Lead ion beam emittance and transmission studies in the PS-SPS complex at CERN

In the Lead Ion Facility at CERN [1] Pb53+ ion beams are accelerated up to a kinetic energy of 4.2 GeV/u in the CERN PS, extracted and stripped to Pb82+ in the transfer line from PS to SPS where they are injected and accelerated up to 157 GeV/u. The stripping efficiency, emittance growth and energy...

Descripción
Sumario:In the Lead Ion Facility at CERN [1] Pb53+ ion beams are accelerated up to a kinetic energy of 4.2 GeV/u in the CERN PS, extracted and stripped to Pb82+ in the transfer line from PS to SPS where they are injected and accelerated up to 157 GeV/u. The stripping efficiency, emittance growth and energy loss in Al strippers of different thicknesses have been measured and they are in good agreement with the theoretical values. The results of these measurements and considerations on the PS-SPS transmission efficiency are presented. [1] D. Warner, ed., ŒCERN Heavy-Ion Facility Design Report¹, CERN 93-01.
