Presentation Transcript

  1. Accelerators Mark Mandelkern

  2. For producing beams of energetic particles • Protons, antiprotons and light ions • heavy ions • electrons and positrons • (secondary) neutral beams (photons, neutrons, neutrinos)

  3. Some accelerator applications • particle and nuclear physics • synchrotron radiation • materials science, biology • medical radiation therapy • isotope production • plasma heating • high energy X-ray production • non-destructive testing, food sterilization

  4. Accelerators in particle physics • probe small-scale structure • l = h/p=197 10-13 cm /p(MeV/c) • electrons, positrons • Pointlike (also neutrinos), no strong interactions • costly to accelerate (synchrotron radiation) • protons and antiprotons • complicated structures make interpretation difficult • easier to accelerate to ultra-high energies

  5. Accelerator types • electrostatic • battery, lightning, van de Graff, Pellatron: to about 30 MeV; for nuclear physics and isotope production • cascade • Cockcroft-Walton: to several MeV; cheap; for X-ray sources and injectors • Linear • RFQ • drift-tube(Wideroe, Alvarez):preaccelerators, LAMPF • Waveguide:electrons only(SLAC, NLC)

  16. Circular Accelerators • betatron • electrons only, cheap, portable, to ~500 MeV • cyclotron • Protons to ~500 MeV (TRIUMF, PSI) • Synchrotron • 100 GeV electrons (LEP) • 1 TeV protons and antiprotons (FNAL) • 7 TeV protons (LHC)

  22. HEP Accelerator Systems • FNAL Tevatron(1 TeV p) • CW(750 keV):Linac:Booster(8 GeV):Main Injector(120 GeV): Tevatron Ring • CERN SPS/LEP(400 GeV p/100 GeV e+-) • RFQ (750 keV):Linac (50 MeV):PS(28 GeV):SPS:LEP

  24. Synchrotron radiation W=(e2/3e0)(g4b3/R) loss per turn Ec=(hc/2p)(3g3/2R) peak energy g=E/mc2 LEP: 100 GeV/beam: R=4.9km W~3 GeV Ec~ 90 keV(hard X-ray) 288 SC RF cavities Tevatron: E=1 TeV R=1.1km W~ 10 eV Ec~0.4 eV LHC: E=7 TeV R=4.9 kmW~5 keV, Ec~27 eV

  25. Colliders • Circular • e- e+ below 10 GeV (BEPS/PEP-2/KEKB) • 1 TeV p/1 TeV pbar (Tevatron-FNAL), • 27.5 GeV e-/920 GeV p (HERA-DESY) • 105 GeV e-/105 GeV e+ (LEP-CERN) • 7 TeV p/7TeV p (LHC-CERN) • Linear • 50 GeV e-/50 GeV e+ (SLC-SLAC) • ~1 TeV e-/~1 TeV e+ (NLC-?)

  26. Why Colliders? • Fixed target (pp) • Ecm2=mb2+mt2+2Ebmt • Eb=1 TeV mb=mt=0.938 GeV Ecm=43.3 GeV • Symmetrical Collider • Ecm=Eb+Et • Eb=Et= 1 TeV Ecm=2 TeV

  27. How Colliders? Event Rate = Ls L=f n1n2/(4psxsy) n1 n2 particles per bunch sx,sy rms horizontal (vertical) beam profile Thus intense bunched beams with tiny beam spots at the interaction points
