In this paper, we report the design and simulation of a wire scanner for the linac of the CSNS (China Spallation Neutron Source). The wire scanner is used to measure the transverse beam profile and the emittance. The effect of beam energy change upon the mechanical design of the wire scanner must be considered. The simulation results of heat on the two specified wires, tungsten and carbon, by using the finite element method software, ANSYS, are presented. In addition, the effect of wire deformation on the beam profile measurement is qualitatively analyzed, and the signal level of the wire scanner is discussed.
To develop the high power proton linear accelerator for the Accelerator Driven System (ADS) program, the preliminary design of the Pi mode accelerating structure (PIMS) has been carried out. It is estimated that PIMS would heat up to 80 °C for low duty cycle (0.1%) without water-cooling, which is not acceptable, thus water-cooling is demanded. The structure stability for the high duty cycle or even for CW operation is crucially important for the ADS application. Therefore, thermal analysis with water-cooling for a high duty accelerator in our ADS research is performed to control the frequency shift caused by a temperature rise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
