Activities at the Test Stand in 2010Source Operation Impossible to operate the ion source with H- at 45 kV extraction voltage Characterize the source for p extraction at 45 kV to allow RFQ and partial MEBT commissioning
Activities at the Test Stand in 2010Source Results with protons • The energy spread of the beam is not larger than 400 eV (50 eV per mm) => ± 200 eV => ± 0.4 % Slit 1 mm Sol 600 A Pictures from O. Midttun’s presentation
Activities at the Test Stand in 2010MEBT line completed With 3rdbuncher cavity
Activities at the Test Stand in 2010RF installation progress 2nd buncher amplifier installed
Activities at the Test Stand in 2010PIMS prototype tested Table courtesy of R. Wegner Nominal gradient of 4 MV/m reached with 700 kW
Activities related to the Test Stand in 2010Movable Test Bench Design of Test Bench completed; Design of all components completed; Fabrication started for all components; Start of assembly in May.
Activities related to the Test Stand in 2010Movable Test Bench • Characterize the beam properties at 3 MeV: • At the RFQ exit in the Linac4 Test Stand (late 2011 and beginning of 2012) • At the chopper line output in the Linac4 Test Stand (during 2012) • At the chopper line output in the Linac4 Tunnel (early 2013) • Characterize the beam properties at 12 MeV: • At the DTL tank1 output in the Linac4 Tunnel (first half 2013) From: G. Bellodi - User Specification for Linac4 Test Bench Diagnostics
