  Future large-scale facilities for research are very much under discussion in Europe. This results, of course, on the one hand from the discussions in the science communities and their identification of new frontiers in research; but it also reflects to a certain degree the trend to pool resources among the countries towards what has been labeled the “European Research Area”. In the field of nuclear physics and/or its intersections with particle physics, several such efforts have been under consideration or are underway. This applies to the study of the subnuclear degrees of freedom of the strong interaction system(s) as well as to the extremes of the atomic nucleus as the many-body system of the strong force. In this talk an attempt is made to summarize the present status and future plans, with emphasis on the facility concepts and their demands on accelerator technology and development  
 
PM13 The PS Booster Fast Wire Scanner emittance, instrumentation 122

  The very tight emittance budget for LHC type beams makes precise emittance measurements in the injector complex a necessity. The PS machine uses 2 fast wire scanners per transverse plane for emittance measurement of the circulating beams. In order to ease comparison the same type of wire scanners have been newly installed in the upstream machine, the PS Booster, where each of the 4 rings is equipped with 2 wire scanners measuring the horizontal and vertical profiles. Those wire scanners use new and more modern control and readout electronics featuring dedicated intelligent motor movement controllers, which relieves the very stringent real time constraints due to the very high speed of 20 m/s. In order to be able to measure primary beams at the very low injection energy of the Booster (50 MeV) secondary emission currents from the wire can be measured as well as secondary particle flows at higher primary particle energies during and after acceleration. The solution adopted for the control of the devices is described as well as preliminary results obtained during measurements made in 2002.

  Modern ion accelerators and storage rings require very fast beam profile measurements (turn-by-turn) with highest resolutions. We propose a new residual gas monitor, which will operate on secondary electrons whose trajectories are localized within ∅ 0.1 mm filaments along 0.1 T uniform magnetic field lines excited by a permanent magnet. The best way to adopt the resolution of 0.1 mm into the data acquisition system is the use of a CCD camera with upstream MCP-phosphor screen assembly. To realize a fast turn-by-turn beam profile measurement a photodiode readout by a 100-channel amplifier/digitizer is foreseen.

  The new test-bench for heavy ion sources has been created in ITEP. It is planned to equip test-bench with a set of measurement devices to cover wide range of beam widths, divergences, durations, currents etc. It will provide measurements of different heavy ion beams parameters, particularly, emittance and charge state distribution. The last parameter may be measured both by the time-of-flight method and with the magnet analyzer. Two emittance measurement devices will be installed. It will be possible to use both slit/grid and CCD based "pepperpot" methods, which will give advantages of combination of classical emittance measurements with performance of the CCD based devices. The detailed description of test-bench and its equipment is presented. The first results at MEVVA ion source and beam investigations are discussed.

  With the new High Current Injector (HSI) of the GSI UNILAC the beam pulse intensity had been increased by approximately two orders of magnitudes. The HSI was mounted and commissioned in 1999; since this time the UNILAC serves as an injector for the synchrotron SIS, especially for high uranium intensities. Considering the high beam power of up to 1250 kW and the short stopping range for the UNILAC beam energies (≤12 MeV/u), accelerator components could be destroyed, even during a single beam pulse. All diagnostic elements had to be replaced preferably by non-destructive devices. The beam current is mainly measured by beam transformers instead of Faraday cups, beam positions are measured with segmented capacitive pick-ups and secondary beam monitors instead of profile harps. The 24 installed pick-ups are also used to measure intensities, widths and phase of the bunches, as well beam energies by evaluating pick-ups at different positions. The residual gas ionization monitors allow on-line measurements of beam profiles. The knowledge of the real phase space distribution at certain position along the linac is necessary for optimizing the machine tuning, for the improvement of the matching to the synchrotron and for a better understanding of beam dynamic issues under space charge conditions. The paper will report the application of different beam diagnostic devices for the measurement of transverse beam emittances at different UNILAC beam energies and for different beam intensities. Additionally, measurements of the bunch structure after the HSI and a the design of a new device for the measurement of the longitudinal emittance at the end of the UNILAC will be included.
