The requested Ion Beam Diagnostic components that are to be added to beamlines of an existing 3 MV tandem particle accelerator system, designed and constructed by HVE, for AMS measurements at the A.E. Lalonde national facility for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. The components need to be either integrated with the existing supervisory control of the AMS system or provided with a separate supervisory control system.
The purpose of adding diagnostic equipment is to facilitate tuning of optical elements for the transport (bending, focussing) of the relevant ion beams. That way, optimal conditions can be found for accurate determinations of isotope abundance ratios in a more straightforward manner.
STATEMENT OF WORK
1 - Background
-
- Requirements-Specifications and Environment
A- Two (2) Faraday Cup (FC):
- Remotely retractable
- Water cooled
- Electron suppressed
- Rated for 1 kW of beam power
- UHV compatible
- with ISO flanges
Control and readout of the above items must either interfacing directly with the existing proprietary system built by HVE that allows FCs to be added or an autonomous / independent system for remote operation and readout with a (2 nA - 20 mA), 5.5-digit pico-ammeter
B- Two (2) Beam Profile Monitor (BPM):
- Sensitivity: minimum beam current density ≲10 nA/cm2
- Minimal interruption of beam
- Local pre-amplification
- Remotely On-Off switched
- Calibrated to ≲1 mm beam-position accuracy
- UHV compatible with ISO flanges
Control and readout of the above items must either interfacing directly with the existing proprietary system built by HVE that allows BPMs to be added or an autonomous / independent system for remote operation and readout with synchronized display on a 2-channel, 70 MHz, 1 GS/s oscilloscope
C- All components should be compatible with 220-240 V, 60 Hz mains voltage.
