| TUPD42 | Design of a New Emittance Meter for LINAC4 | 396 |
|
||
Linac4 is the first step of the future LHC injectors chain. This LINAC will accelerate H- ions from 45 keV to 160 MeV. During the commissioning phase of LINAC4, emittance measurements will be required at 45 keV, 3 MeV and 12 MeV. For this purpose a slit&grid system is currently being developed. The material and geometry of the wires and of the slits need to be optimized in order to reduce the effects of the energy deposition and maximize the signals: carbon, titanium steel and tungsten have been considered and studied. This document describes the results of the studies carried out during the design of the emittance meter and the first results during the commissioning. |
