Description
Xi'an Proton Application Facility (XiPAF) synchrotron provides 10~200MeV proton beam for the experimental simulation of the space radiation environment. Due to the space charge effect, the slow extraction of 10 MeV proton beam is a work full of challenges. In a past experiment, the total extraction efficiency was over 65% with 4.5 ~ 6.5×1010 protons stored before extraction but decreased to 52% with 9×1010 protons stored. In order to study the beam loss caused by a strong space charge effect, based on experimental parameters, the beam loss fractions at different positions of XiPAF synchrotron are obtained through the simulation. According to the beam loss analysis, optimized parameters are found for reference in subsequent experiments. It is also noted that negative beam average momentum spread before extraction is beneficial to the improvement of extraction efficiency
