Abstract :
A low-energy beam transport system is designed with the aim of transporting 30 mA, 35 kV H- beam from a volume source and focusing it into an RFQ. The characteristics of the beam from the source are determined analyzing the emittance data. The behavior of the beam through the LEBT is studied using simulation codes. The system parameters are optimized so that the LEBT has a very modest contribution to the emittance growth (here a factor of about 1.5) and the emittance budget of the linac section is maintained
