degrader stage which provides an effective pre-selection before the fragment beam impinges onto<br />

the main degrader. A straight forward consequence is that the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS consists of a two-stage<br />

magnetic system, the Pre- and the Main-<strong>Separator</strong>, each equipped with a degrader, having 6 intermediate<br />

focal planes.<br />

This condition for fully stripped fragments requires a high-energy operating domain. On the other<br />

hand, the thicknesses of the production target and degraders have to be optimized to prevent substantial<br />

losses due to secondary nuclear reactions. The selection of the maximum magnetic rigidity<br />

of 20 Tm results from these physical criteria, the optimization of the performance, costs of the<br />

magnetic elements and their dynamic range.<br />

2.4.1.2.1 Ion-Optical Layout<br />

The ion-optical layout of the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS (High-Energy-Branch) and its imaging conditions are<br />

depicteed in Figure 2.4.3. The envelopes and the dispersion line are plotted for primary-beam<br />

emittances of 40 π mm mrad, and ∆p/p of ±2.5 %, respectively. The target spot size is assumed to<br />

be ±1 mm and ±2 mm in the x- and y-direction, respectively. The magnet system consists of the<br />

Pre-<strong>Separator</strong> and the Main-<strong>Separator</strong>, each equipped with an energy-degrader stage. The Pre- and<br />

Main-<strong>Separator</strong> are both achromatic systems, hence the complete system is also achromatic. This<br />

means the image size at the final focal plane is independent of the momentum spread of the<br />

fragments at the entrance of the system and thus guarantees the best spatial isotopic separation.<br />

Figure 2.4.3: Ion-optical elements, beam envelopes (full lines) and the dispersion line for 2.5 % momentum<br />

deviation (dashed line) are shown in the lattice of the <strong>Super</strong>-FRS. Here, the High-Energy-Branch (HEB) is<br />

presented. The envelopes result from an emittance of 40 π mm mrad in x and y direction. The different focal<br />

planes of the Pre-<strong>Separator</strong> (P) and the Main-<strong>Separator</strong> (M) are indicated by (P, M) F1–F4. Quadrupole<br />

triplets are placed in front of and behind the dipole magnets to achieve the desired ion-optical conditions at<br />

the focal planes and to properly illuminate the dipole magnets to achieve the required optical resolving<br />

power. Hexapole magnets and octupole correction coils which are superimposed to the quadrupole magnets<br />

are applied to correct image aberrations, especially at the degrader positions and the achromatic focal<br />

planes. The lengths of hexapole magnets and new dimensions of drift-lengths are main modifications<br />

compared to the previous design in the FAIR BTR.<br />
