Monday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu1PHYS 3446 – Lecture #15Monday, Oct. 30, 2006Dr. Jae Yu1. Particle Accelerators• Electro-static Accelerators• Cyclotron Accelerators• Synchrotron Accelerators2. Elementary Particle Properties• Forces and their relative magnitudes• Elementary particles• Quantum Numbers• Gell-Mann-Nishijima Relations• Production and Decay of ResonancesMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu2• Quiz in class Wednesday, Nov. 1• LPCC Workshop Saturday, Nov. 4• Homework: Carry out Fourier transformation and derive equations 9.3 and 9.5AnnouncementsMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu3• How can one obtain high energy particles?– Cosmic ray Î Sometimes we observe 1000TeV cosmic rays• Insufficient statistics due to low flux• Cannot control momenta too well• Need to look into small distances to probe the fundamental constituents with full control of particle energies and fluxes– Particle accelerators• What else do you think accelerators have do other than particle acceleration?– Track them– Maneuver (focus or turn) them– Constrain their motions to the order of 1µm• Why?– Must correct particle paths and momenta to increase fluxes and control momentaParticle AcceleratorsMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu4• Depending on what the main goals of physics are, one needs different kinds of accelerator experiments• Fixed target experiments: Probe the nature of the nucleons ÎStructure functions– Use neutrinos or charged leptons (electrons or muons) to probe proton or neutron internal structure– Results also can be used for producing secondary particles for further accelerations Î Tevatron anti-proton production• Colliders: Probes the interactions between fundamental constituents– Hadron colliders: Wide kinematic ranges and high discovery potential• Proton-anti-proton: TeVatron at Fermilab, Sp⎯pS at CERN• Proton-Proton: Large Hadron Collider at CERN (late 2007)Particle Accelerator TypesMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu5– Lepton colliders: Very narrow kinematic reach, so it is used for precision measurements• Electron-positron: LEP at CERN, Petra at DESY, PEP at SLAC, Tristan at KEK, ILC in the med-range future• Muon-anti-muon: Conceptual accelerator in the far future– Lepton-hadron colliders: HERA at DESY• Probe deep inside the hadrons• How do these do this?• Leptons do not have internal structure but hadrons do..• So whatever comes out of the interactions are due to hadron internal structureParticle Accelerator TypesMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu6Accelerators by Acceleration Techniques• Electrostatic Accelerators– Use potential differences to accelerate particles• Cockcroft-Walton• Van de Graaff• Resonance Accelerators– Accelerate particles using resonance principles where electric energies are at the frequency particles move•Cyclotron• Linear Accelerator• SynchrotronMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu7• Cockcroft-Walton Accelerator– Pass ions through sets of aligned DC electrodes at successively increasing fixed potentials– Consists of ion source (hydrogen gas) and a target with the electrodes arranged in between– Acceleration Procedure• Electrons are either added or striped off of an atom• Ions of charge then get accelerated through series of electrodes, gaining kinetic energy of T=QV through every set of electrodesElectrostatic Accelerators: Cockcroft-Walton• Limited to about 1MeV acceleration due to voltage breakdown and discharge beyond voltage of 1MV.• Available commercially and also used as the first step high current injector (to ~1mA).Monday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu8• Energies of particles through DC accelerators are proportional to the applied voltage• Robert Van de Graaff developed a clever mechanism to increase HV– The charge on any conductor resides on its outermost surface– If a conductor carrying additional charge touches another conductor that surrounds it, all of its charges will transfer tothe outer conductor increasing the charge on the outer conductor, thereby increasing HVElectrostatic Accelerators: Van de GraaffMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu9• Sprayer adds positive charge to the conveyor belt at corona points • Charge is carried on an insulating conveyor belt• The charges get transferred to the dome via the collector• The ions in the source then gets accelerated to about 12MeV• Tandem Van de Graff can accelerate particles up to 25 MeV• This acceleration normally occurs in high pressure gas that has very high breakdown voltage Electrostatic Accelerators: Van de GraaffMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu10• Fixed voltage machines have intrinsic limitations in their energy due to high voltage breakdown• Machines using resonance principles can accelerate particles in higher energies• Cyclotron developed by E. Lawrence is the simplest one• Accelerator consists of– Two hallow D shaped metal chambers connected to alternating HV source– The entire system is placed under strong magnetic fieldResonance Accelerators: CyclotronMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu11• While the D’s are connected to HV sources, there is no electric field inside the chamber due to Faraday effect• Strong electric field exists only in the gap between the D’s• An ion source is placed in the gap• The path is circular due to the perpendicular magnetic field• Ion does not feel any acceleration inside a D but gets bent due to magnetic field• When the particle exits a D, the direction of voltage can be changed and the ion gets accelerated before entering into the D on the other side• If the frequency of the alternating voltage is just right, the charged particle gets accelerated continuously until it is extractedResonance Accelerators: CyclotronMonday, Oct. 30, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu12• For non-relativistic motion, the frequency appropriate for alternating voltage can be calculated from the fact that the magnetic force provides centripetal acceleration for a circular orbit• For a constant angular speed, ω=v/r, the frequency of the motion is• Thus, to continue accelerate the particle, the electric field should alternate at this frequency, cyclotron resonance frequency• The maximum kinetic energy achievable for a cyclotron with radius R is Resonance Accelerators:
