Title: Lattice for a 1. 1-GeV 500. mu. A fast-cycling proton synchrotron

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6197090

A very-high-intensity proton synchrotron lattice has been designed for a spallation neutron-source system. The synchrotron is to accelerate a beam of 6.25 x 10/sup 13/ protons from 200 MeV to 1100 MeV in 15 msec. One of the important concerns for high-intensity, high-rep-rate (50 pulses/sec) machines is stability of the beam. Considerations of the transverse space-charge limits and the transverse-stability criterion favor a high-tune machine over a low-tune machine of the same circumference. For these reasons, we made the tune as high as possible by making the cell length as short as possible. The lattice proposed here consists of four sectors, and each sector is made up by three FODO normal cells, four dispersion suppressor cells, and four matching and straight section cells. Then the total of 44 cells with approximately 90/sup 0//cell phase advance would make the natural tune of the machine to be near 11.
