Commissioning of Ih-RFQ and Ih-DTL for the Gsi High Current Linac

英文摘要：

The new 1.4 MeV/u front end HSI (HochStromInjektor) of the Unilac accelerates ions with A/q ratios of up to 65 and with beam intensities in emA of up to 0.25 A/q. The maximum beam pulse power is up to 1300 kW. During the stepwise linac commissioning from April to Septem-ber 1999 the beam behind of each cavity was analysed within two weeks. A very stable Ar1+ beam out of a vol-ume plasma source MUCIS was used mainly. The meas-ured norm. 80 % emittance areas around 0.45 pi mm mrad are close to the results from beam simulations. Up to 80 % of the design intensity at the linac exit were achieved. In February 2000 an U4+ beam from the MEVVA source was accelerated for the first time.
