CRYRINGCRYRING

CRYRING is a small synchrotron and storage ring with electron cooling, built for research in atomic, molecular and nuclear physics

Design and construction of the storage ring started in 1986

The first stored beam was in January 1991

Start of experimental programme in June 1993 . .The Swedish Research Council decides to stop funding operation in June 2003 . .MSL will get a contract with the Research Council in autumn of 2008 for the transfer of CRYRING to FAIR as a Swedish in-kind contribution

CRYRING ⇨LSRCRYRING ⇨LSR

CRYRING is very well suited to its new role as antiproton (and ion) decelerator.

It has the right energy interval, fast ramping, efficient electron cooling, good vacuum, it has been running with both positive and negative ions, both for acceleration and deceleration, ...

Injection of antiprotons from NESR to LSR will be made at a fixed energy 30 MeV, and ions will be injected at the same magnetic rigidity.

Extraction of antiprotons will take place at 300 keV, equal to the injection energy of the USR. Also extraction at other energies e.g, 4.2 MeV for HITRPAP, will be possible.

Both fast (single-turn) and slow (resonant, multiturn) extraction will be implemented.

The main modifications to CRYRING are thus new injection and extraction systems.

CRYRING has a low-energy injector for singly charged ions, such as p and H–, which also will be transferred to FLAIR for commissioning of LSR, beamlines, etc. in the FLAIR hall without use of expensive antiprotons.

Installation of an ECR source for commissioning and tests with highly charged ions is being considered.

Intensity Limit in LSR/CRYRINGIntensity Limit in LSR/CRYRING

Intensity in CRYRING is limited by space-charge, causing a tune shift .

Assuming a certain permissible tune shift, the maximum intensity for (anti)protons can be plotted as a function of beam energy and emittance. In the case of a bunched beam, the maximum particle number is reduced by the bunching factor.

Ref: H. Danared et al., Proc COOL07, Bad Kreuznach 2007, p. 234, http://www.jacow.org

Maximum number of protons stored in CRYRING at 300 keV is 4.7×109, at a beam emittance of approx. 15π mm mrad horisontally and 5π mm mrad vertically, indicating a tune shift of approx. -0.1.

A similar maximum particle number of 4.1×109 has been obtained with alpha particles, which have the same r0.

These intensities were obtained by stacking, using continuous injections while electron-cooling.

The highest-intensity beams were quite unstable.

Maximum intensity at deceleration is smaller due to higher demands on stability and because of bunching – see following slides.

Electron Cooling of H− IonsElectron Cooling of H− Ions

Electron cooling is in the first approximation based on the Coulomb interaction between ions and electrons, and cooling rates should thus be sensitive only to the ion charge squared. However, the magnetic field in the cooler can make cooling

rates depend on the sign of the ion charge. Such effects were seen in measurements in Novosibirsk where a stronger drag force was observed fornegative particles.Transverse cooling of H− ions at 3 MeV (similar to expected cooling energy at FLAIR), initial emittance 5π mm mrad, which is more than expected at FLAIR. The beam reaches a cold equilibrium in ∼1.5 s.

The figure shows the vertical beam profiles, as measured with a residual-gas-ionization beam-profile monitor.

Cooling time for H− compared to previous measure-ments at CRYRING with positive ions. Electron density normalized to 1.7×1013 m−3. Cooling times for highly charged ions are scaled with q1.7/A. The points are shifted horizontally so that the time for reaching the cold equilibrium is similar for all ion species.

Conclusion 1: We do not observe a significant difference between cooling of positive and negative particles.

Conclusion 2: Cooling times are sufficiently short such that throughput of antiprotons at FLAIR will not be limited by cooling in the LSR.

Deceleration of ProtonsDeceleration of Protons

To verify the performance of CRYRING as a deceleration ring, protons have been decelerated through the same range of energies as at FLAIR, from 30 MeV to 300 keV.Injection of protons in CRYRING is always at 300 keV, so deceleration is made after acceleration to 30 MeV.

Transmission 1

Start acceleration 93 %Cooling, acceleration ramp 100 %Start deceleration 99 %Deceleration ramp 92 %

Complete cycle 0.95×0.97×0.84=85 %Deceleration only 0.99×0.92=91 %

Transmission 2

Start acceleration 95 %Cooling, acceleration ramp 100 %Start deceleration 97 %Deceleration ramp 84 %

Complete cycle 0.95×0.97×0.84=77 %Deceleration only 0.97×0.84=81 %

Conclusion: CRYRING is already able to decelerate>1×108 (anti)protons with <10 % losses in <2 s, exceeding the intensity forseen from NESR and the commissioning target set by FAIR.
