Description
Dipole-magnets in linear accelerators or synchrotrons are used to bend ion beams. In case of
intense ion beams, space charge compensation is a strategy to overcome intensity limits. So far
the reduction of the beams space charge is not investigated in bending magnets by experiments.
Therefore, a Gabor-lens was constructed and immersed in a H-type bending magnet to provide
a pure electron plasma. Usually, Gabor-lenses are ion optical devices used for focusing and
deflecting ion beams. With the setup presented in this paper it will be possible to compare the
bending of intense ion beams with and without space charge compensation. Furthermore, the
impact of spontaneous built-up of electron clouds observed in synchrotrons can be studied.
First experimental results compared with numerical simulations regarding the confinement of
electron plasmas within the dipole-Gabor-lens system will be presented. First beam dynamic
simulations will show the impact of space charge compensation within bending magnets.
