Intense Hadron Beams for Research into Matter at Extremes

Inertial Confinement Fusion Physics > Alternative ICF and pulsed power technology-I

The next generation of heavy ion drivers – (NICA HIAF) - will provide worldwide unique accelerator and experimental facilities allowing for a large variety of unprecedented fore-front research in extreme state of matter physics and applied science.

This presentation outlines ongoing activities on development of heavy ion accelerator facilities, providing high-brightness beams capable of generating intense beams of stable isotopes and radioactive ions.  Manifested facilities goals is pushing the “intensity” and the “precision frontiers” to the extremes when accelerating full range of ion beam species from p+ to U to highest beam intensities and luminosities.

Consideration is focused on the recent achievements in high power linear accelerator injection chains, rapid cycling superconducting magnets of large synchrotron rings, ultra-high dynamic vacuum technologies, efficient accumulation and cooling of intense heavy ion beams.

Overview of the rapid progress in development of heavy ion accelerator facilities in JINR is presented. Dubna accelerators are capable of generating high-brightness intense beams of heavy ions and protons for basic research and for various applications. Construction of new generation of heavy ion accelerator facilities is progressing well and forefront accelerator technologies are under development in JINR for low energy as well as for relativistic heavy ion and proton beams.
