Dipole steering of QWRs Steering: Δy’ [mrad] with respect to β after beam axis shift Dipole steering effect of QWR can be mitigated by Tilting beam port faces Race-track shaped beam port Shifting beam-axis We chose ‘3’ for simplicity, but either ‘1’ or ‘2’ will be used for actual fabrication before beam axis shift By shifting beam axis 0.024 mm and 0.26 mm upward, steering (~0.7 mrad) reduced to ≤ 0.1 mrad

MEBT (from RFQ to ISOL Linac) There are many possible different options One example: 3-m long 1-rebuncher system Design of more flexible 2-rebuncher MEBT for multi-charge RIBs is under progress
180°bending section This is to insert ISOL beams into the IFF Linac Consists of two symmetric, achromatic 90° sections
Charge stripping section Charge stripping section is located at the end of ISOL Linac, just before the bending section, with a carbon-foil of thickness 0.3 mg/cm2 Lise++ code has been used for simulation for 132Sn isotope Charge distribution w.r.t. beam energy
Energy [KeV/u] and angular [mrad] struggling w.r.t. foil-thickness At E=17.5 MeV/u, 98 % of beams will be captured (with Δq/q ≤ 5 %)
Trace3D simulation for on-momentum Trace3D simulation for off-momentum (Δp/p= 5 %)
Discussions Some elementary parts of “Conceptual Design of SC ISOL Linac” have been done, but there remain tons of further works to be done: Microphonics issues, tuners, RF power couplers, end-to-end simulations with errors, and so on. To secure successful construction of KoRIA, we need To put much more efforts, To build the lab where we can fabricate/test prototypes of SC cavities as soon as possible, Strong international cooperation, and so on.
Alternatives for overall ISOL-Linac Layout “Option A” is our original choice, which is the simplest choice but most in-efficient (requires huge banding magnets) “Option B & C” are more efficient, but the overall system becomes complicated
