Abstract
The accelerator-driven neutron source FRANZ (Frankfurter Neutronenquelle am Stern-Gerlach-Zentrum) [1, 2] has two successive Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) sections, which are separated by a chopper system [3]. Each LEBT section consists of two solenoids. The first section, which starts after the ion source, will match the beam into the chopper system. Downstream from the chopper system the second section will match the beam into the following Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). Particle simulations with varying parameter sets have been performed to determine the regions of best transmission and beam quality. Special focus has been set on the fact, that the high intense ion beam might deposit high amounts of energy. Beam losses have to be avoided if possible because they can cause heavy damage on structures.
