Schwandt (Indiana University)Abstract: Los Alamos National Laboratory is currently designing facilities for a Proton Radiography project that uses 50 GeV protons from a new accelerator complex. In order to maximize the effect of the system, it is beneficial to direct more than one beam of protons simultaneously from various directions on to the target that is to be studied. We at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility have been studying one particular method to split the initial beam of 50 GeV protons into two separate beams using electric and magnetic components. This separated beam could then be re-split as many times as needed in order to procure the best result. Using the method described in this report, an initial beam of 50 GeV protons can be split into two separate beams, each having a bend of 1.3 degrees from the initial beam direction, after a distance of only 26 m. |
