This presentation should describe the Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE)and its connection with Project X. It should focus on the novel aspects of PXIE, namely the programmable, bunch-by-bunch chopping of a CW H⁻ beam; acceleration in CW superconducting RF structures immediately following the RFQ; operation of SRF structures adjacent to a high-power chopper target; and preservation of high-quality chopped beams with acceptable emittance growth and halo.

The Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) will be a prototype of the Project X front end that will be used to validate the design concept and decrease technical risks. It consist of a 30 kV, 5mA H⁻ ion source; LEBT; 2.1 MeV CW RFQ; MEBT that forms a desired bunch structure by removing ~80% of bunches; two SC cryomodules accelerating the beam to ~25 MeV; and a beam dump. The PXIE vacuum system faces significant technical challenges, including a large hydrogen flux from the H⁻ ion source and large outgassing from the LEBT absorber. The greatest challenge is probably to minimize the risk of degrading re-bunching RF cavities and the nearby SC cryomodule due to the migration of large gas load and microparticles from MEBT absorber. Therefore, it is important to apply low particulate vacuum practices in the vicinity of cryomodules for preventing contamination of the SC cryomodules. Differential pumping is also necessary to protect and ensure reliable operation of the beamline. The conceptual design of the vacuum system is presented in this paper.
