Institut für Angewandte Physik The FAIR Project

To satisfy the luminosity requirements of the High Energy Storage Ring we must have a particles number in the SIS18 of ~ 6 x1012

p/cycle that is quite near the space charge limit of this machine at 70 MeV.

The existing UNILAC provides 11.4 MeV/u

WE NEED A NEW PROTON INJECTOR[2]!!!!!!!!!

The Facility for Antiprotons and Ions Research[1] will consist of 2 new

synchrotrons (SIS100/300) connected with a system of cooler-storage rings for

effective beam cooling at high energies and various experimental halls: the existing GSI

will provide the acceleration chain for the injection into the new machine.

Institut für Angewandte Physik The P-Injector

ENERGY Range (MeV) 3 - 70

Pulsed Current (mA) 70

Bunch Frequency (MHz) 352.21

Klystron Power (MW) 1.3

Macro Pulse Length (ms) 0.1

Repetition Rate (Hz) 5

Transv. Emittance 7 mm mrad

Longitudinal Emmitance 17 KeV ns

From the proton injector the beam will be transferred to the SIS18 with a 10 turns injection method: in this way 7 mm mrad are required to fill the space charge limit within half of the Synchrotron’s acceptance. To reduce the overall budget the existing 352.21MHz LEP Klystron with a nominal power of 1.3 MW will be employed.

Institut für Angewandte Physik WHY A CH ?

The CH-DTL operates in the H21(0) mode and, at beam energies between 5 MeV/u and 150 MeV/u, it shows a large potential[3] as well for room temperature as for superconducting designs. At the moment besides IAP also ANL, FNAL[4] and are developing CH Cavities.

For high current machines the Matching Section (RFQ-CH) should carefully design to avoid excessive emittance growth[5], particles loss and to host space for diagnostics.

Phase Probe Study Let’s consider the bunch shape at the input of the 3rd tank’s flange with the second tank

switched off: What could we expect?

Besides Tank 3 the beam shape is lost….How many phase probes would be needed?

At the moment 2 technical solutions are under investigation, both based on IOT/Klystron solution and both promising total reduction of costs!!!!!!!!!!

Institut für Angewandte Physik CH: Mechanical Development

The mechanical development is focused on 3 major problems

1. Flexibility in the tuning of the cavity

2. General mechanical stability and robustness

3. Optimisation of the RF efficiency

A cold model consisting of 8 equidistant gaps (β / 2 = 45 mm) is, presently, under construction in order to test the fabrication steps and find out technical solutions for the assembly of the prototype cavity. The main idea is to weld the stainless steel stems into the yoke from outside and to avoid any screws inside the cavity; massive copper half drift tubes will be press-fit into the stems and its expected to achieve excellent RF contacts and mechanical precision with this technique. A complete new ends cell concept has been developed both to host quadruple lens or diagnostics devices and to tune the ends cell of the cavity.

Stems, Drift Tubes, End-Flanges were already fabricated and the cavity is ready for final welding.

LINAC AG

Institut für Angewandte Physik Drift Tubes

Mechanical Simulation performed with the ANSYS CODE has shown how press-fitting will ensure good quality of the contacts: the half tube will be cooled down and then inserted into the stem. The following thermal dilatation will spread the mechanical tension exactly all around the contacts: this technique is expected to ensure both good RF contacts and mechanical stability [6]. First test will be performed next week!!!!

Institut für Angewandte Physik End Cell Concept

To increase the voltage in the ends cell and achieve good flatness of the electric field one possible way is to increase the magnetic inductance at the cavity’s extremes: in the IH Cavity, for instance, this can be obtained by large undercuts in the base girder

In the proton injector no girder is foreseen and the tuning can be achieved by enlarging the final nose[7]: this drift space can be used to host the quadruple lens or some beam diagnostics device such us phase probes.

The result will be a very compact structure with each tank fed by its own generator and directly connected with the following one reducing considerably the overall length of the machine. The linac will be mounted on rails and the intertank flanges could be easily open to perform any kind of maintenance

Institut für Angewandte Physik End Cells Concept

Microwave Studio Simulations of our model have confirmed how this technique can improve the distribution of the electric fields inside the cavity: final adjustments can be obtained by changing the DRIFT/LENGTH period [3]. Expected Effective Shunt Impedance : 90-100 M/m

Institut für Angewandte Physik IAP-WP2: Status at Sep. ‘05

The cold model design and fabrication has been completed and its assemblage will be performed as soon as possible in the IAP Workshop

This model will be used to gain experience on the realisation of the new CH-DTL Cavity, including the copper plating that will be executed at the GSI: within the end of this year vacuum and RF Measurements will be performed.

Beam dynamics: COMPLETED: report will be sent at our coming back in Frankfurt!!!!

Concerning the building of the real prototype it seems feasible to complete it within 2006. NTG® Company was already contacted
