For high-power heavy ion accelerators, the development of a suitable charge stripper, which can handle intense beams, is essential. This Letter describes first experimental demonstration liquid lithium stripper. A 10-20 μm thick jet flowing at >50 m/s was formed and confirmed stable when bombarded by various while increasing state incoming beams to desired range. proved existing power limitation with conventional strippers be overcome liquid-metal opening completely new possibilities in...
The Coupled Cyclotron Facility at Michigan State University is being completed with the experimental program scheduled to start in July 2001. Beam from either recently room temperature ECR or existing superconducting injected axially into refurbished K500 cyclotron, sent K1200 cyclotron via a new beam line along median plane and stripped by carbon foil located inside dee for injection. First through paired cyclotrons was obtained on 10 October 2000.
Studies of the longitudinal beam dynamics in small isochronous ring (SIR) at Michigan State University revealed a fast, space-charge driven instability that did not fit model negative mass instability. The observed behavior can be explained by transverse horizontal component coherent force and its effect on motion. This effectively modifies slip factor, shifting point enhancing paper presents results numerical experimental studies SIR proposes simple analytical explaining these results.
Charge strippers play a critical role in many high intensity heavy ion accelerators. Here we present some history of recent stripper technology development and indicate the capabilities limitations various approaches. The properties solid, gaseous, liquid are covered. In particular, solid for intensity, atomic number ions unique features helium gas lithium applications need quality simulation performance as important input system optimization is explained examples current codes given.
