2.4.4 Emittance Measurement Using Multiple Monitors<br />
In addition to the quadrupole scan technique, the emittance can also be mea-<br />
sured using multiple wire scanners in conjunction with multiple beam optics. The<br />
latter method is used in standard CEBAF operations to measure transverse emit-<br />
tances in the injector and in the arcs.<br />
In the injector region, a single quadrupole is scanned three times while five<br />
downstream wire scanners record the transverse beam sizes. A chicane used to<br />
merge the injected beam into the main linac provides a region of dispersion where<br />
the energy spread can be measured in addition to the emittance.<br />
For the emittance measurement in the arcs, an insertable dump was used to<br />
intercept the beam prior to re-entry into the north linac. In this way only the<br />
accelerating pass is transported in arc 1 and the emittance is readily measured<br />
using standard CEBAF procedures. The measurement uses two wire scanners in<br />
each arc. One wire scanner is located in a region of zero dispersion and used to<br />
extract the emittance, while the second is located downstream in a region of high<br />
dispersion and used to measure the energy spread. The method requires varying the<br />
quadrupoles between a location upstream of the wire scanners where the emittance<br />
will be measured (referred to as the fit point) and the first wire scanner. To ensure<br />
a good measurement, two primary criteria must be satisfied; first, the emittance<br />
measurement must be done in a region of zero dispersion and second, the matrix that<br />
defines the transport between the location of the fit point to the wire scanners must<br />
be well known. A scheme to measure the emittance and energy spread of the second<br />
pass beam proved to be too difficult. Hence the only quantitative measurement of<br />
