FFAG 4-Bend Injection Line into EMMA C. Johnstone, Fermilab EMMA phone conference July 24, 2007
FFAG Design Considerations For a bend/reverse bend pair, to ~cancel dispersion (as is required in the EMMA lattice) –360 of phase advance is required between bends –180 is the maximum phase advance across a minimum in the function (where * the value at the minimum) Such minima are very achromatic and are generally only found in IRs (EMMA survives with low betas because the cell length is extremely short and therefore the phase advance never approaches 180 - above 130 /cell EMMA demonstrates stability problems) The momentum acceptance of such IRs, which scale with 1/ *, are only a fraction of a percent and even this small acceptance requires sextupole correction –A short drift between a 2-bend achromat requires very deep minima – and at least two. –A 1% deviation in momentum will exhibit very different optical functions from the central momentum and cannot be controlled or matched into EMMA.
FFAG Design Considerations cont… Matching or ~canceling D’ further requires either –Reflection symmetry about the center point between bends –Adjustment, then fixing the bend from the ERLP – given the fixed bend in the septum Matching a different injection energy into EMMA requires a different D and D’ and therefore the value of this bend must change with energy. A 3- bend design is also very constrained and difficult to vary.
FFAG 2-bend solution 360 of phase advance + fixed bends
FFAG Proposed Solution : 4-bend design With a 4 bend design one can lengthen the injection line considerably and allow for the critical, dispersion-free, transverse emittance measurement from the ERLP. The 4-bend solution permits tuning and matching if designed as follows: –Two –same sign center bends effectively compensate for each other with 180 of phase advance between the two. –The “reverse-bend” septum is paired with an ~ equal bend from the ERLP. Now only 180 of bend is required outside of the insert between the two center bends. This remaining phase advance between the septum and this insert and the insert and the bend to the ERLP can be adjusted to match and cancel D’ and track matching conditions at different injection energies. –The two center bends can be changed together to align the line into EMMA.
FFAG Center - Insert Center bends Septum – set to 0 1 st bend from ERLP – set to 0
FFAG 4-bends – canceling Septum – set to 75 1 st bend from ERLP – set to 75

FFAG Outside vs. Inside Outside injection –Line 1 is too short to support matching, diagnostics, and vertical phase space painting, and dispersion suppression –Line 2 horizontal bends are too close, required phase advance for dispersion suppression is impossible Inside injection –Long line, easily match to required phase advance for dispersion suppression and accommodate other functions
FFAG Injection kicker locations : same kickers MeV MeV ~50mr/ kicker Injection septum Injection kicker #1 Injection kicker #2
FFAG Extraction kickers: 10 – 20 MeV Extraction kicker #1 Extraction kicker #2 Extraction septum
FFAG Proposal When studying the higher energies, 15-20, use all kickers for injection –Resonance study – no acceleration –For long-term resonance studies, there is time to re-fire the kickers for extraction –Or beam simply slowly dissipates –For quick resonances, it is likely we won’t have time to trigger and extract anyway. –New strength requirements would be half – or ~25 MeV
