  A high current cyclotron C-80 with the energy of extracted proton beam of 40-80 MeV and the current up to 200 mkA has been constructed at PNPI (Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute). Presently the work is in progress for external proton beam adjustment. The main goal of the C-80 is production of medical radionuclides for diagnostics and therapy. This cyclotron is also intended for treatment of ophthalmologic diseases by irradiation of malignant eye formation. At the beam of C-80 the radioisotope complex RIC-80 (Radioactive Isotopes at cyclotron C-80), has been designed, which ensures obtaining sources of a high activity practically for the whole list of medical radionuclides produced at accelerators. An essential peculiarity of the RIC-80 is the use of the mass-separator that will allow the production of separated high purity radionuclides very important for medicine purposes. Presently different target prototypes for the production of radionuclides at the RIC-80 are being developed. The results of different target material tests for production of radioisotopes 67Cu, 82Sr, 223, 224Ra and others have been presented.

In frames of Russian in-kind contribution to Europe-an XFEL, INR in cooperation with DESY is responsible for Transverse Deflecting Systems (TDS) for special beam diagnostic in the XFEL linac. Three TDS have been developed: TDS INJ in the Injector, TDS BC1 in the Accelerator tunnel after Bunch Compressor 1 and TDS BC1 after Bunch Compressor 2. Each system in-cludes S-band disk-loaded deflecting structure (DLS), waveguide system, klystron, pulse transformer, modu-lator and control system. TDS INJ has been built, as-sembled in the Injector building and tested. It is used to monitor the bunch length, longitudinal phase space and slice emittance now. Exceptionally small, exceed-ing expectations, slice emittance of electron bunch was measured using TDS INJ during the XFEL Injector commissioning. Three structures for TDS BC1 and TDS BC2 as well as the waveguide systems have been built, tested and TDS BC2 part installed in the XFEL tunnel.

Recently we have reported on axisymmetric dielectric concentrator for Cherenkov radiation that focuses almost the whole radiation in the vicinity of the given point (focus) located on the trajectory of the charge*. Particularly, we have shown that this structure can increase the field up to two orders of magnitude. In this report we continue investigation of this concentrating target and analyse in more detail the field near the focal point depending on parameters of the target.

TUPSA051 Form-factor Determination of an Arbitrary Bunch Sequence for the Coherent Radiation Calculation radiation, factory, electron, target 322
 
  • D.A. Shkitov, A.E. Harisova

  It is well known that the coherent effect occur when charged particles in a bunch radiate in phase. This is accompanied by a quadratic increase in the radiation intensity and significantly influences the radiation spectrum. The coherent radiation is characterized by a form factor, which is the coefficient mainly depending on the ratio of bunch dimensions to the observed radiation wave length. The form factors will be different for the synchrotron and transition radiation because of their different nature of radiation. Now electron accelerators that produced beams with a sub-picosecond bunch length and a picosecond distance between them already exist. Through the appearance of interference between radiation from such a sequence of bunches, the total intensity is no longer equal to the sum of radiation from each bunches. For this reason, it is essential to determine the form factor of an arbitrary electron bunch sequence. Herein the uniform bunch distribution will be the special case. In this report we describe an approach to obtaining the form factor of the arbitrary bunch sequence.

At the present time at ITEP there is a possibility to investigate the biological mechanisms of the low energy protons on living systems on linear accelerator I-2. The unique high current linear accelerator allows to obtain 20 MeV intense proton beams. They could be used for the radiobiological research in a wide range of absorbed doses and for different cell types. Currently some preliminary experiments were made to specify diagnostic equipment required for further investigations. This work presents the main results on the proton beam parameters measurements such as beam current, beam cross section dimension as well as the measurements of the absorbed dose and depth dose distribution using different types of detectors.

THPSC049 Dielectric Chart as a Tool for Diagnosis of Dielectric Materials dipole, impedance, operation, polarization 641
 
  • V.A. Klemeshev, A.G. Karpov
    St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, Russia
 
  One of the most informative diagnostic methods dielectric materials is the analysis of the complex permittivity depending on the frequency of the electric field*. Dielectric chart is the dependence of the imaginary part of the complex permittivity of its real part. Thus, difference between the real dielectric chart from the reference or change it during the operation can be a means of diagnostics of dielectric materials. Dielectric chart in the classical theory of Debye is a semicircle with its center lying on the real axis. For solid dielectric the dielectric chart deviation from the semicircle can be quite large, but it still remains a circular arc. This deviation is characterized by parameter a (in the case of the Debye a=0). To clarify the physical meaning of the deviations of the experimental data on the Debye theory, expressed in the value of a, several possible causes have been considered: the effect hindered reorientation of dipoles, the effect of the non-sphericity of the molecules, the complex nature of viscosity. However, the main cause of deviations, in our opinion, is the availability of the distribution of relaxation times around a central relaxation time, in particular, due to defects in the sample. Gaussian distribution width increases rapidly with increasing a. In this paper we propose an algorithm for calculating a, allowing you to quickly determine the condition of the sample on a single parameter.

In order to design and construct new modern accelerators with high brightness beams, the development new non-destructive diagnostic tools for accelerated beams is required. Diffraction radiation (DR) is generated by charged particles moving in the vicinity of the conductive target. The DR technique is used successfully for non-destructive diagnostics for ultrarelativistic beams*,**. For non-relativistic and moderately relativistic charged particles beams (g ~ a few tens or less, g is the Lorentz factor) non-destructive DR diagnostics can be applied also if a beam intensity is high enough due to coherent effect. Intensity of coherent radiation is proportional to the squared bunch population. In this report estimations of non-destructive bunch diagnostics possibility based on DR for the beam parameters of a few machines are presented. Those estimations were performed for electron machine: PITZ project*** and laser wakefield accelerator****, and moreover for ESS proton linear accelerator*****. First evaluation of whole wavelength range DR from 4-mm-slit target gave about 56 mJ from one macro-pulse of ESS accelerator. Amplification of DR spectral-angular intensity due to coherent effect will be in N = 108 times than incoherent radiation from the same beam, where N is the bunch population.

  The Collector Ring (CR) is a dedicated storage ring in the FAIR project, where the main emphasis is laid on the effective stochastic precooling of intense secondary beams of stable ions, rare isotopes or antiprotons. A complex operation scheme with several types of operational cycles with beams in CR starting from injection, RF gymnastics, stochastic cooling then, and finishing to extraction is foreseen. Beam parameters changes significantly during the cycles. This demands an exceptional high dynamic range for the beam instrumentation. Non-destructive methods are mandatory for high currents as well as for the low current secondary beams due to the low repetition rate. Precise measurements of all beam parameters and automatic steering with short response time are required due to the necessary exploitation of the full ring acceptances. An overview of the challenges and solutions for various diagnostic installations will be given.

In The Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics the accelerator-based source of epithermal neutrons was invented and now operates to be used in the boron neutron capture therapy. Neutrons on the facility are generated during the threshold reaction 7Li(p, n)7Be which occurs when the proton beam is thrown on the lithium target. To control the neutron output it is necessary to monitor the parameters of the accelerated proton beam. The spatial distribution of the accelerated proton beam was measured exactly on the lithium target. Due to the interaction of protons and lithium there is an accumulation of a radioactive isotope of beryllium takes place. After experiments about neutrons generation it seems possible to track an area of beryllium storage and then restore the proton beam profile. The monitoring of gamma-quants with the energy of 0,477 MeV arising during the beryllium decay was carried out via the gamma-spectrometric complex. The main part of this complex is NaI-scintillation detector, which was pre-calibrated with energy. As a result of such kind of diagnostic the profile of the beam, its shape and characteristic size were determined and the results are depicted in this paper. Afterwards it could be used for an estimation of the total neutrons flux, its quantity, also to assess the target state and restore the proton beam profile.

There is the accelerator-tandem at the Nuclear physics institute in Novosibirsk which is suitable for malignancies treatment such as glioblastoma and melanoma using BNCT methods. There are different gamma spectrometry diagnostics which apply under this project. One of these is used to determine the parameters of the neutron beam. The method is to irradiate a set of activation foils with neutrons. Then measure the gamma-spectrum of foils using gamma detector. Based on these data it can be calculated the activity of foil, as well as the amount and the energy of neutrons. For data processing of these diagnostics there was developed a software which is used for convenient display of gamma-spectrometer data and the activity of the foil. Software allows setting a canal calibration and the sensitivity calibration which is needed to calculate the foil activity.
