  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.

  The first stage of the ESS-Bilbao LINAC will accelerate H+ and H− high current beams up to 50 MeV for different applications. After the last acceleration step in the DTL, the beam will either be transported to the experimental laboratories by the means of several transfer lines, or continue to a further acceleration step in spoke cavities. The first design of one of the quadrupoles that focus the beam along the transfer lines is presented. The quadrupoles will have an aperture of 63 mm and 20 T/m maximum gradient, featuring a short iron yoke of 100 mm. All the quadrupoles of the transfer lines are expected to be similar in order to simplify the design and manufacturing processes. The iron yoke is small and highly saturated, and an optimization of the 3D harmonics in the load-line is developed to fulfil the field quality specifications. The required current density is high (about 8.2 A/mm2), therefore a water cooled hollow conductor is used to cool down the coils. The cooling and power supply requirements are calculated in this paper. The most important manufacturing indications are also presented.
