Description

The ISIS Neutron and Muon Source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK), operated by STFC, is a pulsed spallation facility that employs a rapid‑cycling synchrotron to accelerate protons to 800 MeV before delivering them to two fixed targets at a combined repetition rate of 50 Hz. As part of an ongoing upgrade programme, a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line is being installed downstream of the RFQ in the ISIS pre‑injector to enhance injection efficiency. This work includes the transfer and adaptation of the existing ISIS Intensity Toroid Monitoring System to ensure reliable, high‑integrity signal acquisition from the toroids within the upgraded section. To achieve this, several amplifier configurations have been evaluated, and the associated electronic systems have been modified to meet the requirements of the Pre‑Injector Test Stand (PITS). Additionally, a new toroid is being designed for installation at the end of the MEBT, immediately upstream of Tank 1 in the injector. This diagnostic will be tested, integrated, and commissioned on PITS to validate the MEBT’s performance and readiness for deployment on the operational ISIS accelerator.
