Abstract :
Funneling is a method used to increase the brightness of ion beams by filling all RF buckets in order to use the full current transport capability of an RF accelerator by frequency jumps at higher energies. This has been proposed for HIIF (heavy ion inertial fusion) type drivers and neutron sources. A simple funneling experiment was prepared using modest fields in a setup with a 50 keV proton beam and an rf deflector to study especially emittance growth effects in such funneling lines. First results are reported.<>
