The Front End Test Stand (FETS) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) requires a 60 mA, 2 ms, 50 Hz H− beam. The present source can only deliver the current and pulse length requirements at 25 Hz. At 50 Hz there is too much droop in the beam current. To rectify this, a scaled source is being developed. This paper details the new source design and the experiments conducted that are guiding the design.

The Front End Test Stand (FETS) under construction at RAL is a demonstrator of front end systems for future high power proton linacs. Possible applications include a linac upgrade for the ISIS spallation neutron source, new future neutron sources, accelerator driven sub-critical systems, high energy physics proton drivers etc. Designed to deliver a 60mA H-minus beam at 3MeV with a 10% duty factor, FETS consists of a high brightness surface plasma ion source, magnetic solenoid low energy beam transport (LEBT), 4-vane 324MHz radio frequency quadrupole and medium energy beam transport (MEBT) containing a high speed beam chopper and non-destructive laser diagnostics. This paper describes the current status of the project and future plans.
