Funding: Work supported by US DOE under contract 89233218CNA000001 The unique feature of the LANSCE accelerator facility is multi beam operation. Accelerator delivers 100 MeV H+ and 800 MeV H− beams to five experimental areas. The LANSCE front end is equipped with two independent injectors for H+ and H− beams, merging at the entrance of a Drift Tube Linac (DTL). Existing Cockcroft-Walton (CW) - based injector provides conservation of high value of beams brightness before injection into DTL. To reduce long-term operational risks and support beam delivery with high reliability, we designed an RFQ-based front end as a modern injector replacement for the CW injectors. Proposed injector includes two independent low-energy transports merging beams at the entrance of a single RFQ, which accelerates simultaneously both protons and H− ions with multiple flavors of the beams. Paper discusses details of beam physics design and presents injector parameters. |

MOPOGE16 | Development of High-Gradient Accelerating Structures for Proton Radiography Booster at LANSCE | 188 |
|
||
Increasing energy of proton beam at LANSCE from 800 MeV to 3 GeV improves radiography resolution ~10 times. We propose accomplishing this energy boost with a compact cost-effective linac based on normal conducting high-gradient (HG) RF accelerating structures. Such an unusual proton linac is feasible for proton radiography (pRad), which operates with very short beam (and RF) pulses. For a compact pRad booster at LANSCE, we have developed a multi-stage design: a short L-band section to capture and compress the 800-MeV proton beam from the existing linac followed by the main HG linac based on S- and C-band cavities, and finally, by an L-band de-buncher*. Here we present details of development, including EM and thermal-stress analysis, of proton HG structures with distributed RF coupling for the pRad booster. A short test structure is designed specifically for measurements at the LANL C-band RF Test Stand.

MOPOGE17 | CST Modeling of the LANSCE Coupled-Cavity Linac | 191 |
|
||
The 800-MeV proton linac at LANSCE consists of a drift-tube linac, which brings the beam to 100 MeV, followed by 44 modules of a coupled-cavity linac (CCL). Each CCL module contains multiple tanks, and it is fed by a single 805-MHz klystron. CCL tanks are multi-cell blocks of identical re-entrant side-coupled cavities, which are followed by drifts with magnetic quadrupole doublets. Bridge couplers - special cavities displaced from the beam axis - electromagnetically couple CCL tanks over such drifts within a module. We have developed 3D CST models of CCL tanks. The models are used to calculate electromagnetic fields in the tanks. Beam dynamics is modelled in CST for bunch trains with realistic beam distributions using the calculated RF fields and quadrupole magnetic fields. Beam dynamics results are crosschecked with other multi-particle codes and applied to evaluate effects of CCL misalignments. | ||

TUPORI26 | Longitudinal Beam Dynamics in Array of Equidistant Multicell Cavities | 609 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by US DOE under contract 89233218CNA000001 Linear accelerators containing the sequence of independently phase cavities with constant geometrical velocity along each cavity are widely used in practice. The chain of cavities with identical cell length is utilized within a certain beam velocity range, with subsequent transformation to the next chain with higher cavity velocity. Design and analysis of beam dynamics in this type of accelerators are usually performed using numerical simulations. In the present paper, we provide an analytical treatment of beam dynamics in such linacs. Expressions connecting beam energy gain and phase slippage along the cavity are implemented. The dynamics of the beam around the reference trajectory along the accelerator and matched beam conditions are discussed. |
