Acceleration of RIB using linacs
Moriond Meeting 17-21/3/2003
Ideal RIB accelerator requirements
• Acceleration of all possible radioactive beams
• All possible final energies up to ~ 100 MeV/u, finely tuneable
• Capability of acceleration of singly charged ions
• Very good beam quality up to at least 10 MeV/u
• Affordable construction and operation cost
• reliability, easy maintenance, easy beam set-up and operation, etc.
Moriond Meeting 17-21/3/2003
RIB accelerators special constraints
• Variable q/A beams
– Efficiency in a wide range of q/A
– Wide acceptance in : acceleration with variable velocity profiles is
desirable
• Very low current beams
– negligible beam loading: Rf power efficiency
– Stability and large acceptance
– Very high transmission efficiency, aiming to 100%

SRL simulations results for different modes of operation
1. No stripping (prob. most experiments)• E max 60 MeV/u • Transmission 100% Single charge beam• x y 0.5(0.25) mm mrad, z 0.7 keV/u ns (5 rms)
2. Stripper 2 only• E max 93 MeV/u • transmission 94% Multiple charge beam• x y 0.6(0.3) mm mrad, z 1.4 keV/u ns (5 rms)
3. Strippers 1 and 2• E max 100 MeV/u• Transmission 74% Multiple charge beam• x y 1(0.5) mm mrad, z 10(2) keV/u ns (5 rms)
N.B: 2 Strippers make the linac relatively insensitive to the charge breeder performance: with initial charge of 13+ instead of 25+, the final energy would be 95 MeV/u

Acceleration of different q/A beamswith 2-gap cavities
• Recent developments in SC linac technologymultiple charge beam transport beam stripping and high transmission
Superconducting cavites high gradients, wide acceptance
• High charge breeding is not strictly necessary – (but some charge breeding saves a lot of money)
• SC linacs can provide– RIB acceleration with finely tuneable energy and good beam quality
– High acceleration and transmission efficiency
– Large acceptance in q/A low mass selectivity, but also
