Andreas Peters, Peter Forck BIW `06, May 1st 2006 Beam Diagnostic Challenges in the FAIR Project 9 Challenges in the Accelerator Parameters (1)  Fast cycling superconducting magnets: For SIS 100 superconducting magnets (2 T) with 4 T/s ramping rate are required. SIS 300 will be equipped with 6 T (1 T/s) dipole magnets. The optimization of the magnet field quality for low loss, high current operation with beams filling large parts of the acceptance is of great importance.  Control of the dynamic vacuum pressure caused by beam loss induced desorption of heavy molecules, which can cause the rapid increase of the residual gas pressure  a novel collimation concept is presently under test at the SIS18.  Cooled secondary beams: Fast electron and stochastic cooling at medium and at high energies will be essential for experiments with exotic ions and with antiprotons.  High RF voltage gradients: The fast acceleration and bunch compression of intense heavy-ion beams down to ~60 nanosecond bunch length (protons: ~25 ns) requires compact RF systems. Complex RF manipulations with minimum phase space dilution and the reduction of the total beam loading in the RF systems are important R&D issues.  Operation with high brightness, high current beams: The synchrotrons will operate close to the space charge limits with tolerable beam losses of the order of a few percent. The control of collective instabilities and the reduction of the ring impedances is a subject for the R&D phase.

Andreas Peters, Peter Forck BIW `06, May 1st 2006 Beam Diagnostic Challenges in the FAIR Project 11 General Challenges for Beam Diagnostics (1)  Despite quite different beam parameters of the FAIR synchrotrons and storage rings, common realizations of SIS100, SIS300 and all storage ring diagnostics are mandatory to save man-power and costs during the R&D phase and enable a cost reduction due to the large quantities during the construction phase.  Large dynamic range, e.g. in SIS100: from low currents beams for adjustments up to space charge limited intensities of heavy ions, from long bunches at injections up to short pulses after bunch rotation / compression.  Because the acceptance was limited to 3*emittance (KV-Distribution) in the synchrotrons and 2*emittance in the transfer lines, a precise alignment of the beam in the vacuum pipe is strongly advised. The beam diagnostics system has to allow a precise orbit measurement and the capability for online feedback on the closed orbit, on the betatron tune, on chromaticity and on coupling.  If the loss budget in the superconducting synchrotrons is only a few percent, current measurements with high accuracy (~10 -4 ) for controlling beam losses are mandatory.

Andreas Peters, Peter Forck BIW `06, May 1st 2006 Beam Diagnostic Challenges in the FAIR Project 12 General Challenges for Beam Diagnostics (2)  Due to the compactness of all accelerators the repetition rates are quite high (up to the MHz region), which is a challenging task e.g. for turn-by-turn profile measurements based on a RGM system.  Additional constraints have to be fulfilled, which are sometimes challenging:  installations in cryogenic parts of the accelerators,  UHV conditions (pressure: 5× mbar) and  high radiation levels.  The complex, „quasi-parallel“ operation scheme demands a highly reliable and flexible data acquisition system adapted to the fast pulsed machines parameters.  Complicated scheme of transport lines with high diversity of magnetic rigidities.

Andreas Peters, Peter Forck BIW `06, May 1st 2006 Beam Diagnostic Challenges in the FAIR Project 13 General Challenges for Beam Diagnostics (3)  Schematic view of FAIR beam transport lines  Total length of about 2350 m of all beam lines (excluding Antiproton-Separator, FLAIR beam lines,...), divided in 46 sections with differing parameters.  In the transfer lines the high dynamic range of intensities and energies as well as ion species leads to the necessity of destructive measurement methods needed for low currents and in parallel to non- destructive devices for high currents which would destroy any material in the beam optical path.

Severe problem of GSI DCCT: Above specific levels of beam current and/or revolution frequency the loop starts to oscillate (right). Mostly it gets back control. But: Did it settle to the correct working point ?
