Abstract

The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) ion source and low energy beam transport (LEBT) system will provide a matched 35 kV, 30 mAH − beam with normalized rms emittance of less than 0.2 π mm mrad into the SSC radio frequency quadropole (RFQ). The ion source candidates are rf-driven volume source and magnetron source. Electrostatic LEBTs, more specifically HESQ and einzel lens, are the candidate LEBTs for SSC. An extensive experimental program is under way to characterize the SSC ion sources and LEBT concepts to identify the best ion source and LEBT configuration for SSC. The available experimental results pertinent to the performance of the SSC ion sources and LEBTs will be discussed.
