Pepperpot Components• Pepperpot head:

– Tungsten intercepting screen, 50m holes on 3mm pitch in 41x41 array.

– Tungsten sandwiched between 2mm/10mm copper support plates.

– Quartz scintillator images beamlets.• Camera system:

– PCO 2000 camera with 2048 x 2048 pixel, 15.3 x 15.6 mm CCD.– Firewire connection to PC.– 105 mm Micro-Nikkor macro lens.– Bellows maintains light tight path from vacuum window to

camera.• Main support:

– Head and camera mounted at either end of 1100 mm linear shift mechanism, with 700 mm stroke.

– All mounted to single 400 mm diameter vacuum flange.

“0 mm” position of pepperpot head is 57 mm downstream of cold box exit. 458 mm dynamic range means “300 mm” position is approximately 20 mm upstream of slit-slit scanners.

Mk.II Pepperpot Recent Improvements

• Completed:– Multiple calibration markings on pepperpot and profile

heads.– Sliding camera mount to improve resolution.– Larger, permanent camera-bellows mount (not

cardboard!).• To do:

– Background light replacement to improve calibration.– Support for new bellows mount.– Clamp to support sliding mount to prevent it toppling

forward.– Install new components: Tuesday 16th June?

Pepperpot Data ImageRaw data Calibration image

Colour enhanced raw data image, 60 x 60 mm2.

Calibration image: use corners of 9 mm x 9 mm square on copper plate to give image scaling, tilt and spot spacing.

Results of Position Variation

• Behaviour as expected: steady expansion in beam size along the beam axis.

• Emittances show no obvious nonlinearities; increases may be a result of space charge effects.

• Level of space charge compensation needs to be investigated with beam dynamics simulations.

• Flat top and bottom of the beam profile are likely due to collimation occurring upstream of the ion source exit.

Results of Extract Variation• Distinct change in beam shape, density distribution and emittance:

– 6 kV shows strong asymmetric divergence in both planes.– 9 kV shows mostly vertical expansion.– 13 kV is nearly symmetric and slightly collimated.– 17 kV dominated by collimation.

• A number of factors contribute to changes:– Upstream collimation.– Change in extract potential: changes shape of field within extract

region, and affects shape of discharge plasma.– Increase in extract potential also requires change in 90° sector

magnet current: change focussing effect of fringe fields.– Decrease in post-acceleration voltage means transverse

focussing from fringe fields within post-acceleration gap will change.

Conclusions

• First results already promising.• Detailed research program under discussion:

start with categorising scintillator.• Clear comparison between scintillator and

pepperpot measurements: calibration markings should allow precise correlation between the two.

• Quality of results should improve with latest modifications.

• Lots of data to take…
