Abstract

A compact, remote controlled, cost efficient diagnostic station has been developed to measure the charge, the profile and the emittance for low energy proton beams. It has been installed and tested in the proton beam line of the Project Prometheus at SANAEM of the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority.

Highlights

  • Current experiments with ever increasing beam intensities are pushing proton accelerators to higher beam powers

  • A large number of upgrades or new high power accelerators are on the horizon. These modern proton beam lines start with an ion source followed by a low beta accelerator cavity, generally a radio frequency quadrupole

  • A simple, compact and efficient diagnostic station to measure these quantities, is a requirement for all low energy beamlines. We have developed such a compact, remote controlled, cost efficient diagnostic station to this end

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Current experiments with ever increasing beam intensities are pushing proton accelerators to higher beam powers. A large number of upgrades or new high power accelerators are on the horizon. These modern proton beam lines start with an ion source followed by a low beta accelerator cavity, generally a radio frequency quadrupole. A simple, compact and efficient diagnostic station to measure these quantities, is a requirement for all low energy beamlines. The remainder of the manuscript explains the requirements, the design and the tests of this compact measurement station. It has been installed in the proton beam line of the SANAEM Project Prometheus (SPP) at the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEK)’s Saraykoy Nuclear Research and Training Center (SANAEM) [1]
