  The minimum transverse emittances achievable in a beam line are determined by the two transverse eigen-emittances of the beam. For vanishing interplane correlations they are equal to the well-know rms-emittances. Eigen-emittances are constants of motion for all symplectic beam line elements, i.e. (even tilted) linear elements. To allow for rms-emittance transfer, the eigen-emittances must be changed by applying a non-symplectic action to the beam, preferably preserving the 4d-rms-emittance. This contribution will introduce the concept for eigen-emittance shaping and rms-emittance transfer at an ion linac. A path towards the experimental demonstration of the concept at the GSI UNILAC is presented.

  For the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS/RCS), the stripping foil scattering generates the beam halo and gives rise to additional beam losses during the injection process. The interaction between the proton beam and the stripping foil was discussed and the foil scattering was studied. A simple model and the realistic situation of the foil scattering were considered. By using the codes ORBIT and FLUKA, the multi-turn phase space painting injection process with the stripping foil scattering for CSNS/RCS was simulated and the beam losses due to the foil scattering were obtained.

  As proposed at HB2010, additional bunch-shape monitors have been installed at the last turns of the Injector 2 cyclotron and at several locations in the connecting beam line to the Ring cyclotron (@72 MeV), as well as behind the Ring cyclotron (@590 MeV). Now at each location in the beam lines, longitudinal-transversal 2D-density distributions of the bunched 2.2 mA proton beam can be taken from four angles of view, each separated by 45°. In addition the monitor in Injector 2 has been upgraded to observe the 13 outermost turns (@57 to 72 MeV), some of them from two or three angles of view. The measurement setup, data evaluation and results are outlined.

  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.

TUO1B01 Beam Loss Due to Foil Scattering in the SNS Accumulator Ring injection, proton, collimation, extraction 254

The Spallation Neutron Source is now operating in production mode at about 1 MW of beam power on target, which corresponds to more than 1014 protons per pulse at 60 Hz with energies exceeding 900 MeV. Although overall beam losses in production tune are low, the highest losses in the entire machine occur in the region downstream of the ring injection stripper foil. In order to better understand the contribution of scattering from the primary stripper foil to losses in the SNS ring, we have carried out calculations using the ORBIT Code aimed at evaluating these losses. These calculations indicate that the probability of beam loss within one turn following a foil hit is ~1.7·10-8*T, where T is the foil thickness in g/cm2, assuming a carbon foil. Thus, for a stripper foil of thickness T = 390 g/cm2, the probability of loss within one turn of a foil hit is ~6.7·10-6. This paper describes the calculations used to arrive at this result, presents the distribution of these losses around the SNS ring, and compares the the calculated loss distribution with that observed experimentally.

  J-PARC 3-GeV RCS has started the beam commissioning since Oct. 2007. In the beam commissioning, the beam tuning for basic parameters and high-intensity operation has been continuously performed. This presentation will describe the results of the beam-loss reduction and minimization for high-intensity operation.

  Intra-beam scattering is a small angle multiple Coulomb scattering effect, leading to emittance growth. It becomes important for high brightness beams in low emittance lepton rings, but also hadron synchrotrons and ring colliders. Several theoretical models have been developed over the years, however, when the IBS becomes predominant, the divergence between the models becomes important. In addition, the theoretical models are based on the consideration of Gaussian beams and uncoupled transverse motion. Recently, two multi-particle tracking codes have been developed, in order to enable the understanding of the IBS influence on the beam distribution and the inclusion of coupling. The comparison between theoretical models in different lattices and different regimes is discussed here and the benchmarking of the theoretical models with the tracking codes is presented. Finally, first measurement results are presented in low emittance rings and hadron synchrotrons.

WEO3C02 Collimation of Ion Beams ion, collimation, proton, heavy-ion 461

  The SIS 100 synchrotron as part of the FAIR project at GSI will accelerate various beam species from proton to uranium. An important issue is to minimize uncontrolled beam losses using a collimation system. An application of the two-stage collimation concept, well established for proton accelerators, is considered for the fully-stripped ion beams. The two-stage system consists of a primary collimator (a scattering foil) and secondary collimators (bulky absorbers). The main tasks of this study are:
  1. to specify beam optics of the system,
  2. to calculate dependence of the scattering angle in the foil on the projectile species,
  3. to investigate importance of the inelastic nuclear interaction in the foil and
  4. to calculate dependence of the collimation efficiency on the projectile species.
A concept for the collimation of partially-stripped ions is based on the stripping of remaining electrons and deflecting using a beam optical element towards a dump location. Residual activation and radiation damage issues of collimator materials are also being studied at GSI. Experimental results from irradiation of carbon-based materials by heavy ions are presented.
