	A new acceleration structure named as coupled RFQ and SFRFQ cavity is under design at Peking University (PKU). A pulsed He⁺ beam injector will be needed to transport 30 keV 20 mA He⁺ beam with a factor of 1/6, pulse width of 1 ms and normalized rms emittance less than 0.15 π{·}mm{·}mrad for this composited type cavity. Based on the experimental results obtained on the PKU LEBT test bench, a 1.16 m long two-solenoid type low energy beam transport (LEBT) line was developed. In this paper we will address the 30 keV He⁺ ion beam transportation experiment results on the test bench as well as the specific design on the helium injector.

	The UK proton accelerator strategy aims to develop a viable high power proton driver with applications including spallation neutrons, the neutrino factory and ADSR. An essential first ingredient, identified as one of the main UK R&D accelerator projects, is the Front End Test Stand (FETS) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), aimed at producing a high quality, high current, cleanly chopped H⁻ beam. Through its component parts, FETS has triggered development of a high brightness, 60 mA H⁻ ion source, a three-solenoid Low Energy Beam Transport line (LEBT), a 3 MeV four-vane Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and a Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT) with a high speed chopper. The project is well advanced and when operational should be sufficiently versatile to explore a range of operating conditions. In this paper we present the current status of the construction, and plans for operation, experiments and future development.

	Funding: Work performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. A spare Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) is presently being fabricated by industry with delivery to Oak Ridge National Laboratory planned in late 2012. The establishment of a test stand at the Spallation Neutron Source site is underway so that complete acceptance testing can be performed during the winter of 2012-2013. This activity is the first step in the establishment of an integrated front-end test stand that will include an ion source, low-energy beam transport (LEBT), RFQ, medium-energy beam transport, diagnostics, and a beam dump. The test stand will be capable of delivering an H⁻ ion beam of up to 50 mA with a pulse length of 1 ms and a repetition rate of 60 Hz or a proton beam of up to 50 mA, 100 μs, 1 Hz. The test stand will enable the following activities: complete ion source characterization; development of a magnetic LEBT chopper; development of a two-source layout; development of beam diagnostics; and study of beam dynamics of high intensity beam.

THPB094	Performance of Beam Chopper at SARAF via RF Deflector Before the RFQ	rfq, simulation, ion, proton	1038

	We describe performance of a beam chopper at the SARAF accelerator consisting of an HV deflector preceding the RFQ. The deflector and electronics, developed at LNS Catania, was designed to provide slow beam chopping for beam testing and diagnostics where low beam power is necessary. The HV deflector sweeps away the low energy beam onto a water cooled beam catcher, while a fast HV switch momentarily switches off the HV whenever a transmitted beam to the RFQ is desired. We report on measurements with this chopping system, where minimum transmitted beam pulse of 180 ns duration is attained with a rise and fall time of several nano-seconds. We performed beam dynamics simulations of SARAF Phase-I, including the deflector, where the short rise and fall times of the chopped beam is attributed to the tight collimation of the deflected beam provided by the RFQ and the fast Faraday Cup. We also describe beam dynamics simulations which suggest that single RFQ bunch selection can be achieved with the existing chopping system, during zero-crossover for positive-negative deflecting HV waveform.

	Since the middle of the 90’s development of high intensity light ion injectors are undertaken at CEA-Saclay. The first 100 mA proton beam has been produced by the SILHI ECR source in the framework of the IPHI project. Ever since, more than 100 mA of protons or deuteron beams, with high purities, have been regularly produced in pulsed or continuous mode, and with very good beam characteristics analyzed in dedicated beam diagnostics. CEA-Saclay is currently involved in several high intensity LINAC projects such as Spiral2, IFMIF-EVEDA and FAIR, and is in charge of their source and LEBT design and construction. This article reports the latest developments and experimental results carried out at CEA-Saclay for the 3 projects. In addition, a review of the developments and beam results performed in other laboratories worldwide will be also presented.
