16. Lattice Structure of SIS100  Maximum beam acceptance („small“ aperture magnets for fast ramping)  Dispersion free straight sections (no transv. Longit. coupling in rf systems)  Low dispersion in the arcs (momentum spread during compression) D x = 2.5 m  Six superperiods (space for large tune shift and long storage time) General optimization criteria for high current, U 28+ -operation and compression

17. Life Time of U 28+ - ions  Life Time of U 28+ is significantly shorter than of U 73+  Life Time of U 28+ depends strongly on the residual gas pressure and gas components High intensity, heavy ion beams require intermediate charge states ( U 73+ > U 28+ )  Desorption Processes degenerate the residual gas pressure  Beam losses increase with number of injected ions (vacuum instability)

18. Pressure Dynamics Fast variations (time scale  s) Slow variations (time scale sec.)

19. New Design Concepts Principal GOAL : No additional load for the UHV system during beam operation. 1. From all loss mechanisms, only particles which are further stripped by collisions with the residual gas atoms are able to reach the beam pipe within one lattice cell !  Each lattice cell must be designed as a charge separator. The „stripped“ beam (U 29+ ) must be well separated from the reference beam. The low dispersion function in the SIS100 arcs comlicate this issue. 3. The main lattice structure optimization criteria is the collimation efficiency for U 29+ -ions.

20. 4. The collimation efficiency for U 29+ - ions must be 100%. 5. Mainly single (no multiple) ionized ions are generated. 6. The 100% collimation efficiency must be achieved with collimators at maximum distance from the beam edge. No significant acceptance reduction shall be caused by the collimators. 7. No ionization beam losses shall occure on cold and NEG coated surfaces. 8. By a dedicated design, the effective desorption rate of the collimators shall be almost zero. New Design Concepts

22. Lattice Optimization CDR triplet lattice (Acceptance : 100 x 55 mm mrad) Doublet lattice with 3 dipoles per cell (Acceptance : 170 x 50 mm mrad )

23. Collimation Efficiency

24.  The collimation concept is suitable for uranium operation.  The collimation efficiency for other ions species is lower.  The vacuum pressure is effected by uncontrolled losses and gas desorption.  Therefore beam tubes of the magnets shall be cold and act as cryopumps.  Without active cooling, the dipole tube temperature is about 50K.  Additinal cooling channels must be foreseen at least in the drift- and quadrupole chambers.  NEG coating of SIS100/300 magnet chambers is not possible since baking would be required. about 700 m of the chambers will be cold an act as cryo pumps (Present ) Limits of the Concept

25. Collimation Concept wedge collimator at 80 K cold, pumping sec. chamber at 4,5 K

26. Wedge collimator, Secondary chamber + cryo pump The collimations system must controle the desorption gases (  eff = 0) Prototype Desorption Collimator

27. Vacuum Stabilization  Short cycle time and short sequences SIS12 :10 T/s - SIS100 : 4 T/s (new network connection in preparation)  Enhanced pumping power (Actively cooled magnet chambers 4.5 K (750m), NEG coating (250m) (local and distributed)  Localization of losses and controle of desorption gases Prototype desorption collimator installed in S12  Low-desorption rate materials Desorption rate test stand in operation wedge collimator increased pressure ion beam cryo pump

28. Summary of UHV issues 1.A promising concept for the high current U 28+ operation exists. 2.The situation of the SIS12 booster operation is more critical since the lattice is not optimized for collimation and multiple ionization is more probable. 3.No consistent concept for the operation with other heavy (e.g. Au, Pb) ions is worked out. Collimation efficiency is lower and fractions of the beam may get lost uncontrolled. Ionisation cross section drop for lighter ions.
