6 HINS Chopper – Part I Should the HINS be extended to an 8 GeV Linac, output beam would be transferred to Fermilabs Main Injector, with 53 MHz RF frequency HINS Linac Bunches are spaced by 325 MHz (3.1ns) In MI, RF frequency is ~53 MHz (~19ns) Dont want bunches in the 53 MHz separatrix Chop out ~1 of every 6 bunches Additional complication: 325 n G 53 Sometimes chop 1, sometimes 2 6Robyn Madrak - FNAL APT Seminar - 12/16/2008

17 Microstrips in General phase velocity and impedance are determined by effective dielectric constant: Delay time ( ) and Z 0 may be adjusted by Adjusting d, W, and also meander pathlength Using only one trace or two in parallel Adding an air gap beneath the dielectric (changes e ); can be used to tune 17 view from end view from top

18 FNAL Fabricated Meanders We have pursued the following: 1.Use double meander design with air gap between meander and ground plane (50 Ω w/no gap, 100 Ω /w gap) 2.Using single meander Material: Rogers TMM10i, Cu clad; =9.8, 18 long (46 cm) Meander is formed by routing out traces double meander single meander 20mm 40mm 78 mm 18Robyn Madrak - FNAL APT Seminar - 12/16/2008

25 Coverage Factor V -V d chopper plates E = C * 2V/d (electric field) coverage factor The electric field between the chopper plates is less than that for a structure in which the entire surface is conducting This must be accounted for in the chopper design when determining the voltage needed for the desired kick conductor dielectric 25Robyn Madrak - FNAL APT Seminar - 12/16/2008

33 Chopper: Summary We have built prototypes for the necessary components for the chopper: the pulser, meander structures, and combiner The prototype pulsers from Kentech performed to specs; For a complete chopper system we need 3 more We have built a combiner suited for combining these fast pulses We have explored different layouts for the chopper plates (meander structures). The higher coverage factor single meander is the best candidate. For more details, see proceedings of Linac08 : R. Madrak et al., A Fast Chopper for the Fermilab High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) 33Robyn Madrak - FNAL APT Seminar - 12/16/2008

34 Aside: Application of Chopper R&D to the current accelerator Initially explored the option of using a few fast, 1 kV FETs from DEI for Chopper pulser Realized these could be used for notching in the 750 keV line: create a notch for booster kicker rise time (minimize losses) This effort was begun initially in collaboration with Doug Moehs (first attempt was chopping in the source) 34Robyn Madrak - FNAL APT Seminar - 12/16/2008
