Ion optics from SIS to the production target<br />

DRAFT<br />

The ion-optical momentum resolution determines the separation power of the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS for the<br />

spatially separated fragment beams. Therefore, a small and constant beam spot at the target position<br />

is essential, typically 1 and 2 mm in x- and y-direction, respectively. Only an excellent<br />

achromatic focus corrected for higher-order aberration can fulfil this necessary condition at the<br />

entrance of the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS. The achromatic condition is especially indispensable for the fast extracted<br />

projectile beam which is characterized by the large momentum spread of ±1 % (1σ value),<br />

which even exceeds for some fragments the spread due to the nuclear creation process. This has<br />

two consequences:<br />

• The magnetic system from the accelerator to the production target has to be an achromatic<br />

system (corrected with higher-order multipole fields if necessary).<br />

• A special focusing system subsequent to the achromate will be applied to reach the required<br />

spot size at the position of production target indicated by PF0.<br />

The achromatic beam transport is described in section 2.3 of this report. A layout of a split-lens<br />

optics for low (10 Tm) and high (100 Tm) magnetic rigidities is presented in Figure 2.4.4. The<br />

focusing system must handle the beam from SIS100/300 or from SIS18 directly. The quadrupole<br />

lenses in the multiplet are split into several parts corresponding to the operating domain. This<br />

configuration has the advantage to apply the super-ferric magnet type as suggested for the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS.<br />

The magnetic system is characterized by a length of 28 m. Operating experience for this<br />

type of magnet exists in several laboratories.<br />

Figure 2.4.4: Ion-optical layout of the split-quadrupole fine-focusing system to be positioned directly in front<br />

of the production target. The operating range is determined by the option that projectile beams from SIS18<br />

or SIS100/300 are applied for experiments at the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS. Quadrupole Q1 is of the SIS100 type,<br />

whereas Q2-Q4 are of the same type. The calculation has been performed at 27 Tm.<br />
