Study of non-destructive slow beam extraction method in particle accelerator

Nagayama, Shota; Harada, Hiroyuki; Shimogawa, Tetsushi*; Yamada, Ippei; Chimura, Motoki; Yamamoto, Kazami; Kinsho, Michikazu

Proceedings of 19th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.503 - 507, 2023/01

Synchrotron accelerators realize physics experiments and radiation cancer treatment using the slow extraction technique, in which beams are stored in the ring and gradually delivered. We have devised and are currently developing a "non-destructive electrostatic septum" based on a new method, which in principle cannot be solved by conventional methods and is a cause of equipment failure and output limitation. It is ideal to generate a force distribution similar to a staircase function with discontinuous gaps at the boundary. In this presentation, we will show the calculation method for optimizing the electrode and wire configuration to generate a Lorentz force with a distribution similar to a staircase function in vacuum, and the calculation results of the beam breakup due to the generated Lorentz force. The compact proof-of-principle machine developed for the ongoing demonstration of this method will also be introduced.

Beam emittance growth due to the strong space-charge field at low energy of a high-intensity ion linac and its mitigation using an octupole magnetic field

In the low-energy region of a high-intensity ion linac, a strong space-charge field causes a rapid beam emittance growth over a short distance of only few meters. The beam emittance growth leads to a beam loss and the machine activation raising a serious issue for regular maintenance of the accelerator component and beam power ramp up. In this work, we studied the mechanism of beam emittance growth due to the space-charge field based on three-dimensional particle-tracking simulation and theoretical considerations. Numerical simulations done for the high-intensity linac at J-PARC shows that the nonlinear terms in the space-charge field directly cause a beam emittance growth and beam halo formation. Then, we also propose a method to mitigate the beam emittance growth by using an octupole magnetic field, which arises as one of the nonlinear terms in the space-charge field. By applying this method in the simulation, we have succeeded mitigating the beam emittance growth.

High intensity beam studies for the new MEBT1 design

Okabe, Kota; Liu, Y.*; Otani, Masashi*; Moriya, Katsuhiro; Shibata, Takanori*; Chimura, Motoki*; Hirano, Koichiro; Oguri, Hidetomo; Kinsho, Michikazu

To realize more stable operation of the J-PARC accelerators, we have a re-design plan of an MEBT1 (Medium Energy Beam Transport). At the J-PARC Linac, the MEBT1 has transverse and longitudinal beam matching section for the DTLs. However there are some locally activated spots in DTL area at the current beam power level. To reduce beam loss during a beam acceleration at the DTLs is a most important task for a stable user operation. The first thing we should do is investigation a connection between beam quality in the MEBT1 and parameters of the upstream hardware. In this presentation, we will report a high intensity beam study results at the MEBT1.

Evaluation of beam-loss suppression method by nonlinear space charge force in a high intensity linac

Chimura, Motoki*; Harada, Hiroyuki; Moriya, Katsuhiro; Okabe, Kota; Kinsho, Michikazu

Proceedings of 16th Annual Meeting of Particle Accelerator Society of Japan (Internet), p.728 - 732, 2019/07

The increase of space charge effect in high intensity beam causes the increase of the beam-loss. Beam loss limits beam intensity for accelerator equipment activation. Therefore, it is important to suppress the emittance growth due to the space charge effect. I focused on the low energy region in the linac where the space charge effect becomes remarkable. In order to identify the origin of the emittance growth due to the effect, a simulation was performed with a 3-D particle-in-cell simulation code, and evaluated the influence of the effects in the J-PARC medium energy beam transport line (MEBT1) entrance to DTL exit. As a result, it was confirmed that distortion of phase space distribution occurred due to nonlinear space charge force and that leading to emittance growth. I proposed to suppress the emittance growth by using an octupole magnet that gives nonlinear force to the beam. We report the new method and simulation results.

Beam intensity in a high-intensity proton accelerator is an important parameter in user experimental facilities. Beam emittance growth and beam loss due to space charge effect make a limit of beam power from the view point of high activation at devices. In order to identify the source of beam emittance growth due to space charge effect, we performed beam simulation by using a model of J-PARC Linac. As the result, nonlinear component of space charge force causes a strain of beam distribution and emittance growth. We proposed a new method for suppression of the nonlinear component by using multipole magnet and simulated the method in our model. As the result, we indicated that the growth is suppressed by using the nonlinear field. In my presentation, we report the new method and simulation results.

High intensity beam also increases the beam loss, which originates from the space charge effect, so that the intensity is limited from the maintenance point of view. In the early acceleration region where the space charge field is very strong, its nonlinearity causes a rapid emittance increase over a short distance. Although this emittance growth has a small effect on the activation at that point, it causes an increase in the beam loss after that point. In this study, we propose a new method to suppress this emittance growth by compensating the nonlinear term of the space charge field by inducing a nonlinear octupole magnetic field, and perform a beam simulation of the J-PARC linac model using the IMPACT. As a result, it was confirmed that the expansion of the beam distribution in the outer core and the beam loss was suppressed. In this presentation, the results of the space charge compensation will be reported and the experimental plan will be discussed.

In low-energy regions where space-charge fields become pronounced, such as in high-intensity proton accelerators, beam quality deteriorates rapidly over short distances of a few meters. Simulations in the 3 MeV beam transport line of the J-PARC linac show that the emittance increases by more than 50% at a short distance of 3 m. Therefore, we proposed a method to compensate a space charge force by using an octupole magnetic field and showed that the emittance increase can be suppressed from the simulation. We have developed a new coupled magnet to realize a higher quality and intensity beam by applying this method to an actual accelerator. In this talk, we will report the design and beam simulation results of the new coupled magnets that can generate quadrupole and octupole magnetic fields simultaneously.
