TUPOJO13 | Wire Scanner Systems at the European Spallation Source (ESS): Tests and First Beam Commissioning Results | 372 |
|
||
The ESS beam instrumentation includes 3 different type of Wire Scanners (WS). Double wires systems are deployed in the MEBT part of NCL, and single wires and flying wire instruments are being tested and installed in the higher energy sections of the ESS linac. First beam tests result from the MEBT systems will be presented. The superconducting linac WS systems are based on scintillator detectors and wavelength shifting fibers are mounted on the beam pipe. The detectors are coupled to long haul optical fibers, which carry the signals to custom front end electronics sitting in controls racks at the surface. The acquisition chain have been characterized at IHEP (Protvino, Russia), ELETTRA (Trieste, Italy), CERN PSB, CoSy (IKP, Germany) and SNS (USA) before installation in the ESS tunnel. The test results of this system design, differing from the standard approach where photomultipliers are coupled to the scintillator will be presented. | ||

MO1PA02 | Beam Commissioning of Normal Conducting Part and Status of ESS Project | 18 |
|
||
The European Spallation Source, currently under construction in Lund Sweden, will be a spallation neutron source driven by a superconducting proton linac with a design power of 5 MW. The linac features a high peak current of 62.5 mA and long pulse length of 2.86 ms with a repetition rate of 14 Hz. The normal conducting part of the linac has been undergoing beam commissioning in multiple steps, and the main focus of the beam commissioning has been on bringing systems into operation, including auxiliary ones. In 2022, beam was transported to the end of the first tank of the five-tank drift tube linac. This paper provides a summary of the beam commissioning activities at ESS and the current status of the linac. | ||

TUPOJO02 | Multi-Harmonic Buncher (MHB) Studies for Protons and Ions in ESS-Bilbao | 334 |
|
||
Multi-harmonic buncher cavities (MHB) are used in ion linacs to increase the bunch separation so the beam can be injected in rings or used in applications like time-of-flight experiments. The ideal saw-tooth electric field profile of the buncher is achieved in practice by adding several components of its Fourier expansion (multi-harmonics). ESS-Bilbao will develop* a MHB intended to be tested in the CERN-ISOLDE facility. The design and prototyping include the buncher device itself as well as the solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) to power it. The buncher design (finite elements and beam dynamics) has been carried out to optimize it for ISOLDE beams and frequencies of 1/10th of the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) frequency. The testing of the cavity at ESS-Bilbao proton beam injector (before the RFQ) has also been studied.

TUPOJO06 | Design and Test of Beam Diagnostics Equipment for the FAIR Proton Linac | 348 |
|
||
A dedicated proton injector Linac (pLinac) for the Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI, Darmstadt, is currently under construction. It will pro-vide a 68 MeV, up to 70 mA proton beam at a duty cycle of max. 35µs / 4 Hz for the SIS18 synchrotron, using the UNILAC transfer beamline. After further acceleration in SIS100, the protons are mainly used for antiproton production at the Antiproton Annihilation Darmstadt (PANDA) experiment. The Linac will operate at 325 MHz and consists of a novel so called ’Ladder’ RFQ type, followed by a chain of CH-cavities, partially coupled by rf-coupling cells. In this paper we present the beam diagnostics system for the pLinac with special emphasis on the Secondary Electron Emission (SEM) Grids and the Beam Position Monitor (BPM) system. We also describe design and status of our diagnostics testbench for stepwise Linac commissioning, which includes an energy spectrometer with associated optical system. The BPMs and SEM grids have been tested with proton and argon beam during several beamtimes in 2022. The results of these experiments are presented. | ||

TUPOJO10 | Hardware Commissioning With Beam at the European Spallation Source: Ion Source to DTL1 | 360 |
TUOPA01 | use link to see paper's listing under its alternate paper code | |
|
||
The European Spallation Source (ESS) aims to build and commission a 2 MW proton linac ready for neutron production in 2025. The normal conducting section of the ESS linac is designed to accelerate a 62.5 mA proton beam to 90 MeV at 14 Hz. The section consists of a microwave ion source, Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and 5-tank Drift Tube Linac (DTL). All sections are provided to ESS by in-kind partners across Europe. This paper reports the recent progress on the assembly, installation, testing and commissioning of the ESS normal conducting linac. | ||

TUPOJO12 | Development of Emittance Meter Instrument for MYRRHA | 368 |
|
||
For the commissioning of the Myrrha proton Linac an Emittance Meter Instrument (EMI) has been foreseen. The EMI will be installed in a dedicated test bench for linac commissioning. The test bench will be initially placed after the RFQ with energies of 1.5 MeV, and in later stages moved to other sections of the Normal Con-ducting Linac for operation at 6 and 17 MeV. The Myrrha EMI will be composed by two slit and grid subsystems for measurement of the phase space in the horizontal and vertical directions. For collimating the beam, graphite slits are used, and the beam aperture is measured in the SEM grids placed downstream. Then, the control system performs signal amplification, data acquisition, and motion control, with the different sys-tems integrated in an EPICs IOC. The system, manufactured by ESS-Bilbao and Proac-tive R&D, has been tested on the ESS-Bilbao 45 keV and soon will be integrated in Myrrha facilities. We present the EMI design, with irradiation analysis and emittance reconstruction, and the integration tests results. | ||

TUPOJO14 | Status of Testing and Commissioning of the Medium Energy Beam Transport Line of the ESS Normal Conducting Linac | 376 |
|
||
The latest beam commissioning phase of the Normal Conducting Linac at ESS delivered a proton beam through the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) into the first Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tank. The probe beam in MEBT consisted of 3.6 MeV protons of <6 mA, <5 microseconds pulse length and 1 Hz repetition rate. Following the delivery of the components at ESS in Lund in June 2019, the commissioning phase with the MEBT was completed in July 2022. In March 2022, the maximum beam current of 62.5 mA was transported up to the MEBT Faraday cup. This proceeding focuses on the status of MEBT including magnets, buncher cavities, scrapers and beam diagnostics designed and tested in collaboration with ESS Bilbao. | ||

TUPOPA03 | Status and RF Devopments of ESS Bilbao RFQ | 410 |
|
||
Within the framework of the plans for study of a light-ion linear accelerator, ESS Bilbao is manufacturing a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) aimed at accelerating up to 3 MeV the protons generated in the ion source. The progress made and the difficulties encountered with the RFQ are discussed in this paper. A power coupler proto-type for the RFQ has been developed while several me-chanical constraints were also studied in the final cou-pler. This prototype operates at a lower power, then it can work using PEEK window for the vacuum interface and it does not require neither brazing nor cooling system. Also, a complete RF test stand is being implemented to perform the high-power conditioning in traveling and standing wave mode, to verify the power handling capa-bility of the coupler and its thermal behaviour. The RF test stand, based on EPICS environment, can provide up to 2 MW peak power at 352.2 MHz in a pulse operation of 14 Hz and a duty cycle of 4.9%. | ||
