A high pressure hydrogen gas filled RF cavity was subjected to an intense proton beam to study the evolution of the beam induced plasma inside the cavity. The electron recombination rate with the dense ionized hydrogen plasma has been measured under varying conditions. Recombination rates as high as 10-7 cm3/s have been recorded. This technique shows promise in the R&D program for a muon accelerator. The use of hydrogen, both as a way to prevent breakdown in an RF cavity and as a mechanism for cooling a beam of muons, will be discussed.

The recent High Pressure RF (HPRF) cavity experiment at the MuCool Test Area (MTA) used a 400 MeV Linac proton beam to study the beam loading effect. When the energetic proton beam passes through the cavity, it ionizes the inside gas and produces electrons. These electrons consume RF power inside the cavity. The number of electrons produced per cm inside the cavity (at 950 psi Hydrogen gas) per incident proton is 1200. The measurement of beam position and profile are necessary. The MTA is a flammable gas (Hydrogen) hazard zone, so we have developed a passive beam diagnostic instrument using a Chromox-6 scintillation screen and CCD camera. This paper presents quantitative information about beam position and beam profile. A neutral density filter was used to avoid saturation of the CCD camera. Image data is filtered and fitted with a Gaussian function to compute the beam size. The beam profile obtained from the scintillation screen will be compared with a multi-wire beam profile.

The Fermilab Linac delivers a variable intensity, 400-MeV beam to the The MuCool Test Area experimental hall via a beam line specifically designed to facilitate measurements of the Linac beam emittance and properties. A 10 m, dispersion-free and magnet-free straight utilizes an upstream quadrupole focusing triplet in combination with the necessary in-straight beam diagnostics to fully characterize the transverse beam properties. Since the Linac does not produce a strictly elliptical phase space, tomography must be performed on the profile data to retrieve the actual particle distribution in phase space. This is achieved by rotating the phase space distribution using different waist focusing conditions of the upstream triplet and performing a de-convolution of the profile data. Preliminary measurements using this diagnostic section are reported here.
