Implementation of the proton beam instrumentation into the proton beam instrumentation plug

Abstract

The 5 MW proton beam to be delivered to the ESS spallation target must be tuned to its nominal value and controlled at all times. To achieve this, a suite of beam diagnostics has been proposed and is currently been designed. It is located in two plugs, the Proton Beam Window (PBW) plug and the Proton Beam Instrumentation Plug (PBIP). Here we present the design concept for the PBIP imposed by the beam physics requirements as well as by the high power target environment, i.e. material lifetime, remote handling and waste management.
