Monitoring of structural changes in materials under the exposure of ionization radiation using a vibrating wire

Ionizing radiation (X-rays, proton beams) causes structural changes in materials. If a vibrating metallic wire is subjected to such radiation, the natural frequency of the wire is affected as a result of changes in the elastic characteristics of the material. This paper presents the results of experiments on the impact of X-ray radiation in the range of 100-165 keV and a proton beam with energy 18 MeV on the structure of stainless steel wire. In case of proton irradiation an irreversible change in the wire frequency was observed, which indicated residual changes in the structure of the wire material. X-ray diffractometry methods were used to analyze the structural changes.

Electric field lines of an arbitrarily moving charged particle

In this paper it is shown that the equations of electric field lines of an arbitrarily moving charged particle in the general case are reduced to homogeneous, linear differential equations with variable coefficients. For trajectories where the expression b=Zeta/(Gamma*Kappa) is a constant (Zeta - orbit torsion, Kappa - orbit curvature, Gamma - Lorentz factor of a particle) these equations are reduced to homogeneous, linear differential equations with constant coefficients. This case, in particular, includes all planar trajectories. This paper presents solutions of the equations of electric field lines and corresponding illustrations both in the orbital plane and outside it for a charge moving in a flat monochromatic linearly polarized wave.

Vibrating wires for beam diagnostics

A new approach to the technique of scanning by wires is developed. Novelty of the method is that the wire heating quantity is used as a source of information about the number of interacting particles. To increase the accuracy and sensitivity of measurements the wire heating measurement is regenerated as a change of wire natural oscillations frequency. By the rigid fixing of the wire ends on the base an unprecedented sensitivity of the frequency to the temperature and to the corresponding flux of colliding particles. The range of used frequencies (tens of kHz) and speed of processes of heat transfer limit the speed characteristics of proposed scanning method, however, the high sensitivity make it a perspective one for investigation of beam halo and weak beam scanning. Traditional beam profile monitors generally focus on the beam core and loose sensitivity in the halo region where a large dynamic range of detection is necessary. The scanning by a vibrating wire can be also successfully used in profiling and detecting of neutron and photon beams.

Proposal of thermal neutron flux monitors based on vibrating wire

Two types of neutron monitors with fine spatial resolution are proposed based on vibrating wire. In the first type, neutrons interact with the vibrating wire, heat it, and lead to the change of natural frequency, which can be precisely measured. To increase the heat deposition during the neutron scattering, use of gadolinium layer which has the highest thermal neutron capture cross section among all elements is proposed. The second type of the monitor uses vibrating wire as a resonant target. Besides the measurement of beam profile according to the average signal, the differential signal synchronized with the wire oscillations defines the gradient of beam profile. Spatial resolution of the monitor is defined by the diameter of the wire.

Gravimetric Measurement of Magnetic Field Gradient Spatial Distribution

Magnetic interaction between a weighing sample and an external magnetic field allows to measure characteristics of magnetic field (a sample with known magnetic characteristics), as well as the magnetic properties of a sample (a known magnetic field). Measurement of materials magnetic permeability is a well known application of this method. In this paper we restrict ourselves to the measurement of magnetic field spatial distribution, which was achieved by scanning of samples from known materials along the vertical axis. Field measurements by Hall detector were done to calibrate obtained data. Such measurements are of great interest in some branches of physics, in particular, in accelerator physics, where the quality of magnetic system parts eventually determine the quality of accelerated bunches. Development of a simple and cheep device for measurement of magnetic field spatial distribution is an urgent problem. The developed system for gravimetric measurement of magnetic field gradients partially solves this problem.

Vibrating Wire for Beam Profile Scanning

The method for measurement of transverse profile (emittance) of the bunch by detecting of radiation arising scattering at of the bunch on the scanning wire is wide-spread. In this work the information about scattering bunch is proposed to measure using the oscillation frequency of the tightened scanning wire. In such way the system of radiation (or secondary particles) extraction and measurement can be removed. Dependence of oscillations frequency on beam scattering is determined by several factors, including changes of wire tension caused by transverse force of the beam, influence of beam self field. Preliminary calculations show that influence caused by wire heating will dominate. We have studied strain gauges on the basis of vibrating wire from various materials (tungsten, beryl bronze, niobium zirconium alloys). A scheme of self oscillations generation by alternating current in autogeneration circuit with automatic frequency adjustment was selected. Special method of wire fixation and elimination of transverse degrees of freedom allow to achieve relative stability better than 1E-5 during several days. For a tungsten wire with a fixed end dependence of frequency on temperature was 1E-5/K. Experimental results and estimates of wire heating of existing scanners show, that the wire heats up to a few hundred grades, which is enough for measurements.

Generator-Invertor-Dumper System of Electron (Positron) Bunches Moving in Cold plasma for Development of Strong Accelerating Electric Field

It is shown that high accelerating gradient can be obtained in a specially constructed system of electron (positron) bunches, moving in cold plasma,with definite density. These combined bunch systems do not generate the wake fields behind them and can pass through the plasma column in a periodic sequence. The consideration is carried out numericaly and analyticaly in one dimensional approach, (which can be applied to finite system when its transverse dimensions are larger than plasma wave length, divided by $2π$). The possibilities of the experimental tests by measuring the predicted energy gain are discussed on the examples of Argonne Wakefield Accelerator and induction linac with typical parameters.
