Fast Switching Magnet for Heavy Ion Beam Separation
- RadiaBeam Technologies, LLC, Santa Monica, CA (United States)
Fast magnets for multiplexing ion beams between different beamlines are technologically challenging and expensive, but there is an ever-growing need to develop such systems for beam separation at research and industrial facilities. For example, The Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) is planning to expand its operations as a multi-user facility and there is a clear need, presently unmet by the industry, for a switching magnet system with the sub-millisecond transient times.In response to this problem, RadiaBeam Technologies is developing a novel pulsed switching magnet system capable of producing a 1.1T peak field over 45 cm length with a short (<1 ms) rise and fall time. The key enabling innovation in this project is an introduction of a solid-state interposed modulator architecture, which enables to improve magnet performance and reliability and reduce the cost to a practical level.
