Countable connected spaces and bunches of arcs in R3
2006
Abstract We investigate the images (also called quotients) of countable connected bunches of arcs in R 3 , obtained by shrinking the arcs to points (see Section 2 for definitions of new terms). First, we give an intrinsic description of such images among T 1 -spaces: they are precisely countable and weakly first countable spaces. Moreover, an image is first countable if and only if it can be represented as a quotient of another bunch with its projection hereditarily quotient (Theorem 2.7). Applying this result we see, for instance, that two classical countable connected T 2 -spaces—the Bing space [R.H. Bing, A connected countable Hausdorff space, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 4 (1953) 474], and th…
Space-Charge Effects with REXTRAP
2001
The beam quality of radioactive ion beams produced by present target ion source technology is often not sufficient for direct post-acceleration. Furthermore, pulsed beams insure a more efficient use of an accelerator. In the case of REX-ISOLDE, the post accelerator at the CERN ISOLDE facility, a gas-filled Penning trap (REXTRAP) has been chosen for accumulation of the radioactive ions and conversion into cooled bunches. Radial centering of the ions is achieved by applying an rf field with a frequency equal to the cyclotron frequency of the desired ion species. The efficiency achieved in the first tests with different isotopes covering nearly the entire mass range was already >20%. Going to …
Time Characteristics of the Ion Beam Cooler-Buncher at JYFL
2001
A beam cooler for low-energy ion beams was constructed to improve the ion optical properties of radioactive ion beams produced at the IGISOL facility in Jyvaskyla. The beam cooler is a buffer gas filled RF-quadrupole. The delay properties and the possibility to accumulate a continuous IGISOL beam and release it in short bunches is discussed.
An FPGA based Topological Processor Prototype for the ATLAS Level-1 Trigger Upgrade
2012
By 2014 the LHC will collide proton bunches at 14TeV with an increased instantaneous luminosity up to 3·10³⁴cm⁻²s⁻¹. The resulting higher event rate will challenge the existing ATLAS trigger system. A reduction on the trigger rate can be achieved by selecting interesting channels based on their expected decay topology and thus reducing background. This will be achieved by introducing of a new FPGA based module in the Level-1 trigger: the Topological Processor L1Topo. With L1Topo it will be possible for the first time to concentrate detailed information from the entire calorimeters and the muon detector into a single module. L1Topo will receive a total aggregate bandwidth of 1Tb/s. The data …
Accelerating Radioactive Ion Beams With REX-ISOLDE
2003
The post accelerator REX‐ISOLDE is installed at the ISOLDE facility at CERN, where a broad variety of radioactive ions can be addressed. Since the end of 2001 beams at the final energy of 2.2 MeV/u are available. REX‐ISOLDE uses a unique system of beam bunching and charge breeding. First a Penning trap accumulates and bunches the ions, which are delivered as a quasi‐continuous beam from the ISOLDE target‐ion‐source, and then an electron beam ion source (EBIS) charge‐breeds them to a mass‐to‐charge ratio below 4.5. This enables a very compact design for the following LINAC, consisting of a 4 rod RFQ, an IH structure and three 7‐gap‐resonators. The later ones allow a variation of the final en…
Relative phase locking of pulses in a passively mode-locked fiber laser
2003
In a passively mode-locked fiber ring laser, we report the experimental observation of relative phase locking of pulses in a wide variety of cases. Relative phase locking is observed in bunches of N pulses separated by more than 20 pulse widths as well as in close pulse pairs. In the latter case, the phase relationship between the two pulses is measured to be ±π/2, which is related to theoretical predictions formerly obtained from a Ginzburg-Landau distributed model. We have developed a simplified numerical model adapted to our laser, which keeps its essential features while significantly reducing the number of free parameters. The agreement with the experiment is excellent. © 2003 Optical …
A collision timing monitor for SuperKEKB
2017
Abstract The analysis of beamstrahlung radiation, emitted from a beam of charged particles due to the electromagnetic interaction with a second beam of charged particles, provides a diagnostic tool that can be used to monitor beam–beam collisions in a e + e − storage ring. In this paper we show that the beamstrahlung time profile is related to the timing of the collisions and the length of the beams, and how its measurement can be used to monitor and optimize collisions at the interaction point of the SuperKEKB collider. The method has a unique passive monitor capability, since it allows to monitor the timing of the collision without disturbing (scanning) the beam–beam timing, which needs t…
Ion-optical layout of a powerful next-generation pre-separator for in-flight separation of relativistic rare isotopes
2006
Abstract Rare isotope beams can be efficiently produced at relativistic energies via projectile fragmentation and projectile fission. Magnetic rigidity analysis in combination with atomic energy loss ( Bρ –Δ E – Bρ method) in profiled matter placed at dispersive focal planes represents the tool for spatial separation in flight. The next-generation in-flight separators at high energies will consist of multiple degrader stages to provide intense monoisotopic fragment beams of all elements up to uranium. The pre-separator layout with the first degrader system holds many technical challenges, e.g. to handle the high-power primary beams characterized by a large range in time structure, from a DC…
Design, construction and performance of the energy compressing system of the Mainz 300 MeV electron linac
1973
Abstract For the sake of better energy resolution of the 300 MeV electron linac of Mainz university a system has been built which transforms a sharply bunched beam of poor energy resolution into a beam of sharply defined energy, while its bunches are smeared out. The system is described, its design philosophy and some essential construction details are given. The operating experience of the last 6 months since completion of the system is communicated.
SHIPTRAP—a capture and storage facility for heavy radionuclides at GSI
2002
Abstract SHIPTRAP will be an ion-trap facility for heavy radionuclides delivered from SHIP. Ion traps are a perfect instrument for precision measurements since the ions can be cooled to an extremely small phase space and can be stored for a very long time. In addition one can achieve very high purity by removing contaminant ions. SHIPTRAP will extend the possibilities of measurements in traps to transuranium nuclides and provide cooled and isobarically pure ion bunches.
