Beam loss reduction by magnetic shielding using beam pipes and bellows of soft magnetic materials

Kamiya, Junichiro   ; Ogiwara, Norio; Hotchi, Hideaki  ; Hayashi, Naoki  ; Kinsho, Michikazu  

One of the main sources of beam loss in high power accelerators is unwanted stray magnetic fields from magnets near the beam line, which can distort the beam orbit. The most effective way to shield such magnetic fields is to perfectly surround the beam region without any gaps with a soft magnetic high permeability material. This leads to the manufacture of vacuum chambers (beam pipes and bellows) with soft magnetic materials. Using this heat treatment, the ratio of the integrated magnetic flux density along the beam orbit between the inside and outside of the beam pipe and bellows became small enough to suppress beam orbit distortion. The outgassing rate of the materials with this heat treatment was reduced by one order magnitude compared to that without heat treatment. By installing the beam pipes and bellows of soft magnetic materials as part of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron beam line, the closed orbit distortion was reduced by more than 80%. In addition, a 95.5% beam survival ratio was achieved by this COD improvement.
