Description
An emittance scanner is one of the most valuable diagnostic instruments available to a low-energy beam transport (LEBT) system. D-Pace licensed an Allison-type emittance scanner from TRIUMF and commercialized the design in 2013. Over the course of the subsequent 13 years, the ES-4 emittance scanner has undergone a series of incremental hardware and software upgrades aimed at improving measurement accuracy, reliability, and operational flexibility. The upgrade program included comprehensive design modifications, the development of a new 10 kW, 100 mm beam-diameter emittance scanner probe, an upgraded scanner control system, and measurement synchronization with pulsed beam operation. The upgraded scanner now provides expanded capability to accommodate more demanding beam conditions. This work summarizes the key design changes over the years and highlights the impact of the upgrades on system performance.
