Rare-RI Ring (R3)

Overview Concept Configuration Technical Information Publication list/Link

Configuration

The injection line consists of ten quadrupoles and one dipole, in addition to two septa for injecting the particles. The ring consists of six magnetic sectors, each consisting of four dipoles. This dipole is a rectangular magnet with a radially homogeneous magnetic field. Ten one-turn trim-coils are installed in the two outer dipoles of each magnetic sector. The kicker magnets are located in the position of the phase advance 3π/2 from the injection septa, and the extraction septa are located in the position of the phase advance 3π/2 from the kicker magnets.
Plastic scintillation counters are installed in each straight section to check the injection trajectory. Carbon-foil + MCP detector and resonant Schottky pick-up are used to get a revolution frequency information from a circulating particle with and without destruction.

TOF start/stop detectors can be installed at just before/after the ring, respectively. ΔE-E detectors for particle identification can also be installed in a chamber after extraction.

Information of the detectors

1.Timing detector for circulating particles

- Carbon foil + MCP*

Thickness of C-foil :  60 μg/cm2
Size of C-foil : 100 mm x 50 mm

* For details, please see Ref. [4].

2. TOF start/stop detectors

 A T-shaped plastic scintillation counter is used for TOF start detector. For TOF stop detector, a standard plastic scintillation counter is used. For the TOF measurement, these detectors can be used or they can be replaced by the user's detectors depending on the requirements of the experiment.

3. Detectors for particle identification.

 An ion chamber or Si detector will be used for ΔE measurement. Such as NaI can be used for total-E measurement.
