Varying accelerating fields Two approaches for accelerating with time-varying fields Linear Accelerators Circular Accelerators Use many accelerating cavities through which the particle beam passes once. Use one or a small number of radio-frequency accelerating cavities and make use of repeated passage through them. This approach is realized in circular accelerators: Cyclotrons, synchrotrons and their variants. Indian Institute of Technology Ropar Hans-Jürgen Wollersheim - 2016 RF Accelerators The electric field is no longer static but sinusoidal alternating half periods of acceleration and deceleration. 𝑉 𝑡 = 𝑉0 ∙ sin 𝜔𝑡 g ion+ 𝐸 𝑡 = 𝑉0 𝑔 ∙ sin 𝜔𝑡 Wideroe structure Rolf Wideroe Three important aspects of an RF linear accelerator Particles must arrive bunched in time in order for efficient acceleration Acceleration gaps must be spaced, so that the particle “bunches” arrive at the acceleration phase: 𝐿=𝑣∙ 𝑇 1𝜆 𝜆 = 𝛽𝑐 =𝛽 2 2𝑐 2 The acceleration field is varying while the particle is in the gap; energy gain is more complicated than in the static case.

The result is that the particles tend to move together with the wave.

While the electric fields point in the “wrong direction” the particles are shielded by the drift tubes. The accelerator consists of a long “tank” (radius determines frequency). Drift tubes are placed along the beam axis, so that the accelerating gaps satisfy synchronicity condition with drift tube length L given by 𝐿 = 𝛽𝜆0 where λ0 is the free space wavelength at the operating frequency .

Magnetic field produced by several bending magnets increases with momentum. For high energy: 𝐸𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑛 𝐺𝑒𝑉 ≈ 0.3 ∙ 𝐵𝜌 𝑇 ∙ 𝑚 Indian Institute of Technology Ropar Practical limitations for magnetic field → high energies only at large radius. example: 100 GeV protons Fe-magnet B ~ 1.5 T → R = 222 m superconductive magnet B ~ 5 T → R = 67 m Hans-Jürgen Wollersheim - 2016 Synchrotron Mark Oliphant 1943 The bending field changes with particle beam energy to maintain a constant radius: 1 𝐵𝑇 𝐵𝑇 = 0.3 = 0.3 𝜌𝑚 𝛽𝐸 𝐺𝑒𝑉 𝑐𝑝 𝐺𝑒𝑉 So B ramps in proportion to the momentum. The revolution frequency also changes with momentum. The synchronicity condition, including now the relativistic term, is 𝑞𝐵 𝜔= 𝑚𝛾 For an electron synchrotron, the injected beam is already relativistic, so only the magnetic field changes with beam energy. For a proton synchrotron, the injected beam is not yet relativistic, so the RF accelerating frequency and the magnetic field both ramp with energy.
