THE INFLUENCE OF THE UNCLOSED SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETIC SHIELD ON THE DYNAMICS OF THE CHARGED PARTICLES BEAM

*e-mail: dorofeevgl@mail.ru Abstract The development of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials, especially HTS tapes of the second generation (2G HTS tapes) give us new opportunities to use superconductivity in high-energy physics devices and, in particular, in charged particle accelerators. The influence of the unclosed magnetic shield made of 2G HTS tape on the dynamics of a charged particles beam is studied in this paper. Within the framework of the simplest model of the interaction of the magnetic field of a charged particles beam with a superconducting shield, estimates of this influence are made. The superconducting shield shifts of a charged particles beam to its axis. In particular, the beam of ions 197Au79+ energy of 4 GeV per nucleon and a current of 5 A passing at a distance of 5 10 mm from the axis of the superconducting screen with a radius of 50 mm and a length of 5 meter is shifted to the axis of the screen at a speed of about 130 m/sec. That is, the beam itself can be centered for a lot less than 1 second. The possibilities of using an unclosed superconducting shield to compress a charged particles beam are discussed, as well as the possibilities of controlling the shield.
