10. 10 Bunch compression-Accumulator  Example: Compression within ~0.1s  A:Rf-60kV barrier bucket  Square wave rf  30kV also OK  B: h=4 rf 60 to 160 kV  Sinusoidal rf at~2.5 MHz  Start:±150°, σ E = 3.3MeV  ~4 batches  L = 6πσ t σ E = ~24 eV-s  Finish: σ < 40ns, σ E = 32MeV  Small dilution

11. 11 Barrier bucket in Debuncher  γ T =7.6- more isochronous  Needs less rf but more time  Compression within ~0.2s  A:Rf-14kV barrier bucket  Square wave rf  B: h=4 rf 14 to 30 kV  Sinusoidal rf ~2.5 MHz  Start:±150°, σ E = 3.3MeV  ~4 batches  L = 6πσ t σ E = ~24 eV-s  Finish: σ < 30ns, σ E = 42MeV  Small dilution

12. 12 multi-harmonic bunching  T = 7.5, C=504m  More isochronous, smoother harmonic buncher  Example: h=1, V rf = 6kV; h=2, Vrf = 70kV, h=4, V rf =200kV  0.073s for bunching

14. 14 Future Option: f Proton Driver  Fermilab may develop new proton source to replace “ 8-GeV ” Booster at a multi-MW level  Studied at Fermilab but deferred to focus on ILC  R&D continues on technology  deferral will be reevaluated as ILC develops …  Upgrade options  8-GeV SRF proton linac  Booster-like rapid-cycling synchrotron but higher intensity –Larger apertures, injection linac upgrade, deeper tunnel

18. 18 Space Charge Difficulty  Space Charge tune shift:  Parameters: N tot =1.5  10 14,ε N =120π mm-mrad  Emittance was increased to reduce δν  Booster-size Ring: 4 bunches, 4*10ns/1.5μs : B F = 0.027 → δν = ~ 0.375 : not too large  σ z = ~4ns, up to 40 Hz bunches on target  Shorter bunch possible  Smaller circumference proton ring could be better  C= 227m, 2 bunches; would obtain 20Hz on target

19. 19 Bunching example (454m ring)  Bunch to short bunches with barrier-bucket rf within ~0.05s  V rf = 250kV, 5  pulse width  Compresses to ~5ns rms  Add h=36 rf to get <3ns  Compression not optimized  smaller ring better

20. 20 270m Buncher  Bunch to short bunches with barrier-bucket rf within ~0.027s  OK  V rf = 250kV, 5  pulse width  h=2 bunches  Compresses to ~6ns rms  Add h=18 rf (2MV) to get <4ns  2ns bunches with h=4  Compression not optimized
