The Frankfurt Funneling Experiment — •Jan Thibus, Ulrich Bartz, Norbert Müller, Alwin Schempp, and Holger Zimmermann — Institut für Angewandte Physik, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Robert-Mayer-Str. 2-4, D-60054 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Funneling is a procedure to multiply beam currents at low energies which is required for the proposed new high current accelerator facilities like HIDIF or ESS. Funneling can be done using several stages in which multiple beams are merged to a common beam axis. Thus very high energies and beam currents can be achieved. The main goal is to keep the emittance nearly unchanged. The Frankfurt Funneling Experiment consists of two ion sources, a Two-Beam RFQ accelerator, two different funneling deflectors and a beam diagnostic equipment system. The whole set-up is scaled in He⁺ instead of Bi⁺ of the first funneling stage of a HIIF driver. The progress of our experiment and the results of the simulations will be presented.
