The Project-X E kin =8 GeV beam line consists of 6 sections: a)matching section between Linac and FODO lattice, b)amplitude collimation (3 cells without bending magnets), c)momentum collimation and jitter correction section (6 cells with dipoles), d)straight section is included for proper positioning of the Linac and beam line at the Fermilab site (6 cells), e)second part of momentum collimation (6 cells) and f)matching section between FODO lattice and Recycler Ring. The location of stripping foils and beam dumps are shown by a vertical bars directed down in in the bottom figure.

An amplitude and momentum collimation is done by stripping of H - ions at the foil located upstream of the focusing quadrupole and then intercepting of H o atoms and protons (H + ) by the beam dump located in 5 m downstream of the focusing quadrupole.

H - stripping due to Blackbody radiation The Doppler Effect (top figure) shifts lab frame infrared photons (green curve) to energies (blue and magenta) in excess of the range where the cross section of photodetachment (red) is large. The stripping rate is increased by 3 order of magnitude with H - ions energy rise from 0.8 to 8 GeV (middle). The beam pipe temperature (bottom) lowered to liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) permits to decrease the photodetachment rate by 3 order of magnitude. Ref.

Magnetic field stripping When an H - ion with momentum P moves in magnetic field B, it experi- ences an electric field E that is the Lorentz-transform of the magnetic field in the lab system: The stripping of H - ions by the magnetic field (Lorentz stripping) was calculated using (M.A.Furman) equation for ion's lifetime in its own rest frame system. In a range of E= MV/cm A=3.073e-14 s-MV/cm C=44.14 MV/cm. The mean decay length in the lab system is The stripping probability was calculated as Ref. G.M.Stinson et al., Nucl. Instr. & Meth. 74, 333 (1969) The rates of stripping in the Pc= GeV beam line elements Blackbody at 300 K: 5.7e-07 1/m Residual gas at P=1e-08 torr: 1.8e-08 1/m Magnetic field at 500 Gauss: 6.4e-10 1/m A sum of stripping probabilities at each element of beam line for every particle of the beam was calculated using STRUCT.

Lifetime of Stark States Hydrogen Atom in Magnetic Field Calculation and Estimation of Losses at Stripping Injection W. Chou, A.Drozhdin, Oct The energy level of the hydrogen atom n is split in the uniform electric field into n(n+1)/2 sublevels [1]. Each sublevel can be characterized by a set of parabolic quantum numbers n 1, n 2, m such that the principal quantum number n = n 1 + n 2 + m + 1. The value of Г is inversely proportional to the lifetime of the atomic state. An Asymptotic formulae for Г is obtained by R.Damburg and V.Kolosov, see ref. at the next page: (8) where Expanding R in power series of F, we obtain (9), F - electric field strength, E o - energy level.

May 29, 2012 A.Drozhdin Lifetime T=1/Г of Stark states hydrogen atoms in magnetic field corresponding to electric field for hydrogen atoms of Pc= GeV was calculated using equation 11. Lifetime is in a laboratory frame. An example for magnetic field of 0.15 T: The life time of H o atoms with n=3 is T=2e-09 sec. An average path length for this particle will be S=3e+08m/s*2e-09s>0.6m. These particles may survive or will be stripped to protons along the magnet, and may produce losses in the accelerator. Particles with n>3 will be stripped to protons very shortly at the entrance of this magnet and they will not increase the emittance of the circulating beam. Pc= GeV

May 29, 2012 A.Drozhdin A stripping probability of Pc= GeV H o Stark states hydrogen atoms in the B=1.2T bump-magnet HBC3: Atoms with n>1 pass less than 3mm, they will be stripped very shortly and will go to the circulating beam without emittance increase. The life time of H o atoms with n=1 is >100m. These atoms are survive and will go to the beam dump. If the stripping efficiency is 99% (at foil thicknes of 500μg/cm 2 ), the power load to the dump is 0.9% of injected beam power. B=0.055T B=1.2T
