LEBT – Plans for the near FutureWork already performed :

• Rough calculation of beam transport for different lens optionsbased on available source emittances=> 3 solenoid option choosen

• Detailed calculation of beam transport for 3 solenoid option based on available source emittances.=> Results are quite sensitive to initial emittance and degree of SCC

• Detailed analysis of input emittance given by simulation of beam extraction and from emittance measurements (x,x’ and y,y’).=> further information required – design & construction of a pepperpot emittance measurement device started.

This year to do :• Determination of source emittance using pepperpot method, transversal

density distribution of the ions and the degree of space charge compensation

• Finalisation of particle dynamics calculation for the LEBT• Final design of magnetic fields of the lenses• Start of the mechanical Design of lenses and the LEBT

Imperial CollegeDiagnostics - 1

What do we need to know ?

• Beam current - I(t)at the exit of : Ion source, LEBT, RFQ and Chopper (MEBT)=> use of current transformers (conventional, non destructive)

• Degree of space charge compensation – k/uk

at the exit of : Ion source, LEBT=> use of residual gas ion spectroscopy (non destructive)

=> design of spectrometer started, grant application written

• Transversal beam density profile & Halo – (x,y,t)at the exit of : Ion source, LEBT, RFQ and Chopper (MEBT)=> use of flying wires (conventional, destructive)

=> use of laser detachment – “Lasertomography” (non destructive, design phase started, grant application required)

• What do we need to know ?Transversal beam emittance – (x,x’,y,y’,t)at the exit of : Ion source, LEBT, RFQ and Chopper (MEBT)=> use of Allison scanner (destructive, available)

=> use of pepperpot (destructive, under construction)=> use of laser detachment (non destructive, design phase)

• Longitudinal beam emittance – energy spread – (z,z’,t)at the exit of : RFQ and Chopper (MEBT)=> use of magnetic spectrometer (destructive, “available”)

=> use of laser detachment TOF (non destructive, design phase)

To intensify the work on the beam diagnostics in the near future, D. Lee (Ph. D student, Imperial) has joined the team and will work on Laser tomography and it is planned that C. Gabor (Ph.D on beam diagnostics using laser neutralisation at Frankfurt University) will join in spring and work mainly on the laser based emittance scanner.
