6D PHASE SPACE MEASUREMENT OF LOW ENERGY, HIGH INTENSITY HADRON BEAM

The goal of this project is to demonstrate a method for measuring the full six dimensional phase space of a low energy, high intensity hadron beam. This is done by combining four dimensional emittance measurement techniques along with dispersion measurement and a beam shape monitor to provide the energy and arrival time components. The measurement will be performed on the new Beam Test Facility (BTF) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a 2.5 MeV functional duplicate of the SNS accelerator front end.
