Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of high-frequency systems for cyclotron accelerators, and particularly relates to a tuning method for a four-cavity high-energy accelerator. Background Technology

[0002] The high-frequency system is a crucial component of a cyclotron, and its stability and reliability play a key role in the cyclotron's performance. The high-frequency system of a cyclotron mainly consists of three parts: a high-frequency power source, a resonant cavity, and a low-level system. The high-frequency power source provides energy for particle motion; the resonant cavity provides a stable high-frequency electric field for charged particles through resonance; and the low-level system controls and corrects parameters such as the amplitude and phase of the accelerating field to ensure stable cavity operation. The four cavities mentioned in this paper are directly connected at the Dee board heads of each cavity, thus they can be considered as a single high-frequency system, controllable by one transmitter and one low-level system.

[0003] During high-power operation, the resonant cavity generates significant heat. Even with water cooling, temperature changes still cause deformation of the cavity. This deformation alters the cavity's equivalent capacitance, leading to a change in its resonant frequency. Therefore, a tuning device is needed to match the incident power frequency with the cavity's resonant frequency. This tuning device consists of a tuning capacitor plate positioned outside the cavity. Controlled by a low-level control system, the distance between the tuning capacitor plate and the cavity is altered, thereby changing the cavity's equivalent capacitance and achieving frequency tuning.

[0004] One of the difficulties in tuning the frequency of a four-cavity resonant cavity lies in: Figure 3a , 3b As shown, when there is only one tuning capacitor (meaning only one of the four cavities has a tuning capacitor plate on its outer side, driven by a tuning motor), the beam loss of the four-cavity resonant cavity increases significantly. This is because four-cavity resonant cavities are generally used in high-energy cyclotron accelerators. High-energy cyclotron accelerators have a high beam rotation count. With only one tuning capacitor, CST software simulations show that the accelerating gap voltage of the cavity with the tuning capacitor is about 8% higher than the other three cavities. When the accelerating gap voltage of the cavity with the tuning capacitor is 8% higher than the other three cavities per rotation, it will inevitably lead to a decrease in beam extraction efficiency. The higher the beam energy, the more rotations the particles make in the accelerator, and the greater the increase in beam loss. From an accelerator physics perspective, this can be described as follows: when the two high-frequency accelerating gaps in the accelerator are larger than the other six accelerating gaps, the beam will undergo misaligned acceleration during acceleration. Precession occurs during beam acceleration, increasing the cyclic emittance of the beam and ultimately leading to a larger beam envelope. When the beam passes through the dangerous resonance region of the magnetic field, the beam oscillation amplitude increases, causing beam loss.

[0005] The second difficulty of the frequency tuning of the four-cavity resonant cavity lies in that when multiple tuning capacitors (one tuning motor and tuning capacitor plate are arranged for each cavity of the four-cavity) are used, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of starting, stopping and turning of multiple tuning motors due to mechanical transmission error and signal delay error, and multiple motors simultaneously moving may cause a very chaotic situation due to mechanical transmission error and signal delay error. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims at the problems existing in the prior art, and proposes a tuning method for a four-cavity of a high-energy accelerator. The first purpose is to solve the problem that when there is only one capacitor, the cavity with the capacitor has an acceleration gap voltage higher than that of the other three cavities by about 8%, which will certainly lead to the decrease of the efficiency of the beam, and the higher the beam energy, the more the number of revolutions of the particles in the accelerator, and the more the increase of the beam loss. The second purpose is to solve the problem that when multiple tuning capacitors are used, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of starting, stopping and turning due to mechanical transmission error and signal delay error, and multiple motors simultaneously moving leads to a very chaotic situation due to mechanical transmission error and signal delay error.

[0038] Advantages and effects of the present application

[0039] 1. The present application adopts the method of "step" + "electronic ruler": It makes up for the error from mechanical transmission or the error from signal delay (the step in this embodiment is the capacitance variation amount), and adjusts the tuning according to the "step". The focus is on the "step" regardless of whether the error of mechanical transmission or the error of signal delay occurs in the middle. Even if there is an error, when the "step" is met, the error has been overcome. The "electronic ruler" is a means to ensure that the "step" is executed in place. When the capacitance variation amount is used as the step and the capacitance variation amount of the tuning motor is adjusted alternately, there will still be errors of mechanical transmission and signal delay. Since the electronic ruler is adopted, we focus on the moment when the motor reaches the target point on the electronic ruler. If an error occurs, the moment when the motor reaches the target point on the electronic ruler may be a little earlier or later, but it will eventually reach the target point. Since it is an alternating operation, when the previous target point is reached, the next target point is continued. In this way, the problem of inconsistency in starting, stopping and turning due to mechanical transmission error and signal delay error when multiple tuning capacitors are used is solved. The simultaneous movement of multiple motors leads to a very chaotic situation due to mechanical transmission error and signal delay error.

[0040] 2, The application adopts the method of "look-up table" + "fitted curve", solves the problem of nonlinearity between the capacitance change and the motor moving distance, the look-up table is used to compare the motor position and the capacitance value, although the motor position and the capacitance value are in nonlinear relationship, the horizontal and vertical coordinates of each point on the nonlinear curve are fixed, the method of fitting curve through mathematical formula avoids the nonlinear relationship between the motor position and the capacitance value, and finally realizes the tuning motor position, the method of "look-up table" + "fitted curve" solves the problem of alternating adjustment of the capacitance change by "step length".

[0048] Design principle of the application

[0049] The innovation of this invention lies in its use of a "step size + reference table + fitting curve + electronic ruler + alternating adjustment" method to solve the problem of voltage deviation compensation in multi-cavity systems. The "step size" refers to the capacitance change. The significance of the "step size" and the "electronic ruler" is that when used together, they can compensate for errors caused by mechanical transmission or signal delay. For example, if a mechanical transmission error causes the tuning motor to not reach its designated position within a specified time, the motor position fed back by the electronic ruler will also be out of position. Once the motor position fed back by the electronic ruler reaches the predetermined position, the error caused by the mechanical transmission has been compensated. The significance of the "reference table" and the "fitting curve" is that they solve the problem of the non-linear relationship between the moving distance of the tuning motor and the capacitance change. The relationship between the tuning capacitance value and the distance between the capacitor plates can be viewed as a non-ideal parallel-plate capacitor; mathematically, the closer the capacitor plate is to the cavity, the faster the capacitance increases. This trend can be approximated by a similar curve. Figure 6 The curve, assuming the position of the electron ruler corresponds to 0-100 from closest to farthest from the cavity, from... Figure 6 It can be seen that a movement of 10 units in the range of the horizontal axis from 10 to 20 has a greater impact on the capacitor than a movement of 30 units in the range of the horizontal axis from 50 to 80. This means that the rate of change of capacitance is not uniform at different motor positions. Therefore, a "motor position and capacitance value" reference table is established, and a mathematical curve is fitted. The significance of "alternating adjustment" lies in ensuring the accuracy of the calculation result at each step through sequential operations in time. Only when the capacitance change in the previous step is correct can the capacitance change in the next step be guaranteed to be correct, because the previous calculation is the basis for the subsequent calculation. This solves the problem of inconsistent synchronization caused by errors when four tuned motors operate simultaneously.

[0050] In summary, the five aspects of step size, reference table, fitting curve, electronic ruler, and alternating adjustment support each other and are indispensable. When they are organically combined, the voltage deviation of the multi-cavity is close to 0.

[0051] Based on the above-mentioned principles, this invention designs a tuning method for a four-cavity high-energy accelerator. This method is based on a four-cavity resonant cavity tuning device, such as... Figure 1 , 2As shown, the four-cavity tuning device includes a transmitter, a four-cavity resonant cavity, a low-level control system, a directional coupler and a host computer; the head of the cavity 1, the cavity 2, the cavity 3 and the cavity 4 of the four-cavity resonant cavity is connected by a bridge, and each cavity is externally provided with a tuning motor M1, M2, M3 and M4, and each tuning motor is further provided with an electronic ruler for feeding back the position of the motor; the transmitter is used for amplifying the signal from the low-level control system and feeding into the four-cavity resonant cavity through the transmission line; the input end is connected with the low-level control system, the output end is connected with the cavity 1, and the cavity 2, the cavity 3 and the cavity 4 are connected by a bridge; the four-cavity resonant cavity provides a stable high-frequency electric field for charged particles through resonance; the input end is connected with the transmitter, wherein the cavity 2, the cavity 3 and the cavity 4 are connected with the transmitter through the cavity 1; the low-level control system controls the resonant capacitance of the cavity 1, the cavity 2, the cavity 3 and the cavity 4 of the resonant cavity through the motors M1, M2, M3 and M4 respectively, and obtains the internal power signal from the cavity 1, the cavity 2, the cavity 3 and the cavity 4 of the four-cavity resonant cavity, and obtains the incident power signal from the directional coupler, the two signals are phase detected and control the tuning motor to tune the frequency of the resonant cavity; the directional coupler is arranged on the transmission line between the transmitter and the resonant cavity, which obtains the incident power signal from the transmitter and samples as one of the signals of each tuning ring; the host computer is bidirectionally connected with the low-level control system; the host computer switches the high-frequency exercise mode S1-S3 mode and the beam mode S1-S5 mode by communicating with the low-level control system, and the host computer controls the tuning of the four tuning rings through the current positions of the four tuning motors, and the characteristic is that the tuning method comprises the following steps, such as Figure 5 As shown:

[0054] Step three, move the tuning motor M1, use the tuning motor M1 to complete the search of the resonant point in the S1 state of the low-level control system, the amplitude climbing in the S2 state, and the amplitude stable closed loop in the S3 state; the tuning motors M2, M3 and M4 do not act during this period;

[0055] Step four, the low-level control system keeps in the S3 state for a period of time to reach thermal equilibrium, and the judgment condition is time, which is set by the debugging experience in daily life;

[0056] Step five, entering S4 voltage deviation compensation stage: adjusting the capacitance variation of tuning motors M1, M2, M3 and M4 alternately as a step, so as to make the voltage deviation between the tuning motors M1, M2, M3 and M4 close to 0;

[0057] Supplementary Note 1

[0058] The effect of the voltage deviation close to 0 is shown in the figure Figure 4 The eight curves of the eight accelerating gaps of the four resonant cavities almost fit together, which proves that the voltage deviation between the improved tuning motors M1, M2, M3 and M4 is close to 0.
