Abstract

The bunch rotation exchange of time for momentum spread in the Fermilab Antiproton Source is dependent upon proton bunch narrowing at 120 GeV in the Main Accelerator. The original procedure proposed to accomplish bunch narrowing involved adiabatic reduction of the Main Ring rf voltage (and bucket height) until the bunches span approximately + or -..pi../2 radians in the bucket, followed by a sudden increase in rf voltage causing bunch rotation within the now mismatched bucket and consequent bunch narrowing in time spread. This procedure suffers from several draw-backs. One fundamental problem is that during the adiabatic portion of the procedure the bunches are caused to have a very low momentum spread and to remain in this condition for many phase oscillation periods. In this circumstance the bunches may be subject to microwave instability which would limit the momentum spread reduction and consequently the final bunch length. A second problem with the procedure is simply that it requires an inordinately long time and may at some point limit the cycle time and consequently the antiproton production rate. Thirdly, since antiprotons are produced by a single batch of 83 bunches occupying only 1/13 of the 1113 Main Ring buckets, the beam qualitymore »« less

Bunch coalescing in the main ring to form intense proton and antiproton bunches without RF counterphasing

Technical Report Griffin, J E ; MacLachlan, J A ; Nicholls, G N ; ...

Both the proton and antiproton bunches which will collide in the Tevatron have longitudinal emittance greater than can be accelerated by the main ring from 8 GeV without large loss and emittance growth. We have previously described the technique of combining several smaller bunches at the Tevatron injection energy with little increase in the total emittance and negligible loss. This technique requires adiabatic debunching of several adjacent 53 MHz bunches by smooth reduction of the RF voltage from approx. 1 MV to approx. 100 V. The very low voltage is extremely difficult to attain with a high-Q system designed formore »« less

RF exercises associated with acceleration of intense antiproton bunches at Fermilab

Conference Griffin, J E ; MacLaclan, J A ; Qian, Z B - IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)

Antiprotons for the Fermilab p/sup -/p colliding beam project (Tevatron I) will be extracted from an 8 GeV accumulation ring in a few (1 to 3) bunches of about 10/sup 11/, a single bunch at a time. To preserve the stack as a source of subsequent bunches, each bunch will be removed from the dense core of the stack with an isolated bucket at harmonic number h = 2. The longitudinal emittance of the bunches will be in range 1.5 to 2.0 eV, roughly five times what the Main Ring usually accelerates with the installed 53 MHz rf system. Therefore,more »« less
Time and momentum exchange for production and collection of intense antiproton beams at Fermilab

Conference Griffin, J ; MacLachlan, J ; Ruggiero, A G ; ... - IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)

Antiprotons for the Fermilab p/sup -/p colliding beam project are accumulated by rf stacking of successive 8 GeV antiproton batches in a storage ring using stochastic cooling to reduce both transverse and longitudinal emittance. The rate of accumulation is increased 15-fold by interchange of bunch length and momentum spread of the antiproton bunches in a special purpose debuncher ring. Tightly bunched antiprotons are produced at the target by 120 GeV protons from the Main Ring. From 2.5x10/sup 12/ protons every 2 seconds the debuncher receives 7x10/sup 7/ antiprotons within a momentum bite ..delta..p/p=3%. These antiprotons are injected into mismatched stationarymore »« less
Bunch coalescing in the Fermilab Main Ring

Conference Wildman, D ; Martin, P ; Meisner, K ; ...

A new rf system has been installed in the Fermilab Main Ring to coalesce up to 13 individual bunches of protons or antiprotons into a single high-intensity bunch. The coalescing process consists of adiabatically reducing the h = 1113 Main Ring rf voltage from 1 MV to less than 1 kV, capturing the debunched beam in a linearized h = 53 and h = 106 bucket, rotating for a quarter of a synchrotron oscillation period, and then recapturing the beam in a single h = 1113 bucket. The new system will be described and the results of recent coalescing experimentsmore »« less

Design of the RF cavity and power amplifier for the Fermilab antiproton source

Journal Article Griffin, J E ; MacLachlan, J A ; Moretti, A - IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)

In the Fermilab program for production of an intense antiproton beam, trains of 82 short antiproton bunches (1 nsec) separated by 18.8 nsec are produced with a large momentum spread about a mean energy of 8.9 GeV. The bunch trains are delivered to a Debuncher ring where a 3% momentum bite is reduced to about 0.2% by exchanging momentum spread for time spread. This exchange is a two step process involving synchrotron rotation of the bunches in mismatched buckets followed by adiabatic debunching. During the bunch rotation the rf system is required to provide a stable rf voltage of 5more »« less
