A Residual Gas Monitor (RGM) developed at GANIL was tested with pulsed and
CW proton beams at currents up to 1 mA at SARAF Phase I. Response of the
detector as a function of beam current and duty cycle was measured. Beam
profiles were measured at different beam size and position values and
compared with measurements performed with a multi-wire grid profiler.
Influence of the low-energy beam transfer (LEBT) optical settings on intense
CW beams was studied for the first time. The obtained data enabled a better
analysis and understanding of the current ramp-up process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
