中国散裂中子源RCS注入区H0CT测量系统研制

中国散裂中子源的强流质子加速器采用剥离注入的方式,碳膜将H^-剥离两个电子后变成质子,多圈涂抹注入到快循环同步环加速中,并加速至1.6 GeV。为了精确测量剥离膜的剥离效率并研究不同厚度剥离膜的使用寿命,在I-Dump束线上新研发并安装了一套束流流强探测器(H⁰CT),用于测量未完全剥离的H^-和H⁰(H^-被剥离一个电子)粒子。为了测量μA级束流,H⁰CT弱流强测量系统的研制考虑了外部干扰,配合探头、线缆及电子学低噪声的抗干扰设计,将环境噪声及干扰的影响降至最低,提高信噪比,实现了μA级脉冲电流的测量。

Development of an H0CT measurement system at the CSNS injection region

The high intensity proton accelerator of China Spallation Neutron Source adopts the method of charge exchange injection. A carbon foil strips two electrons of H? into H+, and proton beams are multiturn-painted in the phase space of the rapid cycling synchrontron for acceleration to 1.6 GeV. A new-developed beam current transformer (H0CT) was installed at the I-Dump beamline to measure the incompletely stripped H? and H0 particles, for the sake of an accurate measurement of the stripping efficiency, together with a study of the service life of the foil stripper with different thicknesses. To measure such extremely weak microampere beam current, in the development of the H0CT measurement system, we took into account the external interference and the noises from probes, cables and electronics. The new design has minimized the impact of environmental noise, improved the signal-to-noise ratio, and successfully measured the microampere pulsed current.
