LASL High-Current Proton Storage Ring

Accelerator technology program. Progress report, January-June 1981

“…It has long been recognized that the field stripping of ions sets practical limits on the magnetic fields used for beam transport of H" ions. The dissociation-rate measurements of Stinson et al 1 were made as part of the TRIUMF H" ion cyclotron design effort. Tne L^MPF measurement 2 extends the d6'a to rates that were previously unmeasured and confers the theoretical form predicted by Scherk.…”

“…Such a beam could be injected into the 800-MeV proton accumulator ring, now under construction at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, by drifting it through bending and focusing magnets in the ring lattice. 1 This injection method would avo<d the substantial ion optical engineering problems associated with the application of a single-step, charge-changing injection method at 800 MeV.…”

“…More details of this design were reported at the 1981 Particle Accelerator Conference. 1 A second Xenon RFQ design, called ANL6, was done at the request of ANL for a possible second low-velocity accelerator for their heavy ion fusion accelerator program. The parameters and performance are presented in Table VIII.…”
