Proton Driver: Linac, Booster & NFFAG Layout 3 GeV RCS booster 66 cells 10 GeV NFFAG H°, Hˉ Hˉ collimators 200 MeV Hˉ linac
Aims of the Electron Model The aims of the model are to check the following: • The effects of the non-linear magnetic fields • Constancy of tune at 25 reference energies • The halo growth during 50 Hz acceleration • The range of momentum for the acceleration • Adiabatic bunch compression to < 1 ns rms • Longitudinal space charge limited operation • The effect of Q = 0.1 at the injection energy • The effect of Q = 0.1 for compressed bunch
Momentum Range for the Model The 3 to 10 GeV protons have β = 4.197 to 11.658. The 3 to 5.44632 MeV eˉ have β = 6.871 to 11.658. Range is smaller because the model has fewer cells, causing too large an edge focusing at low energies. Proton ring has 66 cells, with 5.4545° bend per cell. Electron ring has 27 cells ,with 13.33° bend per cell. An eˉ ring with more cells leads to very low B fields. The β range is chosen for the compression studies.

Electron Model Lattice Studies Fix path length at top energy, but change the bend angles: bd: - 7° to - 8°, BF: 7° to 7.5°, BD 13.333° to 14.333°. Reduce number of reference energies (δ) from 25 to 17. There are two complete designs for the model; final choice is related to bunch compression.
Non-linear Cell, Longitudinal Effects For p = po (1 + δ), L = Lo (1 + δ (αo + α1δ + α2δ2 + …..) Non-linear lattice program gives L(+δ), L(-δ)andαo (=t -2) Hence it is possible to solve for α1 and α2. Fo is the frequency of one of the 25 (po, Co) reference orbits. F is the change in frequency between the orbits. C = ring circumference = Co (1 + δ (αo + α1δ + α2δ2 + ,..) h = 3, F = h β(δ) c / C(δ), = F/Fo = (o -2 - αo) δ+ (o -2 (αo - 1 -βo2/2)-α1) δ2 - (α2 + o -2 (αo (1 +βo2/2) + α1 + 5βo2/2 - βo4/2 + o -4)) δ3
Comparison of Model with Proton Driver For the proton driver at a reference energy of 6.5GeV, for example: α1 = - 27.94037 α2 = - 681.8648. The values of α1 and α2 at the compression energy need to be compared for the proton driver and the two electron model designs, before selecting the final electron model.
Betatron Tunes for the Model Reference energies are at 2 to 3% momentum intervals. Tunes at ref. energies are 4/13, 3/13, as in proton driver. Ring has 27 cells, 26 of which have Qh = 8 and Qv = 6. At a reference energy, betatron tunes vary with amplitude. Orbits near reference energies don’t have zero chromaticity. The tunes vary with energy, but return to reference values.
Space Charge Effects Model needs to simulate the proton driver space charge effects. Assume 5 109 electrons in a single, 37.713 MHz beam bunch. Assume Hofmann-Pederson, longitudinal beam distributions. Find bunching factors for Q= 0.1 at compression & injection. Find bunch area for δ = ± 8 10-3, T < 1 ns rms, at compression. Find the rf voltage needed to achieve the bunch compression. Find rf voltage needed at injection for Q = 0.1 and ηsc < 0.4.
Bunch Compression Parameters For N = 5 109, = 11.658& gaussian transverse distributions, Q = 0.1 at a bunching factor of Bf = 0.0322. The bunch phase and time extents needed at 37.713 MHz are: φ = ± 0.45 and T = ± 1.899 ns (~ 0.76 ns rms). Assume p/p = ± 8 10-3 as for compressed proton driver bunch. Bunch area A (E, T ) = 0.282233 10-3 eV sec. If Zwall cancelsηsc, then V = hηπ (Ach / (Rα) )2 / (128Eo). V = 112.5 volts for compression with h= 3.
3 MeV Injection Parameters For N = 5 109, = 6.675& gaussian transverse distributions, Q = 0.1 at a bunching factor of Bf = 0.0989. The bunch phase and time extents needed at 37.713 MHz are : φ = ± 1.159 and T = ± 4.89 ns (~ 1.96 ns rms). ηsc not cancelled; V(1 - ηsc ) = hηπ (Ach / (Rα) )2 / (128 Eo). Vηsc = Neh2g / (2εoRF 2), F = 0.9564, α = 0.2455. For the injection, when h =3, ηsc = 0.1117 andp/p = ± 5.5 10-3. V = 33.98 volts during injection with h =3.
37.713 MHz RF System 50 Ω load25 Ω input feeder 50 Ω load The use of three, broad band mini-drift tubes is proposed. These are located in cells 1, 4 and 7 (120° in phase apart). Each drift tube is 0.29 m long in a 0.35 m straight section. The phase extent is ± 6.59° at the rf harmonic of three. The voltage reduction factor due to the short φ is 0.2281 Needed per drift tube are ~ 50 V (inj.) and 164 V ( compr.). eˉ
Summary An eˉ model for the NFFAG proton driver is now proposed. It has 27 cells in comparison with the 66 of the proton driver. The ring circumference is 23.76 m (too large for the DL hall?) Increased bend angles restrict the range to 3 - 5.4463 MeV. The cell tunes at each reference energy are as for the driver, but there are more edge effects in the electron models. Design aims for the eˉ model are met, but development of a 3D space charge code is needed for tracking of acceleration.
