TUP033 | Commissioning of the IH Linac and High Energy Beam Transport of the EBIS Based Preinjector for RHIC | 470 |
|
||
The EBIS based preinjector for RHIC is now being commissioned. The Linac was delivered in April 2010 and commissioning started in May, 2010. It accelerates ions from 0.3 MeV/u to 2 MeV/u with 27 accelerating gaps, one internal quadrupole triplet, and operates at 100.625 MHz. The Linac is followed by a beam transport line to Booster which includes seven quadrupoles, two bunchers, and an achromatic bend system with resolution of 500 at 2 MeV/u to select the required charge state. Diagnostics include a pepperpot emittance probe, phase probes , fast Faraday cup, adjustable slits, three sets of multiwire profile monitors, three current transformers, two Faraday cups, and two beam stops. This contribution will report results of linac tuning and cold measurements, and commissioning of the Linac and high energy transport line with helium and gold beams. |
