  The European Spallation Source (ESS), to be built in the south of Sweden, will use a 2 GeV superconducting linac to produce the worlds most powerful neutron source with a beam power of 5 MW. A number of wire scanners will be used to characterize the beam transverse profile. The design of the wire has to cope with the high power density of the beam and must satisfy the overall measurement robustness, accuracy and sensitivity for the commissioning and the regular retuning phase of the ESS linac. This paper describes the preliminary design of the wire scanner system in the normal conducing linac as well as in the superconducting linac.

  The DTL section of the ESS linac will accelerate the beam form 3.6 MeV to 90 MeV at a peak current of 62.5 mA. It is foreseen to install after each DTL tank a Faraday cup for beam current and the beam transmission measurements during retuning phase. An energy degrader will be positioned in front of the in order to perform a low resolution phase scan of the DTL tank before injecting the beam in the downstream structure. This paper describes the preliminary studies of the Faraday cup, mainly focus on the energy degrader.

  The European Spallation Source (ESS), which is currently under construction, will be a neutron source based on 5MW, 2GeV proton linac. This high intensity linac will among other beam instrumentation require longitudinal bunch profile monitors. These shall be used during the commissioning phase and start-up periods for beam dynamics optimization and beam loss reduction. The paper focuses on the preliminary studies concerning the longitudinal bunch profile monitoring at the ESS linac.

  The front-end of a hadron linac typically has a transient time during turning on and off and bunches in the head and tail of a pulse from this period likely have wrong parameters and a risk to cause beam losses. A risk of losses must be avoided as possible in a high power machine so these bunches are removed with deflectors called choppers in the ESS Linac. From experiences of other machines, a rise time of a chopper as fast as one RF period (2.84~ns for ESS) is challenging to achieve and not necessarily needed with no ring to inject like ESS, and hence a 10~ns rise time is planned for a chopper in the medium energy beam transport of ESS. This, however, means that several bunches receive intermediate deflections and may propagate with large trajectory excursions. This paper studies dynamics of such partially chopped bunches in detail to ensure no significant loss is caused by them.  
 
TUPP039 Accuracy Determination of the ESS MEBT Emittance Measurements 519

    ESS, Lund, Sweden
 
  The European Spallation Source MEBT will be equipped with a full set of diagnostics in order to characterize the bean properties before the injection in the DTL. The 6D phase space of the beam shall be characterize during the commissioning of the normal conducting as well as on regular basis during retuning phase of the machine. In this paper we will discuss the accuracy of the transverse emittance measurement that will be performed with the slit-grid method. The slit geometric parameters have been determined in order to achieve the required resolution and sensitivity. Scattering effects at the slit have been considered to determine the emittance measurement accuracy.

  The ESS Normal Conducting (NC) linac is composed of an ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport line, a Radio Frequency Quarupole (RFQ), a Medium Energy Beam Transport Line (MEBT) and a Drift Tube Linac (DTL). It creates, bunches and accelerates the proton beam up to 90 MeV before injecting into the superconducting linac which will deliver a 5 MW beam onto the neutron production target. The construction of the NC linac is part of a broad collaboration involving experts of various Labs in Europe. The technical chalenges and the collaboration strategy for the NC linac will be presented.
