Permanent magnets are advantageous over electromagnets in that they consume less power, are physically more compact, and there is a less risk of power supply failure. However, experience with electromagnets and permanent magnets in the field of accelerators shows that there are still challenges to replacing main magnets of accelerators for light sources with permanent magnets. These include the adjustability of the magnetic field, the temperature dependence of permanent magnets, and the issue of demagnetization. In this paper, we present a design for magnets for future light sources, supported by experimental and numerical results. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.20.072401 I.

In addition, most of those projects do to be reduced further to around pm · rad by additional not rely merely on the increase in the number of bending damping at the insertion devices.

It provides proton beams of variable intensity at a nominal fixed energy of 18 MeV. Several scientific activities, such as the measurement of nuclear reaction cross-sections or the production of non-conventional radioisotopes for medical applications, require a precise knowledge of the energy of the beam extracted from the accelerator. For this purpose, a study of the beam energy was performed as a function of cyclotron operational parameters, such as the magnetic field in the dipole magnet or the position of the extraction foil. The beam energy was measured at the end of the 6 m long Beam Transfer Line (BTL) by deflecting the accelerated protons by means of a dipole electromagnet and by assessing the deflection angle with a beam profile detector.

Reliability and simplicity without loosing the required parameters of the machine should be considered, first of all, to design this accelerator. The technological and economic requirements for these machines are of great importance for an industrial approach. A synchrotron meets the machine requirements better than a linear accelerator or a cyclotron [1], To meet the medical requirements [2], an active scanning should be fixed as a base of the designed machine. There are two strategies of active magnetic beam scanning - the raster and pixel scan. Both techniques are based on the virtual dissection of the tumour in slices of equidistant ranges. The modified raster-scan technique is proposed at GSI to treat cancer. This method is based upon an active energy- and intensity-variation within the treatment time and is a hybrid technique combining different features of both pixel and raster scan techniques [3], The active scanning of tumours requires the 'long' extraction spill about 400 ms that can be obtained by the slow resonance extraction of the accelerated particles. In this case the magnetic elements of the synchrotron should have enough big radial dimension to provide the horizontal extraction without particle losses. Moreover, in the case of the third order extraction it is important to minimize high- order magnetic field components especially on high energy.

For our beautiful grand-daughter, Sarah. 3 Abstract Medium energy electron synchrotrons (see page 15) used for the produc- tion of high energy photons from synchrotron radiation is an accelerator growth industry. Many of these accelerators have been built or are under construction to satisfy the needs of synchrotron light users throughout the world. Because of the long beam lifetimes required for these synchrotrons, these medium energy accelerators require the highest quality magnets of various types. Other accel- erators, for instance low and medium energy boosters for high energy physics machines and electron/positron colliders, require the same types of magnets. Because of these needs, magnet design lectures, originally organized by Dr. Klaus Halbach and later continued by Dr. Ross Schlueter and Jack Tanabe, were organized and presented periodically at biennual classes organized under the auspices of the US Particle Accelerator School (USPAS). These classes were divided among areas of magnet design from fundamental theoretical consider- ations, the design approaches and algorithms for permanent magnet wigglers and undulators and the design and engineering of conventional accelerator mag- nets. The conventional magnet lectures were later expanded for the internal training of magnet designers at LLNL at the request of Lou Bertolini. Because of the broad nature of magnet design, Dr.

  • Cyclotrons and Synchrotrons
    Cyclotrons and Synchrotrons 15 Cyclotrons and Synchrotrons The term circular accelerator refers to any machine in which beams describe a closed orbit. All circular accelerators have a vertical magnetic field to bend particle trajectories and one or more gaps coupled to inductively isolated cavities to accelerate particles. Beam orbits are often not true circles; for instance, large synchrotrons are composed of alternating straight and circular sections. The main characteristic of resonant circular accelerators is synchronization between oscillating acceleration fields and the revolution frequency of particles. Particle recirculation is a major advantage of resonant circular accelerators over rf linacs. In a circular machine, particles pass through the same acceleration gap many times (102 to greater than 108). High kinetic energy can be achieved with relatively low gap voltage. One criterion to compare circular and linear accelerators for high-energy applications is the energy gain per length of the machine; the cost of many accelerator components is linearly proportional to the length of the beamline. Dividing the energy of a beam from a conventional synchrotron by the circumference of the machine gives effective gradients exceeding 50 MV/m. The gradient is considerably higher for accelerators with superconducting magnets. This figure of merit has not been approached in either conventional or collective linear accelerators. There are numerous types of resonant circular accelerators, some with specific advantages and some of mainly historic significance. Before beginning a detailed study, it is useful to review briefly existing classes of accelerators. In the following outline, a standard terminology is defined and the significance of each device is emphasized.
