Definitions
- the present invention relates to a permanent magnet used in an environment exposed to radiation having an absorbed dose of more than 300 Gy, and is used particularly in a synchrotron used for physical properties research and in the field of radiology. 9 also concerns a permanent magnet for particle beam accelerators may be used such as cyclo-Bok Ron, the present invention is directed to the magnetic field generator includes a plurality of the Yo a permanent magnet.
- Particle accelerators include synchrotrons, which are used to generate high-energy particle beams for physical properties research, and compact cyclotrons, which are used to produce radioisotopes used in cancer screening. Recently, accelerators have begun to be used not only for diagnosis, but also for radiation therapy, which irradiates the affected part of a cancer patient directly with a proton beam.
- a particle accelerator has a mechanism for injecting a particle beam, a mechanism for accelerating a charged particle by applying a high-frequency electric field, and a mechanism for applying a magnetic field to deflect the particle beam in a desired direction.
- synchrotrons are used for the main ring or the storage ring.
- a deflected magnetic field to run a particle beam in an annular orbit called a ring a converging magnetic field to converge a particle beam in the orbit, and the incidence of the particle beam on the main ring or from the main ring.
- the deflection magnetic field used to extract the particle beam is used.
- a uniform static magnetic field is used to accelerate the particle beam in a spiral.
- Particle accelerators must be able to be adjusted by changing the magnetic field strength in principle, such as a convergent magnetic field, but there are also places where a constant static magnetic field is required during operation.
- a pulsed magnetic field is applied to the particle beam running in the main ring or storage ring by an electromagnet called a “kicker magnet” to slightly change the course of the particle beam.
- the particle beam is further deflected by an electromagnet called a “septum magnet”.
- Such a septum magnet is required to form a large and uniform static magnetic field, and is installed near the main ring of the particle accelerator.
- the space where the septum magnet generates a strong magnetic field (magnetic field) It is necessary to minimize the magnetic field leaking from the source space to the external area (for example, 5 mT or less).
- electromagnets used for particle accelerators are required to generate a strong magnetic field, so a large current needs to flow through the magnetite coil during operation.
- an electromagnet for a particle accelerator, it is possible to use a permanent magnet instead of an electromagnet.
- an accumulator ring for particle accelerators at the Fermi Laboratory in the United States uses an 81-d ferrite magnet. Hawk ferrite cannot generate a strong deflecting magnetic field (for example, about 2 T) if it is small, and it will not be possible to spread small particle accelerators to hospitals.
- 2 1 7 system S m C o sintered magnet has little demagnetization by irradiation, a high-performance magnet maximum energy product of more than 2 4 0 k J m 3. For this reason, it is also possible to use a 2--17 series SmCo sintered magnet to generate a strong magnetic field for the particle accelerator.
- Co which is both a major component and an essential element of this magnet, has the drawback of being easily activated, making it difficult to adopt it for accelerators in view of maintenance.
- N d- F e- B based sintered magnet because capable of exhibiting high maximum energy product exceeds 3 2 O k J / m 3 , quite useful in miniaturization of the accelerator, activation also 2- " 17 SmCo sintered magnets have the advantage of being less likely to occur, but Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets have the disadvantage that they are demagnetized by irradiation. ing. The mechanism by which the Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet is demagnetized by irradiation with radiation will be described with reference to Fig. 1.
- Figure 1 is a ⁇ of ⁇ is a schematic diagram enlarged part of the N d- F e- B based sintered magnet shows atoms constituting the N d 2 F e 1 4 B-type crystals.
- the relatively small ⁇ indicates radiation with energy E 0 (high-energy particles), which flies along the arrow and collides with the atom located in the center of region R.
- the radiation may be a particle beam such as a proton beam, a neutron beam, an alpha beam, a solid beam, or a heavy ion particle beam, or may be an electromagnetic wave such as a gamma ray or an X-ray.
- the coercive force development mechanism of Nd—Fe—B sintered magnets Because it is a nucleation type, if the region R causes magnetic reversal, the entire crystal grain including the region R will cause magnetization reversal. Such magnetization reversal proceeds in all regions (crystal grains) of the sintered magnet as the radiation dose increases, and eventually the entire sintered magnet is greatly demagnetized. As a result, it was not possible to generate a constant strong magnetic field, and it was practically possible to produce a magnetic field generator for particle accelerators using conventional Nd-Fe-B-based sintered magnets. Has not been reached.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above points, and a main object of the present invention is to provide a permanent magnet for a particle accelerator which is hard to be demagnetized by radiation irradiation while using an Nd-Fe-B magnet and a magnetic field generator. It is to provide a device. Disclosure of the invention

- a magnetic field generator having the configuration shown in Fig. 3 was assembled. Since it is difficult to configure each magnet area shown in Fig. 3 with one magnet material, many small magnet material blocks must be combined.
- the magnetic field generated between the opposed iron shims was 1.10 T.
- Each of the iron gyms in this embodiment has an inclined portion on the facing surface side. Due to the presence of this slope, the distance between the opposing iron shims changes along the X axis in Fig. 3.
- the uniformity of the magnetic field strength in the X-axis direction at ⁇ 3 is within ⁇ 3% in the magnetic field generation space located substantially at the center of the device, and the leakage magnetic field at the left position of the magnetic field generator in FIG. 4 mT.
- the fabricated magnetic field generator was incorporated into an actual particle accelerator as a septum magnet.
- a stainless steel tube with a beam-transport port branched from a kick-force magnet was installed at the center of the magnetic field generator. Insert the magnetic field generator on the outer side of the magnetic shield of the iron plate on the left side of Fig. 3 through which the stainless steel tube of the beam line of the main ring passes. At this time, the accelerating particles can be deflected by a strong magnetic field of 1. ⁇ mm or more in the stainless steel tube of the beam transport.
- the leakage magnetic field to the stainless tube of the beam line of the main ring is small, there is no possibility that an undesirable deflection is applied.
- the amount of C ⁇ contained in the magnet is small, so it is activated compared to a magnetic field generator using a S m — C ⁇ sintered magnet. Accordingly, the amount of radiation generated from the magnetic field generator is expected to be small, and it is possible to reduce the exposure of workers during maintenance of the magnetic field generator.
- Example 2 when assembling the magnetic field generator shown in Example 2 using a magnet having a HcJ of 1.6 MA m or more according to the present invention, the magnet constituting the magnetic field generator operates the accelerator.
- the demagnetization rate can be reduced after exposure to neutrons generated during rotation.
- the present invention it is possible to provide a permanent magnet for a particle accelerator and a magnetic field generator that are not easily demagnetized by irradiation with radiation while using an Nd-Fe-B magnet. According to the present invention, it is possible to generate a strong magnetic field required for a particle accelerator application without consuming a large amount of electric power unlike an electromagnet.
