  • 真空稳定性问题是粒子加速器设计中的关键问题之一, 对高能量的超级质子-质子对撞机而言更是如此. 质子束流在弯转区产生的同步辐射将会引起束屏壁面吸附的气体分子发生解吸和裂解, 从而引发真空不稳定问题, 导致束流品质和寿命的降低, 甚至引起束流的崩溃. 本文通过建立超级质子-质子对撞机束屏内的气体动态模型, 首次计算分析了束屏内气体密度随束流运行时间的演化规律, 并探究了将非蒸散型吸气剂涂层应用于束屏设计的优化方案. 结果表明: H2是束屏内的主要解吸气体, 其次是CO, 而CO2和CH4分子密度被分子裂解所限制. 束屏内最高气体密度出现在运行初期, 气体密度随时间呈下降趋势. 考虑到非蒸散型吸气剂涂层具有强化吸附降低解吸的特性, 讨论了不锈钢镀TiZrV涂层的束屏方案, 计算得到最高等效H2密度相比不锈钢镀铜降低接近两个数量级. 计算结果定性地反映束流运行过程中束屏内的动态真空演化情况, 可为真空系统设计提供参考.

     

    Vacuum stability is one of the key issues in the design of particle accelerators, especially high-energy super proton-proton colliders. The synchrotron radiation generated by proton beams in the bending area will desorb and crack the gas molecules which have adsorbed on the wall of the cold bore. The collision or scattering between the proton beam and the desorbed gas molecules may result in the degradation of the beam quality and the reduction of beam life time, and even the collapse of the beam. Usually a copper coated stainless steel beam screen is installed in the cold bore to intercept synchrotron radiation and reduce gas desorption. Based on the design parameters of the Super Proton-Proton Collider, in this paper the source of gas in the beam screen is analyzed. By considering the photon-induced desorption process and the gas molecule cracking process, the gas dynamic model in the beam screen is established. Moreover, the calculation of the evolution of the gas density in the beam screen with the beam operating time is carried out, and the effect of TiZrV non-evaporable getter film coated beam screen on the dynamic gas density is explored. The results show that H2 is the main desorption gas in the beam, the next is CO, while the molecular density of CO2 and CH4 are limited by molecular cracking. The maximum gas density in the beam screen appears at the initial stage of operation, and the gas density decreases with time going by. In order to strengthen adsorption and reduce desorption, TiZrV coated beam screen is discussed in this paper. In the case of TiZrV coated stainless steel beam screen, the maximum equivalent H2 density is about two order of magnitude lower than in the case of copper coated stainless steel beam screen. The non-evaporable getter(NEG) for beam screen material can significantly improve vacuum performance. The calculation results can qualitatively reflect the dynamic vacuum evolution in the beam screen during the beam operation and provide a reference for designing vacuum systems.
