A Diagnostics Setup for Low-Energy Beam Characterization at the Injector of the S-DALINAC* — •Adrian Brauch, Michaela Arnold, Joachim Enders, Norbert Pietralla, and Simon Weih — Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany

A new superconducting reduced-beta capture cavity will be installed at the injector of the superconducting Darmstadt electron linear accelerator (S-DALINAC [1]). For a successful operation of the upgraded injector, detailed knowledge of beam-parameters upstream the capture section is crucial. Therefore, a vertical diagnostics beamline is currently being installed. Capable of transverse and longitudinal beam parameter measurements, the setup will be used to characterize the beams from the thermionic and polarized electron guns. With the anticipated diagnostics data we aim at an acceleration in the superconducting injector linac optimized with respect to energy spread and both longitudinal and transverse beam quality. This contribution introduces the general layout of the diagnostics beamline, the current status, and the design of a transverse deflecting cavity which is planned to be installed for bunch length measurements.
