The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) is replacing Wire Scanner (WS) beam profile measurement systems. Three beam development tests have taken place to test the new wire scanners under beam conditions. These beam development tests have integrated the WS actuator, cable plant, electronics processors and associated software and have used H beams of different beam energy and current conditions. In addition, the WS measurement-system beam tests verified actuator control systems for minimum profile bin repeatability and speed, checked for actuator backlash and positional stability, tested the replacement of simple broadband potentiometers with narrow band resolvers, and tested resolver use with National Instruments Compact Reconfigurable Input and Output (cRIO) Virtual Instrumentation. These beam tests also have verified how trans-impedance amplifiers react with various types of beam line background noise and how the cable plants can be simplified without generating unwanted noise currents. This paper will describe these beam development tests and show some resulting data.

  We present a feasible design for the implementation of a beam emittance growth suppressing lattice for space-charge dominated beams. Our analysis is based on original derivations developed in *. We present a FODO focusing channel with quadrupole and duodecapole components which on average create the field required to match the high-brightness beam with the structure. Matched beam exhibits smaller emittance growth than that in regular quadrupole focusing channel. Numerical results demonstrate the lattice’s performance in preventing halo formation of a nonuniform space charge dominated beam.
