The RAL Front End Test Stand (FETS) is being constructed to demonstrate a chopped H- beam of up to 60 mA at 3 MeV with 50 pps and sufficiently high beam quality for future high-power proton accelerators (HPPA). High power proton accelerators with beam powers in the several megawatt range have many applications including drivers for spallation neutron sources, neutrino factories, waste transmuters and tritium production facilities. The aim of the FETS project is to demonstrate that chopped low energy beams of high quality can be produced and is intended to allow generic experiments exploring a variety of operational conditions. This paper details the first results from the initial operation of the ion source.

The RAL Front End Test Stand (FETS) is being constructed to demonstrate a chopped H− beam of up to 60 mA at 3 MeV with 50 pps and sufficiently high beam quality for future high-power proton accelerators (HPPA). This paper details the mechanical engineering components manufactured so far and the challenges which need to be meet in the near future.

The RAL Front End Test Stand is being constructed to demonstrate production of a high-quality, chopped 60 mA H- beam at 3 MeV and 50 pps. In parallel to the accelerator development, non-destructive laser-based beam diagnostics are being designed. This paper reports on the realisation of a laser-based profile instrument that will be able to reconstruct the complete 2D transverse beam density distribution by scanning a laser beam through the ion beam at a variety of angles and then computationally combining the results. Commissioning results are presented alongside plans for future developments.
