ARIEL II-5: 500 kW e-linac

Complete the 500kW photo-fission RIB driver conceived in the present 5-10 year plan. There are two (separable) components.

(1) Upgrade the Injector Power to 120 kW In the present scenario, the 30kW RF power source prototyped at VECC/ISAC is a beam current/power bottle neck for all scenarios (RIB, RLA, FEL). The equipment to be purchased and installed are a 150 kW klystron and 55kV HVPS. Cost is estimated at $1.5 million + 4 person years labour

Jens Lassen | TRIUMF Resonant Ionization Laser Ion Source laser ion source @ ARIEL

ALICE: ARIEL laser ion source

ARIEL laser ion source (ALICE) timeline & resource requirements: •ARIEL phase II-1: (light beams)

•construct laser laboratory & laser construction •500 k$ / 8wk machine shop / 1 student

•ARIEL phase II-2: (photo-fission) •laser beam transport & B2 installations •250 k$ / 4wk machine shop / 1 student

•ARIEL phase III: (proton) •additional lasers & laser beam transport •150 k$ / 4 wk machine shop / 1 student

•Operational funding 45k$/y

Why ARIEL RILIS: •isotope production will require high isobar selectivity •more than 50% of all rare isotope beams delivered from ARIEL will require RILIS ARIEL laser ion source (ALICE) consists of the

(i) ARIEL RILIS laser laboratory, (ii) laser beam transport to the ARIEL target station, optics, and (iii) laser system (pump laser, TiSa lasers, beam diagnostics).

Following ARIEL RILIS will multiplex lasers for proton target station operation and incremental system improvements


•Improves selectivity and purity and allows ionization of new species

ARIEL front-end second accelerator path

• In order to accelerate two radioactive ion beams (RIB) simultaneously it is necessary to build a second accelerator path to inject the beam into the ISAC-II SC linac. This new section includes: a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ2), a drift tube linac (DTL2), two RF bunchers and 50 meters of beam transport line. • The estimated budget is 4.15 millions • The estimated manpower is 238 FTE. •Benefits the accelerated beam program –

astrophysics and nuclear structure – extends beam time available

Energy doubler for RIB production and fast splitter (of electrons on targets)

(1) Build a recirculation ring to direct the electron beam twice through the e-linac, thereby doubling beam energy available for RIB production.

•Production rates increase with beam energy at constant power. •E.g. assuming a single accelerator cryomodule, raising the energy from 30 to 60 MeV at half beam current results in RIB enhancement factor ≈ 2.7. •Equipment = quads, bends, chicane, septum, instrumentation and vacuum. Estimated cost $800k + 7 FTEs labour


•Amplifies neutron rich species yield before 500kW capability

(2) Build a fast splitter to share the electron beam between the east and west targets. Facilitates “simultaneous” electron beams appearing at both targets. Depending on required time structure, the function may be implemented either by a fast kicker magnet or an RF separator. Equipment = splitter and septum, and power supplies.

Estimated cost $300k + 2 person year labour.

West and East Target Stations



Energy doubler for RIB production and fast splitter (of electrons on targets)

•Allows converter development towards high power electron photofission

ARIEL II: East and West Target stations

• Protons at 500 MeV on West Target station

• Electrons 50 MeV-10 mA on East target station


•Multi-user – full ARIEL

• To support reliable operation we need investment of ~2.7 M$ • Intensity upgrade would take ~1.4 M$ • Total budget: 4.1 M$ • Resources: 36 FTE’s over 5 years


•Intensity upgrade required for BL4N primarily

M9 M20

M9-T2 and Col B, Vacuum leaks

BL1A refurbishing • T2-M9 indium joint is not reliable

– Multiple leaks over many years – M9-T2 port is now blanked-off – Apparent shift between M9 front end and

the T2 target station, which creates stress on the indium joint

– Cannot be fixed with present design • Known vacuum leak at indium joint

between T2 and BL1A Q14-15-16 quadrupole triplet (may worsen at any time)

• T2-M20 indium joint leaked many times (last fixed in 2011)


•Upgrade would support CMMS program, M11 particle physics and TNF irradiation; UCN installation upgrade is in upstream section

BL1A refurbishing Project scope: • New T2 station with modern ISAC/ARIEL technology • New M9 & M20 meson channel front ends with

modern quadrupole and vacuum seal technology • New Q14-16 triplet and scraper in BL1A Schedule:

– 2013-2015 - planning and conceptual design – 2015-2017 - dismantling and cleaning – 2017-2020 - installation and commissioning

Budget: 34.45 M$ Resources: 59 FTE’s over 6 years

Cost: 50k$ and 3.6FTE Buncher for ISAC-II: Add two bunchers to SEBT line to achieve bunch widths of 100ps for all energies. Cost: 300k$ and 2FTE New amplifiers for ISAC-II Phase I: The improvement in price and performance in solid state amplifiers gives an opportunity to reduce operational costs and improve stability by replacing the tube amplifiers with solid state technology. Cost: 150k$ and 1FTE

ISAC Facility Upgrades (3)


•More reliable ISAC-II operation

•20% higher energy – benefits nuclear reactions program
