Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of cyclotrons, and particularly relates to a beam measurement method based on a dynamic cyclotron center zone structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] In a cyclotron, the center zone refers to a transition region of a particle acceleration process from a stationary state (in the case of an internal ion source) or a low energy (in the case of an external ion source) to a certain high energy, covering the first several turns of the beam motion in the accelerator.
[0003] Because the center zone structure is complex and the beam motion is unstable, the beam loss rate of the center zone is relatively high. In the debugging process of the cyclotron, affected by non-ideal factors such as machining and installation errors, the beam loss rate of the center zone is often higher than the design value, and in some cases, the beam is completely lost in the center zone during the initial beam debugging.
[0004] The existing technology tests the beam of the center zone by regarding the center zone as a whole. When the center zone is regarded as a whole to test the beam, the measuring device or measuring position is generally placed at the outlet of the center zone. For example, a conventional method installs an internal target at the outlet of the center zone outside the center zone, and measures the beam by using the internal target.
[0005] The problem of regarding the center zone as a whole to test the beam is that only the beam intensity of the whole center zone can be measured, but the beam intensity of the local center zone cannot be measured, that is, the distribution of the beam in the center zone cannot be measured. Without the distribution, it is impossible to determine which part of the center zone has a problem. Without determining which part of the center zone has a problem, it is impossible to test the center zone in sections, and without testing the center zone in sections, it is impossible to debug the center zone in sections, which leads to the fact that the center zone can only be debugged as a whole.
[0006] The problem of debugging the center zone as a whole is that there are too many parameters affecting the beam intensity in the center zone, including more than ten parameters from the beam injection line, multiple parameters from the first high-frequency cavity, and multiple parameters from the second high-frequency cavity. At least 20 parameters are added together. Since it is not known which parameter has a problem, the 20 parameters affecting the beam intensity must be arranged and combined to check one by one when testing the beam. Assuming that the beam intensity measured by the internal target should be 100 mA, but the internal target only measures 1 mA of beam, when finding the reason, the 20 parameters affecting the beam intensity must be arranged and combined to become several hundred parameters, and the several hundred parameters must be checked one by one to find the reason for the weak beam intensity.

[0038] Advantages and effects of the application
[0039] 1. The application provides a beam measurement method based on a dynamic cyclotron center structure, which realizes the distribution measurement of the beam intensity within the center area, lays a foundation for further debugging of the ion source injection system parameters and determination of the approximate range of the ion source injection system parameters through the distribution measurement of the beam from a small radius to a large radius at a first slit, lays a foundation for the preliminary debugging of the parameter range of the first high-frequency cavity and the accurate debugging of the parameters of the ion source injection system through the distribution measurement of the beam from a small radius to a large radius at a second slit, lays a foundation for the accurate debugging of the parameters of the first high-frequency cavity and the more accurate debugging of the parameters of the ion source injection system through the distribution measurement of the beam from a small radius to a large radius at a third slit, and lays a foundation for the debugging of the parameters of the second high-frequency cavity through the distribution measurement of the beam from a small radius to a large radius at a fourth slit.
[0040] 2. The application solves the problem of the test of the beam from a small radius to a large radius at each circumferential position along the center area through the random installation and random removal of the beam slit plates, removes all the beam slit plates when the test is completed, and thus solves the problem of the radial shielding of the beam before it reaches the inner target. The application retains only the electrode columns before the current test along the beam track through the cumulative installation of the electrode columns, avoids the shielding of the beam by the redundant electrode columns before the beam reaches the inner target due to the beam deviation, and thus solves the problem of the circumferential shielding of the beam before it reaches the inner target. Since the problems of the circumferential shielding and the radial shielding of the beam in the center area are solved, the beam test task from a small radius to a large radius at each set position in the center area is completed, and the problem of the long-term inability to measure the beam intensity distribution in the center area is solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0045] The application will be further explained in combination with the accompanying drawings.
[0046] Design principle of the application
[0047] 1: The innovation point of the application is that the problem of measuring the central zone beam distribution is solved by using a dynamic central zone structure. By dynamically installing a first central zone structure, the problem of measuring the central zone beam distribution at the first slit is solved, which lays a foundation for further debugging the ion source injection system parameters and determining the approximate range of the ion source injection system parameters. By dynamically installing a second central zone structure, the problem of measuring the central zone beam distribution at the second slit is solved, which lays a foundation for preliminarily debugging the parameter range of the first high frequency cavity and accurately debugging the parameters of the ion source injection system. By dynamically installing a third central zone structure, the problem of measuring the central zone beam distribution at the third slit is solved, which lays a foundation for accurately debugging the parameters of the first high frequency cavity and more accurately debugging the parameters of the ion source injection system. By dynamically installing a fourth central zone structure, the problem of measuring the central zone beam distribution at the fourth slit is solved, which lays a foundation for debugging the parameters of the second high frequency cavity. Since the problem of measuring the central zone beam distribution is solved, a foundation is laid for segmented central zone beam debugging, which effectively improves the central zone debugging efficiency.
[0048] 2. Design difficulty of dynamic central zone structure: One of the difficulties is that when the parameters of the ion source injection system, the first high frequency cavity and the second high frequency cavity are not adjusted well at the initial stage of debugging, the beam is prone to deviation. Once the beam deviates, the beam current on the inner target or the measured beam current is very weak. If the conventional accelerator central zone structure is used, the beam deviation cannot be measured, because the conventional accelerator central zone structure includes various electrode columns. Except that the first electrode column and the fifth electrode column are installed at the head of the high frequency cavity, the beam current may deviate at any one of the second, third, fourth, sixth and seventh electrode columns and hit the electrode column, so that the beam current on the inner target cannot be measured. If the beam current cannot be measured, it is not known whether the problem is caused by the ion source injection system or the high frequency cavity. According to the traditional method, 20 parameters are combined to form hundreds of parameters, and the hundreds of parameters are checked one by one. The second difficulty is to ensure the uniformity of the beam trajectory. The uniformity means not only to ensure the correct position of a point on the beam trajectory, but also to ensure the correct position of each point on the entire trajectory. It is difficult to ensure the correct position of each point on the entire trajectory. Because the beam is controlled not only by the ion source injection system, but also by the first high frequency cavity and the second high frequency cavity during one revolution. Although the current parameters of the ion source injection system can control the correct position of the current point, it does not mean that it can automatically control the correct position of each point on the subsequent trajectory. Although the current parameters of the first high frequency cavity or the second high frequency cavity can control the correct position of the beam trajectory at the outlet, it does not mean that it can automatically control the correct position of the beam trajectory at the inlet.
[0049] 3. Solution to the first difficulty: cumulative installation of electrode columns. In order to solve the beam deviation problem, the electrode columns of the central zone structure in the working state are all removed except the first electrode column 5-1 and the fifth electrode column 5-5 at the head of the high frequency cavity, so as to avoid the shielding of the beam by the excess electrode columns. The excess electrode columns are all the electrode columns after the current beam slit along the direction of the beam trajectory. The electrode columns before the current beam slit cannot be removed and must be retained, which do not belong to the excess electrode columns. Assuming that the beam on the second beam slit 6-2 is to be tested, only the second electrode column 5-2 and the third electrode column 5-3 related to the current second beam slit 6-2 need to be installed, and the fourth electrode column 5-4, the sixth electrode column 5-6 and the seventh electrode column 5-7 after the current beam slit are excess electrode columns. The excess electrode columns may deviate in any one of the 1-4 circles of the central zone because the parameters are not adjusted well, which leads to inaccurate measurement of the beam current on the inner target 4 outside the central zone. Through the cumulative installation of the electrode columns, the beam deviation problem is solved.
[0050] 4. The solution to the second difficulty: install and remove the beam slit plate as needed. In order to solve the problem of beam uniformity, beam slit plates are installed at several special points in the central region of the beam trajectory (the positions of these special points are beam slit 6-1, beam slit 6-2, beam slit 6-3, and beam slit 6-4), and the beam slit is gradually moved from the small radius to the large radius, so that the beam from the small radius to the large radius is measured, and the beam uniformity is adjusted. At the same time, the beam slit plate is installed and removed as needed. If there is a beam slit plate in front of the current position, and the slit position of the beam slit plate in front is fixed, the beam slit plate in front will block other beams outside the slit (because the beam slit is cut in the plate, and the slit only occupies 2mm of the plate, the rest will block the beam), assuming that the slit is in the middle of the beam slit plate, then the beam slit behind cannot measure the beam from the small radius to the large radius outside the middle 2mm because the beam at the small radius and the large radius has been blocked by the beam slit plate in front. Therefore, when installing the beam slit plate, only the current beam slit plate is retained and the beam slit plate in front is removed. Through the above installation and removal of the beam slit plate, the problem of beam uniformity is solved.
[0051] Based on the above principle, the present application designs a beam measurement method based on the dynamic central region structure of the dynamic cyclotron, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The dynamic central region structure is installed on the basis of the initial central region structure, and each central region electrode column and each beam slit is installed dynamically according to the steps of beam measurement.
