Development of Superconducting Quadrupoles for Heavy Ion Fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi-beam heavy-ion accelerators are considered as promising drivers for inertial fusion energy. The High Current Experiment (HCX) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) will test driver-scale beam dynamics in a single transport channel. Single bore, NbTi superconducting quadrupoles are being developed for the HCX, taking into account their possible use as modules in a quadrupole array magnet for multi-beam focusing. Two design approaches are considered, and prototype magnets of each type have been built and tested. The status of the R&D program is reported and a comparison of the two design options is presented.

Conceptual Design of Superconducting Quadrupole Arrays for Heavy-ion Fusion
Extensive studies have been performed to optimize the design of superconducting quadrupole arrays for beam transport in future heavy-ion fusion accelerators. In these arrays 20 or more quadrupole coils are densely packed with their axes aligned in parallel. Field strengths between 3 and 5 tesla at the inner coil diameters have been investigated. The aperture of the individual quadrupoles has be...
متن کاملTuning Shims for High Field Quality in Superconducting Magnets
−−A high field quality in quadrupoles for the interaction region is crucial to the luminosity performance of high energy colliders such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The field quality in magnets is limited in part by manufacturing tolerances in the parts and assembly. A tuning shim method has been developed to reduce the relative field errors (∆Β/Β) from ~10 to ~10 at 2/3 of th...
متن کاملA Scaled Beam-combining Experiment for Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion
Transverse beam combining is a cost-saving option employed in many designs for induction linac heavy ion fusion drivers. The resultant transverse emittance increase, due predominantly to anharmonic space charge forces, must be kept minimal so that the beam remains focusable at the target. A prototype combining experiment has been built and preliminary results are presented. Four sources each pr...

متن کاملThe High Current Transport Experiment for Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion
The High Current Experiment (HCX) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is part of the US program to explore heavy-ion beam transport at a scale representative of the low-energy end of an induction linac driver for fusion energy production. The primary mission of this experiment is to investigate aperture fill factors acceptable for the transport of space-charge-dominated heavy-ion beams at ...
