Definitions
- microtrons With known smaller, circularly designed electron accelerator systems, which are also referred to as "microtrons", particle energies of up to approximately 100 MeV can be achieved with normally conducting magnetic field generating windings. These systems can in particular also be implemented as so-called race track microtrons.
- the particle trajectories of this type of accelerator systems are composed of two semicircles, each with a corresponding 180 ° deflection magnet, and of two straight track sections (cf. "Nucl. Instr. And Meth.”, Vol. 177, 1980, pages 411 to 416 or Vol. 204, 1982, pages 1 to 20).
- the magnetic field can be increased with unchanged dimensions of the particle path. Such an increase can be made in particular with superconducting magnets.
- low-energy electrons are injected into a microtron with a very low magnetic field, which also has superconducting magnet windings, a number of possible field error sources must be taken into account in order to keep the electron losses small during the acceleration phase.
- the field level for low-energy shot electrons of, for example, 100 keV with a radius of curvature of the accelerator system of, for example, 0.5 m is only about 2.2 mT.
- Eddy currents in metallic parts of the magnetic device or in its conductors can also lead to corresponding disturbances.
- shielding currents in the conductors of a superconducting winding or so-called frozen magnetic fluxes in these conductors may represent such sources of interference.
- the electron accelerator system to be removed has, in each case, the 180 '' magnet with a main winding which generates a dipole field and an additional winding which focuses the particles onto the particle path.
- a focusing solenoid system is provided in the area of the straight track sections.
- the normally conductive deflection magnets enclose the corresponding curved section of the particle path with their iron yoke for reasons of the desired field accuracy, so that the synchrotron radiation occurring there cannot be used.
- the particles in known accelerator systems are generally only at a higher field level, i.e. shot with higher energy. Then the mentioned interference effects are only of minor or subordinate importance.
- operating the accelerator systems in this way requires corresponding pre-accelerators and is therefore correspondingly complex.
- the object of the present invention is to design the magnetic field generating device of a particle accelerator system mentioned at the outset such that it can be used to accelerate relatively large currents of electrically charged particles to relatively high energy levels, in the case of electrons, for example to several 100 MeV, without any particular Pre-accelerators are required.
- quadrupole triplets Systems consisting of three quadrupole windings or coils arranged in series, so-called quadrupole triplets, for focusing beams of electrically charged particles are generally known.
- a beam guiding system emerges which comprises several such quadrupole triplets in straight lines cut its particle path.
- double-telescopic beam guidance systems can also be formed, each comprising two quadrupole triplets, which are surrounded symmetrically by the same drift sections of predetermined length.
- Each quadrupole triplet of such a system is electrically excited in such a way that both the horizontal and the vertical focusing plane coincide with the beginning of the preceding or the end of the following drift path, as seen in the beam guidance direction.
- FIG. 1 indicates the particle path of a magnetic field generating device with additional windings according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows schematically such an additional winding in perspective.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show two cross sections through such an additional winding. In the figures, the same parts are provided with the same reference symbols.
- the magnetic field generating device is to be provided in particular for electronically known accelerator systems of the race track type ("race track microtrons").
- the dipole deflection magnets required for this are bent semicircularly in accordance with the curved particle path (see, for example, "IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.”, Vol. NS-30, No.4, August 1983, pages 2531 to 2533). Since in particular end energies of the particles of a few 100 MeV are aimed for, the main windings of the deflection magnets are preferably created with superconducting material because of the high field strengths required.
- quadrupole fields are to be formed with additional windings, which at the same time enable an undisturbed outlet of the synchrotron radiation.
- additional focusing of the electron beam can advantageously be achieved during the still low-energy acceleration phase of the electrons, so that superconducting main windings of the deflection magnets can then also be used.
- the superconducting deflection magnets can therefore also be used for fields between approximately 2 mT and 100 mT during electron acceleration.
- the corresponding additional windings for generating the additional quadrupole fields are advantageously arranged in the region of the superconducting deflection magnets.
- Additional windings can be created both with normally conducting and in particular with superconducting conductors. They are indicated schematically in FIG. 1 as a top view, with the superconducting main windings of the 180 ° deflection magnets being omitted for reasons of clarity.
- the particle track 2 of the racetrack type shown in FIG. 1 has two curved track sections A 1 and A 2 , between which straight track sections A 3 and A 4 extend.
- a conductor arrangement 3 or 4 is provided with a corresponding curvature of its conductor parts, each of which is a triplet of three quadrupole windings 5 to 7 or 8 to 10 which are arranged one behind the other and are electrically connected to one another, as seen in the beam guidance direction are executed.
- the two quadrupot triplets 3 and 4 form a double telescopic beam guidance system.
- Corresponding systems with quadrupole triplets of this type are known per se (cf., for example, "Nucl. Instr.
- such triplets can be used to transmit a beam onto a point on the particle path both vertically
- a particle stream denoted by S which is formed in the straight section A 4 of the particle path by approximately parallel-flying particles, is focused on a point P by means of the quadrupole triplet _3 as beam S ' , which lies approximately in the middle of the axial extent of the straight section A 3 of the particle path 2.
- this particle beam S ' which is focused on the point P and then diverges again after this point, into the particle beam formed from parallel-flying particles S in the straight section A 4 of the particle path.
- Such a system with a point-to-parallel and parallel-to-point imaging is called double-telescopic.
- the current flow directions to be set for this in the windings of the quadrupole coils 5 to 7 or 8 to 10 shown in the top view of FIG. 1 are illustrated by single arrowed lines on the windings lying above the particle path.
- FIG. 1 a conductor arrangement for generating superimposed quadrupole fields, which form a triplet, is shown in perspective.
- This quadrupole triplet is, for example, the triplet 4 according to FIG. 1.
- the magnetic quadrupole fields of the triplet are generated by two current conductors 12 to 13, which are each arranged in parallel planes on one side with respect to the plane in which the particle path 2 lies .
- the lateral radiation of synchrotron light occurring at higher energies which is to be illustrated by arrowed, dash-dotted lines 11, is not impeded.
- the triplet is composed of three quadrupoles and two drift sections, the lengths Iq and I d of which are in the ratio Iq: l d : lq: l d : lq as 0.125 :: 0.25: 0.25: 0.25: 0.125.
- the field strength of the quadrupole fields should be significantly higher than that of the interference fields.
- a dipole field of 70 mT which corresponds to an electron energy of approximately 10 MeV, includes a quadrupole field with a gradient of approximately 0.18 T / m. This - gradient requires an electrical flooding of the Tripletspulen 12 to 14 cm of about 700 ampere-turns at 4 distance from the electron orbit. 2
- the conductors of the quadrupole triplets can advantageously be installed in a simple manner in the respective deflection magnets. This fact is readily apparent from Figures 3 and 4.
- 3 schematically shows a cross section through the quadrupole coil 6 of the conductor arrangement forming the quadrupole triplet 3 according to FIG. 1.
- the quadrupole coil 6 is formed by an upper conductor turn 14 and a lower conductor turn 15. These turns are arranged on both sides of a plane E, in which the particle path 2 and the radius of curvature R of the deflection magnet lie.
- the particle trajectory 2 passes through the origin of a coordinate system with R and Z as coordinates, where Z is perpendicular to the plane E or to R.
- the conductor turns 14 and 15 should be arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane E according to the invention.
- a quadrupole field can be generated with these conductor turns, which has a focusing effect of +45 ° on the particle beam.
- the quadrupole field is illustrated by field lines 16, while the focussing or defocusing direction of the Lorentz force is indicated by dashed lines 17 and 17 '.
- This quadrupole field is superimposed by a dipole field, indicated by field lines 18, which is generated by main windings 19 or 20 of the 180 0 deflection magnet.
- the two main windings 19 and 20 are approximately symmetrical on both sides of the plane E.
- a cross-section through the quadrupole coil 7 of the same quadrupole triplet 3 is shown schematically in FIG.
- the current flow directions in the upper turn 14 and in the lower turn 15 of this coil 7 are opposite to the current flow directions in the adjacent quadrupole coil 6 of the triplet 3, so that the quadrupole field of the coil 7, illustrated by field lines 16 ', focuses or -45 ° has a defocusing effect. That is, the quadrupole field of the coil 7 is rotated by 90 ° with respect to the quadrupole field of the coil 6 shown in FIG. 3.
- the current flow directions in the quadrupole coil 5 must also be selected in accordance with the directions of current flow in the conductor windings of the quadrupole coil 7.
- the quadrupole fields to be produced with the configuration of the magnetic field generating device according to the invention are essentially only effective with small dipole fields and high field change rates.
- B> 1 T and smaller field change velocities B such additional fields are largely superfluous, since then the main windings of the magnetic field generating device can take over the particle guidance only in a known manner.
