Beam-dynamics design and performance of the rf deflector in the Los Alamos single-beam funnel experiment
Funnels in which two bunched ion beams are interlaced to form a single beam have been proposed for high-current low-emittance ion linacs. A well-designed funnel would produce a beam with twice the frequency and current and almost twice the brightness of each original beam. A single-beam funnel experiment exploring the beam- dynamics and physics issues of a discrete-element future has been completed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The only known beam-dynamics issue of concern in a two-beam funnel not addressed was the beam-beam interaction, which is negligible. The rf deflector, in which beam merging occurs, is a key component of a discrete-element funnel. We report the beam-dynamics design procedure and experimental results for the rf deflector. 8 refs., 5 figs.
