  Simulations are performed for the Ion Source Test Stand (ITUR) of the ESS-Bilbao research accelerator facility. The beam dynamics is investigated as a function of the extraction voltages, the ion current, and the inclination angle of the ion source. The ITUR Penning H− ion source has the plasma aperture plate and extraction electrode inclined a certain angle with respect to the vertical axis to compensate for the Penning magnets field. The negative charged particles are extracted through a rectangular slit of 10×6 mm2. The extraction system is mainly composed of two devices, a rectangular extraction electrode and a refrigerated trumpet shaped device acting as an Einzel lens to focus the beam, and also, as a trap for neutral cesium atoms exiting from the source. Results are calculated and analyzed at the DC Current Transformer and pepperpot positions located at 245 mm and 882 mm from the ion source.

In order to fully characterize the experimentally measured beam in any accelerator facility, both diagnostics measurements and operating parameters need to be stored and correlated. Generating thus, a substantial amount of data. To address this problem in the ESS-Bilbao Ion Source Test Stand (ITUR), we have developed a software toolkit. This software stores Pepperpot, Faraday-Cup, Retarding Potential Analyzer, ACCT and DCCT measurements in a relational database associated with the operating parameter values at the time of measurement. Furthermore, the toolkit stores in the same database the beam transverse dynamics parameters processed from the pepperpot device. This allows to connect easily the beam physics with the accelerator running parameters. MySQL has been used as database backend and Matlab as programming language.
