Ion source development Extensive experimental program underway on the IS rig. Main goal is the reduction of the source emittance by roughly a factor of 3. 57 mm

LEBT Universidad del Pais Vasco joined the collaboration => responsible for LEBT (in cooperation with Warwick) & beam dump 3D model of B-fields incorporated into simulations => slight increase in field strength required. Initial beam distribution based on pepper-pot data rms norm ~ 0.9 mm mrad 1% beam loss At end of LEBT
RFQ cold model The 4 quadrants of the 4 vane RFQ cold model (l=0.5 m) are machined. The quality of the quadrants will be controlled by using a CMM and beat pull measurements will be performed before and after brazing.
First RF measurements on the unbrazed RFQ cold model First tests of the cold model using new couplers showed a resonant frequency of ~ 323 MHz A very good field flatness has been measured using the beat pull method
MEBT and Chopper • MEBT & Chopper: • Transition from particle trajectory design to real design • Incorporation of pumping ports etc. into design and reoptimisation of beam dynamics • Hybrid quadrupoles: • The printed circuit electromagnet: A company near Newbury specialised in printed circuit boards manufacturing. In progress. • Daresbury Magnet Testing Group agreed to measure the PMQ in the next month. (Point by point measurement with a Hall probe). • Particle dynamics: • Comparison between CERN and RAL design (IS to end of DTL) showed slightly better results for RAL solution - simulations with higher current are planned. • Code benchmarking in progress
MEBT & Chopper – code benchmarking Lattice: FETS Scheme A Codes: TraceWin/Partran, Trace3D, GPT TraceWin/Partran GPT
Copper block Scintillator screen Fast CCD Camera H- Ion Beam H- Beamlets Tungsten screen Pepper pot emittance measuring device The grid head is mounted to the cooled rod. The linear shift mechanism mounted to the main flange. Cooled feed through rod. Close up of the assembled grid head showing the quartz plate. A pepper pot device mounted on a linear stage for correlated measurements of the transversal phase space along beam propagation will be available soon. Adjustable camera mount.
