Nach dem einführenden Theorieteil werden in den darauffolgenden Kapiteln zuerst die Auslegung und die Vermessung der drei Tripletts an der GSI in Darmstadt beschrieben und dann versucht mit Hilfe von LORASR einen Akzeptanzrahmen der MEBT-Sektion (Medium Energy Beam Transport) für ein Teilchenpaket anzugeben. Anschließend werden die Ergebnisse aus Feldvermessung und CST EM STUDIO Feldsimulationen verglichen. Damit soll die Frage, inwieweit es mit Particle Tracking Simulationen, in denen mit in CST EM STUDIO simulierten und anschließend in BENDER importierten Feldern gearbeitet wird, möglich ist, zutreffende Aussagen zu machen, beantwortet werden. Im letzten Kapitel werden wiederum die Ergebnisse dieser Simulationen präsentiert und ihre Bedeutung, im Vergleich mit den erweiterten Untersuchungen der Transporteigenschaften durch verschiedene aus überlagerten Multipolfeldern generierten Magnetfelder, eingeordnet. Abschließend wird nochmals ein Fazit zur Aussagekraft der Ergebnisse und der Folgen für den Strahltransport gezogen und ein Ausblick auf die noch ausstehenden Schritte und weitere experimentelle Analyseoptionen gegeben.
The crossbar H-mode (CH) cavity is an accelerating structure operated in the H21(0) mode. The robustness of the crossbar geometry allows one to realize room temperature as well as superconducting linac cavities. The shunt impedance characteristics of this structure are attractive to develop proton and heavy ion linacs in the low and medium beta range. A first room temperature eight-cell prototype has proven the feasibility of the crossbar design in terms of mechanical construction, copper plating, and cooling. An innovative rf coupling concept has been developed where two CH cavities are connected by a two gap E010-mode resonator which, at the same time, provides transverse focusing by a quadrupole triplet. The concept has been applied in the design of the new FAIR proton linac and a scaled model of the second cavity of this injector has been built and tested too. The full scale prototype is now under construction at the University of Frankfurt. In this paper, the room temperature CH cavity development as well as the general layout of the FAIR proton injector (70 MeV, 325 MHz, 70 mA) is presented and discussed.
A full session was organized in memory of Helmut Oeschler during the 2017 edition of the Strangeness in Quark Matter Conference. It was heart-warming to discuss with the audience his main achievements and share anecdotes about this exceptionally praised and appreciated colleague, who was also a great friend for many at the conference. A brief summary of the session is provided with these proceedings.
The structure and flexibility of RNA depends sensitively on the microenvironment. Using pulsed electron-electron double-resonance (PELDOR)/double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy combined with advanced labeling techniques, we show that the structure of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) changes upon internalization into Xenopus lævis oocytes. Compared to dilute solution, the dsRNA A-helix is more compact in cells. We recapitulate this compaction in a densely crowded protein solution. Atomic-resolution molecular dynamics simulations of dsRNA semi-quantitatively capture the compaction, and identify non-specific electrostatic interactions between proteins and dsRNA as a possible driver of this effect.
An important experimental program on Nuclear Astrophysics is being carried out at the n_TOF since several years, in order to address the still open issues in stellar and primordial nucleosynthesis. Several neutron capture reactions relevant to s-process nucleosynthesis have been measured so far, some of which on important branching point radioisotopes. Furthermore, the construction of a second experimental area has recently opened the way to challenging measurements of (n, charged particle) reactions on isotopes of short half-life. The Nuclear Astrophysics program of the n_TOF Collaboration is here described, with emphasis on recent results relevant for stellar nucleosynthesis, stellar neutron sources and primordial nucleosynthesis.
We investigate the modification of the pion self-energy at finite temperature due to its interaction with a low-density, isospin-symmetric nuclear medium embedded in a constant magnetic background. To one loop, for fixed temperature and density, we find that the pion effective mass increases with the magnetic field. For the π−, interestingly, this happens solely due to the trivial Landau quantization shift ∼|eB|, since the real part of the self-energy is negative in this case. In a scenario in which other charged particle species are present and undergo an analogous trivial shift, the relevant behavior of the effective mass might be determined essentially by the real part of the self-energy. In this case, we find that the pion mass decreases by ∼10% for a magnetic field |eB|∼mπ2, which favors pion condensation at high density and low temperatures.
The development of the designs of the superconducting CH cavities of the HELIAC project from CH0 [27] to CH1 and CH2 [1] has undergone permanent improvements and adaptations based on the learned experiences of each previous cavity. For example, the design of CH1 and CH2 focused on mechanical stabilization and optimization of performance by minimizing peak electric and magnetic fields. As a result, the changes made there were already able to increase stability and performance compared to CH0 by simplifying the design in different ways. The process of designing both cavities was time reasonable, since they are identical in construction and thus only one design had to be developed. However, for both the development and manufacturing of an entire accelerator of individual CH cavities, this type of design would become too time consuming and costly. In order to reduce this time-consuming design process and accelerate the fabrication of superconducting CH cavities, and also reduce costs, a modular cavity design for mass production of superconducting CH cavities was developed as presented in this thesis. In the following section, the conclusions gained in this work and the results already presented will be summarized once again.
So in the first chapters of this thesis the theoretical foundations were laid, which are necessary for the description of superconducting cavities and for their development process, like a theoretical description of superconductivity itself (see chapter 2), the physical basics of RF-acceleration and of the CH cavity (see chapter 3), but also the effects that limit the superconducting cavities in terms of acceleration (see chapter 4) or the properties and laws from structural mechanics needed in later measurements and simulation (see chapter 5). Based on the theoretical foundations given in these sections, all measurements, evaluations and simulations made in the following sections were made.
