MEBT Bunchers: System Design Document (SDD)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2563098· OSTI ID:2563098
The LAMP Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) transfers bunched beam at the energy 3 MeV from RFQ to the Drift-Tube Linac (DTL) entrance. The beam particles (protons or H- ) in the LAMP MEBT have velocity β = v/c = 0.08, where v is the beam velocity, c is the speed of light. The MEBT bunchers keep beam bunches from spreading longitudinally as they propagate through the MEBT, where some unwanted bunches are removed by a chopper to create a required beam pattern. The MEBT bunchers are RF cavities operating at the frequency 201.25 MHz; possible design options were considered in.
