FETS Layout • FETS main components: • High brightness H- ion source. • Magnetic Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT). • High current, high duty factor Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). • Very high speed beam chopper. • Comprehensive diagnostics. Ajit Kurup
H- Ion Beam Extract Electrode Aperture Plate Penning Pole Pieces Discharge Region Anode Ceramic Source Body Copper Spacer Cathode Mica Mounting Flange 10mm Ion Source Development Goals • Increase Pulse Length 200µs to 1.5ms • Increase Output Current 35mA to 70mA • Reduce Emittance • Maximise Lifetime 78 mA H- current 500 µs extract pulse 50 Hz repetition rate Ajit Kurup
Laser Diagnostic Non-destructive emittance and profile measurement device Scan the laser across the beam in x and y direction to get transverse profile. Ajit Kurup

Phosphor screen Copper block Fast CCD Camera H- Ion Beam Tungsten screen H- Beamlets Pepperpot Diagnostic • Current Allison-type scanners give high resolution emittance measurements, but at fixed z-position and too far from ion source. • X and Y emittance also uncorrelated, with no idea of X & Y profile. • Correlated, 4-D profile (x, y, x’, y’) required for accurate simulations. • Pepperpot reduces resolution to make correlated 4-D measurement. • Moving stage allows measurement at different z-locations: space charge information.

BOTTOM TOP MK I Problems P43 • Screen too small: only see full beam at small z-postion. • Poor quality holes in tungsten (size, shape, spacing). • Destructive testing of scintillators → • Fast (down to 500ns exposure). • High light output. • Survives beam (<1 micron stopping distance). • Poor mechanical stability. • Mounted at an angle… Al coating profile with quartz and no pepperpot plastic scintillator ruby and Al plate Ajit Kurup
MK II Pepperpot Design • Better support structure. • Cooling for pepperpot head. • Second mount for profile measurements. • Improved DAQ and data analysis. • Fast camera. • Larger screen: 41x41 holes, 120mm x 120mm, 50 micron holes. • Switch to pure and Ce-doped quartz: • Pure survives beam, but slow. • Cerium-doped quartz is fast, high light output, but survival time unknown.

RFQ • 60mA H- beam • Accelerate from 65keV to 3MeV. • Input emittance is 0.25 mm mrad • Transmission efficiency is ~95%. • Initial design done by Alan Letchford. • Consider both 4 rod and 4 vane designs and build cold models. • A few pros and cons: Ajit Kurup
