C. Rossi – L4 Project Meeting 3 March 2011 Status and Plans of 3 MeV Test Stand

C. Rossi – L4 Project Meeting 3 March 2011 The 3 MeV Test Stand is installed in the PS South Hall extension (building 152)

C. Rossi – L4 Project Meeting 3 March 2011 Activities at the Test Stand in 2010 Source Operation Impossible to operate the ion source with H - at 45 kV extraction voltage Characterize the source for p extraction at 45 kV to allow RFQ and partial MEBT commissioning

C. Rossi – L4 Project Meeting 3 March 2011 Activities at the Test Stand in 2010 Source Results with protons The energy spread of the beam is not larger than 400 eV (50 eV per mm) => ± 200 eV => ± 0.4 % Pictures from O. Midttun’s presentation Slit 1 mm Sol 600 A
