Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of accelerator system design, relates to a method for eliminating dispersion, and particularly relates to a method for eliminating dispersion of a charged particle beam in an interfering magnetic field environment based on an electrode plate. Background Art
[0002] Particle accelerators are used in industrial irradiation processing, sterilization, and cancer treatment. In these applications, the particle beam often requires a small spot size and high flux density at the target. In non-magnetic shielding scenarios, charged particles may be disturbed by external magnetic fields, such as the Earth's magnetic field, during their propagation path. This can cause beam deviation and dispersion at the target.
[0003] The particle beam generated by an actual particle accelerator has a certain energy distribution, so it will produce different path trajectories under the action of a magnetic field. The dispersion effect refers to the fact that particles with different momenta / energy starting from the same object point are distributed at different positions on the image plane, resulting in the beam forming a larger beam spot size and a smaller flux density on the target surface, which is difficult to meet the needs of actual applications.

The near-uniform magnetic field has a small deflection with respect to the spatial coordinate to ensure that the magnetic fields at different positions of the same beam cross section are close.

[0044] In the present invention, the electrode plate length refers to the corrected length after taking the fringe field into account.
[0045] The method of the present invention can only eliminate the influence of dispersion on the beam spot divergence when reaching the target, and cannot solve the influence of the initial beam divergence angle θ on the beam spot size. Therefore, even if the Coulomb repulsion is ignored, the minimum beam spot divergence radius to the target in theory is greater than
[0046] In accordance with the above technical solution, specific embodiments of the present invention are given below.

[0141]
[0142] After calculating the emission direction of a single charged particle at the electrode plate outlet, the angle δ between the emission directions of charged particles with different energies at the electrode plate outlet is calculated based on the emission directions of two charged particles with different energies at the electrode plate outlet.
[0143] 2) When the magnetic induction intensity obtained in step 1 When the corresponding magnetic field is a segmented uniform magnetic field:
[0144] The first solution is performed according to the above uniform magnetic field solution method, and then the emission direction at the electrode plate outlet obtained by the solution is substituted into the segmented uniform magnetic field, and the target position is gradually adjusted to obtain the emission direction of the particles at the electrode plate outlet in this case.

A coordinate system is established.
[0146] Then, the emission direction of electrons at the electrode plate outlet is calculated when the electron energy is 0.4MeV. When the electron energy is 0.6MeV, the direction of electron emission at the electrode plate outlet is The angle between the two emission directions at the electrode plate outlet is δ=0.048 rad.
[0147] Step 3: According to the emission direction of charged particles with different energies at the electrode plate outlet in step 2, the optical axis of the beam and the electric field strength are calculated to make the emission direction of charged particles with different energies at the electrode plate outlet close to the incident direction. Figure 3 shown.

[0156] E is the magnitude of the electric field strength;
[0157] t is the time that the charged particles stay in the electrode plates.
[0158] After calculation, the deflection angle of the charged particle after passing through the electrode plate is:

[0180] v 02 It is the velocity of a single charged particle with higher energy before entering the electrode plate;
[0181] p 02 It is the momentum of a single charged particle with higher energy before it enters the electrode plate.
[0182] By using the bisection method, we can determine the electric field strength required to produce an angle δ between the emission directions of charged particles of different energies at the electrode plate exit. Based on the deflection angle of the charged particle at this electric field strength, we can determine the direction of the charged particle before deflection, which is the optical axis of the beam. Because the energy dispersion of charged particles is relatively small, the emission direction of charged particles at the electrode plate exit can be assumed to be approximately linearly related to their energy.
[0183] In this embodiment, after performing the dichotomy, the required electric field strength E = 1.408 MV / m is obtained. Under this electric field, the deflection angle θ1 of a 0.4 MeV electron is 0.167 rad, and the optical axis of the beam before deflection is
[0184]
[0185] Step 4: Calculate the energy of charged particles of different energies at the electrode plate outlet based on the electric field strength obtained in step 3. Calculate the target position based on the beam optical axis and electric field strength obtained in step 3. and update; after multiple iterative updates, a converged solution is obtained, that is, the final electric field intensity, the voltage operating range corresponding to the electric field intensity, and the optical axis of the beam before deflection are obtained.
[0186] In step 4, the calculation process of the converged solution specifically includes the following steps:
[0187] Step 401: Calculate the energy of charged particles of different energies at the electrode plate outlet based on the electric field strength obtained in step 3, and calculate the target position based on the beam optical axis and electric field strength obtained in step 3. and update.
[0188] Step 402: Compare the energy of charged particles with different energies at the electrode plate outlet with the updated target position. Resubstitute into step 2 to update the emission direction at the electrode plate exit.
[0189] Step 403: Substitute the emission direction at the electrode plate outlet updated in step 2 into step 3 to update the electric field strength.
[0190] Step 404: Substitute the updated electric field strength into step 4 to calculate the target position. And update the descendants and enter step 2.
[0191] Repeat steps 401, 402, 403, and 404 for multiple iterations, and then obtain a converged solution, that is, obtain the final electric field intensity, the voltage operating range corresponding to the electric field intensity, and the optical axis of the beam before deflection.
[0192] In step 4, based on the maximum deflection angle required for charged particles of different energies, the charge of the charged particles, the static mass of the charged particles, the radius of the charged particle beam, and the energy range of the charged particle beam, the minimum electrode plate spacing required and the upper limit of the required electric field strength are calculated, thereby obtaining the voltage operating range corresponding to the electric field strength.
[0193] The maximum deflection angle required for charged particles of different energies is determined by the magnetic induction intensity. The range of size and target location The range of the size and magnetic induction intensity Direction and target location The range of the angle between the directions is obtained.
[0194] Due to the deflection of the electrode plate electric field and the change of the beam optical axis, the position of the charged particles at the electrode plate outlet moves, and the target position will also change accordingly. In addition, the electric field will cause the energy of the charged particles to change. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the target position corresponding to the optical axis of the beam according to step three. The energy of the charged particles after leaving the electrode plate is recalculated and obtained after multiple iterations.
[0195] In this embodiment, since the electric field increases the electron energy, under the electric field strength obtained in step 3, it is calculated that the energy of a 0.4MeV electron becomes 0.409MeV and the energy of a 0.6MeV electron becomes 0.606MeV at the electrode plate outlet.
[0196] At the same time, the electrode plate changes the electron exit position. It is calculated that under the electric field strength and beam optical axis obtained in step 3, the positions of the electrode plate exits of 0.4MeV electrons and 0.6MeV electrons become (-0.0003, 0.0084, 0) and (-0.0002, 0.0060, 0) respectively. Then the target position Updated to as well as The changed charged particle energy and target position Resubstitute to calculate the emission direction at the electrode plate exit, and then update the required electric field strength, electron energy at the electrode plate exit and target position After multiple iterations of this method, a converged solution can be obtained, that is, the electric field intensity E = 0.956MV / m and the optical axis of the beam before deflection
[0197]
[0198] Step 5: Adjust the accelerator posture according to the optical axis of the beam before deflection obtained in step 4, and set the electrode plates according to the final electric field strength obtained in step 4 and the voltage working range corresponding to the electric field strength to eliminate the dispersion of the charged particle beam.
[0199] In step five, the magnitude and direction of the electric field intensity are generated in two ways: one uses two sets of mutually perpendicular electrode plates, each equipped with a voltage source, to generate adjustable electric field intensities in two directions. The desired magnitude and direction of the electric field intensity are obtained by superimposing the two generated adjustable electric field intensities in the two directions approximately. The other uses a set of electrode plates equipped with a voltage source and a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism adjusts the direction of the electric field intensity, while the voltage source adjusts the magnitude. This eliminates the effects of dispersion, achieving precise targeting, a smaller beam spot radius, and a higher flux density.
[0200] In step five, the beam direction itself needs to be adjusted to point toward the target.
[0201] In step five, the direction of adjustment is achieved by moving the accelerator and beam optical device as a whole through a mechanical device with two degrees of freedom, and the electric field generated by the electrode plate is always perpendicular to the beam.
[0202] When the target is confined to a small range in the beam pointing direction, no beam pointing adjustment is performed.
[0203] In this embodiment, after setting the electric field intensity and beam optical axis obtained in step 4, the beam transmission and target distribution can be obtained as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the target position The size is less than 1mm, compared to Figure 4 In the case of an undispersed charged particle beam, the target position The size of the target is significantly reduced and the flux to the target is significantly enhanced.
