Abstract

It is desired to measure the effectiveness of the LEBT (low energy beta transport) chopper system. Since this chopper is required to chop the H- beam to a 1% level, it is, therefore, required to accurately measure the beam during the chop. A system is developed with a high dynamic range that can both accurately measure the beam to tune the chopper system as well as provide an input to the MPS (machine protection system) to stop the beam in the event of a chopper system failure. A system description, beam based calibration, and beam measurements are included.
