Performance of the magnetic system of a 12 MeV UPC race-track microtron

The per­for­mance of the mag­netic sys­tem of a 12 MeV elec­tron race-track mi­cro­tron (RTM) which is under con­struc­tion at the Uni­ver­si­tat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) is de­scribed. The RTM mag­netic sys­tem con­sists of two four-pole end mag­nets with the main field level about 0.8 T, one quadru­pole and four beam ex­trac­tion dipoles. As a source of the mag­netic field in these mag­nets a Sa-Co rare earth per­ma­nent mag­net ma­te­r­ial is used. This helps to get a quite com­pact de­sign of the RTM and al­lows to place the mag­netic sys­tems in a high vac­uum en­vi­ron­ment of the ac­cel­er­a­tor vac­uum cham­ber. We dis­cuss re­sults of nu­mer­i­cal sim­u­la­tions of the tun­ing of the end mag­nets by mean of spe­cial tuners and de­scribe their en­gi­neer­ing de­sign which per­mits to as­sem­ble the mag­nets and fix the Sa-Co blocks with­out glu­ing. Also a method and re­sults of mag­netic field dis­tri­b­u­tion mea­sure­ments and mag­net tun­ing are re­ported.Postprint (published version

Rare-earth end magnets of a miniature race-track microtron and their tuning

We report basic results on the tuning of permanent end magnets of a compact 12 MeV race-track microtron (RTM) which is under construction at the Technical University of Catalonia. They are magnetic systems composed of four dipoles with the rare-earth permanent magnet (REPM) material used as a source of the magnetic field. The steel poles of the magnets are equipped with tuning plungers which allow to adjust the magnetic field level. In the article we shortly describe the tuning procedure and different techniques that were used in order to fulfill strict requirements of the field characteristics of the end magnets. It is shown that the obtained magnetic systems provide correct beam trajectories in the 12 MeV RTM. More detailed information about tuning procedure and results of tuning will be published elsewhere.Postprint (published version

Current status of the 12 MeV UPC race-track microtron

A com­pact race-track mi­crotron (RTM) with the max­i­mal out­put en­er­gy 12 MeV is under con­struc­tion at the Uni­ver­si­tat Politècnica de Catalun­ya (UPC) in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Sko­belt­syn In­sti­tute of Nu­cle­ar Physics of the Moscow State Uni­ver­si­ty, CIEMAT and a few Span­ish in­dus­tri­al com­pa­nies and med­i­cal cen­ters. The RTM end mag­nets are four-pole sys­tems with the mag­net­ic field cre­at­ed by a rare-earth per­ma­nent mag­net ma­te­ri­al. As a source of elec­trons a 3D off-ax­is elec­tron gun is used. These el­e­ments to­geth­er with a C-band ac­cel­er­at­ing struc­ture, dipole mag­nets, which allow to ex­tract the elec­tron beam with en­er­gy from 6 MeV to 12 MeV in 2 MeV step, and a fo­cus­ing quadrupole are placed in­side a vac­u­um cham­ber. We re­port on the cur­rent sta­tus of the tech­ni­cal de­sign and re­sults of tests of some of the com­po­nents.Postprint (published version
