Abstract

The SCRUNCHER is a superconducting radio-frequency cavity for manipulating the longitudinal phase space of the secondary pion beam from the low energy pion channel at LAMPF. Test results of the cavity performance and initial results from in-beam tests are presented.

A beam-current limiting device
1993, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
A method for limiting beam currents in an accelerator to maximum values as low as several μA is described. This method relies on limiting the power supplied to a superconducting RF cavity in which the beam is accelerated. This technique may be useful in meeting health safety requirements at a facility such as LAMPF where low-intensity and high-intensity experimental areas are fed simultaneously with the same primary accelerator.
Pion production at small angles
1993, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
π⁺ and π⁻ production cross sections for 800-MeV protons on C and Cu have been measured at laboratory angles of 0°, 3°, 5°, 7°, 10°, 15°, and 20°. Pions were analyzed using the High Resolution Proton Spectrometer (HRS) facility for momenta from 364 to 675 MeV/c. Particle identification was made utilizing a time-of-flight method. We estimate the total systematic and statistical error to be ±15% for measurements at 0° and 3° and ±10% at other angles. These data have been used to determine the optimum energy and pion production angle for injection into a proposed superconducting accelerator for pions. Protons are the main source of contamination for a π⁺ beam. Proton-to-pion ratios are given for laboratory angles of 5° and larger.
