AB - PI-Test [1] is an accelerator facility under construction at Fermilab that will provide a platform to demonstrate critical technologies and concept of front-end of the PIP-II superconducting radio frequency (SRF) linac. It will be capable to accelerate an H⁻ ion beam with average current of 2 mA up to 25 MeV in continuous wave (CW) regime. To protect the SRF components from beam irradiation, the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section of PI-Test includes an elaborated beam scraping system. It consists of four assemblies spread along the MEBT, with each assembly composed of four radiation-cooled, electrically isolated plates that can be moved into the beam in horizontal and vertical direction. The primary objectives of scraping system are to intercept particles with large transverse action and to protect the beamline elements and SRF linac in case of errors with beam focusing or steering. In this paper we formulate requirements for the scraping system and discuss factors affecting its efficiency. An optical design compatible with PI-Test MEBT is also presented.
