Description

China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) upgrade project (CSNS-II) started in 2024. As the first important task, the injection section will be redesigned and a lot of beam instruments will be installed along the injection to I-Dump beam line. The H0 beam intensity at the downstream of the stripping foil is several microampere during the normal operation, while the proton beam intensity at the I-dump may be over 80mA during the commissioning of linac and RCS. A corresponding design of the ACCT sensor and electronics is introduced in this paper. There are two nanocrystalline cores in H0CT, providing two different turns ratio for the large dynamic range beam intensity measurement. The gain of the electronics is switchable in two ranges. The INDCT is equipped with only one core and the electronics design is aiming to a high SNR for the injected proton beam power evaluation. Tests in the lab showed a good linearity of the H0CT and INDCT sensors with the electronics. Beam commissioning of the injection section is planned in October of 2025.
