Content • Layout of HINS proton source/LEBT • Beam profile measurement using wire scanner • Steering capability of the trim dipole magnets • Beam rotation by focusing solenoid
Pictures of LEBT and Wire Scanner Proton Source Wire Scanner Solenoid
Layout of LEBT UH, UV DH, DV US DS Wire Scanner Proton 17 cm 17 cm 52 cm 22.4 cm Beam Energy = 48 keV Beam Current = 8 mA
A Typical Wire Scan A Typical Fit Expression used for fitting: where Proton Other species Other species fill out the whole beam pipe. For a typical fit, standard deviation for s1 is about 2%. Beam Pipe
Horizontal Beam Width The strength of the upstream solenoid has little effect on beam size. The size of the beam waist is measured to be ~0.7 mm.
Vertical Beam Width The strength of the upstream solenoid has little effect on beam size. The size of the beam waist is measured to be ~0.6 mm.
Asymmetric Beam The beam is asymmetric. Beam asymmetry can be due to misalignment in beamline and/or possibly from the proton source itself.
Comparison to TRACK Simulation US = 380 Amps Wire Scanner Current = 8 mA Energy = 50 keV Input Beam for TRACK: ε(n,rms) = 0.233 πmm-mrad α = -1.82 β = 0.331 mm/mrad
Trim Dipole Steering 55o 18 mm 18 mm Trim dipoles at 100 Gauss. Steering effect is rotated by the downstream solenoid. West All possible combinations of trim setting fall inside the diamond. Up East Down
Beam Rotation by Solenoid Leff Paper by K.T. McDonald Center of Solenoid Azimuthal Kick Azimuthal Kick Helical Path Solenoid Azimuthal Kick Uniform Field Angle of rotation thru solenoid
Beam Rotation by Solenoid Exact location of beam needed to be analyzed. Rotation of beam as a function of solenoid field matches well with calculations. DS = 450 to 570 Amps
Conclusion • Beam waist at wire scanner srms ~ 0.7 mm • Beam is asymmetric. It can possibly be due to misalignment. • Trim dipoles steer beam +/- 9 mm both planes. • Beam rotation due to solenoid agrees with model. Model can possibly be used to determine solenoid misalignment.
