compared with the straight outer conductor QWR, it has been recommended for the separated sector cyclotron linac injector system in the heavy ion research facility in Lanzhou. This paper is focused on the multipacting (MP) analysis for the tapered QWR with a frequency of 80.5 MHz and beta of 0.085. Using the Analyst program, MP bands can be simulated and analyzed with the Particle Tracking module to identify potential problems in the cavity design. This paper will present the simulation results of MP for the tapered QWR cavity.     

A preliminary study of the feasibility of using superconducting quarter-wave resonators foraccelerating high intensity proton beams

The superconducting (SC) cavities currently used for the acceleration of protons at a low velocity range are based on half-wave resonators. Due to the rising demand on high current, the issue of beam loading and space-charge problems has arisen. Qualities of low cost and high accelerating efficiency are required for SC cavities, which are properly fitted by using SC quarter-wave resonators (QWR). We propose a concept of using QWRs with frequency 162.5 MHz to accelerate high current proton beams. The main factor limiting SC QWRs being applied to high current proton beams is vertical beam steering, which is dominantly caused by the magnetic field on axis. In this paper, we intend to analyze steering and eliminate it to verify the qualification of using QWRs to accelerate high intensity proton beams.     

Electromagnetic design and optimization of a superconducting quarter wave resonator

Superconducting (SC) cavities currently used for the acceleration of protons at a low velocity range are based on half wave resonators. Due to the rising demand on high current, the issue of beam loading and space charge problems has arisen. Qualities of low cost and high accelerating efficiency are required for SC cavities, which are properly fitted by using an SC quarter wave resonator (QWR). We propose a concept of using QWRs with frequency 162.5 MHz to accelerate high current proton beams. The electromagnetic design and optimization of the prototype have been finished at Peking University. An analytical model derived by the transmission line theory is used to predict an optimal combination of the geometrical parameters, with which the calculation by Microwave Studio shows a good agreement. The thermal analysis to identify the temperature rise of the demountable bottom plate under various levels of thermal contact also has been done, and the maximum increment is less than 0.5 K even though the contact state is poor.     

CiADS超导直线加速器超导腔失效的分段补偿与冗余设计

加速器驱动次临界装置（ADS）对加速器运行稳定性和失束指标提出了前所未有的要求。对于超导直线加速器的研究发现,超导腔失效是失束的一个较大的来源,故针对超导腔的失效情况,本文提出分段补偿新方法,以提高高功率超导直线加速器的运行稳定性。提出的分段补偿方法与已有的全局补偿和局部补偿的方法相比,在保证加速器出口束流品质与无束损束流传输的同时,分段补偿束流能量,优化了参与能量补偿的超导腔数量,降低超导腔的备份功率源需求。论文最后针对CiADS的超导直线加速器的物理设计,做了分段补偿的多粒子模拟。结果表明,采用了分段补偿方法实现超导腔失效补偿的前提下,参与补偿过程中改变腔压的超导腔数量比例为48%,对功率源总的功率备份冗余需求小于20%。The accelerator driven subcritical system (ADS) has put forward unprecedented demands on the stability and beam trip of the accelerator operation. Depending on analysis, failure of the superconducting cavities is a major cause for beam trip of the superconducting cavity. Therefore, a new method of piecewise compensation is proposed to improve the stability of high power superconductivity linac. The piecewise compensation scheme proposed in this paper is compared with the existing global compensation and local compensation technology. While guaranteeing the beam quality of the accelerator and without beam loss transmission, the piecewise compensation method can optimize the number of superconducting cavities involved in energy compensation and reduce the demand for the backup redundancy of power sources of the superconducting cavities. At the end of the paper, the multi-particle simulation of piecewise compensation aims at the physical design of CiADS superconducting linac. The result shows that 48% of superconducting cavities modify the cavity's Epeak during the compensation process and the demanded redundancy of total power sources is less than 20% under the premise of successful compensation for the failure of superconducting cavities through the piecewise compensation method.     

Structural analysis of quarter-wave resonators in IMP

The taper-shaped superconducting quarter wave resonators with frequency of 80.5 MHz, β of 0.041 and 0.085 have been pre-researched. The radio frequency (RF) design of the cavities has been completed, and the structural design is also an important aspect which will be discussed in the following. The frequency shift caused by the etching effects of the surface treatment, the helium bath pressure and the Lorentz force, and the mechanical modes caused by the microphonic excitation have been analyzed. The results show that the frequency variation from the Lorentz force is not serious and stiffening rings are explored aimed at decreasing the deformation brought by the helium pressure and microphonic excitation.

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.

ADS先导专项的注入器Ⅱ计划在将质子束通过一个Cryomodule加速到5 MeV后,进行10 mA连续束流的调试,以验证ADS低能段的强流超导直线加速器技术。为了将50 kW的束流功率沉积到束流垃圾站,需要搭建一条高能束流传输线,从超导段开始传输束流。采用两套三组合四极透镜控制束流包络及垃圾站的束流尺寸,利用诊断真空室进行水平和垂直发射度的测量。为避免束流产生的真空管道损伤,该传输线必须确保束流无损失地传输到垃圾站。A CW 10 mA,5 MeV beam commissioning of CADS Injector Ⅱ is planed recently to test the high power superconduction linac techniques.To transport 50 kW beam from linac to the beam dump,a high energy beam line (HEBT) line is designed and setup.Two Triplet are used to control the beam size along HEBT and at the beam dump.One diagnostics box is used for horizontal and vertical emittance measurement.To avoid damages to the vacuum pipe,beam should be transported to the beam dump without losses.The details of the HEBT design will be described in the paper.     

金刚石探测器用于C-ADS注入器Ⅱ束损探测的模拟研究

加速器驱动次临界系统C-ADS 注入器Ⅱ采用强流超导质子直线加速器,设计流强达到10 mA。强流质子束产生的束流损失有可能损伤超导腔,需要专用的束流损失监测系统进行监测,束流损失探测器(BLM) 需要在高能量沉积导致超导腔失超之前提供警报。通过MCNPX 模拟计算10 MeV 质子在半波谐振腔(HWR)不同位置损失产生的辐射场,比较选取超导腔管道进出口处4 个位置为推荐束损探测器放置的位置,结合HWR腔结构和束损探测器选择的影响因素,计算了次级辐射在金刚石探测器中的能量沉积以及1° ~ 5°不同质子入射角度对探测的影响。结果表明,根据不同位置处探测器的能量沉积关系可以推断出束损点;不同入射角度不会影响生成粒子的能量分布,只轻微影响生成粒子的数目。The Chinese Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (C-ADS) injector II consists of super-conduction accelerating section which is half wave resonator (HWR), the designed beam intensity is 10 mA. To avoid the damage to the resonator due to proton beam loss, special Beam Loss Monitor (BLM) system is essential. BLM system could provide alarm signal when high energy deposition occurs which may cause the resonator quenching. Radiation field of 10 MeV proton lost at different point of the HWR are simulated with MCNPX, BLM could be set at proper positions based on the simulation. Considering the structure of HWR and the BLM detector selecting influence factor, radiation energy deposition in the diamond detector are simulated with MCNPX when the proton incidence angle change from 1°  5°, Possible beam loss point can be deduced from the relationship of energy deposition in detectors at different locations. The results indicate that energy spectra of secondary particles are independent with incidence angle; the number of secondary particles may be influenced slightly.

Wave growth rate in a cylindrical metal waveguide with ion-channel guiding of a relativistic electron beam

This paper addresses the formulae and numerical issues related to the possibility that fast wave may be grown when a relativistic electron beam through an ion channel in a cylindrical metal waveguide.To derive the dispersion equations of the beam-wave interaction,it solves relativistic Lorentz equation and Maxwell’s equations for appropriate boundary conditions.It has been found in this waveguide structure that the TM 0m modes are the rational operating modes of coupling between the electromagnetic modes and the betatron modes.The interaction of the dispersion curves of the electromagnetic TM 0m modes and the upper betatron modes is studied.The growth rates of the wave are obtained,and the effects of the beam radius,the beam energy,the plasma frequency,and the beam plasma frequency on the wave growth rate are numerically calculated and discussed.     

Beam steering characteristics in high-power quantum-cascade lasers emitting at∼4.6µm

A beam steering effect of high-power quantum cascade(QC) lasers emitting at 4.6 μm was investigated. The continuous wave(CW) output power of an uncoated, 6-mm-long, 7.5-μm-wide buried-heterostructure QC laser at 25℃ was as high as 854.2 m W. The maximum beam steering angle was offset by ±14.2° from the facet normal(0°) in pulsed mode. The phenomenon was judged explicitly by combining the diffraction limit theory and Fourier transform of the spectra. It was also verified by finite element method software simulation and the calculation of two-dimensional(2 D)effective-index model. The observed steering is consistent with a theory for coherence between the two lowest order lateral modes. Therefore, we have established an intrinsic linkage between the spectral instabilities and the beam steering by using the Fourier transform of the spectra, and further presented an extremely valid method to judge the beam steering. The content of this method includes both three equidistant peak positions in the Fourier transform of the spectra and the beam quality located between once the diffraction limit(DL) and twice the DL.
