6D Phase Space Measurement of Low Energy, High Intensity Hadron Beam

Abstract

The goal of this project is to demonstrate a method for measuring the full six dimensional phase space of a low energy, high intensity hadron beam. This is done by combining four dimensional emittance measurement techniques along with dispersion measurement and a beam shape monitor to provide the energy and arrival time components. The measurements are performed on the new Beam Test Facility (BTF) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a 2.5 MeV functional duplicate of the SNS accelerator front end.
