Abstract

The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is a low-energy scaled facility for the study of intense beam dynamics, relevant to higher energy, high intensity accelerators. Many parameters crucial to understanding highcurrent beam evolution, such as transverse emittance and longitudinal temperature, lend themselves to the use of interceptive diagnostics. We present plans to build a UMER extraction section, in order to enable turn-by-turn interceptive measurements. This paper presents a suite of simulations used to guide the design process and predict extraction performance, utilizing the WARP Particle-in-cell (PIC) code. After isolating a design based on centroid tracking, extraction acceptance is probed. Remaining questions include estimating the error tolerances of themodified ring and refining an enlarged dipole magnet design.
