Abstract

We study the feasibility of storing cold neutron beams in a strong focusing synchrotron. We also propose an alternating-current (ac) dipole magnet to be used as a neutron acceleration device and a pulsed quadrupole as a neutron beam kicker for injection and extraction. The ac acceleration device can provide adiabatic capture, acceleration, or deceleration of neutron beams. It seems feasible to design a high-quality neutron synchrotron for many future neutron beam applications, such as neutron life time measurements, monoenergetic neutron scattering experiments, and pencil neutron beam applications. This synchrotron can also be used as an injector for a neutron accumulator ring.

冷中子束强聚焦同步加速器的可行性

我们研究了在强聚焦同步加速器中存储冷中子束的可行性。我们还建议使用交流偶极子磁铁作为中子加速装置，并使用脉冲四极子作为中子射入和射出装置。交流加速装置可对中子束进行绝热捕获、加速或减速。设计一台高质量的中子同步加速器似乎是可行的，可用于未来的许多中子束应用，如中子寿命测量、单能中子散射实验和铅笔中子束应用。该同步加速器还可用作中子蓄能环的注入器。
