Determining Phase-Space Properties of the LEDA RFQ Output Beam
W. P. Lysenko, J. D. Gilpatrick, L. J. Rybarcyk +4
Quadrupole scans were used to characterize the LEDA RFQ beam. Experimental data were fit to computer simulation models for the rms beam size. The codes were found to be inadequate…
The Beam Halo Experiment at the LEDA Facility
P. L. Colestock, T. Wangler, C. K. Allen +6
Due to the potentially adverse effects of the generation of halo particles in intense proton beams, it is imperative to have a clear understanding of the mechanisms that can lead t…
High Power Operations of LEDA
L. M. Young, L. J. Rybarcyk, J. D. Schneider +2
The LEDA RFQ, a 350-MHz continuous wave (CW) radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ), successfully accelerated a 100-mA CW proton beam from 75 keV to 6.7 MeV. We have accumulated 111 hr o…
LEDA Beam Operations Milestone and Observed Beam Transmission Characteristics
L. J. Rybarcyk, J. D. Schneider, H. V. Smith +2
Recently, the Low-Energy Demonstration Accelerator (LEDA) portion of the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) project reached its 100-mA, 8-hr CW beam operation milestone. LEDA…
