This book was released on 2012 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high energy beam absorber has been built for the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) at Fermilab. In the facility's initial configuration, an electron beam will be accelerated through 3 TTF-type or ILC-type SRF cryomodules to an energy of 750MeV. The electron beam will be directed to one of multiple downstream experimental and diagnostic beam lines and then deposited in one of two beam absorbers. The facility is designed to accommodate up to 6 cryomodules, which would produce a 75kW beam at 1.5GeV; this is the driving design condition for the beam absorbers. The beam absorbers consist of water-cooled graphite, aluminum and copper layers contained in a helium-filled enclosure. This paper describes the mechanical implementation of the beam absorbers, with a focus on thermal design and analysis. The potential for radiation-induced degradation of the graphite is discussed.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fermilab's Superconducting RF Beam Test Facility currently under construction will produce electron beams capable of damaging the acceleration structures and the beam line vacuum chambers in the event of an aberrant accelerator pulse. The accelerator is being designed with the capability to operate with up to 3000 bunches per macro-pulse, 5Hz repetition rate and 1.5 GeV beam energy. It will be able to sustain an average beam power of 72 KW at the bunch charge of 3.2 nC. Operation at full intensity will deposit enough energy in niobium material to approach the melting point of 2500 C. In the early phase with only 3 cryomodules installed the facility will be capable of generating electron beam energies of 810 MeV and an average beam power that approaches 40 KW. In either case a robust Machine Protection System (MPS) is required to mitigate effects due to such large damage potentials. This paper will describe the MPS system being developed, the system requirements and the controls issues under consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes the construction and operational status of an accelerator test facility for Project X. The purpose of this facility is for Project X component development activities that benefit from beam tests and any development activities that require 325 MHz or 650 MHz RF power. It presently includes an H- beam line, a 325 MHz superconducting cavity test facility, a 325 MHz (pulsed) RF power source, and a 650 MHz (CW) RF power source. The paper also discusses some specific Project X components that will be tested in the facility. Fermilab's future involves new facilities to advance the intensity frontier. In the early 2000's, the vision was a pulsed, superconducting, 8 GeV linac capable of injecting directly into the Fermilab Main Injector. Prototyping the front-end of such a machine started in 2005 under a program named the High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS). While the HINS test facility was being constructed, the concept of a new, more versatile accelerator for the intensity frontier, now called Project X, was forming. This accelerator comprises a 3 GeV CW superconducting linac with an associated experimental program, followed by a pulsed 8 GeV superconducting linac to feed the Main Injector synchrotron. The CW Project X design is now the model for Fermilab's future intensity frontier program. Although CW operation is incompatible with the original HINS front-end design, the installation remains useful for development and testing many Project X components.

Download or read book High Power Test of a 3 9 GHZ 5 CELL Deflecting Mode Cavity in a Cryogenic Operation written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 3.9 GHz deflecting mode (S, TM110) cavity has been long used for six-dimensional phase-space beam manipulation tests [1-5] at the A0 Photo-Injector Lab (16 MeV) in Fermilab and their extended applications with vacuum cryomodules are currently planned at the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) user facility (> 50 MeV). Despite the successful test results, the cavity, however, demonstrated limited RF performance during liquid nitrogen (LN2) ambient operation that was inferior to theoretical prediction. We have been performing full analysis of the designed cavity by analytic calculation and comprehensive system simulation analysis to solve complex thermodynamics and mechanical stresses. The re-assembled cryomodule is currently under the test with a 50 kW klystron at the Fermilab A0 beamline, which will benchmark the modeling analysis. The test result will be used to design vacuum cryomodules for the 3.9 GHz deflecting mode cavity that will be employed at the ASTA facility for beam diagnostics and phase-space control.

Download or read book Design and Analysis of Beamline Components in Fermilab Mu2e Experiment written by Austin J. McElderry and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the Fermilab Mu2e experiment is to detect the conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus. This conversion process is known as Charged Lepton Flavor Violation (CLFV) in particle physics. The Mu2e sensitivity is expected to be four orders of magnitude beyond the SINDRUM II experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. To meet this expectation, the experiment requires a low energy muon beam and a high precision detector. The Fermilab accelerator complex will be utilized to generate a proton beam in which a production solenoid (PS) will receive to produce the desired muon beam. The beam will then travel through the transport solenoids (TS) to a detector solenoid (DS). The sensitive measurement components such as the proton absorber and calorimeter, simply called the DS train, rest on rails within the detector solenoid. During installation of the DS train, component positions must meet a +/-2 mm tolerance. To ensure this goal, DS train components will undergo a new design iteration and will be evaluated through finite element analysis (FEA). Axial couplers used to connect each component on the DS train, will be designed and analyzed to prevent buckling and minimize deflection from the 2000 lb compressive load. A support stand for the instrumentation feed-through bulkhead (IFB) will be modified to facilitate the expected installation forces in reference to the ASME Division II guidelines for pressure vessels. The DS train installation process will need to be reviewed to prevent failures. This includes analyzing the pallet lifter chosen to extract the external stands the DS train rests on. Analysis is necessary to confirm that the trench grating that is built into the floor below the DS train will not bend significantly under the loading from the extraction process. Critical review of the components and installation of the beamline system is vital to the success of Mu2e.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application horizon of particle accelerators has been widening significantly in recent decades. Where large accelerators have traditionally been the tools of the trade for high-energy nuclear and particle physics, applications in the last decade have grown to include large-scale accelerators like synchrotron light sources and spallation neutron sources. Applications like generation of rare isotopes, transmutation of nuclear reactor waste, sub-critical nuclear power, generation of neutrino beams etc. are next area of investigation for accelerator scientific community all over the world. Such applications require high beam power in the range of few mega-watts (MW). One such high intensity proton beam facility is proposed at Fermilab, Batavia, US, named as Project-X. Project-X facility is based on H- linear accelerator (linac), which will operate in continuous wave (CW) mode and accelerate H- ion beam with average current of 1 mA from kinetic energy of 2.5 MeV to 3 GeV to deliver 3MW beam power. One of the most challenging tasks of the Project-X facility is to have a robust design of the CW linac which can provide high quality beam to several experiments simultaneously. Hence a careful design of linac is important to achieve this objective.
