2. A 0.5 MW ISIS Replace old 70 MeV Linac with 180 MeV version and upgrade injection beam lines and ring injection region. Synchrotron Space charge limit scales as β 2 γ 3 hence 80 to 180 MeV ≈ factor of 2.60 so output scales from 0.2 to 0.5 MW. Presentation focuses on Ring Studies/Modelling: Transverse and longitudinal dynamics, injection, foils, magnets, RF and beam loss control.

3. Injection Scheme M1 M2 M3 M4 inner radius stripping foil h. & v. sweeper magnets H-H- p+p+ 4  pulsed ferrite, magnets (0.17 T, 45 – 55 mrad, 26,000 A in ~500  s) beam dump H- charge exchange injection over 500 turns on either falling rising or symmetric point of main magnet field. Horizontal painting using dynamic injection bump (50-200 π mm mrad) Vertical painting via sweeper magnets (50-200 π mm mrad). Longitudinal paint ±0-1.3 MeV using Linac injection energy and Ring RF bucket frequency errors. Chopped at ± 110° wrt Ring RF phase.

5. 3D Studies Centred around use of ORBIT code (Fermilab, SNS). Version used here modified to include RF Offsets and Acceleration. Models: Injection/Acceleration with Ramping Tunes and Harmonic Envelope Errors. Machine apertures and collimators (Beam Loss). ‘3D space charge’ routine. Foil scattering. Run in parallel environment using ~ 2M macro particles. Produces: 6D phase space, emittance evolution, beam losses, foil hits, beam moments etc

6. ORBIT Injection Studies 3D Injection painting simulated. Produce beam with maximum emittance 300 π mm mrad (un- normalised) Centroid painting roughly constant at 100 π mm mrad. 6D phase space at end of injection H and V 99% emittance evolution Dynamic injection bump

Raising Vertical tune leads to loss of dynamic aperture (right) and coupling resonances Lowering Vertical Tune below half integer leads to sextupole resonance driven by images. 3D version of SET (SET3D) in development to complement ORBIT studies Nominal design tune

14. Summary Installing a new 180 MeV linac could increase ISIS power to ~ 0.5 MW Looks technically challenging but studies have shown no ‘show stoppers’. A variety of modelling software for beams and hardware used: ORBIT, in-house foil code, ANSYS, Opera, CST, SET (in-house) and HFSS 3D beam code SET3D in development to benchmark against ORBIT. Feasibility study almost complete. Report finalised in ~ 3 months.
