  The PXIE accelerator is the front-end test stand of the proposed Proton Improvement Plan (PIP-II) initiative: a CW-compatible pulsed H superconducting RF linac upgrade to Fermilab’s injection system. The PXIE Ion Source and Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) section are designed to create and transfer a 1–10 mA H beam, in either pulsed (0.001–16 ms) or DC mode, from the ion source through to the injection point of the RFQ. This paper discusses the range of diagnostic tools —Allison-type Emittance Scanner, Faraday Cup, Toroid, DCCT, electrically isolated diaphragms – involved in the commissioning of the beamline and preparation of the beam for injection into the RFQ.

The Proton Improvement Plan II at Fermilab is a program of upgrades to the injection complex [1]. At its core is the design and construction of a CW-compatible, pulsed H superconducting RF linac. To validate the concept of the front-end of such machine, a test accelerator (a.k.a. PXIE) is under construction [2]. It includes a 10 mA DC, 30 keV H ion source, a 2m-long LEBT, a 2.1 MeV CW RFQ, followed by a MEBT that feeds the first of 2 cryomodules taking the beam energy to ~25 MeV, and a High Energy Beam Transport section (HEBT) that takes the beam to a dump. The ion source and LEBT, which includes 3 solenoids, several clearing electrodes/collimators and a chopping system, have been built, installed, and commissioned to full specification parameters. This report presents the outcome of our commissioning activities, including phase-space measurements at the end of the beam line under various neutralization schemes obtained by changing the electrodes’ biases and chopper parameters.

A Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line is the part of a modern ion accelerator between an ion source (IS) and a Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). Typically, it includes 1-3 solenoidal lenses for focusing and relies on transport dynamics with nearly complete beam space charge neutralization over the entire length of the LEBT. In this paper, we discuss the possibility and rationality of imposing un-neutralized transport in the portion of the LEBT adjacent to the RFQ. For estimations, we will use the parameters from PXIE, a test accelerator presently being constructed at Fermilab.
