A test stand for optical beam tomography was developed. As a new non-destructive beam-diagnostic system for high current ion beams, the test stand will be installed in the low energy beam transport section (LEBT) of the Frankfurt Neutron Source (FRANZ) behind the chopper system. The test stand consists of a rotatable vacuum chamber with a mounted CCD camera. The maximum rotation angle amounts to 270°. In a first phase the optical beam profile measurement and 3D density reconstruction is tested with a time independent 10 keV He beam. The measurements and performance of data processing algorithms are compared with the beam transport simulations. In a later phase the performance with time dependent beams (120 keV, 200 mA) at a repetition rate of 250 kHz and a duty cycle of 2.5% has to be evaluated. An overview of the first phase results is shown.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Gestaltung eines Teststandes für die optische Tomographie eines Ionenstrahles untersucht. Nachdem Ionenstrahlen hoher Intensität immer mehr Leistung in den Diagnosegeräten deponieren, müssen neue nicht Strahlzerstörende Diagnosemethoden gefunden werden. Die Diagnose mittels strahlinduziertem Restgasleuchten ist dabei eine viel versprechende nicht zerstörende Methode. Neben der Definition der Anforderungen für einen solchen Teststand werden verschiedene Realisierungsmöglichkeiten untersucht. Mit einem Testaufbau wird das strahlinduzierte Leuchten in Abhängigkeit verschiedener Restgase und Restgasdrücke untersucht, sowie die Eigenschaften des optischen Systems und der Kamera analysiert. Weiterhin wird die Möglichkeit der Emittanzbestimung aus einer optischen Aufnahme mit vorhandenen Methoden untersucht.
A non-interceptive optical diagnostic system on the basis of beam tomography, was developed for the planned Frankfurt Neutron Source (FRANZ). The proton driver linac of FRANZ will provide energies up to 2.0 MeV. The measurement device will non-interceptively derive required beam parameters at the end of the LEBT at beam energies of 120 keV and a current of 200 mA. On a narrow space of 351.2 mm length a rotatable tomography tank will perform a multi-turn tomography with a high and stable vacuum pressure. The tank allows to plug different measurement equipment additionally to the CCD Camera installed, to perform optical beam tomography. A collection of developed algorithms provides information about the density distribution, shape, size, location and emittance on the basis of CCD images. Simulated, as well as measured data have been applied to the evaluation algorithms to test the reliability of the beam. The actual contribution gives an overview on the current diagnostic possibilities of this diagnostic system.
Chopper systems are used to pulse charged particle beams. In most cases, electric deflection systems are used to generate beam pulses of defined lengths and appropriate repetition rates. At high beam intensities, the field distribution of the chopper system needs to be adapted precisely to the beam dynamics in order to avoid aberrations. An additional challenge is a robust design which guarantees reliable operation. For the Frankfurt Neutron Source FRANZ, an E×B chopper system is being developed which combines static magnetic deflection with a pulsed electric field in a Wien filter configuration. It will generate proton pulses with a flat top of 50 ns at a repetition rate of 250 kHz for 120 keV, 200 mA beams. For the electric deflection, pre-experiments with static and pulsed fields were performed using a helium ion beam. In pulsed mode operation, ion beams of different energies were deflected with voltages of up to ±6 kV and the resulting response was measured using a beam current transformer. A comparison between experiments and theoretical calculations as well as numerical simulations are presented.
