HB23 - 68th ICFA Advanced Beam Dynamics Workshop on High-Intensity and High-Brightness Hadron Beams

IMPACT (Isotope and Muon Production with Advanced Cyclotron and Target Technologies) is a proposed initia- tive envisaged for the high-intensity proton accelerator fa- cility (HIPA) at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). As part of IMPACT, a radioisotope target station, TATTOOS (Targeted Alpha Tumour Therapy and Other Oncological Solutions) will allow the production of promising radionuclides for di- agnosis and therapy of cancer in doses sufficient for clinical studies. The proposed TATTOOS beamline and target will be located near the UCN (Ultra Cold Neutron source) target area, branching off from the main UCN beamline. In partic- ular, the beamline is intended to operate at a beam intensity of 100 μA (60 kW), requiring a continuous splitting of the main beam via an electrostatic splitter. Realistic beam loss simulations to verify safe operation have been performed and optimised using Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM), a Geant4 based tool enabling the simulation of beam trans- portation through magnets and particle passage through the accelerator. In this study, beam profiles, beam transmission and power deposits are generated and studied. Finally, a quantitative description of the beam halo is introduced.
