Diagnosing the ion beam on the Applied-B diode

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5588544

A variety of diagnostics measure the ion beam parameters from the Applied-B diode on the PBFA-I accelerator. New hanger dB/dt monitors measure the voltage in the diode feeds. The total proton charge is measured by Li/Cu activation. A Rutherford-scatterer, Thomson parabola particle analyzer measures approximately 50% of the ion current as carbon and oxygen ions from the epoxy-filled grooved anodes. The microscopic divergence of the proton beam is 15 and 25 milliradians HWHM in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, as measured by a Rutherford-scattering camera.
