Beam Extraction From The Recycler Ring To P1 Line At Fermilab

TL;DR

This paper describes the design, installation, and commissioning of a beam transfer line from Fermilab's Recycler ring to the P1 line, enabling efficient delivery of 8 GeV protons without new civil construction.

Contribution

It presents the successful implementation and commissioning of an existing beam transfer line at Fermilab, utilizing existing infrastructure for proton delivery.

Findings

Beam line successfully commissioned in June 2016

Existing beam transport lines used without new civil construction

Installation of magnets and beamline elements completed in 2014-2015

Abstract

The transfer line for beam extraction from the Recycler ring to P1 line provides a way to deliver 8 GeV kinetic energy protons from the Booster to the Delivery ring, via the Recycler, using existing beam transport lines, and without the need for new civil construction. It was designed in 2012. The kicker magnets at RR520 and the lambertson magnet at RR522 in the RR were installed in 2014 Summer Shutdown, the elements of RR to P1 Stub (permanent quads, trim quads, correctors, BPMs, the toroid at 703 and vertical bending dipole at V703 (ADCW) were installed in 2015 Summer Shutdown. On Tuesday, June 21, 2016, beam line from the Recycler Ring to P1 line was commissioned. The detailed results will be presented in this report.
