Abstract :
The Small Isochronous Ring (SIR) is under development at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU). The ring is a small-scale experiment that simulates the dynamics of intense beams in large-scale accelerators. Its main purpose is the study of longitudinal space charge effects in the isochronous regime. A 20 to 30 keV bunch of hydrogen or deuterium ions is injected in the ring. After a variable number of turns (∼20-30), the bunch is extracted and its longitudinal profile is studied. This paper describes the hardware already designed, manufactured and installed as well as the first preliminary experimental results.
