Abstract

The Cornell-BNL Electron Test Accelerator (CBETA), a 150 MeV energy recovery linac (ERL) now in construction at Cornell, employs a fixedfield alternating gradient (FFAG) optics return loop: a single beam line comprised of quadrupole doublet cells, which accepts four recirculated energies. CBETA FFAG cell uses Halbach permanent magnet technology, its design studies have covered an extended period of time supported all the way by extensive particle dynamics simulations using computed 3-D field map models. This approach, which supported the choice of Halbach technology for CBETA FFAG ERL in 2016, is discussed and illustrated here based on the final stage in these beam dynamics studies, namely the validation of a ultimate, optimized design of the cell.

Simulation of the CBETA 4-pass FFAG ERL using field maps — exclusively

Journal Article Meot, Francois; Berg, J.; Brooks, S.; ... - International Journal of Modern Physics A

The Cornell-BNL Electron Test Accelerator (CBETA), a four-pass, 150 MeV energy recovery linac (ERL), is now in construction at Cornell. Commissioning commenced on March 2019. A particularity of CBETA is that a single channel loop recirculates the four energies (42, 78, 114 and 150 MeV). The return loop arcs are based on fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) optics. The loop is comprised of 107 quadrupole-doublet cells, built using Halbach permanent magnet technology. Spreader and combiner sections (4 independent beam lines each) connect the 36 MeV linac to the FFAG arcs. We introduce here a start-to-end simulation of the 4-pass ERL, based entirely, and exclusively,more »« less

Initial performance of the magnet system in the splitter/combiner section of the Cornell-Brookhaven Energy-Recovery Linac Test Accelerator

Technical Report Crittenden, J.; Berg, J.

The Cornell-Brookhaven Energy-recovery Linac Test Ac- celerator is a four-pass, 150-MeV electron accelerator with a six-cell 1.3 GHz superconducting-RF linear accelerator and a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) return loop made up of Halbach-style quadrupole magnets. The optics matching between the linear accelerator and the return loop is achieved with a conventional magnet system comprised of 50 dipole magnets and 64 quadrupole magnets in four beamlines at each end of the linac. The 42-, 78-, 114- and 150-MeV electron beams are separated into independent vacuum chambers in order to allow for the path-length ad- justment required by energy recovery. We report onmore »« less

Permanent magnets for the return loop of the Cornell-Brookhaven energy recovery linac test accelerator

Journal Article Brooks, Stephen; Mahler, G.; Cintorino, J.; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

214 neodymium permanent magnets have been manufactured for the return loop of the CBETA multi-turn ERL at Cornell University. There are 5 types of quadrupole and combined-function gradient magnets using a variant of the circular Halbach design. These are made out of NdFeB material and glued into an aluminium housing with water channels for temperature stabilisation. The NdFeB wedges and magnet construction were done by outside companies, while the final “tuning” using inserts containing 64 iron rods per magnet was done at BNL over a period of about 6 months. Average relative field errors of 2.2×10^-4 were achieved on themore »« less

Design of a modified Halbach magnet for the CBETA Project

Technical Report Tsoupas, Nicholaos; Berg, J.; Brooks, S.; ...

A modified Halbach magnet has been designed to be installed in the splitter/merger section of the CBETA project which is under construction at Cornell University. The splitter/merger of the CBETA consists of 4 beam lines and is shown in Fig. 1. Two of the functions of the splitter/merger lines are; first to match the beam parameters at the exit of the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) to those at the entrance of the Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) arc, and second to place the trajectories of the reference particles of the beam bunches at the entrance of the FFAG arc onmore »« less
