SNS RING INJECTION STRIPPED ELECTRON COLLECTION: DESIGN ANALYSIS AND TECHNICAL ISSUES.
This paper describes the simulation studies on the motions of stripped electrons generated in the injection section of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accumulator ring and the effective collection mechanism. Such studies are important for high intensity machines, in order to reduce beam loss and protect other components in the vicinity. The magnetic field is applied to guide electrons to a collector, which is located at the bottom of the beam vacuum chamber. Part of the study results with and without considering the interactions between electrons and materials are presented and discussed. The final engineering design of the electron collector (catcher). The electron multi-pacting induced by beam loss and residual gas ionization along the ring has been studied in detail [l]. In the SNS accumulator ring straight section, electrons are stripped from the injected H{sup -} beam through a carbon foil. These protons must make 1100 turns to be compressed from 1 ms Linac pulse into a 700 ns bunch with 2E14 protons. The stripped electrons will have the same initial velocity but twice the intensity (current) of the H{sup -} beam. In this paper, we report the studies on electrons, and the optimum design of the collector.
