    摘要: Abstract Main quadrupole magnets are critical for the Circular Electron and Positron Collider (CEPC), and are specifically designed as dual aperture quadrupole (DAQ) magnets. However, the field crosstalk between the two apertures presents challenges. As the CEPC will work at four beam energies of Z, W, Higgs and ttbar mode, the DAQ magnets will operate at four field gradients spanning from 3.18 to 12.63 T/m. The first short quadrupole magnet prototype with the bore diameter of 76 mm and magnetic length of 1.0 m revealed the problems of large magnetic field harmonics and a magnetic center shift within the beam energy range. Accordingly, a compensation method was proposed in this work to solve the field crosstalk effect. By adjusting the gap height at the middle of the two apertures, the field harmonics and magnetic center shift are significantly reduced. After optimization, the short prototype was modified using a new scheme. The field simulations are validated from the magnetic measurement results. Further, the multipole field meets the requirements at the four beam energies. The detailed magnetic field optimization, field harmonics adjustment, and measurement results are presented herein.

    摘要: In certain exceptional cases, capillary samples must be used to measure X-ray absorption spectra (XAS). However, the inhomogeneous thickness of capillary samples causes XAS distortion. This study discusses the distortion and correction of the XAS curve caused by the inhomogeneous thickness of capillary samples. The relationship between the distorted XAS curve mdeq (measured values) and the real absorption coefficient msdeq (true values) of the sample was established. The distortion was slight and negligible when the vertical size (2h) of the X-ray beam spot was smaller than 60% of the capillary tubes inner diameter (2Rin). When h/Rin >1, X-ray leakage is inevitable and should be avoided during measurement. Partial X-ray leakage caused by an X-ray beam spot size larger than the inner diameter of the capillary tube leads to serious compressed distortion of the XAS curve. When h/Rin <1, the distorted XAS data were well corrected. Possible errors and their influence on the corrected XAS are also discussed. Simulations and corrections for distortions verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the corrected method.
