Irradiation test of magnetic alloy and organic insulator materials

Objective

In the frame of the GSI-INTAS Project #03-54-3588 "Experimental and Theoretical Study of Energy Deposition and Residual Activation Induced by Uranium Ions to Model the Beam Loss Hazards in the GSI Future Facility" it was shown that one of the most beam loss restrictive requirements comes from the limited lifetime of different construction materials with low radiation hardness. In the frame of the proposed project we are going to test the radiation hardness of a) magnetic alloy materials and b) organic insulating materials. Two kinds of magnetic alloy materials will be under consideration: iron based nano-crystalline and cobalt based amorphous. These materials are foreseen to be used in the high field gradient RF-cavities of the SIS100 synchrotron of future GSI FAIR Facility. For the organic insulator material we are going to use the Kapton for the irradiation test. In the course of the proposed project lifetime we are also going to start working on the other organic insulator materials. The general outline of the proposed project looks like the following: a) to investigate numerically with the aid of the Monte-Carlo transport codes SHIELD and FLUKA the mass and energy spectra of secondary particles generated by beam loss and entering the magnetic alloy materials in the RF-cavities and organic insulator materials in the magnets of the SIS100 synchrotron of FAIR b) to estimate the exposure doses for the entire lifetime of the cavities and magnets (20 years); c) to perform the irradiation test of the alloys and organics based on information obtained in stage a) with the use of ion, proton, neutron and/or gamma-ray beams obtained from either ITEP or GSI synchrotrons (depending on the outcome of the stage a)) d) the final deliverables should include the dependence of the magnetic ribbon and organic insulator characteristics on the accumulated dose of particles with certain mass and energy spectra (obtained in the stage a) or close to it). The obtained data will give important information not only for the FAIR project but also for other high-intensity heavy-ion projects like LHC, JPARC, RIA and others.
