Typical scheme for the front end
For a H+ front end, ECRIS are now the preferredsolution and allow to reach a few 10s to more than100 mA with a good emittance (< 0.2πµrad).A LEBT line is used to match the beam into the RFQ.It can also be used to pulse the beam with a slowchopper (r. t. of ∼ 100 ns) instead of pulsing thesource (r. t. of ∼ 2 ms). Monitoring diagnostics aresometimes inserted (CCD cams, DCCT).The RFQ creates the bunch structure etpre-accelerates the beam up to a few MeV.

Theoretical basics
[Langmuir & Blodgett, Phys. Rev. 24]
[Schneider et al, PAC’07]
Let us consider first a diodesystem extractor.To model the flow of ions inthe system, L. & B. proposedto solve the Poissonequation in a system ofdelimited by concentricspheres. For obviouspratical reasons, thesolution is reduced to afinite solid angle.The limit current is then:
I = 8πε09
(2qm
)1/2∆V 3/2 1−cosθ
−α2
with α a series of thefunction log(rb/ra).

Conclusions
The current dependancy
It turns out that the geometry is linked to thecurrent and the ratio q/m for a given voltage.To illustrate, for heavy ions, it has been proposed toadjust the gap with a moveable electrode.The minimum of the divergence is then a strongfunction of q/m or I. This has to be integrated forthe current ramp up during the commissioning.

A hollow beam
Integrating spherical aberrations in the motionequation leads to solve D.E. like:
d2rdt2 = q
m
[G(z)r + G3(z)r3 + ...
]It turns out that extreme particles are more focusedand that a particular radius is more populated.Considering non linearities in the LEBT line, this pointis more advantage than a drawback.

A electron barrier electrode
[Sherman, PAC’07]
In diode system, LEBT electrons tend to go back upto the plasma electrode and may induce sparksand then voltage breakdowns.This effect can be suppressed by adding oneelectrode which is negatively polarized and asecond one at the ground to create a barrier.

A fifth electrode?
[Delferrière et al, Rev. Sci. Instr. 79]
In case of nonmoveableelectrodes, it isalso to tune theextraction with afifth intermediateelectrode.This could helpfor tuning severalcurrents or otherchangingconditions.

Optimisation with PIC codes
Several commercial codes (2D, 2.5D or 3D) can beused for extraction system optimisation: PBGUN,IGUN, AXCEL, SCALA (see below), KOBRA.

LEBT line based on electrostatic lenses
LEBT lines based on electrostatic einzel lensespermit very compact systems which can becombined with the source extraction.By splitting the lenses and playing with the differentpolarization, it is possible to provide beam steeringand fast chopping.
[Reijonen et al, LINAC’00]
Such system operatesat SNS for a H− peakcurrent of 35 mA.To compensate theeffect of the electronextractor (dipole), thesource is tilted withrespect to the LEBTaxis.

Limits
[Han & Stockli, PAC’07]
For such currents, the beam size is very closed tothe lenses apertures, this induces emittancegrowths due to the high order terms and beamlosses (sparks).If the current is greater than 100 mA, there is aconsensus that this scheme is not suitable.For the SNS power upgrade, the peak current hasto be increased up to 59 mA. It is planned to use amagnetic focusing system (better acceptance, ...).

Solenoids and space charge
The effects of S. C. and solenoid aberrations on thebeam have been investigated theoretically andexperimentally by Loschialpo et al in 1984.Due to the combined action of the nonlinear lensand the S.C., the initially uniform density becomeshollow or peaked (depending on distance).
[Loschialpo et al, J. Appl. of Phys. 57]
To cure this effect,long lenses [Bailey,EPAC’98] orcompact line toget a small beamsize are usualtechniques.

A plasma lens
If we integrate the residual gas presence (ex.: H2) in thevacuum chamber, we can get the production of pairselectrons / ions (H+
2 ) via the ionization process:
p+H2→ p+e−+H+2
we assume that χ=Nbeam/ Ngas�1 with Nbeam thebeam density.

In the early days, the injection of ions wasperformed with high voltage systems whichtypically produced continuous beam of ∼ 700 keV.
The bunch structure wasmade with one or severalbunchers. The efficiencywas between 60 to 70 %(Beijing proton linac).

The principle
RFQ was invented by Kapchinsky from ITEP in thelate 60s. Teplyakov of the same instituteconstructed a first cavity.Important contributions to the RFQ have also beenmade by the LANL (POP in 1980). Since then, thisstructure has become very popular.
The features of the RFQ are that it bunches,focuses and accelerates charged particles byusing RF fields only.

1 At the RFQ entrance, a short section which rampsthe field amplitude performs the transition static totime focusing.
2 A delicate section called “gentle buncher”bunches adiabatically the beam.
3 Once the bunch is made, it is accelerated bydecreasing the synchronous phase and rampingthe modulation factor. Sometimes, the voltage isalso increased.
4 To help the matching in the MEBT line, the length ofthe last part of the cavity (“Fringe Field Section”)can be adjusted.

The potential
A general solution of theLaplace equation whichobeys to the RFQsymmetries is detailed byWeiss in CAS proceedings[CAS 95-06].
This solution contains all the harmonics in infiniteseries but only a few harmonics are necessary towell describe a real RFQ. To facilitate the analysis,we shall consider a two terms potential:
U(r ,θ ,z) = V2
[A01r2cos2θ + A10I0(kr)cos(kz)

The transverse focusing
By linearizing the transverse field componentsderived from the previous potential (smallamplitude), the equation of motion can besimplified to the following form:
d2xdτ2 + [Bsin2πτ + ∆rf ]x = 0
with 2πτ = ωt + φ and :
B = λ 2qVmc2R2
0and ∆rf = qπ2|sinφs |A10V

At first order, the solution of this Mathieu equationis:

In the same reference, it is given the expression ofthe hamiltonian for large amplitude oscillationsfrom which it is extracted the limit of the separatrix:
∆Wmax =±√
mc2β 2s qA10V (φscosφs− sinφs) ∝ βs
It has to be noticed that adding the space chargecontribution will lead to a smaller acceptance butalso provide a smaller emittance!For the transverse plane, the mean beam size isgiven by:

Replacing by the expression for σt and settingRbeam = R0, one finds for a pure RF quadrupole(A10 = 0):

Longitudinal current limit
The same approach allows to find the longitudinalcurrent limit expression:
Il =8π3ε0cA10V |sinφs |rx ry rz
3β 2s λ 3f
If we use the approximation for f = 1/3p, assumethat:
rz ∼ 3|φs|βλ/4π
and maximize the transverse beam size rx/y ∼ R0,one can find:
Il = 3πε0cA10V |sinφs |φ2s R0
2λ
Usually, the longitudinal current limit is lower thanthe transverse one. This induces that thebottleneck in a RFQ uses to be in the longitudinalplane. But this bottleneck does not always occurat the end of the gentle buncher.

It has to be emphasized that the current limit is notthe only figure of merit in a RFQ (RF power, length,cost, ...) and the requirements for the beam losstolerance are a strong function of the duty cycle.

Resonances
The space charge couples the three planes. Thiscoupling may induce emittance exchangebetween the planes if (simple approach):
σtσl
= pq with p and q ∈ N
This exchange could be seen from different pointsof views. This could lead to a undesirableemittance growth in a particular plane or, at theopposite, a way to define it.Personal opinion: this kind of game assumes thatyou know perfectly the transverse emittance thatyou inject in the RFQ and that the space chargecoupling is well predicted in the design phase→ dangerous game.
