MOPD034 | Beam measurements at the Frankfurt Funneling Experiment | 759 |
|
||
Funneling is a method to increase low energy beam currents in multiple stages. The Frankfurt Funneling Experiment is a model of such a stage. The experiment is built up of two ion sources with electrostatic lens systems, a Two-Beam-RFQ accelerator, a funneling deflector and a beam diagnostic system. The two beams are bunched and accelerated in a Two-Beam RFQ. A funneling deflector combines the bunches to a common beam axis. Current work is beam tests with the new beam matching section. First funneling beam and energy measurements with the improved Two-Beam-RFQ will be presented. |

MOPD035 | Tuning of the 4-rod RFQ for MSU | 762 |
|
||
A new reaccelerator facility ReA3 is currently under construction for National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU). As part of that project a new 3.5 m long 4-rod Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) has been build. This RFQ accelerates ions with a Q/A ratio of 0.2 up to 0.5 from an input energy of 12 keV/u to the final energy of 600 keV/u. We have designed the 80.5 MHz-RFQ with a square cavity cross section. It was build and tuned in Frankfurt and has been delivered to MSU. The design and the tuning process of the ReA3-RFQ will be discribed in this paper. |

MOPD036 | Simulations of Buncher-cavities with Large Apertures | 765 |
|
||
Buncher-cavities re-accelerate, bunch or re-bunch particle beams. A special form of these buncher-rf-cavities is a spiral-structure. Two different spiral resonators were simulated and build for the new EBIS LINAC at Brookhaven National Laboratory. These buncher-cavities have a remarkably large aperture of 100 mm. To optimize the cavities to the BNL-frequency of 100 MHz, simulations have been carried out. The impact of changing the gap width, drifttube-, and spiral arm-length on the design of the spiral cavities, has been analyzed. Results of simulations and measurement will be presented. |
