Slow extraction method of synchrotrons is used in nuclear and particle physics experiments, radiation therapy, and many other applications. In the slow extraction process, beam loss at the septum electrode, which separates the extracted beam from the circumferential side, induces activation and damage to the device. To solve this problem, we have devised an electric field measurement device named "Beam separation test device" to evaluate the two-dimensional electric field distribution of the nondestructive electrostatic septum that we are developing. The device consists of a prototype septum, horizontal and vertical wire scanners, and an electron gun installed on a movable stage fixed to a drive unit. This device measures the electric field by injecting an electron beam into the electric field and measuring the bending angle of the beam orbit. In developing this device, an additional optics system was designed to make a narrow electron beam to improve the measurement accuracy of the electric field distribution. In addition, we designed a beam dump that reduces secondary electron emission by utilizing energy loss when particles collide with materials. According to calculations of secondary electron emission, this beam dump can reduce secondary-emission into the chamber by up to 98%.

We have been developing "Non-destructive electrostatic septum" for a slow extraction. This septum has multiple electrodes placed around the region without the beam hitting and separate the beam by its electric field. To evaluate its electric field, we have built a prototype septum and a test machine, which consists of an electron gun and monitors. This test machine can measure the electric field indirectly by using a narrow electron beam. The experiment results of prototype septum is good agreement with the calculation one. However, this electric field distribution is not enough to separate the beam. A step function-like electric field distribution is ideal for the beam separation with minimal negative effect on the beam. We have studied to improve the electrode configuration to match the beam shape. In this paper, we present the result of the electric field measurements and the septum improvement. Additionally, we describe the future plan of this development.

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.
