Emittance coupling driven by space charge in the CSNS linac

In the conventional design of RF linacs, the bunched beams are not in thermal equilibrium. The space charge forces couple the particle motions between the transverse and the longitudinal directions. Furthermore it will cause the equipartitioning process which leads to emittance growth and halo formation. In the design of the China Spallation Neutron Source （CSNS） linac, three cases are investigated using the Hofmann stability charts. In this paper, we present the equipartitioning beam study of the CSNS Alvarez DTL linac.     

准周期聚焦–加速耦合系统的均温设计方法

强流质子直线加速器要求严格控制束流损失和束流发射度增长.理论已经证明,强的空间电荷作用在不同自由度之间的耦合,会因为其间的温度差异,通过束流的相干不稳定性,使束流发射度增长.因此,有必要按照均温的原则设计强流加速器.但是,由于质子直线加速器的各种加速结构均为准周期耦合系统,使得均温设计十分繁琐而难以达到完全均温.我们利用国际上通用的束流动力学软件TRACE3-D,给它补充了均温设计功能,通过与PARMILA程序的配合使用,可以方便地在加速器设计中实现均温条件.本文将介绍我们对TRACE3-D的修改补充,并以强流质子直线加速器设计实例,说明均温设计的必要性.

Design study for a 500 MeV proton synchrotron with CSNS linac as an injector

Using the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS) linac as the injector, a 500 MeV proton synchrotron is proposed for multidisciplinary applications, such as biology, material science and proton therapy. The synchrotron will deliver proton beam with energy from 80 MeV to 500 MeV. A compact lattice design has been worked out, and all the important beam dynamics issues have been investigated. The 80 MeV H-beam is stripped and injected into the synchrotron by using multi-turn injection.

Vibration research of the AC dipole-girder system for CSNS/RCS

The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a high intensity proton accelerator based facility. Its accelerator complex includes two main parts: an H^- linac and a rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). The RCS accumulates the 80 MeV proton beam and accelerates it to 1.6 GeV, with a repetition rate of 25 Hz. The AC dipole of the CSNS/RCS is operated at a 25 Hz sinusoidal alternating current which causes severe vibration. The vibration will influence the long-term safety and reliable operation of the magnet. The dipole magnet of CSNS/RCS is an active vibration equipment, which is different from the ground vibration accelerator. It is very important to design and study the dynamic characteristics of the dipole-girder system. This paper takes the AC dipole and girder as a specific model system. A method for studying the dynamic characteristics of the system is put forward by combining theoretical calculation with experimental testing. The ANSYS simulation method plays a very important role in the girder structure design stage. With this method, the mechanical resonance phenomenon was avoided in the girder design time. At the same time the dipole vibratory force will influence the other equipment through the girder. Since it is necessary to isolate and decrease the dipole vibration, a new isolator was designed to isolate the vibratory force and decrease the vibration amplitude of the magnet.
