  The method of measuring the incoherent synchrotron frequencies in a stationary bunch is presented. It can be shown that by measuring the local current at a fixed coordinate in RF bucket the corresponding incoherent synchrotron frequency can be obtained. Test calculations were done using simulation data where longitudinal space charge effects were included. The incoherent frequencies obtained with method are in a good agreement with theory. In real experiment, the incoherent frequencies were determined from bunch profiles recorded in the SIS18 with low intensity beam at injection energy. Bunch profiles were measured with a new Fast Current Transformer which has a relatively broad frequency range. The profiles were recorded using 8 bit resolution oscilloscope. The frequency spectra of local current fluctuation at different longitudinal positions were obtained numerically. The strongest lines in these spectra were at positions of theoretically expected incoherent frequencies. In this paper the method is described in details, the comparison of incoherent frequencies obtained from the simulation and measurement data with theoretical solutions is shown.

  Photo detachment is a possibility to diagnose non-destructively H ion beams. For emittance measurements, the produced neutrals are more suitable then the photo-detached electrons. Such a Photo-Detachment Emittance Measurement Instrument (PD-EMI) is planned for the Front End Test Stand (FETS) at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL/ UK). FETS comprises a Penning ion source of 60 mA beam current with up to 2 ms pulse length at 50pps, a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a four-vane RFQ with 3 MeV and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) with a chopper system. The PD-EMI will be integrated at the end of the MEBT to commission the RFQ which is currently under construction. The introduction gives an overview some results reached so far and explains the conceptual design. Beam simulations show how to implement this to the MEBT being under construction. The remaining paper concentrates then on the hardware which is the dipole magnet, the laser and optics. The design and and engineering of the magnet chamber needs special attention to both satisfy beam transportation and diagnostics purpose. First measurements about the laser and its parameters will be presented.  
 
TUO1B02 Injection Design for Fermilab Project X injection, booster, linac, proton 259

  Fermilab is proposing a staged approach for Project X, a high power proton accelerator system. The first stage of this project will be to construct a 1 GeV CW H superconducting linear accelerator to inject into the existing 8 GeV Booster synchrotron ultimately providing in excess of 1 MW beam power for the Neutrino program out of the Main Injector. We will discuss the current project plans for injection into the Booster and related issues.

  The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is home to ISIS, the world's most productive spallation neutron source. ISIS has two neutron producing target stations (TS-1 and TS-2), operated at 40 Hz and 10 Hz respectively with a 50 Hz, 800 MeV proton beam from a rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS), which is fed by a 70 MeV H− drift tube linac. The multi-turn charge-exchange injection process used on ISIS has been the subject of a programme of detailed studies in recent years including benchmarked simulations and experiments. More recently, these studies have been expanded as plans for upgrading ISIS have focussed on replacement of the 70 MeV linac with a new, higher energy injector and a new synchrotron injection straight. Whilst much of these studies have been reported elsewhere, this paper presents a summary of the programme with some further details.

THO3B01 Proton Beam Inter-Bunch Extinction and Extinction Monitoring for the Mu2e Experiment proton, target, simulation, collimation 532

The goal of the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will be the search for the conversion of a muon into an electron in the field of a nucleus, with a precision roughly four orders of magnitude better than the current limit. The experiment requires a beam consisting of short (~200 ns FW) bunches of protons are separated by roughly 1.5 microseconds. Because the most significant backgrounds are prompt with respect to the arrival of the protons, out of time beam must be suppressed at a level of at least 10-10 relative to in time beam. The removal of out of time beam is known as "extinction". This talk will discuss the likely sources of out of time beam and the steps we plan to take to remove it. In addition, the plan for monitoring the extinction level will be presented.
