Thermal analysis for the high duty cycle PIMS accelerator

To develop the high power proton linear accelerator for the Accelerator Driven System（ADS） program,the preliminary design of the Pi mode accelerating structure（PIMS） has been carried out.It is estimated that PIMS would heat up to 80 for low duty cycle（0.1%） without water-cooling,which is not acceptable thus water-cooling is demanded.The structure stability for the high duty cycle or even for CW operation is crucially important for the ADS application.Therefore,thermal analysis with water-cooling for a high duty accelerator in our ADS research is performed to control the frequency shift caused by a temperature rise.     

Charmonium spectroscopy and decay at CLEO-c

We report recent results on charmonium spectroscopy and decay from the CLEO-c experiment at the Cornell electrompositron storage ring accelerator, CESR. Most of the results are based on the analysis of 54 pb-1 of luminosity collected at the ψ（2S） resonance, corresponding to 27 M ψ（2S） decays. We concentrate on radiative decays of ψ（2S） and J/ψ, on two-body mesonic decay of XcJ, on hadronic decay of the he, and on higher multipoles in the two-photon cascade ψ（2S）→γχcJ, XcJ→γJ/ψ.     

SSC-LINAC中APF型DTL的优化设计

A linear accelerator as a new injector for the SSC （Separated Sector Cyclotron） of the HIRFL （Heavy Ion Research Facility Lanzhou） is being designed. The DTL （Drift-Tube-Linac） has been designed to accelerate ^238U^34＋ from 0.140 MeV/u to 0.97 MeV/u. To the first accelerating tank which accelerates ^238U^34＋ to 0.54 MeV/u, the approach of Alternating-Phase-Focusing （APF） is applied. The phase array is obtained by coupling optimization software Dakota and beam optics code LINREV. With the hybrid of Multi- objective Genetic Algorithm （MOGA） and a pattern search method, an optimum array of asynchronous phases is determined. The final growth, both transversely and longitudinally, can meet the design requirements. In this paper, the deign optimization of the APF DTL is presented.

Theoretical Design of a 104MHz Ladder Type IH-RFQ Accelerator

Beam dynamics and rf designs of a 104 MHz ladder type IH-RFQ （L-IH-RFQ） accelerator are finished at Peking University for the acceleration of 14C＋ from 40 keV to 500 keV. As a specific feature, the output beam energy spread is as low as 0.6% achieved with the internal discrete bunching method, which makes potential applications of RFQ feasible, such as accelerator mass spectrometry and ion implantation. Tolerances of the beam dynamics design are studied by means of changing the input beam parameters, and the results are quite satisfying. On the other hand, the L-IH-RFQ structure is employed, taking advantage of its mechanical stability and the absence of inter-electrode voltage asymmetry. Radio-frequency properties are studied and optimized for reducing power loss with Microwave Studio （MWS）. Tuning of the field flatness and frequency is investigated in principle.

电子束蒸发和离子束溅射HfO_2紫外光学薄膜

HfO2薄膜在紫外光学中具有十分重要的地位,不同方法制备的HfO2薄膜特性不同,可以满足不同的实际应用需求。本文分别利用电子束蒸发和离子束溅射方法制备了用于紫外光区域的HfO2薄膜,并对薄膜的材料和光学特性进行了表征与比较。通过对单层HfO2薄膜的实测透射和反射光谱进行数值反演,得到了HfO2薄膜在230～800 nm波段的折射率和消光系数色散曲线,结果表明两种方法制备的HfO2薄膜在250nm的消光系数均小于2×10-3。在此基础上,制备了两种典型的紫外光学薄膜元件(紫外低通滤波器和240nm高反射镜),其光谱性能测试结果表明,两种不同方法制备的器件均具有较好的光学特性。     

线极化波对带电粒子的加速机制

讨论了线极化波对带电粒子三种加速机制:(1)介质折射率递减但外加磁场保持不变;(2)介质折射率不变但外加磁场递增;(3)介质折射率递减且外加磁场递增。结果显示,在一定的加速距离内,按照机制(3)利用LPEMW加速电子的效率最高。另外,机制(3)可以避免机制(2)中电子在加速过程中回飞的问题,这一点在利用线极化波(LPEMW)加速电子束或带电粒子束时非常重要。
