Measurement plan – 1/2

10/01/2013

Stage 1 – after the RFQ 9 parameters : 2 solenoids, RFQ amplitude, 2 quads , 2 steerers

Scan Minimum beam

1) RFQ Transmission Solenoids, RF power Initially I =20 mA (min) Emi= 0.5 (max)

Needs I=70 mAEmi = 0.25 to fully validate.

2) RFQ emittance Solenoids, RF power

3) RFQ energy spread/longitudinal emitt

Solenoids, RF power

NEED TO ACHIEVE TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE RFQ OF 80% TO GO TO THE NEXT STAGE (NOMINAL TRANSMISSION IS 92%)

Stage 2 – after the chopper30 parameters : stage 1 parameters + 11 quads, 3 RF ampli, 3 RF phases, chopper voltage, 2 steerers

Scan Minimum beam At RFQ input

1) Transmission All parameters Initially I =50 mA (min) Emi= 0.4 (max)

Needs I=70 mAEmi = 0.25 to fully validate.

2) CHOPPING Pencil beamAll quads

3) Transverseemittance4) Longitudinal plane Buncher settings

FULL CHARACTERISATION IS NOT POSSIBLE, BUT GIVE PRIORITY TO THE MORES CRITICAL ITEMS

Pencil beam All elements on Chooper on (top) Chopper off (bottom)

With this we validate :1) Chopper voltage2) Optics

we do not validate : 3) Space charge4) Rise/fall time

MOST IMPORTANT MEAS

BEAM AT THE ws JUST BEFORE THE INLINE DUMP

OP DAY - 26th January 2012 Archamps 9

Measurement 2011 – p from DESY

RFQ acceptance vs. Measured emittance Measured after source vs. Measured at the RFQ input plane and backtracked to the source

BCC 41 - 3MeV test stand measurements 10

Protons• Already discussed – EDMS 1096658 • Measurement with Desy source in proton mode (2011)

gave an excellent insight into LEBT dynamics and solenoid modelling

To be done before protons are usable : • optimise to reach a min of 50-60 mA after the first

solenoid, • measure emittance vs. solenoid settings (5-10) and back-

trace to source input : create a beam for simulating/optimising the whole test stand.

Sharing the test stand- proposal(change over takes ½ day to 1 day)

• Run in proton mode until the emittance metre has to be dismantled

• Source development till RFQ ready for beam• Share 2:1 between 3 MeV measurements and

source development, over 3 weeks period or as best convenient.

• DO NOT FORGET COMMISSIONING TIME FOR DIAGNOSTICS

10/01/2013

BCC 41 - 3MeV test stand measurements 12

Proposal - • 3 MeV beam commissioning must be done in 2 sessions/day

on the basis 5 days/week . E.g. 7:00- 14:00 and 14-21

• We (BD team) are 3 staff + 3 visitors

• Daily brief meeting with the people on the field + 1 by-weekly meeting in the control room to take decisions – CALLED BY GB

• Need experts available as much as possible (in 2011 we “took it easy” but it took 6 months to measure the LEBT!)

BCC 41 - 3MeV test stand measurements 13

Something has to give…• Laser stripping measurements ( make sure that BI is made aware)• Halo measurements under different matching• Matching to the DTL • Buncher optimisation • Pencil beam scans • Calibration of TOF vs. spectrometre…….. And many more

10/01/2013

The time presently allocated for commissioning in the tunnel is not sufficient-need 6 months

We should repeat the measurements after the RFQ in the tunnel
