Basic Acceleration Principle A voltage drop accelerates charged particles • Electrostatic acceleration in cathode ray tubes: • televisions • computer monitors • oscilloscopes Cockcroft Education Lectures2007 M W Poole

Resonant Accelerator Concept The acceleration occurs in the electric field between cylindrical drift tubes. The RF power must be synchronised with the motion of the electrons, so that acceleration occurs in every cavity. This naturally produces bunches of electrons Wideroe - 1928 Linear Accelerator = LINAC Cockcroft Education Lectures2007 M W Poole
Recirculation Concept - Cyclotron Radio frequency alternating voltage D-shaped RF cavities Lawrence: 4” – 80 keV 11” - 1.2 MeV time t =0 Hollow metal drift tubes time t =½ RF period q v B = mv2 / r r = mv / qB T = 2pm / qB Orbit radius increases with energy Expensive/impractical for high energies (1 GeV) Synchronisation Necessary Cockcroft Education Lectures2007 M W Poole
Phase Synchronism Synchronous particle (A) crosses cavity after one turn at same phase relative to RF peak Particle B delayed behind A receives higher accelerating voltage and therefore after next turn returns nearer or even ahead of A Particles undergo harmonic synchrotron oscillations about A as they orbit the accelerator NOTE: This leads to BUNCHING about A Cockcroft Education Lectures2007 M W Poole
Types of Accelerator • Linear Accelerators (Linacs) • Multi-cell concepts TW and SW • Cyclotrons • Low energy limit • Synchrocyclotrons • RF variation compensates mass change – extends energy reach • Betatrons • Beam is ‘secondary’ of a transformer - magnetic field limit • Synchrotrons and Storage Rings • Ramped magnetic field matches energy – annular design • Other variants • Microtron RFQ FFAG ???

Synchrotron Ring Schematic Bending magnets Accelerating cavity Vacuum tube Focusing magnets Bending and focussing often combined Cockcroft Education Lectures2007 M W Poole
Magnet Focusing Quadrupole magnets are used to focus the beam. FQUADs (shown above) focus the beam horizontally. DQUADs (as above, rotated 90º) focus the beam vertically. Cockcroft Education Lectures2007 M W Poole

Betatron Oscillations Transverse motion of particles in both planes is harmonic - as they deviate from the design orbit a restoring force increases with displacement The particles follow betatron oscillations as they orbit the accelerator The amplitude and wavelength of this motion is characterised by the beta functions of the accelerator Off-energy particles follow a dispersion function Cockcroft Education Lectures2007 M W Poole
Phase Space Emittance measures phase space area Betafunction gives transverse envelope Cockcroft Education Lectures2007 M W Poole
