| Research Abstract |
This study aims for surveying ultra-fast beam extraction control method in synchrotron. A basic idea is proposed by K. Torikai et al. in 2009. The extracted beam by “third-resonance" has time structure, which contains strong beam intensity peak. The frequency of the peak is around 50Hz to 500Hz. The proposed method uses pulse-shape acceleration voltage in order to control the third-resonance condition andΔp/p.
In this study, a repetition rate of 6MHz, maximum pulse voltage of 100V, pulse-timing accuracy of 2nsec power supply is assembled. When this power supply is installed in synchrotron, it serves for turn-by-turn controlling beam current and On/Off of extraction. Beam circulation frequency in synchrotron for particle therapy is around few or several MHz, and this proposed method provides beam control of few 10 times faster than current control method. This method serves for shortening the irradiation time by 1/10,especially in layer-stacking irradiation method. The power supply, control software and simulation system was assembled through this study.
