Linac4 is a 160 MeV H− linear accelerator presently under construction at CERN. It will replace the present 50 MeV proton Linac2 as injector of the proton accelerator complex as part of a project to increase the LHC luminosity. The Linac4 front-end, composed of a 45 keV ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a 352.2 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) which accelerates the beam to 3 MeV and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) housing a beam chopper, has been commissioned in the Linac4 tunnel. The MEBT is composed of three buncher cavities and 11 quadrupole magnets to match the beam from the RFQ to the next accelerating structure (DTL) and it includes two wire scanners for beam profile measurement. In this paper we present the results of the profile measurements and we compare them with emittance measurements taken with a temporary slit-and-grid emittance measurement device located after the MEBT line.

Linac4 is a pulsed, normal-conducting 160 Mev H− linear accelerator presently under construction at CERN. It will replace the present 50 MeV Linac2 as injector of the proton accelerator complex as part of a project to increase the LHC luminosity. The 3 MeV front end, composed of a 45 keV ion source, a Low Energy Beam transport (LEBT), a 352 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) at 3 MeV and Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) housing a beam chopper, and the first Drift Tube Linac (DTL) tank at 12 MeV have been commissioned during the first half of 2014. The transverse and longitudinal emittance reconstruction technique in the presence of space charge, that will be used for the next commissioning stages and permanently during the Linac operation, was successfully tested and validated. The reconstruction method and the results obtained at 3 and 12 MeV are presented in this paper.

Linac4, the future 160 MeV H− injector to the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster, is presently under construction at CERN as a central step of the planned upgrade of the LHC injectors. The Linac front-end, composed of a 45 keV ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a 352.2 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) housing a beam chopper, has been installed and commissioned. Precise measurements of the longitudinalμbunch profiles of ion beams were possible with the help of a Bunch Shape Monitor (BSM) developed at INR Moscow. These were crucial for the successful commissioning of the three RF buncher cavities mounted along the MEBT and well complemented with higher precision the information provided in parallel by spectrometer measurements.
