Deflection of Secondary Beamline for AEgIS Collaboration Gerard - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Beamline Deflection of Secondary Beamline for AEgIS Collaboration Gerard Lawler Boston University CERN glawler@bu.edu May 11, 2015 Gerard Lawler Deflection of Secondary Beamline

Einzel lens Beamline Subsection Example Overview Go over and explain the basic beamline elements in use (columnator, einzel lens, HV electrodes). Discuss effectiveness of each. Highlight problems which arose. Explain modifications. Cover additional and explain plans for the future. Gerard Lawler Deflection of Secondary Beamline

Einzel lens Beamline Subsection Example Beamline Antiproton beam I am working with is extremely wide. Degraders make things worse increasing the angular scattering. Huge number of background events (protons, pions, fragments) from annihilations in the degrader. Also, background is fast. It will saturate detector quickly.

Einzel lens Beamline Subsection Example Einzel lens Original suggestion for first beamline element was einzel len. Consist of three electrodes in sequence. Two ends are at 0 potential and middle one is at some high potential. Gerard Lawler Deflection of Secondary Beamline

Einzel lens Beamline Subsection Example Einzel lens Sufficient focusing required too high voltage ( ≈ 10 5 V) More realistic, kiloVolt range einzel lens is below Gerard Lawler Deflection of Secondary Beamline

Einzel lens Beamline Subsection Example Columnator Intended to reject antiprotons with wilder trajectories after focsing. However, when paired with realistic voltage einzel lens. It eleminated too any antiprotons. Decided to widen aperature and place first then have to focus fewer antiprotons which would need lower voltage on lens electrode.

Einzel lens Beamline Subsection Example HV Electrodes Means by which 0 to 10 keV antiprotons are selected. Began with no firm idea as to geometry. Found paper A simple double-focusing electrostatic ion beam deflector . Using and modifying some of its ideas.

Einzel lens Beamline Subsection Example Beamline So Far Gerard Lawler Deflection of Secondary Beamline

Einzel lens Beamline Subsection Example Future Directions Add second einzel lens after electrodes to refocus beam. Try to extend curvature of HV electrodes to keep beam focused. Assess power loss in accelerating beam around corner with Theorem (Larmor Formula) q 2 a 2 P = 6 πε 0 c 3 (SI units) Pass more antiprotons through deflector.
