  Solenoids have important role in focusing the beam in drift tube of charge particle accelerators. In order to optimize the beam current in ES-200, an electrostatic proton accelerator at Shahid Beheshti University, design and simulation of a suitable solenoid has been performed. Using CST Studio package, simulation results has been validated in comparison with theoretical formula. According to the results we optimized the design using CST to have minimum beam current on drift tube.

  Faraday Cups have been used as diagnostic tools to measure the charged particle beam current directly. Up to now, different designs have been introduced for this purpose. In this work a new design of Faraday Cup for ES-200 accelerator, a proton electrostatic accelerator which is installed at Shahid Beheshti University, has been performed. FC's dimensions and desirable material were considered Based on the ES-200 beam characteristics (maximum energy of 200 keV and maximum current of 500 mkA). Thickness and dimensions of FC has been calculated by SRIM code according to the range of proton and induced electrons. MCNPX Monte Carlo code was used in order to simulate the angular dispersion and flux of back scattered and secondary electrons that are produced in collision of energetic protons. The Appropriate FC geometry specifications have been calculated by using MCNPX code. Final Simulation and validation of the FC performance has been done by using CST Studio package. In addition, the heat power generated due to proton collision with FC has been calculated analytically and the required cooling system has been designed by ANSYS. Results showed that the new designed Faraday Cup has a good performance to measure the proton beam produced by ES-200 ion accelerator.
