Candidate injector design for the Southern Advanced Photon Source based on linac and booster
摘要
The Southern Advanced Photon Source (SAPS) is a diffraction-limited synchrotron light source under design, which employs longitudinal injection as its primary injection scheme. This kind of injection scheme requires that the injected beam has a short bunch length and low emittance, and the preferred injector should offer high stability and low cost. Therefore, an injector based on a booster synchrotron was developed. The proposed injector includes a 250 MeV linac, a booster synchrotron that ramps the beam energy to 3.5 GeV, and two beam transport lines to ensure efficient beam delivery and beam quality preservation. The linac utilizes a thermionic high-voltage DC gun for reliable operation and features a bunching system with an advanced focusing system to preserve the emittance. To meet the injection requirements of the SAPS, a comprehensive design for the booster has been conducted. The booster synchrotron employs a threefold lattice structure, incorporating modified theoretical minimum emittance cells with a small momentum compaction factor and a high voltage to achieve an emittance of 3.98 nm rad and a bunch length of 4.8 mm. The injector has the potential to deliver a high charge, reducing the injection period of the storage ring to less than 1 min. Simulations demonstrated the expected performance, with a transmission efficiency of 90
