Dezvoltarea unui detector de tip “zero-time” pentru acceleratoarele de particule din viitor Pentru oricare sistem ce include acceleratoare de particule este extrem de necesara cunoasterea detaliata a geometriei fascicolului. Aceasta determinare ar trebui facuta in timp real si in fascicul direct utilizand asa-numitul detector de tip “zero-time”. El poate fi utilizat pentru studiul compozitiei fasciculului si a pozitiei ionilor grei in fascicul. Se pot face deasemenea pozitionarea si focalizarea fasciculului respectiv.

REPORT 19th March 2010 – 5th October 2010 Abdul Haneefa Kummali Research Assistant IFIN-HH (Joined IFIN-HH, Romania, between 19th March 2010 - 5th October 2010 as Early Stage Researcher under DITANET project “Development of a Zero Time Detector for Future Particle Accelerators”) Supervisor: Dr. Horia Petrașcu (IFIN-HH, Romania) Design of Zero Time Detector 1. Introduction: Secondary electron emission from thin foil has been used for Zero-Time detector technique. Same as from the bibliography [1 -3], here we are also employing the isochronous transport of secondary electron emission from thin foil when the beam hits the foil under the influence of perpendicular magnetic and electric fields. Following figure shows the conceptual design of the detector: Figure 1. Electric and Magnetic axis Figure 2.Schematic diagram of Secondary Electron Movement. As it is shown in the figure above, an isochronous transport system for secondary electrons is required which requests the foil to remain perpendicular to the fragment path and the detector to be placed in a location separated from the beam. Here we are exploiting the maximum interaction phase in which the foil’s image is tilted (45-60, needs to be optimized) from the ion beam [4]. 2. Explanation of Electron Transport in E/B Fields Motion of a charged particle in the simultaneous presence of electric and magnetic fields has variety of manifestations ranging from straight line motion to the cycloid and other complex motion. Both electric and magnetic fields impart acceleration to the charged particle. But, there is a qualification for magnetic field as acceleration due to magnetic field relates only to the change of direction of motion. Magnetic force being always normal to the velocity of the particle tends to move the particle on a circular trajectory. On the other hand, electric force is along electric field and is capable to bring change in both direction and magnitude depending upon the initial direction of velocity of the charged particle with respect to electric field. If velocity and electric vectors are at an angle then the particle follows a parabolic path. One of the important orientations of electric and magnetic fields is referred as “crossed fields”. We use the term “crossed fields” to mean simultaneous presence of electric and magnetic fields at right angle. The behavior of charged particles such as electrons under crossed fields has important significance in the study of electromagnetic measurements and applications. Figure 3 . Planar view of applied electric and magnetic fields. 3. Simulation using Galette and Geant4 3A. Galette – One Dimensional Simulation Tool Simulation using Galette gives the one dimensional picture to fix the length and height of the trajectories. For different values of combined magnetic and electric fields is shown in the following table. Different consideration in optimizing the dimension of this detector is taken into account. Firstly we considered the maximum voltage that can be handled by the detector. Special attention is given to make a compact design in order to handle and to put it into a vacuum chamber. This consideration limited the choice of magnetic field (by reducing the value of B, the trajectory length is increased).

Sample date from the Galette simulation, for finding electron trajectory. Above table gives the sample result for most suitable combinations of electric and magnetic field. From which, B = 80 Gauss, E = 700 V/cm are more suitable for our purpose. 3B. Geant4 – Tool toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter Geant4 is a toolkit for particle-matter simulation using modern object-oriented design principles [7]. It contains about a million lines of C++ code. Geant4 has components to model the geometry, the materials involved, the fundamental particles of interest, the generation of primary particles for new events, the tracking of particles through materials and external electromagnetic fields, the physics processes governing particle interactions, the response of sensitive detector components, the generation of event data, the storage of events and tracks, the visualization of the detector and particle trajectories, and the capture for subsequent analysis of simulation data at different levels of detail and refinement [8,9]. Using Geant4, we succeeded to have a look for the concrete structure of proposed zero-time detector. We successfully defined the equipotential electric and magnetic field using Geant4. But the complete parameters are not implemented yet in Geant4. 4. Design and Optimization of Detector size As per the above equation we obtained a suitable electric filed and magnetic field to make the detector compact. A possible approach to reduce the mean electron initial velocities – which hold for every thin-foil timing detector – is to use the secondary electrons emitted backward from the foil rather than the forward electrons. The secondary electron emission exhibits large energies spectra [5]. Mathematical calculations using above equations are verified by using Galette software. Finally optimized parameters are the following: Accelerating Voltage: 700 V/cm Magnetic Field, B: 80 Gauss MCP Diameter: 2.5 cm Al/ Cu Foil Diameter: 1 cm Electron Trajectory height = 1.24 cm Electron Trajectory length = 3.906 cm Distance between foil and MCP: 2.15 cm Optimum X axis = 2.5 cm Optimum Y axis = 8.15 cm Optimum Z axis = 2.5 cm Total voltage that must be applied should be 1750 Volt on a distance of 2.5 cm and the magnetic field strength from permanent magnets should be 80 Gauss. To avoid the fringing effect of electric fields at edges, the distance between MCP to the detector ends are kept between h/2 – h/3 value, where h = height of the detector. The top view of detector is shown here: Figure 5. Top View of Detector 5. Equipotential Lines and Electrical Connection Equipotential lines are essential to keep the electric field constantly inside the detector. Total voltage of 1750 V is thus divided into 7 parts. So in general there will be eight resistors in 3mm distance apart. Besides a complete equipotential, it is better in practice to consider more lines at the secondary electron production area (Near the bottom area- Foil, MCP plane area). Appropriate resistors must be used. SMD type resistors may be quite better in this compact design. Proposed construction may include the following geometrical shape and concept. It is better to allocated space in the detector construction to including a capacitor in parallel with each resistor for avoiding the destruction because a large possibility of secondary electron production and great chance to halter the equipotential surface. Sample calculation how to find the values for resistors are given here (not yet conformed), the height of the detector being defined as 2.5 cm divided with 8 resistors. The distance between two resistors are noted as 3mm, so the voltage across each will be approx. 1750 V / 8 = 220 V. Current value may be in between 20 μA – 50 μA. Let’s say it is 20 μA. Then value for resistor will be 11 MΩ. This value for resistors is a common value for resistors. Appropriate value for capacitors in parallel with the resistors may be connected to insure the long term stability of the detector. 6. Common features of MCP A microchannel plate (MCP) is a high gain, thin secondary-emission current amplifier which consists of parallel array of millions of hollow semi-conducting glass cylinders (channels). Typically these channels have diameters in the range of 10-100 μm and length-to-diameter ratio between 40 and 100. They can be made circular, rectangular or virtually any shape depending on the geometry of the instrument as desired (Figure 6). MCPs are processed commonly to have length-todiameter (L/D) ratio, α of 40:1, 60:1 or 80:1, which is a ruling factor for the gain. Figure 6. Micro-Channel Plates cut in several formats. The zoomed picture shows microscopic view of the channels (pores) of these plates. [Reference (7)] Optical fiber drawing techniques are used to make desired MCP formats. The inner walls of the channels are processed in a way to enhance the secondary emission characteristics by making the walls semi-conductive. A thin metallic film is deposited on both input and output ends of the MCP in order to give parallel electrical contact to the channels. This film acts as the electrodes thereby making each channel as an independent secondary electron multiplier. Originally developed as an amplification element for image intensifiers, MCPs are also recognized as an extremely useful tool for scientific applications including astronomy, mass spectrometry, etc. as they have direct sensitivity to charged particles, XRays and UV light. [6] 6A.Working Principle The basic process that is taking place in the MCP is the secondary electron emission. When a particle like electron, ion, UV photons or X-rays enters into a channel of the MCP, on hitting the wall, it loses its energy due to collision and a part of this energy gets transferred to the electrons at the surface. On attaining sufficient energy the electrons can get knocked out of the metal surface to form secondary emission current. Due to the presence of an electric field which is produced by applying a voltage difference called as MCP bias voltage across the two ends of the MCP, the electrons are controlled to accelerate in the forward direction. They travel with parabolic trajectories and again re-emit more secondary electrons on hitting the wall inside the channel. This cascading process continues until the electrons reach the end of the channel, generating several thousands of electrons producing high gains. There are two separate currents running in the MCP, one due to the secondary electron emission and the other through the walls of the MCP due to the applied bias voltage across it, named as strip current. It is the electrons forming this strip current which replenish or fill the electron depleted regions of the channel walls created due to the secondary electron emission. If the depleted regions would not be filled by the electrons from the strip current, it would prohibit the process of secondary emission since there would not be any electron available at the surface of the wall to be knocked out.

Proposed MCP Model (Open MCP Detectors) As manufacturer of 25 mm proximity focused MCP image intensifiers, PROXITRONIC offers a broad variety of open detector systems. When using these systems, a two-dimensional image of electrons, particles (neutral or charged), X-rays and UVradiation is possible.

Summer School Program (CSSP- 2010) Participated in the Carpathian Summer School of Physics 2010 Exotic Nuclei and Nuclear /Particle Astrophysics (III) “From nuclei to stars” held at Sinaia, Romania from June 20 – July 3, 2010,hosted by IFIN-HH, Romania. The first week of the event has a ‘school’ character defined by a series of courses on the relevant topics of Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics, which is really exciting. The second week has a conference format focused on current research of different groups including FAIR, Cyclotron Institute Texas A&M, GANIL, and institutes like IFIN-HH, Bucharest, Berkeley Research Institute and many others. Interaction and active discussions throughout the program helped me to make contact with Eminent Professors from different institutes. REPORT 28th April 2010 – 4th October 2010 Fairoja Cheenicode Kabeer Research Assistant IFIN-HH (Joined IFIN-HH, Romania, between 28th April 2010 - 4th October 2010 as Early Stage Researcher under DITANET project “Development of a Zero Time Detector for Future Particle Accelerators”) Supervisor: Dr. Dorin Dudu (IFIN-HH, Romania) Mentor: Dr. Hermann Schubert (IFIN-HH, Romania) 1. Introduction: Secondary electron emission from thin foil has long been used for Zero-Time detector technique. Same as from the literature [1 -3], here also we are employing the isochronous transport of secondary electron emission from thin foil when the beam hits the foil under the influence of perpendicular Magnetic and Electric Fields. Following figure shows the concept of the detector. As it is shown in the above figure, an isochronous transport system for secondary electrons is required which follows the foil to remain perpendicular to the fragment path and the detector to be placed in a location shielded from the beam. To maximize the interaction of the beam with the foil, the foil is tilted (45-60, needs to be optimized) towards the direction of the ion beam [4]. 2. Explanation of Electron Transport in E/B Fields Charged particle in the simultaneous presence of electric and magnetic perform complex motion. Electric fields impart acceleration to the charged particle where the magnetic field leads only to the change of direction of motion. Magnetic force being always normal to the velocity of the particle forces this to move in a circular trajectory. On the other hand the electric field is capable to bring change in both direction and velocity depending upon the direction the charged particle with respect to electric field. If velocity and electric vector are at an angle, then the particle follows a parabolic path. One of the important orientations of electric and magnetic fields is referred as “crossed fields”. We use the term “crossed Fields” to mean simultaneous presence of electric and magnetic fields at right angle. The behavior of charged particles such as electrons under crossed fields has important significance in the study of electromagnetic measurement and application (determination of specific charge of electron, cyclotron etc.). The equation of motion describing the electron trajectories in orthogonal Electric and Magnetic fields are verified here. Let the charged particle be subjected to mag.field (B) acting along X direction and electric field (E) acting along the Z direction. If the charge is at rest at the initial point, it will be accelerated along Z axis because of E . Acceleration is given by a = q E/ m ………………………..………….(1) As soon as the charge acquires velocity , it begins to experience mag.

By integrating the equations for Vy and Vz over time internal (t), Then equations becomes, y (t) = (Ez / Bx w) [ wt – sinwt ] ……………………… (13) z (t) = (Ez / Bx w) [ 1- coswt] …………………………(14) x (t) = 0. ………………………………………….....(15) While considering the initial velocity term of the ejecting electron from foil as u and Uy and Uz in y and z directions, final equations becomes [2]. y (t) = (Ez / Bx w) [ wt – sinwt ] + (Uz/w) [ 1- cos(wt)] + (Uy/w) sin(wt) + yo z (t) = (Ez / Bx w) [ 1- coswt] + Uy/w) [ 1- cos(wt)] + (Uz/w) sin(wt) From the above equations (13) and (14) we can calculate the trajectories of secondary electrons emitted from the foil. In this project, we need to optimize the size of detector according to E, B, MCP-size and finally looking to the compactness. 3. Design and Optimization of Detector size With the equations above we obtained suitable electric and magnetic fields to make the detector compact. A possible approach to reduce the mean electron initial velocities – which hold for every thinfoil timing detector – is to use the secondary electrons emitted backward from the foil rather than the forward electrons. The secondary electron spectra exhibit a large forward- backward anisotropy at high electron energies, whereas nearly no anisotropy appears at low energies [5]. Mathematical calculations using the equations above are verified by using Galette software. The optimized parameters are the following: Accelerating Voltage : 700 V/cm Magnetic Field, B : 80 Gauss MCP Diameter: 2.5 cm Al/ Cu Foil Diameter: 1 cm Electron Trajectory height = 1.24 cm Electron Trajectory length = 3.906 cm Distance between foil and MCP : 2.15 cm Optimum X axis = 2.5 cm Optimum Y axis = 8.15 cm Optimum Z axis = 2.5 cm Total Voltage that must be applied should be 1750 for a distance of 2.5 cm and Magnetic field strength from Permanent magnets should be 80 Gauss. To avoid the fringing effect of electric fields at edges, the distance between MCP to the detector ends are kept has h/2; here h = height of the detector.

POSITRON GUN Introduction A positron gun consists of two basic parts The positron source The acceleration section (electron gun) A) The positron source Positron can be obtained from the + decay of radio active isotope. 22Na is a favorite source for the positron studies because the energy spectrum of beta positrons is peaked at 178 keV, end point energy is 545 keV, half-life is 2.6 years, relatively high positron yield of 90.4% and 1.28 MeV gamma ray emitted immediately after the positron[1]. The decay reaction is: 22Na22Ne +e . 2.602 a 22Na + (90.4 %) 3.7 ps EC (9.5 %) + (0.1%) (1.274 MeV) 22Ne Decay scheme of the radioactive isotope 22Na. Another main source for the positron is 13N, a radio active isotope of Nitrogen which is produced by the deuteron bombardment of natural carbon foil [2]. The reaction can be written as: 12C (d,n) 13N () 13C 13N decays by emitting positron to 13C. 13N has a half life of 9.965 minutes and the nuclear spin is (1/2)-. The energy difference between the ground state of 13N and 13C is 2.22 MeV. Hence the maximum available positron energy is 1.2 MeV [3]. Energetic positrons entering a solid which are not backscattered at high energies and are undergoing inelastic collisions to lose energy very rapidly. If implanted into a metal (moderator) with energy greater than a few keV positron will reach thermal equilibrium with its surroundings. The mechanisms occur on the surface of moderator are: Fall into the surface well, where they are eventually annihilated Pick up an electron and leave as positronium Leave as free positrons into the vacuum with an energy determined by the positron work function Ф+ The choice of moderator material (W, MgO, we sound, etc..) is depends on the geometry of moderation and extraction. The moderator efficiency έ is defined as the number of essentially monoenergetic positrons delivered to a target per unit time divided by the total activity of the primary positron source. With the help of an optoelectronic system we can separate and can control the speed of positron beam. An appropriate detector system is used to observe and characterize positron beams [1]. B) The acceleration section In principle the acceleration of positrons is similar to electron-acceleration, but with opposite electrical polarity. Therefore, an electron gun can be used by only changing the electrical polarity after the electron beam tests. The Electron Gun An electron gun is a device that produces a beam of accelerated electrons. The main parts of an electron gun are: Filament: The filament consists of a piece of wire, commonly made of a refractory material such as tungsten, which is heated by electric current. Accelerating Region: The accelerating region consists of two electrodes known as the cathode and the anode. Design and Construction An electron gun with large apertures geometry (the planned positron source has dimensions of 2-8mm) dedicated for energy analysis (moderated positron separation) was designed. Picture 1: Scheme of the electron gun. In order to minimize the influence of ambient magnetic fields we use this 1-3 kV accelerator structure.

Experiments and Results Preliminary measurements are done by thermal emission of electrons from a light bulb filament, with voltages and currents as seen below: U = 4-15V I = 0.2-110μA A calculated efficiency of extraction as given below; Sbeam / Sw = Ibeam/Ik ~5-8% The focusing of the beam is done by adjusting the distance and alignment of the electrodes and their voltage values. The Image of the focused beam is shown on the properly aligned phosphorus screen.

The electron beam intensity was obtained in the range of 0.1-12μA in a cross section of 1-5mm2. Conclusions The experimental model was developed for simulating a positron gun and to obtain the experimental data needed to produce a mono-energetic positron beam with variable energies. The positron emitting surface will be in the order of cm2. High yield of positron occurs at very low intensities (1-100nA). The chosen beam optics will lead to a nearly paraxial beam with a small cross section (some mm2). The unconventional structure of the electron gun having an aperture of approximately 4mm gives the possibility of mounting the positron source and the W-moderator assembly inside the gun. The further development is the creation of a mono-energetic positron sources in line with the Cyclotron Accelerator producing positrons in vivo via nuclear reactions, moderating them and then using the electron gun for extraction of the thermalized positrons.
