Abstract

The goal of the proposed three-stage cylotron complex is to deliver a continuous external high energy (in the 1 GeV range) proton beam of the order 10 mA for driving the Energy Amplifier, a hybrid sub-critical nuclear system, which is being deveoped at CERN and whose principles have been successfully tested during the first experimental programme [1]. This accelerator consists of two 10 MeV injectors feeding a four separated sector magnet iscochronous ring from which a 120 MeV beam is injected into a large ring cylotron with ten separated spiral sector magnets. In this final booster six cavities operating at 42 MHz will provide an egenrgy gain per turn of 6 MeV in order to get a sufficient turn separation on the extraction radius. The maximum available current depends mainly on the beam quality on the extraction radius of the various cylotrons. This report summarizes the main fields of work carried out during these preliminary studies.

Particle beam

A particle beam is a stream of charged or neutral particles. In particle accelerators, these particles can move with a velocity close to the speed of light. There is a difference between the creation and control of charged particle beams and neutral particle beams, as only the first type can be manipulated to a sufficient extent by devices based on electromagnetism. The manipulation and diagnostics of charged particle beams at high kinetic energies using particle accelerators are main topics of accelerator physics.

Electric current

An electric current is a flow of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is defined as the net rate of flow of electric charge through a surface. The moving particles are called charge carriers, which may be one of several types of particles, depending on the conductor. In electric circuits the charge carriers are often electrons moving through a wire. In semiconductors they can be electrons or holes.

Linear particle accelerator

A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to a high speed by subjecting them to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline. The principles for such machines were proposed by Gustav Ising in 1924, while the first machine that worked was constructed by Rolf Widerøe in 1928 at the RWTH Aachen University.
