摘要
The longitudinal acceptance of the Spallation Neutron Source superconducting linac is computed with a longitudinal model. A beam current monitor and beam loss monitors are utilized in a new beam acceptance measurement technique, and the measured results show close agreement with the model. Based on the simulations and on the measurements of the superconducting linac acceptance, we developed a novel method to measure beam bunch shape, beam energy profile, and the longitudinal emittance at the entrance of the linac. The experimental measurements reveal that a large longitudinal beam halo exists in the injected beam to the superconducting linac, and the longitudinal rms emittance is approximately twice that of the nominal design. The simple measurement method is applicable to other superconducting linacs.
