  The accelerator-driven Frankfurt Neutron Source FRANZ is under construction at the science campus of Frankfurt University. Its Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line also serves as test stand for transport and chopping experiments with high-intensity ion beams. The high-current proton source was tested successfully with dc currents above 200 mA . The LEBT section consisting of four solenoids and a 250 kHz, 120 ns chopper was successfully commissioned using a helium test beam at low beam currents. Transport simulations including space-charge compensation and measurements are discussed. Simulations and experimental results of the novel LEBT chopper using a Wien-filter type field array and pulsed electrode voltages of up to ±6kV will be presented.
