RESULTS OF THE STRIPPING FOIL MEASUREMENTS LINAC4 WEEK 36 & 48 2020

The 160 MeV H− beam from the Linac4 (L4) linear accelerator at CERN will be injected into the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) with a new H− charge-exchange injection system. It includes a stripping foil, to convert H− into protons by stripping off the electrons. To gain experience with these very f...

Sumario:The 160 MeV H− beam from the Linac4 (L4) linear accelerator at CERN will be injected into the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) with a new H− charge-exchange injection system. It includes a stripping foil, to convert H− into protons by stripping off the electrons. To gain experience with these very fragile foils and test different foil materials and thicknesses, lifetimes of the foils, the foil changing mechanism and interlocking functions, a stripping foil test stand is installed in the Linac4 transfer line. This paper describes the results of measurements done in week 36 & 48 2020.
