质子行波直线加速器的束流动力学模拟程序设计

Development of a Beam Dynamics Design Code for Proton Travelling Wave Linacs

  • 摘要: 近年来质子加速器技术因在癌症治疗、工业加工及科学研究中的广泛应用而备受关注。随着工作于GHz频段的高梯度射频加速结构的突破,紧凑型质子直线加速器的性能得以显著提升。尽管驻波加速结构已有成熟的设计程序,但行波加速结构的设计程序仍存在明显缺口。本研究提出了一种新型粒子动力学跟踪(PDT)代码,基于加速单元电磁场分布,可同时用于驻波和行波结构的束流动力学设计。与广泛使用的商业加速器束流动力学仿真软件TraceWin进行了比较测试,结果表明在能量增益和束流包络等方面都具有良好的一致性。该程序已应用于一个工作于2.856 GHz的射频频率和5π/6模式下的30~100 MeV低流强返行波质子直线加速器的束流动力学设计中。该直线加速器全长约3 m,由10个加速段和10个四极永磁磁铁组成,加速梯度为30 MV/m,具有完全传输和低发射度增长的特点。

     

    Abstract: Recent advancements in proton accelerator technology have sparked growing research interest due to expanding applications in cancer therapy, industrial processing, and scientific investigations. The development of high-gradient radio frequency (RF) accelerating structures operating at GHz frequencies has enabled compact proton linacs with enhanced performance. While extensive design codes exist for standing wave structures, a notable gap remains in design code for travelling wave structures. This work presents a novel particle dynamics tracking (PDT) code capable of beam dynamics design for both standing wave and travelling wave accelerating structures based on unit cell electromagnetic field distribution. The benchmark against the commercial linac beam dynamics simulation code TraceWin demonstrates good agreement in energy gain and beam envelope. The code has been applied in the beam dynamics design of a 30~100 MeV low current backward travelling wave proton linac, which operates at RF frequency of 2.856 GHz and working at 5π/6 mode. The linac spans a total length of approximately 3 m, comprising 10 tanks and 10 permanent magnet quadrupoles. It operates with a 30 MV/m accelerating gradient, characterized by full transmission and low emittance growth.
