Simulation and steering in the Intertank matching section of the ground test accelerator
- Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 (United States)
The Intertank Matching Section (IMS) of the Ground Test Accelerator (GTA) is a short (36 cm) beamline designed to match the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) exit beam into the first Drift Tube LINAC (DTL) tank. The IMS contains two steering quadrupoles (SMQS) and four variable-field focusing quads (VFQs). The SMQs are fixed strength permanent magnet quadrupoles on mechanical actuators capable of transverse movement for the purpose of steerng the beam. Also contained in the IMS are two RF cavities for longitudinal matching. A comparison of measured to calculated steering coefficients has been made for data aken in 3 different tunes of the IMS transport line.
