Abstract :
Linac utilizes several accelerating structures operating at two frequencies. CCL and SCL operate at 805 MHz while 402.5 MHz is used for RFQ and DTL. Beam transfer from the previous part of the accelerator to the subsequent one requires careful longitudinal matching to improve beam transmission and to minimize beam losses. Longitudinal beam parameters have been investigated with the help of three Bunch Shape Monitors installed in the inter-segments of the first CCL Module. The results of bunch shape observations for different accelerator settings are presented. Longitudinal beam emittance has been measured and optimized. Longitudinal beam halo has been evaluated as well.
