MOI1C01 | Intense-beam Issues in CSNS and C-ADS Accelerators | linac, cavity, emittance, simulation | 25 |
|
|||
In 2011 construction of two intense-beam accelerators were launched for China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) project and China Accelerator Driven System (C-ADS) project. CSNS uses a pulsed accelerator with an H− linac and a rapid cycling synchrotron, and C-ADS has a CW proton linac with superconducting cavities. In both cases, the beam power is high and beam loss control is a key issue in beam dynamics. Beam emittance growth and beam halo formation must be carefully studied in beam dynamics and well controlled in machine design. This paper will present a brief introduction to the physics design of the two intense-beam accelerators, especially on the issue of beam instability. In their linac design equapartitioning focusing scheme is adopted to avoid coupling instability. Some beam halo formation experimental results due to mismatching will be compared with simulations. Beam halo generation due to the quench of superconducting cavity and magnet is investigated in detail and compensation scheme is also proposed. Beam loss study for the error effects and orbit correction will be presented. | |||

The injection energy of the J-PARC RCS will be upgraded from 181 MeV to 400 MeV in the 2013 summer-autumn period. With this upgraded injection energy, we are to aim for 1 MW design output beam power. In this paper, we discuss beam dynamics issues for the 1 MW beam operation and their possible solutions. | |||
MOP215 | The Study on Measuring Beta Functions and Phase Advances in the CSNS/RCS | space-charge, kicker, betatron, synchrotron | 85 |
|
|||
As a key component of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Project, the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) will accumulate and accelerate the proton beams from 80 MeV to 1.6 GeV for extracting and striking the target with a repletion rate of 25 Hz. To check linear optics and locate the quadruple errors, beta function plays an important role in beam diagnostics of a particle accelerate system. The Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a robust beam diagnosis method by decomposing the samples recorded by turn by turn BPMs (beam position monitors) into the independent components which represent the inherent motion of the beam. The beta functions and phase advances can be derived from the corresponding independent components. Because the linear part of the space charge gives a defocusing effect to the beam, beta function variation will be induced. We find that the ICA method can measure beta functions with a reasonable tolerance under the conditions of strong space charge effects. | |||
MOP221 | Physics Design of the C-ADS Main Linac Based on Two Different Injector Design Schemes | linac, emittance, simulation, cavity | 107 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by Advanced Research Project of the Chinese Academy of Science Two design schemes for the main linac of C-ADS (China Accelerator Driven Subcritical system) are presented in this paper. They are corresponding to two different injector schemes. Injector-II scheme makes use of room-temperature RFQ and superconducting HWR cavities with the RF frequency of 162.5 MHz; Injector-I scheme makes use of higher-energy RFQ and superconducting spoke cavities with the RF frequency of 325 MHz. At the first choice, a relatively smaller longitudinal emittance is adopted for the RFQ designs with both the injector schemes to obtain more efficient acceleration. However, compared with the injector-I scheme, with the injector-II scheme, bunch current will be doubled in the main linac due to the half RF frequency in the injector-II. This means stronger space charge effects. Alternate design for the main linac with the injector-II scheme is to increase the longitudinal emittance by 50% so that the space charge effects will be alleviated. However, totally 30 cavities more and 36 m longer in the main linac have to be paid for this design scheme. The design considerations, the lattice designs, the simulation results including halo information are presented. |

MOP231 | Study of Non-equi-partitioning Lattice Setting and IBS Effects for J-PARC Linac Upgrade | emittance, linac, simulation, DTL | 118 |
|
|||
For the coming upgrade of J-Parc, the peak power of linac will be greatly increased. This may open many interesting questions. For instance, for efficient acceleration from 19 0MeV to 400 MeV the annular coupled structure (ACS) was applied with frequency jump from 324 MHz to 972 MHz. Upstream part of J-PARC linac from the frequency jump is set with the equi-partitioning (EP) condition, which prevents from the coherent resonances. If EP condition is kept for the downstream part, due to the frequency jump, the transverse focusing should also ‘jump' 3 times with shrink of envelop. The increased beam-density affects the interactions between particles, including the intra-beam stripping (IBS) effect in the H− beam. The temperature ratio between transverse and longitudinal planes is used as a knob for studying the beam behavior for the cases away from equi-partitioning. The IBS effects, as well as strategies for setting downstream non-equi-partitioning lattice due to frequency jump are studied. The matching and beam evolution in the transition section from EP to non-EP (MEBT2) are also studied. The results help to reach an optimum with least risks from resonances and IBS effects and so on. | |||
MOP232 | Optimization of the Superconducting Section of Injector Ⅱ for C-ADS | solenoid, emittance, simulation, linac | 122 |
|
|||
Abstract: The China Accelerator driven System (C-ADS) project which includes a high current SC proton linac is being studied under Chinese Academy of Science. Injector II, one of parallel injectors, is undertaken by Institute of Modern Physics (IMP). The lattice design of Injector II has been done. While in most case, the elements, such as SC cavities and SC solenoids, have different weight to the final beam parameters. What is more, in the real operation process of the machine, the optimized mode is hard to find. In the paper, Latin sampling method specified in DAKOTA code combined with TRACK is adopted to build hundreds of virtual machines to analyse the sensitivity of the SC section and to find optimization operation mode. | |||
MOP256 | High-power Scaling FFAG Ring Studies | injection, space-charge, scattering, dynamic-aperture | 202 |
|
|||
High-power scaling FFAG rings have potential application in areas such as neutron spallation, muon production, and accelerator-driven systems. It is proposed to build a model of such a ring in order to study major issues such as space charge and injection. A 20 ' 70 MeV radial DFD FFAG model, that was initially described in *, incorporates long straights to facilitate H− charge exchange injection. Bump magnets are used to move the injected beam away from the foil. The effect of the injection process on the beam emittance is considered. The tune depression and emittance blow up resulting from the effect of space charge is also calculated.

MOP258 | Simulation of Intense Proton Beams in Novel Isochronous FFAG Designs | space-charge, cyclotron, simulation, extraction | 211 |
|
|||
Recent developments in the design of non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerators have been focused on achieving isochronous behavior with a small betatron tune excursion. These advances are particularly interesting for applications requiring CW beams, such as Accelerator Driven Systems for energy generation or waste transmutation. The latest advances in lattice design have resulted in a 330 MeV to 1 GeV lattice, isochronous to better than ± 1 percent. This paper reports on simulations of recent lattice designs incorporating 3D space charge effects. | |||
TUO3B04 | End to End Beam Dynamics and Design Optimization for CSNS Linac | DTL, linac, quadrupole, rfq | 286 |
|
|||
The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) will use a linear accelerator delivering a 15mA beam up to 80MeV for injection into a rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). Since each section of the linac was determined individually, a global optimization based on end-to-end simulation results has refined some design choices, including the drift-tube linac (DTL) and the medium energy beam transport (MEBT). The simulation results and reasons for adjustments are presented in this paper. | |||

|
|||
One of the future multi-MW accelerators is the LBNE Experiment where Fermilab plans to produce a beam of neutrinos with a 2.3 MW proton beam as part of a suite of experiments associated with ProjectX. Specifically, the LBNE Neutrino Beam Facility aims for a 2+ MW, 60-120 GeV pulsed,high intensity proton beam produced in the ProjectX accelerator intercepted by a low Z solid target to facilitate the production of low energy neutrinos. The multi-MW level LBNE proton beam will be characterized by intensities of the order of 1.6·10+14 p/pulse, σradius of 1.5-3.5 mm and a 9.8 μs pulse length. These parameters are expected to push many target materials to their limit thus making the target design very challenging. Recent experience from operating high intensity beams on targets have indicated that several critical design issues exist namely thermal shock,heat removal, radiation damage,radiation accelerated corrosion effects,and residual radiation within the target envelope. A series of experimental studies on radiation damage and thermal shock response conducted at BNL and focusing on low-Z materials have unraveled potential issues regarding the damageability from energetic particle beams which may differ significantly from thermal reactor experience. Irradiation damage results for low-Z materials associated with the LBNE and other high power experiments will be presented. | |||

THO1A02 | Effects of Magnetic Field Tracking Errors and Space Charge on Beam Dynamics at CSNS/RCS | space-charge, quadrupole, simulation, resonance | 484 |
|
|||
The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is an accelerator-based facility. It operates at 25 Hz repetition rate with an design beam power of 100 kW. CSNS consists of a 1.6-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) and a 80-MeV linac. The lattice of the CSNS/RCS is triplet based four-fold structure. The preferred working points of CSNS/RCS are (4.86, 4.78) which can avoid the major low-order structure resonances. But because of the chromatic tune shift, space-charge incoherent tune shift and the tune shift caused by magnetic field tracking errors between the quadrupoles and the dipoles, some structure resonances are unavoidable. The chromaticity, space charge effects and magnetic field tracking errors can also induce beta function distortion, and influence the transverse acceptance and the collimation efficiency of the collimation system. In this paper we show results of space-charge simulations introducing magnetic field tracking errors and discuss the combined effects of chromaticity, magnetic field tracking errors and space charge on the beam dynamics for CSNS/RCS. | |||
