Abstract

At the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany, the HElmholtz LInear Accelerator (HELIAC) is currently under construction. The HELIAC comprises superconducting multigap Crossbar H-mode (SC CH) cavities. The input beam is delivered by an already existing High Charge Injector (HLI). For the further development of the accelerator a detailed knowledge of the input beam parameters to the SC section is necessary. A method for beam reconstruction is incorporated, which provides for longitudinal beam characteristics using measurements with a beam shape monitor and a particle simulation code. This finalizes the investigations on 6D beam parameters, following previous measurements in transversal phase space. The reconstruction of the longitudinal phase portrait is presented.

Highlights

  • The research for new Super Heavy Elements (SHE) is driven by fusion-evaporation reactions of medium to heavy ions

  • As the GSI Universal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC) [3,4,5,6,7] is going to be upgraded in order to deliver a high intensity beam to the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) [6,7] with a short pulse rate, which is opposing to the SHE requirements

  • A continuous wave (CW) linear accelerator (LINAC) is a essential part of different modern accelerator facilities, as for high energy accelerators for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) [14] or medium energy applications in isotope generation, material science and boron-neutron capture therapy [15]

Summary

Introduction

The research for new Super Heavy Elements (SHE) is driven by fusion-evaporation reactions of medium to heavy ions. As the GSI Universal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC) [3,4,5,6,7] is going to be upgraded in order to deliver a high intensity beam to the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) [6,7] with a short pulse rate, which is opposing to the SHE requirements. A dedicated continuous wave (CW) heavy ion linear accelerator (LINAC) is proposed at GSI and Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) [8, 9] under key support of Goethe University Frankfurt (IAP) [10, 11] and in collaboration with Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI) and Moscow Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (KI-ITEP) [12, 13]. Technological progress in superconducting radio frequency (SRF) technologies [16] through advances in SC CW LINAC development is a strong contribution to the whole cavity accelerator development
