TUP034 | Beam Commissioning Results for the RFQ and MEBT of the EBIS Based Preinjector for RHIC | 473 |

The EBIS based preinjector for the RHIC is now being commissioned. During the step-wise commissioning of the preinjector from January 2009 to June 2010, the RFQ was commissioned first using Test EBIS in January 2009 and then moved to its final location and commissioned again with RHIC EBIS in March 2010. The RFQ accelerates ions from 17 keV/u to 300 keV/u and operates at 100.625 MHz. The RFQ is followed by a short (81 cm) Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT), which consists of four quadrupoles and one buncher cavity. Temporary diagnostics for this commissioning included an emittance probe, TOF system, fast Faraday cup, and beam current measurement units. This contribution will report results of RFQ and MEBT commissioning with helium and gold beams. |
