	Funding: This work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 24510134. We have developed 8-plane (4 horizontal and 4 vertical) scintillating fiber hodoscope system to measure proton tracks due to beam loss in the ACS section at the J-PARC linac. The detector consists of upstream 4 planes (two horizontal and two vertical) and downstream 4 planes (two horizontal and 4 vertical). The time of flight measuremments between the upstream and downstream subsystems allow proton identification and energy mesurements. In summer of 2012, we have installed remote position movement system, which enables measurements of spatial distributions of proton tracks. In this presentation we show status of mesurements and data analysis.

TUPFI065	Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment Step VI	cavity, coupling, emittance, vacuum	1499
	D. Rajaram Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois, USA P. Snopok IIT, Chicago, Illinois, USA
	The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is a demonstration experiment to prove the viability of cooling a beam of muons for use in a Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider. The ultimate Step VI configuration of the MICE cooling channel, a section of the one proposed in the Neutrino Factory Study II, will demonstrate a 10% reduction in transverse beam emittance measured at the level of 1%. This requires measuring emittance to 0.1%. This measurement will be made using all beam line elements present in the MICE Step IV configuration with the addition of two low-Z absorber modules and two RF-Coupling Coil (RFCC) modules. The RFCC modules each contain four normal-conducting low frequency (201 MHz) RF cavities with a guiding magnetic field provided by a large diameter coupling coil. Each of these cavities will require approximately 1 MW of RF power in a 1 ms pulse at a rate of 1 Hz. The experiment can explore a variety of combinations of momentum, beta function, magnetic field flip or non-flip configurations that will prove precious in the design of future cooling channels. The current status and progress toward Step VI are discussed.

WEPWO005	Microphonics Analysis of the SC 325 MHz CH-Cavity	cavity, simulation, resonance, vacuum	2319
	M. Amberg, M. Busch, F.D. Dziuba, H. Podlech, U. Ratzinger IAP, Frankfurt am Main, Germany M. Amberg, K. Aulenbacher HIM, Mainz, Germany K. Aulenbacher IKP, Mainz, Germany
	Since the walls of superconducting (sc) cavities are kept very thin to support the cooling process, even small mechanical disturbances can detune the cavity. One of the main sources of detuning a cavity is microphonics. These low-frequent vibrations caused by vacuum pumps or underground noise are transferred to the cryostat and excite mechanical resonances of the cavity which may lead to frequency shifts larger than the bandwidth. To determine the mechanical resonance frequencies of the sc 325 MHz CH-cavity (Crossbar-H-Mode) simulations with ANSYS Workbench have been performed in a first step. Additionally, microphonics measurements were taken at room temperature as well as in a vertical cryostat at 4K in the cryo-lab of the IAP, Frankfurt University. Furthermore, the contraction of the cavity walls and the resulting frequency shift due to the cavity cool-down has been measured. A comparison between simulation results and the measured values is presented in this paper.

	Cornell University has proposed an energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility which can provide greatly improved X-ray beams due to the high electron-beam quality that is available from a linac. As part of the phase 1 R&D program, critical challenges in the design were addressed, one of them being a full linac cryo-module. It houses 6 superconducting cavities- operated at 1.8 K in cw mode- HOM absorbers and a magnet/ BPM section. We will present the design being finalized recently and report on the fabrication status that started in late 2012.

WEPFI004	Commissioning of First 352.2 MHz - 150 kW Solid State Amplifiers at the ESRF and Status of R&D	booster, cavity, storage-ring, HOM	2708
	J. Jacob, L. Farvacque, G. Gautier, M.L. Langlois, J.M. Mercier ESRF, Grenoble, France
	Funding: This work receives funding from the EU as work package WP7 in the FP7/CRISP project. Four 352.2 MHz - 150 kW Solid State Amplifiers (SSA), based on the SOLEIL design and supplied by ELTA/AREVA, are in operation on the ESRF booster since April 2012. A number of interesting effects were observed during commissioning that are inherent to the combination of many RF amplifier modules at high power. While it has only little impact on the booster SSA operated in pulsed regime, some modifications were necessary for the three SSAs that will be delivered by ELTA for an operation in CW on the storage ring. In parallel, the ESRF is developing a more compact SSA using cavity combiners *) instead of the widely adopted coaxial combiner trees. The status of this R&D project will also be reported.

WEPFI076	Experience with a 5 kW, 1.3 GHz Solid State Amplifier	linac, SRF, cryomodule, factory	2869
	K.M.V. Ho, R. Eichhorn, D.L. Hartill, M. Liepe CLASSE, Ithaca, New York, USA
	This study describes the experience with and performance of a commercially available 1.3 GHz 5kW Solid State Amplifier in various experiments at Cornell University. This paper focuses on several key factors in testing the performance of the amplifier. Among those are phase and amplitude stability, gain linearity, and phase shift vs. power. High power amplifiers are usually built with multiple RF power modules and the individual output signals are then combined in a power combiner. Therefore, the phases of the individual RF output power signals have to be adjusted within tight tolerances. The relative phases can be affected by different lengths cables and also affect the overall gain performance of the amplifier.

	R. Müller, T. Birke, M. Diehn, D.B. Engel, B. Franksen, R. Görgen, P. Kuske, R. Lange, I. Müller, A. Schälicke, G. Schindhelm HZB, Berlin, Germany
	At the 3rd generation light source BESSY II the first phase of a fast orbit feedback system() has been completed and put into operation in 2012. In this first phase the aim was to achieve noise suppression in the 1Hz to several 10Hz range, mostly avoiding expensive upgrades to existing hardware, such as beam position monitors and the CAN based setpoint transmission to the power supplies. Only the power supplies were replaced with newer, faster versions. This paper describes the capability of the phase-I FOFB with respect to beam motion transient suppression, low frequency damping and high frequency noise generation as well as aspects of operational integration and stability.

WEPME024	Gaussian Spectrum Fiber Laser Pulses Generated in an All-normal-dispersion Cavity	laser, cavity, controls, background	2983
	Y. You, W.-H. Huang, C.-X. Tang, L.X. Yan TUB, Beijing, People's Republic of China H. Shimizu, J. Urakawa KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	In this paper, we reported generating a broad bandwidth Gaussian shape spectrum fiber laser pulse directly in an all-normal dispersive cavity. Pulse-shaping is based on spectral filtering. The spectrum has a ~20 nm 20-dB spectrum bandwidth and it is different from the typical spectrum, of steep edge and two spikes. The Gaussian spectrum is preferred since it can be dechirped to transform-limited pulsed duration. The pulse duration corresponds to this kind of spectrum is ~315fs, and pulse energy is up to~9nJ, with a repetition rate of 18.9MHz.

	After successful implementation of SINAP timing solution at Pohang Light Source in 2011, the development of SINAP timing system version-II was finished by the end of 2012. The hardware of version-II is based on Virtex-6 FPGA chip, and bidirectional event frame transfer is realized in a 2.5Gbps fiber network. In event frame, data transfer functionality substitutes for distributed bus. The structure of timing system is also modified, where a new versatile EVO could be configured as EVG, FANOUT and EVR with optical outputs. Besides standard VME modules, we designed PLC-EVR as well, which is compatible with Yokogawa F3RP61 series. Based on brand new hardware architecture, the jitter performance of SINAP timing system version-II is improved remarkably.

THPEA007	Upgrade of Safety Interlock System of e⁺/e⁻ Linac for SuperKEKB Project	linac, gun, PLC, laser	3161
	A. Shirakawa, H. Honma, Y. Ogawa KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	The upgrade of e⁺/e⁻ Injector Linac is going on for SuperKEKB project. The personal interlock system of the Linac has been upgrading several times according to the upgrade phase. One of the biggest changes has been made when the Linac was divided into two areas: upstream and downstream linacs, which allows us to work out the upgrade even during injection to Photon Factories at lower energies using the downstream linac. Most of the interlock system devices were duplicated to start the 'half' accelerator operation. Another remarkable update is to adopt an RF-Gun as a new electron source. We programmed a specific strong logic for the RF-Gun operation. These upgrades will be reported with the introduction of the whole interlock system.

THPEA010	Design and Implementation of the Remote Control System of the Digital Magnet Power Supply of China Spallation Neutron Source	controls, power-supply, EPICS, simulation	3167
	X. Wu, Y.C. He, J. Liu, C.H. Wang, J.C. Wang IHEP, Beijing, People's Republic of China
	The magnet power supplies of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) can be classified into three types: rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) resonant power supplies, fast response power supplies and DC power supplies. All of the magnet power supplies are controlled by the intelligent controller called Digital Power Supply Control Module (DPSCM), which can regulate the current and voltage circuit. The DPSCM is developed by the power supply group. It has two RS232 communication interfaces. All the command setting and reading power parameters are transmitted by Modbus protocol. Therefore, we made the communication protocol based on Modbus RTU between the remote control system and the DPSCM. This paper introduces the design of the remote control interface to the DPSCM. We developed EPICS IOC applications and real-time database on MOXA embedded serial device DA710 and OPIs using Control System Studio (CSS) according to different kinds of the power supplies. We have tested the remote control system with these kinds of power supplies. The test result shows that the remote control system is stable and reliable and it can basically meet the requirements of power supply system and physicists.

	The RFC 460R PLC from Phoenix Contact is a high-performance controller that has been extended to offer redundancy functionality. This redundancy functionality is vital for uninterrupted processes in complex systems and large plants. In order to integrate this product into EPICS environment, an EPICS Driver is developed. This driver is intended to connect a pair of RFC 460R redundant PLCs via TCP/IP to an EPICS IOC. In this paper, the communication mechanism, software implementation and the test results of a prototype system will be described.

	S.Z. Gou, M. Yue, W. Zhang IMP, Lanzhou, People's Republic of China
	In order to improve running efficiency of accelerator, shorten the time of changing accelerator beam is key link and it should be considered how to accelerate the ion to specific energy quickly and accurately. We will discuss how to use years of heavy ion accelerator operation data to generate a set of virtual accelerator equipment data for specific ion and energy, load to all the accelerator equipment fast. EPICS provide Channel Archiver tools that can achieve and store data from the IOC equipment operation information. In this study, we use Archive Engine tool and Oracle to combine data acquisition function and data management function. Firstly store the Archive Engine acquisition data into Oracle database, and then according to the data to create accelerator system operation snapshot as the basis for beam tuning. The snapshot data includes all equipment state and parameters at special time in accelerator operating. When the ion is to be changed, related snapshot in Oracle database will be retrieved and loaded to all the equipment and to realize efficiently beam tuning.

	P.B. Cheblakov, A.A. Derbenev, S.E. Karnaev, S.S. Serednyakov BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia M.A. Davidsaver, Y. Tian BNL, Upton, New York, USA
	The booster synchrotron of the NSLS-II light source at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) provides electron beam acceleration from 200 MeV up to 3 GeV in 300 ms. This imposes strict conditions on both accuracy of control and synchronization of ramping Power Supplies (PS). Hardware part of PS controls are based on electronics specially developed at BNL and includes Power Supply Controllers (PSC) and Power Supply Interfaces (PSI). The former represents digital part of hardware and implements low-level logic (generating ramp functions, simple data verification and data acquisition), communication with control system software and PSI. The latter is an analogue part of entire system and it performs generation and acquisition analogue and digital signals by a set of on-board DACs, ADCs and digital inputs/outputs. The PSC and the PSI are connected by digital fibre optic link for electrical decoupling. This paper describes software for the booster synchrotron PSs control which is based on EPICS and includes a specially designed electronics configuration, a set of programs to manage ramp functions and to control different types of power supplies, both pulsed and ramping.

THPEA043	An Equipment Hub for Managing a Small Town and a Complex Machine	radiation, controls, coupling, collider	3237
	P. Martel, A. Alexandre Metola, Ch. Delamare, M.P. Kepinski, S. Mallon Amerigo, L. Pater, S. Petit, D. Widegren CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	Effective maintenance of the accelerators’ complex is vital for CERN’s mission. While this work is highly dependent on operational planning and constraints, it also needs to be coordinated with the maintenance of the infrastructure where the complex is embedded. The nature and degree of the logistics problems that arise from this interdependence cannot be handled by partial, decoupled solutions from each of the stakeholders. CERN’s Enterprise Asset Management system is the central hub where all relevant data about equipment and its maintenance is kept. It is also where data and documents about the manufacturing, installation, safety inspection, radiation measurements, disposal, etc. of the scientific equipment reside. This hub allows the effective sharing of consistent equipment data, accessed by a large number of people and systems, and supplies a wide range of interfaces – ranging from the user in the field with no access to a desktop computer, to scheduling systems that need to interact with it through Web services; this is achieved by means of a series of systems, tools and mechanisms, all dedicated to different needs but working on the same data and sharing common policies.

The system can increase system reliability, decrease maintenance cost, minimize not programmed shutdowns and enhance system performance. Besides, the system can also provide enough information to schedule maintenance order by user or preventive and optimize energy usage.

THPME005	Status of the Super FRS Magnet Development for FAIR	dipole, quadrupole, octupole, sextupole	3519
	H. Müller, E.S. Fischer, H. Leibrock, P. Schnizer, M. Winkler GSI, Darmstadt, Germany
	The Super-FRS is a new two stage in flight separator to be built on the site of GSI, Darmstadt, Germany as part of the FAIR (Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research). It will be able to create and spatially separate rare isotopes from all elements up to Uranium. Also very short lived nuclei will be observed efficiently. The Super-FRS has three branches, so a wide variety of experiments can be carried out in frame of the NUSTAR collaboration. The large acceptance needed leads to large apertures of the magnets and therefore only a superconducting solution is feasible. The magnets of the Super-FRS are of the so called superferric type. These magnets use superconducting coils but the field is shaped by magnetic iron yoke. In this contribution the actual status of the designs of the dipole and multipole magnets will be presented.

The RF system of the Pohang Light Source-II (PLS-II) storage ring is operating at the 3.0GeV/200mA with two superconducting RF (SRF) cavities. Each RF station is composed with a 300kW klystron with power supply unit, transmission components, a digital LLRF and a SRF cavity. And a cryogenic system of 700W capacities is supplied the LHe and LN2 to three cryomodules of SRF cavities. The second SRF cavity is installed during at the beginning in 2013 and the third one will be installed during summer shutdown in 2014 for stable 400mA operation with all 20 insertion devices. Also the third high power RF station with a 300kW klystron, power supply unit and WR1800 waveguide components will be prepared in 2013. The third LLRF system is already installed, but improved stabilities of amplitude, phase and tuner control.

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is a demonstration experiment to prove the viability of cooling a beam of muons for use in a Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider. The ultimate Step VI configuration of the MICE cooling channel, a section of the one proposed in the Neutrino Factory Study II, will demonstrate a 10% reduction in transverse beam emittance measured at the level of 1%. This requires measuring emittance to 0.1%. This measurement will be made using all beam line elements present in the MICE Step IV configuration with the addition of two low-Z absorber modules and two RF-Coupling Coil (RFCC) modules. The RFCC modules each contain four normal-conducting low frequency (201 MHz) RF cavities with a guiding magnetic field provided by a large diameter coupling coil. Each of these cavities will require approximately 1 MW of RF power in a 1 ms pulse at a rate of 1 Hz. The experiment can explore a variety of combinations of momentum, beta function, magnetic field flip or non-flip configurations that will prove precious in the design of future cooling channels. The current status and progress toward Step VI are discussed.

Since the walls of superconducting (sc) cavities are kept very thin to support the cooling process, even small mechanical disturbances can detune the cavity. One of the main sources of detuning a cavity is microphonics. These low-frequent vibrations caused by vacuum pumps or underground noise are transferred to the cryostat and excite mechanical resonances of the cavity which may lead to frequency shifts larger than the bandwidth. To determine the mechanical resonance frequencies of the sc 325 MHz CH-cavity (Crossbar-H-Mode) simulations with ANSYS Workbench have been performed in a first step. Additionally, microphonics measurements were taken at room temperature as well as in a vertical cryostat at 4K in the cryo-lab of the IAP, Frankfurt University. Furthermore, the contraction of the cavity walls and the resulting frequency shift due to the cavity cool-down has been measured. A comparison between simulation results and the measured values is presented in this paper.

Cornell University has proposed an energy-recovery linac (ERL) based synchrotron-light facility which can provide greatly improved X-ray beams due to the high electron-beam quality that is available from a linac. As part of the phase 1 R&D program, critical challenges in the design were addressed, one of them being a full linac cryo-module. It houses 6 superconducting cavities- operated at 1.8 K in cw mode- HOM absorbers and a magnet/ BPM section. We will present the design being finalized recently and report on the fabrication status that started in late 2012.

Four 352.2 MHz - 150 kW Solid State Amplifiers (SSA), based on the SOLEIL design and supplied by ELTA/AREVA, are in operation on the ESRF booster since April 2012. A number of interesting effects were observed during commissioning that are inherent to the combination of many RF amplifier modules at high power. While it has only little impact on the booster SSA operated in pulsed regime, some modifications were necessary for the three SSAs that will be delivered by ELTA for an operation in CW on the storage ring. In parallel, the ESRF is developing a more compact SSA using cavity combiners *) instead of the widely adopted coaxial combiner trees. The status of this R&D project will also be reported.

This study describes the experience with and performance of a commercially available 1.3 GHz 5kW Solid State Amplifier in various experiments at Cornell University. This paper focuses on several key factors in testing the performance of the amplifier. Among those are phase and amplitude stability, gain linearity, and phase shift vs. power. High power amplifiers are usually built with multiple RF power modules and the individual output signals are then combined in a power combiner. Therefore, the phases of the individual RF output power signals have to be adjusted within tight tolerances. The relative phases can be affected by different lengths cables and also affect the overall gain performance of the amplifier.

At the 3rd generation light source BESSY II the first phase of a fast orbit feedback system(*) has been completed and put into operation in 2012. In this first phase the aim was to achieve noise suppression in the 1Hz to several 10Hz range, mostly avoiding expensive upgrades to existing hardware, such as beam position monitors and the CAN based setpoint transmission to the power supplies. Only the power supplies were replaced with newer, faster versions. This paper describes the capability of the phase-I FOFB with respect to beam motion transient suppression, low frequency damping and high frequency noise generation as well as aspects of operational integration and stability.

In this paper, we reported generating a broad bandwidth Gaussian shape spectrum fiber laser pulse directly in an all-normal dispersive cavity. Pulse-shaping is based on spectral filtering. The spectrum has a ~20 nm 20-dB spectrum bandwidth and it is different from the typical spectrum, of steep edge and two spikes. The Gaussian spectrum is preferred since it can be dechirped to transform-limited pulsed duration. The pulse duration corresponds to this kind of spectrum is ~315fs, and pulse energy is up to~9nJ, with a repetition rate of 18.9MHz.

After successful implementation of SINAP timing solution at Pohang Light Source in 2011, the development of SINAP timing system version-II was finished by the end of 2012. The hardware of version-II is based on Virtex-6 FPGA chip, and bidirectional event frame transfer is realized in a 2.5Gbps fiber network. In event frame, data transfer functionality substitutes for distributed bus. The structure of timing system is also modified, where a new versatile EVO could be configured as EVG, FANOUT and EVR with optical outputs. Besides standard VME modules, we designed PLC-EVR as well, which is compatible with Yokogawa F3RP61 series. Based on brand new hardware architecture, the jitter performance of SINAP timing system version-II is improved remarkably.

The upgrade of e⁺/e⁻ Injector Linac is going on for SuperKEKB project. The personal interlock system of the Linac has been upgrading several times according to the upgrade phase. One of the biggest changes has been made when the Linac was divided into two areas: upstream and downstream linacs, which allows us to work out the upgrade even during injection to Photon Factories at lower energies using the downstream linac. Most of the interlock system devices were duplicated to start the 'half' accelerator operation. Another remarkable update is to adopt an RF-Gun as a new electron source. We programmed a specific strong logic for the RF-Gun operation. These upgrades will be reported with the introduction of the whole interlock system.

The magnet power supplies of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) can be classified into three types: rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS) resonant power supplies, fast response power supplies and DC power supplies. All of the magnet power supplies are controlled by the intelligent controller called Digital Power Supply Control Module (DPSCM), which can regulate the current and voltage circuit. The DPSCM is developed by the power supply group. It has two RS232 communication interfaces. All the command setting and reading power parameters are transmitted by Modbus protocol. Therefore, we made the communication protocol based on Modbus RTU between the remote control system and the DPSCM. This paper introduces the design of the remote control interface to the DPSCM. We developed EPICS IOC applications and real-time database on MOXA embedded serial device DA710 and OPIs using Control System Studio (CSS) according to different kinds of the power supplies. We have tested the remote control system with these kinds of power supplies. The test result shows that the remote control system is stable and reliable and it can basically meet the requirements of power supply system and physicists.

In order to improve running efficiency of accelerator, shorten the time of changing accelerator beam is key link and it should be considered how to accelerate the ion to specific energy quickly and accurately. We will discuss how to use years of heavy ion accelerator operation data to generate a set of virtual accelerator equipment data for specific ion and energy, load to all the accelerator equipment fast. EPICS provide Channel Archiver tools that can achieve and store data from the IOC equipment operation information. In this study, we use Archive Engine tool and Oracle to combine data acquisition function and data management function. Firstly store the Archive Engine acquisition data into Oracle database, and then according to the data to create accelerator system operation snapshot as the basis for beam tuning. The snapshot data includes all equipment state and parameters at special time in accelerator operating. When the ion is to be changed, related snapshot in Oracle database will be retrieved and loaded to all the equipment and to realize efficiently beam tuning.

The booster synchrotron of the NSLS-II light source at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) provides electron beam acceleration from 200 MeV up to 3 GeV in 300 ms. This imposes strict conditions on both accuracy of control and synchronization of ramping Power Supplies (PS). Hardware part of PS controls are based on electronics specially developed at BNL and includes Power Supply Controllers (PSC) and Power Supply Interfaces (PSI). The former represents digital part of hardware and implements low-level logic (generating ramp functions, simple data verification and data acquisition), communication with control system software and PSI. The latter is an analogue part of entire system and it performs generation and acquisition analogue and digital signals by a set of on-board DACs, ADCs and digital inputs/outputs. The PSC and the PSI are connected by digital fibre optic link for electrical decoupling. This paper describes software for the booster synchrotron PSs control which is based on EPICS and includes a specially designed electronics configuration, a set of programs to manage ramp functions and to control different types of power supplies, both pulsed and ramping.

Effective maintenance of the accelerators’ complex is vital for CERN’s mission. While this work is highly dependent on operational planning and constraints, it also needs to be coordinated with the maintenance of the infrastructure where the complex is embedded. The nature and degree of the logistics problems that arise from this interdependence cannot be handled by partial, decoupled solutions from each of the stakeholders. CERN’s Enterprise Asset Management system is the central hub where all relevant data about equipment and its maintenance is kept. It is also where data and documents about the manufacturing, installation, safety inspection, radiation measurements, disposal, etc. of the scientific equipment reside. This hub allows the effective sharing of consistent equipment data, accessed by a large number of people and systems, and supplies a wide range of interfaces – ranging from the user in the field with no access to a desktop computer, to scheduling systems that need to interact with it through Web services; this is achieved by means of a series of systems, tools and mechanisms, all dedicated to different needs but working on the same data and sharing common policies.

The Super-FRS is a new two stage in flight separator to be built on the site of GSI, Darmstadt, Germany as part of the FAIR (Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research). It will be able to create and spatially separate rare isotopes from all elements up to Uranium. Also very short lived nuclei will be observed efficiently. The Super-FRS has three branches, so a wide variety of experiments can be carried out in frame of the NUSTAR collaboration. The large acceptance needed leads to large apertures of the magnets and therefore only a superconducting solution is feasible. The magnets of the Super-FRS are of the so called superferric type. These magnets use superconducting coils but the field is shaped by magnetic iron yoke. In this contribution the actual status of the designs of the dipole and multipole magnets will be presented.

The Front End Test Stand (FETS) under construction at RAL is a demonstrator for the front end systems of a future high power proton linac. Possible applications include a linac upgrade for the ISIS spallation neutron source, new future neutron sources, accelerator driven sub-critical systems, a neutrino factory etc. Designed to deliver a 60mA H-minus beam at 3MeV with a 10% duty factor, FETS consists of a high brightness ion source, magnetic low energy beam transport (LEBT), 4-vane 324MHz radio frequency quadrupole, medium energy beam transport (MEBT) containing a high speed beam chopper and non-destructive photo-detachment diagnostics. This paper describes the current status of the project and future plans.
