| TUPOST035 | BOLINA, a Suite for High Level Beam Optimization: First Experimental Results on the Adige Injection Beamline of SPES | 933 |
|
||
| A high-level software BOLINA (Beam Orbit for LINear Accelerators) has been designed to fully characterise and automatically correct the ion beams trajectory, to help operators during the beam transport with an easily scalable suite for LINACs. Currently, the high-level software, interfaced with an EPICS control system, automatically manages accelerator devices to preserve the beam quality, including beam-based alignment and, if needed, dispersion-free steering software. The suite has been developed to satisfy and commutate the software easily on different machine, using interceptive /not interceptive diagnostics. The software was designed for ELI-np and now is under test at Legnaro National Laboratories of INFN using the installed accelerators complex. In particular, BOLINA has been successfully tested on the Adige Injector 1+ beamline of the SPES Project where the system response matrix is measured on interceptive beam diagnostic by varying both electrostatic and magnetic steerers. This paper describes results and strategies to reduce trajectory residuals close to the diagnostic resolutions and their effectiveness to prepare the commissioning of LINACs. | ||

| WEPOTK001 | Status of the Normal Conducting Linac at the European Spallation Source | 2019 |
|
||
| The construction of the ESS accelerator is in full swing. Many key components have been delivered from our in-kind partners and installation, testing and commissioning is making remarkable progress. The first machine section to be commissioned with beam is the Normal Conducting Linac (NCL). When completed, a 14 Hz, 2.86 ms proton beam up to 62.5 mA will be transported from the Ion Source, through the Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line, the Radiofrequency Quadrupole (RFQ), the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line and the five Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tanks up to 90 MeV where it will be injected in the first superconducting module of the machine. This paper will highlight recent progress across the NCL, present briefly the first commissioning results and discuss the upcoming phases as well as challenges in delivering a machine capable of meeting the requirements for a next generation spallation neutron facility. | ||

| THPOTK003 | Optimization of Mass Resolution Parameters Combined with Ion Cooler Performance | 2770 |
|
||
|
High mass resolution spectrometers (HRMS) for separation of exotic ion species in nuclear physics experiment request a low emittance and small energy spread (with D E the peak-to-peak value, and sE the rms value) of the input beam, so that ion cooler devices, as a Radio Frequency Quadrupole Coolers (RFQC), are typically envisioned. The SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project at LNL requests M/(D M) about 20000, rms normalized emittance in the order of 2 nm, and for 160 keV ions, spread sE about 1 eV. Typical limits of RFQC[*] and HRMS[**] performances are discussed, and relevant formulas are implemented in easy reference tools. The necessary collisional data are reviewed, in particular for Cs+ against He gas, whose pressure ranges from 2 to 9 Pa; status of Milan test bench is briefly updated. Practical consideration on gas pumping, voltage stability and magnet design are also included.
