Description
Electrostatic low-energy beam transport (ELEBT) section as a part of future upgradation proposal in LINAC4 at CERN, is proposed to handle 45 keV H- ion beam with 70 mA max beam current. The design allows maximum input rms normalized emittance of 0.5 π mm mrad without significant growth. Dual einzel system is incooperated in deaccelerating-accelerating (DA) mode to control beam blow up within 70% of beam pipe aperture. The ground electrode of these einzel systems also houses radio frequency electrodes for beam chopping. It chops the beam as per requirement of upgraded radio frequency quadrupole* (RFQ). The transverse and longitudinal beam optics is studied for the full system of ELEBT + RFQ. It is also validated theoretically using multi particle beam analysis. We achieved beam transmission more than 95% with all emittances well in control. The design details with respect to field computation and beam dynamics will be presented.
