Deflecting high energy proton beam

These parameters must be optimized for the specific accelerator design.In summary, the conversation discusses the use of kicker magnets in particle accelerators for deflecting proton beams at specific angles. The key parameters for designing an effective kicker magnet include the strength and size of the magnetic field and the timing between switching configurations.

hi everyone,

I have a question concerning the magnets physics more precisely about the Kickers/Dipoles.

For my work, I need to design an optical system capable of deflecting a proton beam (4 GeV) switching between to 2 angles (+ 118 mard and -118 mrad) in a raw.

Can a pulsed magnet (or a kicker) do this if it receives alternatively a negative/positive intensity? (If no intensity, the angle would be then 0 mrad).

do you know any experiment that uses this kind of deflector in the world?

best regards

Particle accelerators use these kicker magnets for injection and extraction - switching between a configuration where the beam can orbit in cycles and a configuration where new particles can enter or stored particles can leave.
Key parameters are the necessary strength and size of the magnetic field and the time between the two field configurations.

What is a high energy proton beam?

A high energy proton beam is a stream of protons accelerated to very high speeds using electromagnetic fields. These beams are commonly used in particle accelerators for research and medical purposes.

Why would we want to deflect a high energy proton beam?

Deflecting a high energy proton beam allows us to control the direction and path of the beam. This is important for targeting specific areas in medical treatments or for conducting experiments in particle physics.

How is a high energy proton beam deflected?

A high energy proton beam can be deflected using magnetic fields. The magnets can be arranged in a specific pattern to bend the beam in a desired direction.

What are the potential dangers of a high energy proton beam?

High energy proton beams can be dangerous if not properly contained and controlled. They can cause damage to surrounding materials and tissues, and can also be harmful to humans if not properly shielded.

What are the practical applications of deflecting high energy proton beams?

Deflecting high energy proton beams has many important applications, including medical treatments such as proton therapy for cancer, and research in particle physics to study the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
