MOXMH03 | Status of Accelerator Complex NICA | 12 |
|
||
The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction in JINR. The NICA goals are providing of colliding beams for studies of hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The accelerator facility of collider NICA consists of following elements: acting Alvarez-type linac LU-20 of light ions at energy 5 MeV/u, constructed a new light ion linac at ion energy 7 MeV/u with additional acceleration section for protons at energy 13 MeV, acting heavy ion linac HILAC with RFQ and IH DTL sections at energy 3.2 MeV/u, superconducting booster synchrotron at energy up 600 MeV/u, acting superconducting synchrotron Nuclotron at gold ion energy 4.5 GeV/n and two collider storage rings with two interaction points. The status of acceleration complex NICA is under discussion. | ||

TUZMH04 | Status of the Nuclotron | 49 |
|
||
Since last RuPAC two runs of the Nuclotron operation were performed. The run #54 performed in February ' March of 2017 was dedicated to polarized beam acceleration. One of the achievements was the acceleration of polarized proton beam performed at the Nuclotron for the first time. During the run #55 in February- April of 2018 the Nuclotron provided heavy ion beams for first fixed target experiments in the frame of the NICA scientific program. These and other results of the facility operation and development are presented. | ||

WECAMH02 | Light Ion Linear Accelerator up to 7 AMeV for NICA | 68 |
|
||
In the frame of the NICA ion collider upgrade a new light ion frontend linac (LILac) for protons and ions with a mass to charge ration of up to 3 will be built. LILac will consist out of 3 parts: 1. a normal conducting Linac up to 7 AMeV, 2. a normal conducting proton energy upgrade up to 13 AMeV, 3. a superconducting section. The normal conducting Linac up to 7 AMeV will be built in collaboration between JINR and Bevatech GmbH. The technical design of LILac up to 7 AMeV is discussed in this paper. | ||

WECAMH06 | Progress of the NICA Complex Injection Facility Development | 75 |
|
||
The new accelerator complex Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under development and construction at JINR, Dubna now. This complex is assumed to operate using two injectors: the Alvarez type linac LU-20 as injector of light ions, polarized protons and deuterons and a new linac HILAc - injector of heavy ions beams. The modernization of Alvarez-type linac began in 2016 by commissioning of new RFQ foreinjector, and in 2017 the new buncher in front of linac has been installed. The first Nuclotron run with new buncher was performed in January 2018 with beams of Xe+, Ar+ and Kr+. The beam produced by KRION-6T ion source were successfully injected and accelerated in the Nuclotron ring during the last run #55. Main results of the last Nuclotron run and plans for future development of NICA injection complex are presented in this paper. | ||

TUPSA23 | Test Bench for the NICA Stochastic Cooling Elements | 191 |
|
||
Stochastic cooling is one of the crucial NICA collider subsystems. Cooling efficiency depends on quality of system elements. A new test bench has been created at JINR for incoming control of pickups, kickers and amplifiers, tuning and adjustment of the notch filter, etc. The description of the test bench is given. Methodic of the measurements that should be done on the test bench are discussed. | ||

TUPSA24 | Test Bench Measurements for the NICA Stochastic Cooling Pickup and Kicker | 194 |
|
||
A new test bench for measurements of Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) stochastic cooling elements has been created at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). The following measurements for NICA stochastic cooling pickups/kickers based on Ring-slot coupler structure has been provided: impedance dependence on azimuthal and longitudinal loop positions, electrical center position behavior as a function of frequency and standing wave ratio (SWR) of the kicker. The results of the listed measurements are given. | ||

QWR and HWR SC Cavities R&D for New Superconducting Linac for JINR Nuclotron-NICA Injection | |
|
||
A superconducting or partially superconducting linac is discussed as new injector for Nuclotron-NICA complex. New linac will accelerate protons up to 25 MeV (and up to 50 MeV at the second stage of the project) and light ions to ~7.5 MeV/u. The progress in R&D of QWR and HWR superconducting cavities is discussed in this report. The design of QWR and its normal conducting copper model is finished and PTI NANB is ready to manufacture of the prototype. Two designs of HWR were discussed: one with a cylindrical central conductor and another with the conical one. The electrodynamics design of HWR had been finished before now but it should be corrected taking into account some manufacture problems. Current results of the development of the RF coupler and the test cryostat will also present . | ||

TUPSA02 | Correction of the Magnetic Field in the NICA Collider | 149 |
|
||
The magnetic field correction systems in the optimized lattice of the NICA collider are considered. The dipole, normal and skew quadrupoles, sextupole and octupole additional windings are placed in the corrector elements to compensate separatly the alignment errors, betatron tune shifts, betatron coupling, chromaticity and non-linear fields. The overall correction effect should provide the required beam and luminosity lifetime of the collider. | ||
