A MObile diagnostics Test Stand (MOTS) is being designed at ESS-Bilbao in order to characterize the beam at the end of the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) at 3 MeV. Injection of the beam from the RFQ to the Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tank and acceleration up to 12 MeV is a sensitive operation in the accelerating chain. The output beam of the RFQ should be fully characterized and tuned to optimize this operation. To perform this characterization the MOTS is being designed with a set of diagnostics devices to measure also beam parameters after the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT), and with minor modifications after the first tank of the DTL. The most important beam parameters that will be measured with the test stand are the beam current, the beam energy and the energy spread. Other important parameters are the beam emittance, the transverse beam position and the profile and bunch length. This contribution describes the beam properties that will be measured and the corresponding instrumentation devices, and presents a general layout of the MOTS.

Various test benches have been developed at ESS-Bilbao in order to characterize different beam diagnostics and control systems prior to their installation on various parts of the accelerator. One test bench includes time-of-flight (TOF) characterization for energy measurement using fast current transformers (FCT). Using FCTs for the TOF measurement would allow us to measure accurately the delay between two successive bunched or un-bunched beam pulses of low energy ions. The other test bench includes a beam loss monitoring and interlock system using ACCTs, cRIO and PXI chassis with some acquisition modules and optical fiber link which represent a complete system of beam loss detection, interlock logic and trigger signal transmission. Having an integration on the ACCT output also allows us to measure the beam charge at the location of monitoring. In the test benches the functionality of hardware and software, the logic and required signal specifications like rise time, jitters and delays are measured. An overview of test benches and their measurement results are reported in this paper.
