Study of beam injection/extraction for IDS FFAG J. Pasternak Imperial College, London / RAL STFC J. Pasternak
Introduction. • Injection from FODO. • Extraction from FODO. • Summary and future plans. J. Pasternak
Introduction • Motivations for Non Scaling FFAGs as muon accelerators: • quasi-isochronous –enables high frequency RF • linear fields – gives huge DA and allows for simple magnets • small orbit excursion – cost effective • Main problems: • TOF with amplitude • beam loading • injection/extraction • Lattice choice FODO: • cost-effective, • allows for symmetric injection/extraction, • but short drift • Triplet: • more expensive, • allows for symmetric injection/extraction, but (most likely only vertical) • but longer drift J. Pasternak
Beam dynamics studies • Tunes, orbits, revolution times, • DAs have been reproduced. • Codes, which can be used – • Zgoubi, PTC, MAD-X-PTC, BeamOptics • Fringe fields have to be taken into account. • For injection/extraction studies correct tracking of • large amplitude is essential. J. Pasternak
BeamOptics versus Zgoubi Agreement within hard edge approximation is very good (models includes large amplitudes and momentum deviation). J. Pasternak
BeamOptics versus Zgoubi (2) T, ns E, GeV Correct order of ChangeRef is important to get very good agreement! J. Pasternak
Preliminary extraction studies • Extraction taken as a first goal. • Working assumption – try to distribute kickers to reduce strengths. • Apply mirror symmetric solution to reuse kickers for both signs of muons • (also for injection).

Horizontal extraction –pushing to the limit m m Parameters: 10 kickers – 1.4 m, 0.125 T and septum – 1.4 m, 4 T. • HorizontalSolution requires many, • strong kickers (many drifts needed). • Tune is close to 0.2 but beta is small! • Requires special magnets. • Solution not satisfactory! J. Pasternak
Vertical Extraction Septum, 4 T, 1.4 m Circulating 25 GeV Beam, 3 cm emittance • Requires special • magnets • More compact and • alows to reduce kickers • srength • Symmetric for both signs. Kickers 0.1 T, 1.4 m Main Magnets J. Pasternak
Vertical extraction (other scheme – 6 kickers) m m Parameters: 6 kickers – 1.4 m, 0.07 T and septum – 1.4 m, 4 T. J. Pasternak
Vertical extraction (other scheme – 4 kickers) Kickers 0.1 T, 1.4 m J. Pasternak
Horizontal injection (8 kickers, 0.11 T) Beam separation J. Pasternak
Vertical Injection Parameters: 6 kickers (---+++) – 1.4 m, 0.12 T and septum – 1.4 m, 4 T. • Does it require special magnets? • More compact but requires stronger kickers • Antisymmetric for both signs. J. Pasternak
Injection (2) Parameters: 10 kickers – 1.4 m, 0.08 T and septum – 1.4 m, 2.5 T. • Does require special magnets! • Long but requires weaker kickers. • Symmetric for both signs. J. Pasternak
Summary of parameters for injection/extraction 0.1 T kicker parameters:size HxV (0.3x0.3 m), I~ 40 kA, V~116 kV J. Pasternak
What are the kicker parameters? • FFAG IDS kicker: • size HxV (0.3x0.3 m), • field 0.1 T, • I~ 40 kA, • V~116 kV, • rise time 1.5 us • CERN LHC extraction kicker: • size HxV (0.056 x 0.056 m), • field 0.34 T, • I~ 18.5 kA, • V~30 kV, • rise time 2.85 us J. Pasternak
Comments obtained at PAC’09: • These kickers are still difficult due to large aperture! • The superconducting setum will be difficult in operation. • You may need to shield kickers from the magnetic field. J. Pasternak
Summary • Beam dynamics in Scott’s FODO has been studied • with good results. • We have a first geometry for both injection and extraction, • but its feasibility still needs to be shown! • Other lattices have to be studied, mostly triplet. • More tracking is needed (fringe fields, accelerated orbit, etc.). • Alternative scheme based on insertion schould be studied.
