Description
The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator uses charge exchange injection to accumulate a high-intensity proton beam in the Proton Storage Ring (PSR). H- ions are accelerated to 800 MeV and then stripped of their electrons by a thin foil at the ring injection site. The Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) radiation transport code has been used to estimate the effect foil thickness has on the emittance growth of the ion beam. Results for the scattering angle of individual particles and emittance growth of the injected beam are presented for a range of foil thicknesses.
