Abstract :
In order to define the optical parameters of a slowly extracted beam at the entrance of the extraction channel and to realize optical matching with the beam line, the outgoing separatrix was measured at HIMAC. Modifying the lattice parameters of the ring model according to the measurement result, the simulation result makes it possible to predict the optical parameters at the extraction channel. As a result, it was experimentally verified that optical matching of the slowly extracted beam with the transport line was realized. The measured beam size and dispersion functions were in good agreement with the calculation result at each monitor in the transport line. Particle tracking also predicts the beam profile at each profile monitor in the beam line. Further, a quasi-parallel beam was demonstrated by changing the beam optics in the beam line.
