Abstract
Chopper systems are typically used to provide beam time structure and ensure the safety of accelerator operation by deflecting the beam away. The reliability of conventional choppers is entirely based on high-voltage (HV) pulsed power supplies. However, when the power supply fails to charge the electrostatic deflection plate, the beam cannot be cut off, and it will enter the downstream accelerator. To meet the strict beam stopping time requirements of the China Initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS), novel E × B chopper design has been developed based on a permanent magnet and an electrostatic deflection plate. This design not only ensures the safety of the accelerator but also provides the necessary pulse waveform. The device is small, highly reliable, and suitable for most accelerators. Moreover, beam dynamics simulations have been conducted to evaluate the chopper’s influence on beam quality, and its beam cutting capability has been analyzed.
