Field interference studies between bump magnets with different coil structures at Chinese Spallation Neutron Source

Abstract

For magnets arranged so closely that the distance between them is comparable to the magnet apertures, the field interference becomes important. This is the case in the injection region at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) where several bump magnets are used to create fixed and dynamic local orbit bumps for the beam injection using the H ÿ stripping and the phase space painting method. The reduction in the field integral due to the field interference will cause an orbit distortion, and the orbit bumps will be no longer localized. It is found that the end coil structure plays an important role in reducing the fringe field of a magnet. This has been analyzed by using both the image current method and three-dimensional magnetic field calculations. The saddle end coil instead of the compact end coil has been adopted at the CSNS. The relative reduction in the field integration after the optimization can meet the design requirement of about 1% or less.
