Transverse profile expansion and homogenization at target for the injector Scheme-Ⅰ test stand of China-ADS

For the injector Scheme-Ⅰ test stand of the China-ADS (Accelerator Driven subcritical System), a beam with the maximum power of 100 kW will be produced and transported to the beam dump. To solve the very high thermal load problem at the dump, two measures are taken to deal with the huge power density at the target. One is to enlarge the contact area between the beam and the target, and this is to be accomplished by expanding the beam profile at the target and using slanted target plates. The other is to produce a more homogenous beam profile at the target to minimize the maximum power density. Here the beam dump line is designed to meet the requirement of beam expansion and homogenization at 3 different energies (3.2 MeV, 5 MeV and 10 MeV), and the step-like field magnets are employed for the beam spot homogenization. Taking into account the fact that the space charge effects are very strong at such low beam energies, the simulations have included space charge effects and errors which show that the beam line can meet the requirements very well. In the meantime, the alternative beam design using standard multipole magnets is also presented.

 交叉型波荡器是一种实现软X射线自由电子激光极化控制的有效方式。以自放大自发辐射自由光电子激光为例,采用统计的方法系统地分析了交叉型波荡器软X射线自由电子激光极化控制的影响因素。通过对光场相干长度、光脉冲两分量之间相对滑移长度和光场分量平均功率差异等的分析,给出了优化交叉型波荡器极化控制方案遵循的原则,即：辐射场相干时间尽可能长,光场分量相对滑移长度尽可能短,辐射场分量功率差异尽可能小等。该原则为交叉型波荡器软X射线自由电子激光极化控制方案的优化提供了依据。     

波荡器谐波场增强效应对电子自发辐射谱的影响

 有效利用电子束在波荡器中运动时产生的谐波辐射,是获得更短波长辐射最直接的方法之一。提高波荡器磁场的谐波分量可以提高电子束的谐波辐射光场强度。分析了一种改进Halbach型波荡器结构,计算了其磁场的构成,分析表明这种结构可以使磁场的三次谐波分量提高至基波分量的25%左右。以合肥光源的电子束参数为例,计算了波荡器磁场谐波分量增强后对电子束自发辐射谱的影响。计算结果表明,波荡器磁场谐波分量增强至25%时,可以使电子束自发辐射的三次谐波辐射增强至基波辐射光子通量的67%左右。     

Transverse profile expansion and homogenization at target for the injector Scheme-I test stand of China-ADS

For the injector Scheme- test stand of the China-ADS(Accelerator Driven subcritical System), a beam with the maximum power of 100 k W will be produced and transported to the beam dump. To solve the very high thermal load problem at the dump, two measures are taken to deal with the huge power density at the target.One is to enlarge the contact area between the beam and the target, and this is to be accomplished by expanding the beam profile at the target and using slanted target plates.

带空间电荷效应的横向发射度测量（英文）

CADS注入器Ⅰ试验装置由中国科学院高能物理研究所承建。其10mA的束流由RFQ结构加速到3.2 MeV,经中能传输段匹配到超导加速结构。为了减小失匹配造成的束流损失,需要测量RFQ出口束流参数,以便调整中能传输段Lattice结构,使束流能匹配进入超导腔。CADS注入器Ⅰ采用丝靶扫四极铁参数的方式测量束流截面并计算RFQ出口Twiss参数。强流加速器在低能段空间电荷力很强,常规的基于矩阵的数据处理方法会带来误差。本文分别用常规的未考虑空间电荷效应的矩阵方法和考虑了空间电荷效应的遗传算法对数据进行处理,得到的结果显示低能强流加速器进行Twiss参数测量时,必须考虑空间电荷效应的影响。

Uncoupled achromatic condition of a dog-leg system with the presence of RF cavities

To merge the beam from either of the two injectors to the main linac, a dog-leg system will be employed in the second Medium Energy Beam Transport （MEBT2） line of the China ADS driving accelerator. The achromatic condition has to be guaranteed to avoid beam center excursion against energy jitter. RF cavities were found to be indispensable to control the bunch length growth in the dog-leg system of MEBT2. The full uncoupling between transverse and longitudinal plane is desired to minimize the growth of projected rms emittances. The uncoupled achromatic condition of this dogleg system with the presence of RF bunching cavities will be deduced using the transfer matrices method. It is found that, to fulfill the uncoupling condition, the distance between the bunching cavities is uniquely determined by the maximum energy gain of the RF cavities. The theoretical analysis is verified by the simulation code TraceWin. The space charge effect on the uncoupled achromatic condition and the beam emittance growth will Mso be discussed.     

Optimization parameter design of a circular e+e- Higgs factory

In this paper we will show a general method of how to make an optimized parameter design of a circular e⁺e^- Higgs factory by using analytical expression of maximum beam-beam parameter and beamstrahlung beam lifetime starting from a given design goal and technical limitations. A parameter space has been explored. Based on beam parameters scan and RF parameters scan, a set of optimized parameter designs for 50 km Circular Higgs Factory (CHF) with different RF frequency was proposed.

Longitudinal instability caused by long drifts in the C-ADS injector-Ⅰ

The period length is usually much larger than the cavity effective length in a low energy superconducting linac.The long drifts between cavities will not only decrease the acceptance of the linac, but also lead to possible instability. The linac will be more sensitive to mismatch and other perturbations. From the longitudinal motion equation, the function which describes the parametric resonance is deduced and the relation between the instability region and the cavity filling factor is discussed. It indicates that if the zero current phase advance per period is kept below 90°, instability driven by parametric resonance will never occur. The space charge effect will enhance the instability, so that a stricter limitation on the phase advance per cell is required. From the numerical simulation results for two different schemes of Injector-Ⅰ of the C-ADS driver linac, one can find that even with just three cells in the unstable region, significant emittance growth can be observed. Further investigations show that it is apt to produce halo particles under resonance, and the machine becomes more sensitive to errors and mismatches. Therefore, it is important to keep all cells in the stable region throughout the linac of very high beam power to minimize beam losses.
