Heavy Ion Injection of Fixed-Field Alternating Gradient Accelerator

説明

Much research in recent years has focused on circular accelerators that accelerate and store secondary particles with a large momentum spread, such as muons, unstable nuclei, and heavy ions with different charge states. A fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator with large transverse and momentum acceptance has obvious advantages for such requirements. A versatile beam injection method is required to accelerate secondary particles with a large momentum spread and different charge states with an FFAG accelerator. In the present study, a method for charge exchange injection of positive heavy ions using the large momentum acceptance of an FFAG accelerator is proposed. A charge injection system, which converts a He^<1+> beam to a He^<2+> beam, is developed for a 150 MeV FFAG accelerator at the Center for Accelerator and Beam Applied Science (CABAS) of Kyushu University. As the first step to verify the injection method, an orbit shift from one charge state to the other is demonstrated. This is the first demonstration of heavy ion injection using an FFAG accelerator.
