Towards Tests of an RFQ Cooler and Simulations
20TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ION SOURCES(2024)
摘要
The cooling of secondary beams is important for accelerator-based nuclear physics. In the radiofrequency (RF) quadrupole cooler (RFQC), RF fields and ion-gas collisions may give a considerable increase or decrease of the beam transverse emittance and energy spread, depending on a delicate tuning of heating and cooling effects, dominated by the ion beam kinetic energy and the balance of collisions and confinement forces. An extra confinement may be added by a solenoid magnetic field, as in the RFQC prototype installed in the Eltrap machine. This provides a versatile test bench (distinct from a closed accelerator installation) for detailed studies of cooling dynamics and of several RFQC technical optimizations (for gas differential pumping and bias voltages). Modeling concepts and simulation results are summarized. The major RFQC parameters are reviewed, in particular for Cs-133(+) collisions against He gas whose pressure p(g) ranges from 2 to 9 Pa in the reference case, with attention to the extraction, comparing triode/tetrode system, and to the bias voltages. Lower bias voltages request less pg, but provide less cooling of the energy spread.
