MO4RAC05 | Weak-Strong Simulation of Head-On Beam-Beam Compensation in the RHIC | proton, electron, simulation, emittance | 94 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy and the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP). In the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) beams collide in the two interaction points IP6 and IP8. An increase of the bunch intensity above 2·1011 in polarized proton operation appears difficult due to the large beam-beam tune spread generated by the two collisions. A low energy electron beam or electron lens has been proposed to mitigate the head on beam-beam effect. In RHIC such a device could be located near IP10. We summarize multi-particle weak-strong beam-beam simulations of head-on beam-beam compensation with an electron lens. The proton beam's lifetime and emittance are calculated and compared for situations with and without an electron lens. Parameters such as the proton bunch intensity, the electron beam intensity and the betatron phase advances between IP8 and IP10 are scanned in the simulations. |

MO6PFP008 | The Design and Construction of NSLS-II Magnets | quadrupole, sextupole, dipole, lattice | 145 |
|
|||
Funding: US DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences NSLS-II is a new state-of-the-art medium energy synchrotron light source designed to deliver world leading brightness and flux with top-off operation for constant output. Design and engineering of NSLS-II began in 2005 and the beginning of construction and operations are expected to start in 2009 and 2015, respectively. The energy of the machine is 3Gev and the circumference 792 m. The chosen lattice requires tight on magnetic field tolerances for the ring magnets. These magnets have been designed with 3D Opera software. The required multipole field quality and alignment preclude the use of multifunctional sextupoles, leading to discrete corrector magnets in the storage ring. The corrector magnets are multifunctional and will provide horizontal and vertical steering as well as skew quadrupole. This paper describes the dipoles, quadrupoles, sextupoles, and corrector magnets design and prototyping status of the NSLS-II. |

MO6PFP016 | Magnetic-Field Calculations for the Magnets of the High-Energy Storage Ring (HESR) at FAIR | dipole, sextupole, quadrupole, lattice | 166 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by BMBF and NRF, Project code SUA 06/003 Forschungszentrum Jülich has taken the leadership of a consortium responsible for the design, installation and commissioning of the High-Energy Storage Ring (HESR) for antiprotons as part of the FAIR project at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. Since a normal-conducting design of the ring has now been favored over the previously envisioned superconducting option, new calculations have been performed in order to assess the magnetic field characteristics of the normal-conducting dipole, quadrupole, and sextupole magnets of the HESR. This paper presents the physical features of the magnets and the results of the 3D calculations with emphasis on the various multipole contributions at the ends of the magnets. |

MO6PFP027 | The Effect of Eddy Currents on the Homogeneity of the Magnetic Field of a Booster-Ring Sextupole Magnet | vacuum, sextupole, booster, power-supply | 193 |
|
|||
Abstract A 3-GeV electron-storage ring with tiny emittance has been designed for the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) that will provide one of the world's brightest synchrotron x-ray sources. Sextupole magnets for the booster ring (BR) serve to correct the chromaticity of the beam particles. As an AC power supply is generally used in a booster ring to raise beam particles to a required energy, a power supply at 3 Hz AC is used to charge the sextupole magnet, which would induce eddy currents in the vacuum chamber resulting in a magnetic multipole field. As an aspect of the magnet design, decreasing the effect of an eddy current on the homogeneity of the magnetic field, the geometry and material of the chamber must be considered. We demonstrate the effects of an eddy current on the homogeneity of a magnetic field for a vacuum chamber of various types, and we discuss the magnetic circuit and the conductor design of the booster-ring sextupole. Analysis of the multipole field and eddy-current loss were included to assure the accuracy of the magnetic circuit design. |

MO6PFP029 | Precise Rotating Coil System for Characterizing the TPS Magnets | quadrupole, electron, sextupole, photon | 199 |
|
|||
Lots of multipole magnets will be fabricated for the accelerator lattice magnets of Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) that include the storage ring magnets, booster ring magnets, and the transfer line magnets. Therefore, several precise rotating-coil measurement systems (RCS) with high speed measurement are developed to characterize the magnetic field of quadrupole (QM) and sextupole (SM) magnets. Printed circuit coil including normal-coil and bucking-coil, are applied to measure the absolute and relative values of multipole components, respectively. Normal-coils with three turns (single-layer-coil) has been previously discussed and found to have good reproducibility. Moreover, a 12-turn multi-layer-coil has been designed to characterize the booster ring multipole magnets of TPS. This study, compares the compensatory characteristics of two bucking-coils with 75/150 turns and 150/300 turns with those of normal-coil. A continuously-winding-method for bucking-coil is presented in the paper. A precision testing bench was used to test the performance of this system. This work describes the measurement system design and fabrication, and discusses the system precision and accuracy. |

MO6PFP030 | Development of Combined Function Magnets for the Taiwan Photon Source | quadrupole, dipole, sextupole, synchrotron | 202 |
|
|||
Bending magnets, quadrupole magnets, and sextupole magnets are the most crucial magnetic elements in the synchrotron accelerator facility or high energy accelerator collider ring. Generally, separate bending magnets, quadrupoles or sextupoles magnets are utilized to perform separate functions. However, in the lattice design of accelerator ring or a compact ring in limited space, a single multifunction magnet is used to reduce the number of magnets and ensure that the entire device fits into the available space. This work presents an approach for designing the pole profiles of a combined-function bending magnet of the dipole, quadrupole, and sextupole components. The pole profile of a combined quadrupole magnet with gradient field and sextupole field components is also discussed. |

|
|||
Jefferson Lab’s Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) currently has maximum beam energy of 6 GeV. The 12 GeV Upgrade Project will double the existing energy and is currently scheduled for completion in 2014. This doubling of energy requires modifications to the beam transport system which includes the addition of several new magnet designs and modifications to many existing designs. Prototyping efforts have been concluded for two different designs of quadrupole magnets required for the upgrade. The design, fabrication and measurement will be discussed.

MO6PFP041 | Direct Double-Helix Magnet Technology | dipole, quadrupole, radiation, laser | 229 |
|
|||
Magnets for beam steering, focusing and optical corrections often have demanding requirements on field strength, field uniformity, mechanical robustness and high radiation strength. The achievable field strength in normal conducting magnets is limited by resistive heating of the conductor. A break-through magnet technology, called “Direct Double-HelixTM” allows operation at current densities in excess of 100 A/mm2 with conventional water cooling. The conductive path generating the magnetic field is machined out of conductive cylinders, which are arranged as concentric structures. Geometrical constraints of conventional conductors, based on wire manufacturing, are eliminated. The coolant, typically water or air, is in direct contact with the conductor and yields very high cooling efficiency. Based on Double-HelixTM technology the conductor path is optimized for high field uniformity for accelerator magnets with arbitrary multipole order or combined function magnets. Advanced machining technologies, enable unprecedented magnet miniaturization. These magnets can operate at temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius and can sustain high radiation levels. |

MO6PFP065 | Fast Ramped Superferric Prototype Magnets of the FAIR Project – First Test Results and Design Update | dipole, synchrotron, cryogenics, magnet-design | 277 |
|
|||
The 100 Tm synchrotron SIS 100 is the core component of the international Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) to be built in Darmstadt. An intensive R&D period was conducted to design 3m long 2T dipoles providing a stable ramp rate of 4 T/s within an usable aperture of 115mm x 60mm with minimum AC losses, high field quality and good long term operation stability. Three full size dipole - and one quadrupole magnets were built. Recently the first dipole magnet, produced by Babcock Noell, was intensively tested at the GSI cryogenic test facility. We present the measured characteristic parameters: training behaviour, the field quality along the load line for DC operation as well as on the ramp, AC losses, and the cryogenic operation limits. We compare them to the calculated results as well as to the requested design performance. Based on the obtained results we discuss adjustments for the final design. |

MO6PFP067 | Magnetic Field Measurements of HD2, a High Field Nb3Sn Dipole Magnet | dipole, sextupole, quadrupole, simulation | 283 |
|
|||
Funding: U.S. Department of Energy The Superconducting Magnet Program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has designed and tested HD2, a 1 m long Nb3Sn accelerator-type dipole with a 42 mm clear bore. HD2 is based on a simple block-type coil geometry with flared ends, and represents a step towards the development of cost-effective accelerator quality magnets operating in the range of 13-15 T. The design was optimized to minimize geometric harmonics and to address iron saturation and conductor magnetization effects. Field quality was measured during recent cold tests. The measured harmonics are presented and compared to the design values. |

MO6PFP073 | PAMELA Magnets - Design and Performance | dipole, injection, octupole, proton | 301 |
|

Funding: This work was supported by EPSRC grant EP/E032869/1. PAMELA is a design study of a non-scaling FFAG for hadron therapy aiming to deliver 250 MeV protons and 400 MeV/u carbon ions. This paper outlines the general magnet design required for the 250 MeV proton case. The magnet design is challenging because of the combination of required field strength (up to 4T), geometric constraints (the magnets need to be short) and large beam aperture (up to 160 mm). All magnets are combined function magnets with dipole, quadrupole, sextupole and octupole field components of good field quality. |

The storage ring vacuum chambers are made of extruded aluminium and the bending magnet photons are intercepted at discrete photon absorbers. The design of the storage ring vacuum system will be presented, with emphasis on vacuum chamber design and fabrication, pumping arrangements, photon beam tracking and absorber positioning, and interface with other accelerator systems.

TU5RFP030 | Universal Mode Operation of the BESSY II UE112 APPLE Undulator | undulator, polarization, electron, simulation | 1162 |
|
|||
The UE112 APPLE undulator operated at BESSY II covers the low photon energies down to the visible regime. Below 100eV the state of polarization is significantly modified by the optical components of the beamline. Moving independently three magnet rows of the APPLE undulator (universal mode) any state of polarization can be produced which permits the compensation of the beamline effects. Thus, circularly polarized light can be provided at the experiment. The dynamic multipoles of the universal mode can be compensated with flat wires which are glued onto the vacuum chamber. Simulations and first experiments with the electron beam related to the dynamic multipoles and their compensation are presented. |

WE6PFP075 | Effect of the Non-Linear Magnetic Fields on the Emittance Growth in the ATF Extraction Line | emittance, extraction, simulation, quadrupole | 2670 |
|
|||
Since several years, the vertical beam emittance measured in the Extraction Line (EXT) of the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK, has been significantly larger than that measured in the damping ring (DR) itself. The EXT line that transports the beam to the ATF2 Final Focus beam line has been rebuilt, but the extraction itself remains in most part unchanged, with the extracted beam transported off-axis horizontally in two of the quadrupoles, beyond the linear region for one of them. A few other nearby magnets have also modelled or measured non-linearity. In case of a residual vertical beam displacement, this can result in increased vertical emittance through coupling between the two transverse planes. Tracking studies as well as measurements have been carried out to study this effect and the induced sensitivity of beam optical parameters to the trajectory at injection, in view of deriving tolerances for reproducible and stable operation. |

TH5PFP049 | Acceleration of Symplectic Integrator with Graphical Processing Units | lattice, dynamic-aperture, target, resonance | 3312 |
|
|||
The study of nonlinear effects in storage rings requires massively parallel particle tracking over a range of initial conditions. Stream processing architectures trade cache size for greatly increased floating point throughput in the case of regular memory access patterns. The symplectic integrator of Tracy-II* has been implemented in CUDA** on the nVidia stream processor and used to calculate dynamic apertures and frequency maps for the Diamond low-alpha lattice. To facilitate integration with existing workflows the the lattice description of Accelerator Toolbox*** is re-used. The new code is demonstrated to achieve a two orders of magnitude increase in tracking speed over a single CPU core and benchmarks of the performance and accuracy against other codes are presented. *J. Bengtsson, Tracy-2 User's Manual, Feb 1997. |

TH5PFP050 | Fast Multipole Approximation of 3D Self Fields Effect in High Brightness Electron Beams | simulation, target, space-charge, electron | 3315 |
|
|||
In this paper the Fast Multipole Approximation is described with regard to the problem of modelling self fields effects in low emittance, high brightness electron beams of interest for future accelerators and light sources. This well established technique is known to scale as O(N) or O(N log N) (depending on details of the implementation) with the number of particles involved in the simulation. Performances and results as a standalone technique or as a method for for fast calculation of boundary conditions together with other approaches based on PDEs are discussed, along with details of a parallel implementation in the tracking code Tredi. |

TH5PFP057 | Measured and Calculated Field Properties of the SIS 100 Magnets Described Using Elliptic and Toroidal Multipoles | dipole, synchrotron, antiproton, vacuum | 3336 |
|
|||
The first full size superconducting dipole magnets for the SIS 100 Tm synchrotron were built and tested. The achieved magnetic field has been measured with a rotating coil probe. An intensive Finite Element R&D, necessitated by the used superconducting cable as well as by the complex mechanical coil and yoke structure, allows calculating the field with high accuracy. Elliptic multipoles were used to describe the field within the whole aperture of the vacuum chamber. As the final design for the SIS 100 dipoles is curved, we developed toroidal multipoles describing the field within a curved magnet, and enabling us to interpret the measurement of a rotating coil probe within such magnets. We describe the performance of the magnetic measurement system, present the measured field properties and compare them to the calculated ones. |

TH5PFP058 | RFQ Particle Dynamic Simulation Development | rfq, simulation, acceleration | 3339 |
|
|||
For the development of high energy and high duty cycle RFQs accurate particle dynamic simulation tools are important optimize designs especially in high current applications. To describe the external fields in RFQs the Poisson equation has to be solved taking the boundary conditions into account. In the newly developed subroutines this is done by using a finite difference method on a grid. The results of this improvement are shown and compared to the old two term and multipol expansions. |

TH5PFP059 | Numerical Calculation of Wake Fields in Structures with Conductive Walls | vacuum, wakefield, electromagnetic-fields, dipole | 3342 |
|
|||
Based on TE/TM splitting algorithm a new (longitudinally) dispersion-free numerical scheme is developed to evaluate the wake fields in structures with finite wall conductivity. The impedance boundary condition in this scheme is modeled by the one dimensional wire connected to boundary cells. A good agreement of the numerical simulations with the analytical results is obtained. The developed code allows to calculate multipole wake potentials of arbitrary shaped geometries with walls of finite high conductivity. |

TH5PFP079 | Statistical Analysis of Multipole Components in the Magnetic Field of the RHIC Arc Regions | dipole, quadrupole, sextupole, interaction-region | 3386 |
|
|||
Funding: Work performed under the auspices of the US DOE. The existence of multipolar components in the dipole and quadrupole magnets is one of the factors limiting the beam stability in the RHIC operations. Therefore, the statistical properties of the non-linear fields are crucial for understanding the beam behavior and for achieving the superior performance in RHIC. In an earlier work*, the field quality analysis of the RHIC interaction regions (IR) was presented. Furthermore, a procedure for developing non-linear IR models constructed from measured multipolar data of RHIC IR magnets was described. However, the field quality in the regions outside of the RHIC IR regions had not yet been addressed. In this paper, we present the statistical analysis of multipolar components in the magnetic fields of the RHIC arc regions. The emphasis is on the lower order components, especially the sextupole in the arc dipole and the 12-pole in the quadrupole magnets, since they are shown to have the strongest effects on the beam stability. Finally, the inclusion of the measured multipolar components data of RHIC arc regions and their statistical properties into tracking models is discussed. *J. Beebe-Wang and A.

TH5PFP083 | Eddy Current Shielding by Electrically Thick Vacuum Chambers | vacuum, feedback, simulation, power-supply | 3398 |
|
|||
We investigate AC response of accelerator vacuum chambers to external magnetic field, when the wall thickness is comparable or greater than the skin depth. Good agreement was established between experimental measurements, analytical modeling, and ANSYS simulations. Based on the results we suggest a transfer function model for electrically thick vacuum chambers with arbitrary transverse cross-section. |

TH5PFP090 | Fringe Field Properties in Magnets with Multipole or Mid-Plane Symmetry | 3419 | |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by the US DOE Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics under grant DE-FG02-06ER84508. The design of an accelerator with a large energy acceptance requires careful consideration of fringe-field effects*. This applies particularly to the design of fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerators. We consider magnets in straight and curved geometries, and with multipole or mid-plane symmetries. The longitudinal magnet profiles we consider include a simple hyperbolic tangent and a more realistic six-parameter Enge function. We show that when the fields are modeled using power series expansions in a transverse parameter, the domain of convergence is determined by the fringe-field decay length. We also demonstrate the use of these models in the tracking code PTC**. *M. Berz, B. Erdelyi, and K. Makino, "Fringe field effects in small rings of large acceptance", PRSTAB 3, 124001, 2000 |

TH6PFP038 | Determination of the Chromaticity of the TI 8 Transfer Line Based on Kick Response Measurements | optics, quadrupole, injection, controls | 3787 |
|
|||
The 3 km long TI 8 transfer line is used to transfer 450 GeV proton and ion beams from the SPS to LHC collider. As part of a detailed optics investigation program the chromaticity of the transfer line was measured. Kick response data of the transfer line was recorded for various extraction energy offsets in the SPS. The quadrupolar and sextupolar field errors over the whole transfer line dipoles, a systematic error of the main quadrupole strengths and the initial momentum error were estimated by a fit. Using the updated model, the chromaticity of the line was then calculated. |

TH6PFP064 | Touschek Lifetime Calculations for NSLS-II | lattice, scattering, closed-orbit, damping | 3853 |
|
|||
The Touschek effect limits the lifetime for NSLS-II. The basic mechanism is Coulomb scattering resulting in a longitudinal momentum outside the momentum aperture. The momentum aperture results from a combination of the initial betatron oscillations after the scatter and the non-linear properties determining the resultant stability. We find that higher order multipole errors may reduce the momentum aperture, particularly for scattered particles with energy loss. The resultant drop in Touschek lifetime is minimized, however, due to less scattering in the dispersive regions. We describe these mechanisms, and present calculations for NSLS-II using a realistic lattice model including damping wigglers and engineering tolerances. |
|||
TH6PFP065 | Impact of Higher-Order Multipole Errors in the NSLS-II Quadrupoles and Sextupoles on Dynamic and Momentum Aperture | dynamic-aperture, quadrupole, sextupole, lattice | 3856 |
|
|||
Successful operation of NSLS-II requires sufficient dynamic aperture for injection, as well as momentum aperture for Touschek lifetime. We explore the dependence of momentum and dynamic aperture on higher-order multipole field errors in the quadrupoles and sextupoles. We add random and systematic multipole errors to the quadrupoles and sextupoles and compute the effect on dynamic aperture. We find that the strongest effect is at negative momentum, due to larger closed orbit excursions. Adding all the errors based on the NSLS-II specifications, we find adequate dynamic and momentum aperture. |

TH6PFP070 | Effect of the Measured Magnetic Multipoles in the ALBA Lattice | lattice, sextupole, dynamic-aperture, quadrupole | 3868 |
|
|||
The Spanish synchrotron light source ALBA is in the process of installation, with the large majority of components already manufactured and delivered. Among them, the magnets of the storage ring. As part of the acceptance process of the magnets, a campaign to measure the quality of them (magnetic length, effective bending and focusing, high order multipolar components) has been performed in-house and in the manufacturer. The results of this measures have been applied to the model of the storage ring, analyzing the effects in the performance (lifetime, dynamic aperture, orbit, etc). The results of the study confirm the quality of the magnet's design and manufacturing as well as the performance of the lattice. |

TH6PFP089 | Beam Transverse Issues at the SNS Linac | quadrupole, beam-losses, linac, resonance | 3913 |
|
|||
Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac system is designed to deliver 1 GeV pulsed H- beams up to 1.56 MW for neutron production. As beam power was increased from 10 kW to 660 kW in less than three years, beam loss in the accelerator systems particularly in the superconducting linac (SCL), became more significant. In the previous studies, unexpected beam loss in the SCL was mainly attributed to longitudinal problems. However, our most recent simulations have focused on beam transverse effects. These include multipole components from magnet imperfections and dipole corrector windings of the linac quadrupoles. The effect of these multipoles coupled with other errors will be discussed. |

TH6PFP099 | Fast, Accurate Calculation of Dynamical Maps from Magnetic Field Data Using Generalised Gradients | wiggler, synchrotron, synchrotron-radiation, radiation | 3943 |
|
|||
Analytic descriptions of arbitrary magnetic fields can be calculated from the generalised gradients* of the on-axis field. Using magnetic field data, measured or computed on the surface of a cylinder, the generalised gradients can be calculated by solving Laplace's equation to find the three-dimensional multipole expansion of the field within the cylinder. After a suitable transformation, this description can be combined with a symplectic integrator allowing the transfer map to be calculated. A new tracking code is under development in C++, which makes use of a differential algebra class to calculate the transfer map. The code has been heavily optimised to give a fast, accurate calculation of the transfer map for an arbitrary field. The multipole nature of the field description gives additional insights into fringe-field and pseudo-multipole effects and allows a deeper understanding of the beam dynamics. *Venturini M. and Dragt A., NIM Phys.

TH6PFP100 | Computation of Transfer Maps from Surface Data with Applications to LHC Quadrupoles and ILC Damping Ring Wigglers | damping, quadrupole, wiggler | 3946 |
|
|||
Funding: DOE grant DEFG02-96ER40949 Transfer maps for magnetic elements in storage and damping rings can depend sensitively on nonlinear fringe-field and high-order-multipole effects. The inclusion of these effects requires a detailed and realistic model of the interior and fringe magnetic fields, including their high spatial derivatives. A collection of surface fitting methods has been developed for extracting this information accurately from 3-dimensional magnetic field data on a grid, as provided by various 3-dimensional finite element field codes. The virtue of surface methods is that they exactly satisfy the Maxwell equations and are relatively insensitive to numerical noise in the data. These techniques can be used to compute, in Lie-algebraic form, realistic transfer maps for LHC final-focus quadrupoles and for the proposed ILC Damping Ring wigglers. An exactly-soluble but numerically challenging model field is used to provide a rigorous collection of performance benchmarks. |

FR5PFP026 | Beam Transport Line with a Scaling Type FFAG Magnet | optics, beam-transport, emittance, focusing | 4360 |
|
|||
A scaling fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator provides large momentum acceptance despite of constant field in time. Optical functions are nearly the same for large momentum range. We have designed a straight beam transport (BT) line using a scaling FFAG type magnet which has a field profile of x^k, where x is the horizontal coordinate and k is the field index. This BT line has very large momentum acceptance as well, for example ±50%, and optical functions do not practically depends on momentum. We also designed a dispersion suppressor at the end by the combination of a unit cell with different field index k so that the momentum dependence of orbits should be eliminated at the exit. An obvious application of this design is the BT line between FFAG accelerator and gantry of a particle therapy facility. However, we also consider it for the transport of muon beams, which have large emittance and momentum spread. This could be an alternative to the conventional BT line with solenoid or quadrupole because of the strong focusing nature of quarupole and the large momentum acceptance like solenoid. |

FR5PFP072 | Command Line Interface to Tracy Library | lattice, insertion, insertion-device, wiggler | 4476 |
|

We describe a set of tools that interface to the Tracy particle tracking library. The state of the machine including misalignments, multipole errors and corrector settings is captured in a 'flat' file, or 'machine' file. There are three types of tools designed around this flat file: 1) flat file creation tools. 2) flat file manipulation tools. 3) tracking tools. We describe the status of these tools, and give some examples of how they have been used in the design process for NSLS-II. |

FR5PFP074 | Self-Consistent Parallel Multi Bunch Beam-Beam Simulation Using a Grid-Multipole Method | simulation, space-charge, interaction-region, collider | 4482 |
|
|||
The simulation code COMBI has been developed to enable the study of coherent beam-beam effects in the full collision scenario of the LHC, with multiple bunches interacting at multiple crossing points over many turns. The parallel version of COMBI was first implemented using a soft-Gaussian collision model which entails minimal communication between worker processes. Recently we have extended the code to a fully self-consistent collision model using a Grid-Multipole method, which allows worker processes to exchange charge and field information in a compact form which minimizes communication overhead. In this paper we describe the Grid-Multipole technique used and its adaptation to the parallel environment through pre- and post-processing of charge and grid data. Performance measurements in multi-core and Myrinet-cluster environments will be given. We will also present our estimates of the potential for very large-scale simulations on massively-parallel hardware, in which the number of simulated bunches ultimately approaches the actual LHC bunch population. |

FR5REP116 | A Compact High-Resolution Isobar Separator for the CARIBU Project | quadrupole, focusing, ion, optics | 5050 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported between the UChicago, Argonne, LLC and the Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. We have designed a compact high-resolution isobar separator for CARIBU* at the ATLAS accelerator facility at Argonne National Laboratory. Fission fragments from a 252Cf source are thermalized, cooled, and accelerated to 50 keV. The small longitudinal emittance of this cooled beam allows the use of pure magnetic dispersion for mass analysis. Using two 60° bending magnets, two electrostatic quadrupole doublets, and two electrostatic quadrupole singlets in a symmetric combination, a first-order mass resolution of 22,400 is calculated. Aberration correction up to 5th order is accomplished by means of two electrostatic hexapole singlets and a 48-rod electrostatic multipole lens with hexapole, octupole, decapole, and dodecapole components. The fields with critical tolerances are the quadrupole singlets (±1x10-3) and the hexapole component of the multipole (±2x10-3). Ion-optics calculations were performed using the program COSY INFINITY**. The resulting ion trajectories and mass spectra will be presented. All electrostatic elements have been constructed, and delivery of the magnets is expected in early 2009. A progress report on installation and commissioning will be presented. *See invited talk by R. Pardo at this conference. |
