The RAL Front End Test Stand.
Alan Letchford
The RAL Front End Test Stand (FETS) is part of CCLRC’s contribution to generic high power accelerator R&D.
Specifically the FETS will demonstrate some key technologies associated with the front end of the next generation of spallation sources, neutrino factory, waste transmuters, tritium production …
The beginnings of FETS were in the European Spallation Source (ESS) project which identified the front end and specifically the chopper as key R&D.
CCLRC/RAL continued to support the chopper developments through HIPPI and the need for a facility for beam tests of the chopper became clear.
FETS was born and the goals extended to demonstrating front end technology for a range of future HPPAs.
Although generic in nature FETS is currently being supported as part of the proton driver studies for the UK Neutrino Factory (UKNF) and a forms the basis for possible future linac upgrades to the ISIS facility.
FETS is also directly applicable to future long and short pulse ESS scenarios.
The FETS is a collaborative effort between
CCLRC RAL ISISCCLRC ASTeC Intense Beams GroupDepartment of Physics, Imperial College LondonDepartment of Physics, University of WarwickUniversity of the Basque Country, Spain
FETS main components:•High brightness H- ion source.•Magnetic Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT).
Chopper•High current, high duty factor Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ).•Very high speed beam chopper.•Comprehensive diagnostics.
The FETS specification:
60 mA H- ion source65 keV 3 solenoid magnetic LEBT324 MHz, 3 MeV RFQHigh speed beam chopper & MEBTConventional and non-destructive diagnostics
Up to 2 ms pulse lengthUp to 50 pps rep. rate‘Perfect’ chopping
