Abstract

In beginning of 2007 the installation of the first stage of SARAF has been finalized. The system consists out of an ECR ion source, a low energy beam transport system, a four rod RFQ, a medium energy transport system and a superconducting module housing 6 half resonators and three superconducting solenoids. This injector will be characterized with a diagnostic plate. The installation allows continuous measurement of beam charge, position and phase. The diagnostic plate in addition provides a beam halo monitor, vertical and horizontal slit and wire systems, a slow and a fast faraday cup, which can only be used in pulsed operation. The paper will describe the status of commissioning and will show first measurement results.
