Beam Loss Control on the ESS Accumulator Rings* C M Warsop Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire, UK Abstract. The requirements for beam loss control on the 1.334GeV accumulator rings of the European Spallation Source are summarised. The main features of the beam loss collector system design are described, along with the underlying aims. Use of a specially developed code to test the proposed system under most foreseeable loss conditions, with machine errors, is described. Predicted collection efficiencies, in terms of localisation and surviving halo, are given. Simulations indicate that the required uncontrolled loss levels of <1 W/m over most of the machine will be achievable. INTRODUCTION The ESS Accelerators [1] provide 5 MW of beam power for a short pulse length, 50 Hz spallation target. The ~ 1.0ms pulse from the linac is compressed to ~1 |is by two accumulator rings, operating in parallel at 50 Hz. During the ~600 turn charge-exchange injection, 2.34xl014 protons are accumulated in each ring. The 1.334GeV H" linac provides a mean and peak current of 70 and 114mA respectively, chopped at 70% duty factor, at the revolution frequency of the rings, 1.242 MHz. This allows lossless capture in the ring RF system, maintaining a gap for extraction. After fast extraction from each ring, beams are brought together in the target transport line. The need for low and controlled loss has dominated the machine design. Key measures for loss control in the rings include 3D collimation in the injection line, highly optimised injection with 3D painting which minimises proton foil traversals. The concern here is control of lost protons, once they enter the acceptance of the ring [2]. To allow hands on maintenance, loss levels over most of the machine (uncontrolled loss) should not exceed 1 W/m levels. To achieve this, collimator systems localise most loss (controlled loss) in dedicated, well shielded regions of the machine. Expected and Possible Losses Regular losses, occurring operationally, 24 hours a day will dominate activation levels. There are unavoidable losses associated with foil interactions, expected at 0.01% levels, manifested as transverse emittance growth and energy loss. Unexpected effects, or non-optimal set up, may lead to some transverse and longitudinal loss. Important examples requiring precautions are possible space charge emittance growth and extraction loss. Also important are fault losses, where high loss levels trip off the beam. Up to a full beam pulse may require efficient removal, and fault scenarios may lead to loss in any plane. Highest priorities are for control of foil related losses, and transverse losses. For comprehensive protection, provision is also made for general longitudinal losses. 1. LOSS COLLECTION SYSTEMS Betatron and Momentum Tail System The main betatron collimation system is placed downstream from injection, in a dedicated, well shielded, dispersionless straight. For each transverse plane, the design is based on a standard two stage betatron collimation configuration [3], with long primary jaws followed by secondary jaws at relative betatron phases of 90° and 163°. The latter is given by ISO-//, with cos ju = ^(£pl£s). Painted emittance, primary (^), secondary (es) and aperture acceptances are 150, 260, 285 and 480 n mm mr, respectively. The secondary collimation limit is chosen on the basis of expected alignment, and also to protect the extraction system. Additional protective collimation is included at 20° and 32°. To enhance protection, jaws are double (both sides of the beam). This configuration is efficient over a wide range of loss modes. Placement of the primary jaw 180° from the injection point provides collimation of the low momentum tail generated at the foil. General Momentum System This consists of single stage collimation placed at the first dispersion peak after the betatron system. It is provided as a precaution against error conditions, and for removal of out-scatter from the betatron system.
