J. Beebewang et al., ION-BEAM CRYSTALLIZATION IN CRYRING-MSI HEAVY-ION STORAGE-RING, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 79(1-4), 1993, pp. 806-810
The investigation on ion beam crystallization in a realistic heavy ion
storage ring, the CRYRING at MSI, was carried out by means of molecul
ar dynamics simulations. All the quadruple and dipole magnetic fields
were included. The CRYRING lattice design parameters such as tunes and
emittances were reproduced correctly in the simulation. It was found
that, at the normal working point of CRYRING, 1D ordered chains can be
formed in systems of about 10(5) ions at low temperatures and 3D crys
talline structures can be obtained in systems of about 10(7) ions at l
ow temperatures accompanied by continuously cooling. In this paper, we
concentrate on formation and detection of ID ordering in Li-7+ and Ar
-40(18+) ion beams in CRYRING.
