  We use a pepperpot emittance meter to determine the full transverse trace-space distribution of low-energy ion beams. One of the problems encountered with our emittance meter is that the correlation between the measured ion images and the holes in the pepperplate is somewhat ambiguous caused by the convoluted character of the trace-space distribution. In this paper we describe a method to solve this problem and illustrate it with measurements of the 4d transverse trace-space distribution behind the analyzing magnet of a 21 keV He1+ beam extracted from the KVI-AECR ion source. From these measurements together with ion-transport simulations we conclude that second-order aberrations in the analyzing magnet cause a significant increase in the effective beam emittance.

  Losses in the low-energy beam transport line from KVI-AECRIS to AGOR cyclotron are estimated to be around 50%. Numerical simulations of the beam transport were performed using the tracing code LORENTZ-3D. It was found that most of the losses are due to second order optical aberrations in the 110-degree analyzing magnet. These aberrations result in an increase of the effective emittance in both horizontal and vertical directions. We will show that by suitably modifying the magnet pole surfaces the second-order aberrations can be compensated to a large extent resulting in a substantially lower effective emittance of the transported beam.
