Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. Beam-profile diagnostics are being developed for a superconducting (SC) radiofrequency (RF) Test Accelerator that is currently under construction at the New Muon Lab (NML) at Fermilab. The facility’s design goals include the replication of the pulse train proscribed for the International Linear Collider (ILC). An RF photoelectric gun based on the DESY design will generate the beam. In test-beam mode a low-power beam will be characterized with intercepting radiation converter screens: either a 100-micron thick YAG:Ce single crystal scintillator or a 1-micron thin Al optical transition radiation (OTR) foil. This prototype station was constructed by RadiaBeam Technologies under a contract with Fermilab. In both cases the screen surface was normal to the beam direction followed by a downstream 45-degree mirror that directed the radiation into the optical system. The optical system has better than 20 (10) micron rms spatial resolution when covering a vertical field of view of 18(5) mm. These initial tests were performed at the A0 Photoinjector at a beam energy of ~15 MeV and with micropulse charges from 25 to 500 pC for beam sizes of 45 to 250 microns. Example results will be presented. |

Funding: Work supported by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. DOE Project X, under study at Fermilab, is a multi task SRF beam facility, aiming to provide high intensity protons for rare processes experiments and nuclear physics at low energy, and simultaneously for the production of neutrinos, as well as muon beams in the long term. A beam test facility - former known as High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) - is under commissioning for testing critical components of the project, e.g. a beam chopper. In this paper we describe the layout of the test facility and present beam dynamics simulations and measurements. |
