An adjustable focusing system for a 2 MeV H- ion beam line based on permanent magnet quadrupoles
A compact adjustable focusing system for a 2 MeV H- RFQ Linac is designed,
constructed and tested based on four permanent magnet quadrupoles (PMQ). A PMQ
model is realised using finite element simulations, providing an integrated
field gradient of 2.35 T with a maximal field gradient of 57 T/m. A prototype
is constructed and the magnetic field is measured, demonstrating good agreement
with the simulation. Particle track simulations provide initial values for the
quadrupole positions. Accordingly, four PMQs are constructed and assembled on
the beam line, their positions are then tuned to obtain a minimal beam spot
size of (1.2 x 2.2) mm^2 on target. This paper describes an adjustable PMQ beam
line for an external ion beam. The novel compact design based on commercially
available NdFeB magnets allows high flexibility for ion beam applications.Comment: published in JINST (4th Feb 2013
