Description

The RAL Front End Test Stand is being constructed to demonstrate the production of a 60 mA, 3 MeV, 50 pps, chopped H- beam suitable for future high-power proton accelerators. Due to the high beam brightness and a desire to have online instrumentation while the accelerator is operational, a series of non-intrusive, non-destructive diagnostics, based on the photo-detachment of the outer electrons of the H- ions, are being developed. This talk describes a device that will measure the 2D ion beam density distribution, due to be installed in the summer.
