Description
A third-generation continuous helical electrostatic quadrupole (HESQ) lens has been built and tested. The new HESQ is 21.5 cm long and has a 3.6 cm diameter aperture. The HESQ has been tested under two separate conditions: With a pulsed 25 keV, 0.5 mA proton beam; and a 25 keV, 10 mA proton beam. The input emittance was fixed using a multi-aperture collimator. A comparison is made between experiment and numerical simulations for a wide variety of operating conditions. A second possible operating mode is the quasi-octupole mode which offers significantly reduced aberration when compared to the quadrupole mode. The results of preliminary tests in this operating mode will be presented
