An Alternative Injection Scheme for Heavy Ions into the Booster
- Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)
At the present time, protons and heavy ions are injected and stacked in the booster phase space via two quite distinct techniques. For protons, an H- beam is first passed through a stripping foil, which converts about 100% of H- to protons. For this purpose, during injection the closed orbit of the synchrotron is locally moved to the injection orbit where the stripping foil is located. In this way the converging protons already stacked and H- beam merge tangentially at the foil location because of the exact but opposite nature of their charges. For a detailed description of the magnet geometry, see the Booster manual. This technique is very efficient and preserves the "roundness" of the beam.
