FIELD: physics. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to acceleration techniques and can be used in making induction cyclic accelerators for industrial purposes, e.g. for modifying and producing new materials, sterilising medical instruments and food products, disinfecting medical wastes and other wastes, cleaning industrial flue gases from hazardous SOx and NOx oxides. The disclosed method involves achieving given final energy (≤10 MeV) using a rectangular wave of accelerating induction voltage and a triangular wave of the guiding magnetic field. In order to keep the radius of the equilibrium orbit constant during acceleration, special relationships between amplitude-time characteristics of magnetic induction on the orbit and induced accelerating voltage are satisfied. In order to realise strong focusing, a magnetic field with a large alternating gradient is formed on the orbit. EFFECT: high average power of a beam of accelerated charged particles, reduced size and weight of the induced cyclic accelerator of electrons, simple power supply system of the induction accelerating system, low cost of the accelerator. 5 dwg
The invention relates to accelerator technology and can be used when creating induction of cyclic accelerators for industrial use, for example, for the modification and production of new materials, sterilization of medical instruments and food products, disinfection of medical and other waste, flue gas purification of industrial enterprises from harmful SO x and NO x oxides. Known electron accelerators for industrial technology type ELV [1]. This direct action accelerators, in which the accelerating electric field is created by permanent difference of potentials between the cathode and the anode electrode. For extraction of a beam from the accelerator, the electrode must be under the ground potential, so in direct action accelerators cathode voltages equal to the energy of accelerated electrons. At an energy of 2.5 MeV at the cathode is the voltage of 2.5 MB, and the accelerator design of direct action should provide electrical isolation of the cathode at a constant voltage equal to the maximum allowable energy. This determines the large size of direct action accelerators (more than 4 m high). In high-frequency accelerators (which include accelerators type DRS) for acceleration of electrons is used alternating high frequency (HF) electric field, so the issue of providing electrical isolation is solved easier. In accelerators type DRS electrons are accelerated in the gap RF resonator high quality. The resonator excited HF generator through the loop of communication and RF circuit works as a step-up transformer. Accelerators type DRS [2-4] are resonator machines running at the standing half. Working frequency accelerators DRS are in a meter band radio waves - 118 MHz (IL-6 and IL-10) and 180 MHz (SILT-8). The length of the accelerating gap accelerator DRS-8 - 3.6 cm, ILU-6 - 16 cm, ILU-10 - 26 see, for Accelerating the clearance of these machines shorter wavelength in vacuum, so in the process of acceleration of electrons gained energy, almost equal to the maximum voltage at the resonator. In accelerators DRS used triode electron gun (with a control electrode), located directly in front of the accelerating gap. Using a control voltage to electronic gun allows you to quickly adjust the beam current and reduces the phase angle of injection, which significantly reduces fluctuations of the energy of the electrons in the beam. Accelerators type DRS have their advantages and disadvantages in relation to the most widespread type of accelerators, accelerators direct action, which include produce INP accelerators of ELV type. Accelerators DRS is the pulse of the machine. Their dimensions are smaller (height of 2-2,4 m), and the energy of accelerated electrons more (1-5 MeV)than that of ELV accelerators. They do not need a tank of compressed gas SF 6 for gas insulation of high voltage parts of the accelerator. In the accelerator ILU-10 on triode electron gun is served RF voltage with adjustable phase shift relative to the accelerating voltage that changes the phase angle of injection and reduces the dispersion of the energies of electrons in the beam. The disadvantages of accelerators DRS include: the relatively low conversion factor consumed the electric power in the beam power, and maximum power accelerators (up to 50 kW) is limited by the power produced by the generator lamps. Unlike the linear accelerators of ELV and DRS cyclic accelerators have no high voltage accelerating systems with the voltage of up to 1-5 MB. The required energy of the electrons acquire at multiple passing of accelerating gap voltage average value [5, 6]. For radiation technologies used in industry, requires accelerated electron beams with energies of 0.5-10 MeV. Cyclic accelerators in this energy range is much smaller and cheaper than direct action accelerators and microwave accelerators. Induction of cyclic accelerators [5, 6] and the criteria proposed in this work, have low weight of the magnetic material and are not tunable resonant accelerating structure, but they are intended for induction acceleration of light particles - electrons, which are quickly gaining speed on the first speed, and the main acceleration process is conducted at the speed of particles near the speed of light. The period of revolution of the electron in the range of the required energy is t<10 NS, which complicates the formation of accelerating pulses of duration t/2 and fronts order ≤10 -9 C. As a prototype choose the method [6]. This method consists in that form an increasing time-magnetic field with an average value of magnetic induction, much less of magnetic field induction in orbit, form the alternating magnetic field gradient in orbit with the index of the field, many large units (strong focus), Inuktitut it charged particles; accelerate charged particles pulse induction electric field and take accelerated particles. The disadvantages of the prototype specified earlier. The technical result of the invention is to increase the average power of the accelerated beam, as well as reducing the weight and dimensions of the accelerator by reducing the perimeter of the orbit and shorten the duration of the cycle, simplify and reduce the cost of accelerating system, reducing the cost of the accelerator and the increase of the adjustment range of the energy of accelerated electrons. The method of induction of electron acceleration is that growing form in the magnetic field with an average much less than the magnetic field on the orbit; form the alternating gradient magnetic fields in orbit with the index field many large units (strong focus); Inuktitut in him electrons; accelerate the electron pulse induction electric field and take accelerated electrons, for acceleration of electrons form a triangular waveform leading magnetic field and rectangular waveform induction accelerating electric field, duration accelerating part of a wave is equal to the duration of linear growth of the magnetic induction on the equilibrium orbit that corresponds to the duration of the acceleration process, the change of the flow of magnetic induction Δ in the inductors accelerating system choose from the relation: Δ F = 1 e Δ P L = Δ B i n d S ,where ΔP=P-P 0 - the growth momentum of the electrons in the acceleration process (P 0 - momentum of electrons injection, P is the momentum of the electrons in the end of the process acceleration), L is the perimeter of the orbits of electrons, & Delta; b ind ≤2B S - band changes induction in accelerating inductors in the acceleration process, B S - induction of saturation inductors, S=Δrl - total cross section of all inductors accelerating section (Δr-radial size of the inductors / -length induction section), e is the electron charge, at the same time, the accelerating voltage choose from the relation: & Delta; b ind S=V acc T, where V acc total voltage accelerating inductors, T - duration of the accelerating momentum. Distinctive features of the claimed process is the following: to accelerate electrons form a triangular waveform leading magnetic field and rectangular waveform induction accelerating electric field, duration accelerating part of a wave is equal to the duration of linear growth of the magnetic induction on the equilibrium orbit that corresponds to the duration of the acceleration process, thus, altering the flow of magnetic induction in Δ inductors accelerating system choose from the relation: Δ F = 1 e Δ P L = Δ B i n d S ,where ΔP=P-P 0 - the growth momentum of the electrons in the acceleration process (P 0 - momentum of electrons injection, P is the momentum of the electrons in the end of the process acceleration), L is the perimeter of the orbits of electrons, & Delta; b ind ≤2B S - band changes induction in accelerating inductors, B S - induction of saturation inductors, S=Δrl - total cross section of all inductors accelerating section (Δr - radial size of inductors, l-the length of the induction section), e is the electron charge, at the same time, the accelerating voltage choose from the relation: & Delta; b ind S=V acc T, where V acc total voltage accelerating inductors, T - duration of the accelerating momentum. The technical result of the invention that uses this method is: reducing the weight and dimensions of the accelerator by reducing the perimeter of the orbit and shorten the duration of the cycle; simplify and reduce the cost of accelerating system, reducing the cost of the accelerator and the increase of the adjustment range of the energy of accelerated electrons. This is achieved by the combination of all the essential features of the formula can accelerate electrons from energy injection until the specified end energy, not a series of pulses of accelerating induction system, the number of which is equal to the number acceleration cycles (the speed of the electron acceleration), and the duration of each accelerating pulse (less than or equal to half the period of conversion electrons t 0 ≤10 -9 c), and one square wave pulse with a duration equal to the acceleration process of t-10o -7 -10 -6 C. This method of acceleration allows to reduce to the minimum the period of revolution of the electron, which leads to an increase in the average beam power, reduction of the perimeter of the orbit, to reduce the size of the accelerator, its weight and cost, significant simplification and cheapening of the system of formation of the accelerating voltage pulse. Adjusting the energy of the electrons at the exit of the accelerator produces a change of the parameter T waves of magnetic induction of accelerating voltage. In addition, the use of induction method of acceleration acceleration of electrons in increasing magnetic field with an average magnetic field is much less of a magnetic field on the orbit and with alternating magnetic field gradient in orbit (strong focus), can further increase the beam intensity and reduce the weight and cost of electron accelerator. The list of drawings Figure 1 - the scheme of the accelerator. Figure 2 - scheme of the C-shaped cores with alternating gradient. Figure 3 - the wave form of the magnetic induction on the equilibrium orbit. Figure 4 diagram On-shaped cores of induction accelerating section. Figure 5 - amplitude-time characteristics of magnetic induction on the equilibrium orbit (a) and the accelerating voltage coils On-shaped cores (inductors) (b). The method works as follows: a Beam of charged particles (electrons) derive the equilibrium orbit of a particle beam hold on equilibrium orbit magnetic field With-shaped magnets (1), accelerating electric field induced by On-shaped ferromagnetic cores (inducers) (2), and at achievement of the required energy is removed from the accelerator. For the implementation of the proposed method of acceleration increasing in time the magnetic field in orbit form S-shaped magnets with high gradients field n>>1 and n<<-1. The combination of two types-shaped cores assures focus ions. Figure 2 shows a diagram C-shaped cores of magnets with alternating gradient. Electromagnets form a triangular shape of the waves of the magnetic field. The wave form of the magnetic induction B 0 in orbit shown in figure 3, where T - the duration of the growing part of the wave induction corresponding to the duration of the process of acceleration. Particles moving on the equilibrium orbit, are accelerated by the electric field induced by On-shaped ferromagnetic cores (inducers), which are located on the straight parts of the accelerator. Figure 4 shows a diagram Of-shaped cores of induction accelerating system: 1) ferromagnetic cores, inductors, 2) excitation coils, 3) lines of force of the induced electric field. In order to accelerate the equilibrium radius of the orbit remained constant, you must perform the well-known condition of constancy in the acceleration process ratio P (t) /eB (t) =const, where P (t) and b (t) is the momentum of ions and magnetic field induction in orbit in the acceleration process, e is the electron charge. This condition occurs when the value of the total induced On-shaped cores voltage equal to: V acc =R 0 LdB/dt, where R 0 is the equilibrium radius of the orbit, L - total perimeter of the orbit with account of linear sections. Amplitude-time characteristics of magnetic induction on the orbit and the accelerating voltage coils On-shaped cores (inductors) is shown in Figure 5: a) the wave Form of induction of a magnetic field on the equilibrium orbit In 0(t) , b) the wave Form of induction of accelerating voltage inductors V acc(t) . The pulse duration of the accelerating voltage V acc(t) is equal to the duration of linear growth of the magnetic induction on the equilibrium orbit In 0(t) that corresponds to the duration of the process of acceleration of electrons. The positive part of the pulse accelerates the ions and negative part peremagnichivanii On-shaped cores and returns them to their original state. Such a mode of acceleration is possible if the change of the total flow of magnetic induction in the inductors accelerating section Δ=ind & Delta; b's and a change in the momentum of the electrons Δ=P-P 0 are based: Δ F = 1 e Δ P L ,as the total voltage induction section V acc =Δ/T where & Delta; b ind ≤2B S - change induction B S - induction of saturation, S - total cut of core inductors, L is total length of the perimeter of the given linear sections, P=mcβγ and P 0 - final and initial impulses of electrons, T - duration of the process of acceleration, c is the light velocity, beta and gamma - relative speed and relativistic factor of electrons. Formation of a magnetic field in the gaps With-shaped electromagnet with a large radial gradient and implementation of ion focusing alternating field gradient (strong focus) allows to increase the number of electrons accelerated in one cycle acceleration. Great indicator of magnetic field reduces the amplitude of betatron oscillations and reduces the size of the vacuum chamber, to reduce the size, weight and cost of the C-shaped magnets. For example, consider the basic parameters of the electron accelerator for the 10 MeV. When energy 10 MeV relativistic factor of the electrons is equal to g=20.6, and their relative speed β≅of 1.0. When the amplitude of the magnetic induction leading magnetic field B max =0.1 T a closed orbit radius R is equal to 0: R 0 =P max /eB max =mc 2 γβ/ecB max =0.33 l, where P max - the maximum momentum of the electron, e is the electron charge, m is the electron mass, and c is the light velocity,?=V/c - relative velocity protons, B max - the maximum amplitude of the magnetic induction field. If the total perimeter of the orbit with account of linear sections equal to L≈2.4 m, then the period of accelerated protons will be equal to t min was 8·10 -9 C, and the requested change of the flow of magnetic induction will be: Δ F = 1 e Δ P L = m c 2 γ β e c = 0.08 T l x m 2The duration of the acceleration cycle T=1 ISS, the amplitude of accelerating voltage will be V acc =Δ/T=80 kV. When the radial size of the cross section of inductors accelerating section, equal Δr=0.2 m, the length of the section of inductors is equal to l=0.4 m If the radial size of each inductor ≈ 0.01 m, it will take 40 inductors with the voltage on the exciting coils ind V =2 kV. If necessary, voltage V ind can be reduced by increasing the duration of the acceleration cycle T. For the formation of a square wave accelerating voltage, you can use transistor key schemes. Transistor converters DC voltage in AC have high reliability, durability and efficiency In work [7] reported on the implementation of the Converter with the capacity of 1.6 MW with a switching frequency 150 kHz. Available transistor switches with switching frequencies up to 30 MHz and a capacity of up to 1.8 kW [8]. Rapid progress in the field of semiconductor switches make it possible to hope that powerful power supply system for induction accelerators of particles with high repetition rate cycles will be developed in the near future.
