	Funding: This work has been supported by the European Union ¿NextGenerationEU program The ISOLDE Superconducting Recoil Separator (ISRS) is a proposal of building a very compact separator ring as an instrument in the HIE-ISOLDE facility. The injection of the HIE-ISOLDE beam into this ring requires a more compact bunch structure, so a Multi-Harmonic Buncher device is proposed for this task. The MHB will operate at a frequency of 10.128 MHz, which is a 10% of the linac frequency, and would be installed before the RFQ. The MHB is desgined as a two electrodes system, and the MHB signal, composed for the first four harmonics of the fundamental frequency, is fed into the electrodes that are connected to the central conductor of a coaxial waveguides. The full design of the MHB is presented, including electromagnetic optimization of the electrode shape, optimization of the weights of each of the harmonic contribution, mechanical and thermal design of the structure. The RF generation and electronics to power up the device are also presented. A solution that generates directly the composed signal andis then amplified by a solid state power amplifier is also presented in this contribution.

THAFP10	Stripline Design of a Fast Faraday Cup for the Bunch Length Measurement at ISOLDE-ISRS	426
	S. Varnasseri, I. Bustinduy, P.J. González, R. Miracoli, J.L. Muñoz ESS Bilbao, Zamudio, Spain
	In order to measure the bunch length of the beam after Multi Harmonic Buncher (MHB) of ISOLDE Superconducting Recoil Separator (ISRS) and characterize the longitudinal structure of bunches of MHB, installation of a Fast Faraday Cup (FFC) is foreseen. Several possible structures of the fast faraday cup are studied and due to timing characteristics of the beam, a microstrip design is selected as the first option. The beam is collected on the biased collector of the microstrip with a matched impedance and transferred to the RF wideband amplification system. The amplified signal then can be analyzed on the wideband oscilloscope or acquisition system to extract the bunch length and bunch timing structure with precision. The design of the microstrip FFC and primary RF measurement of the prototype are discussed in this paper.

THBP01	ESS-Bilbao RFQ Power Coupler: Design, Simulations and Tests	433
	I. Bustinduy, A. Conde, D. Fernández-Cañoto, N. Garmendia, P.J. González, G. Harper, A. Kaftoosian, J. Martin, J.L. Muñoz ESS Bilbao, Zamudio, Spain A.P. Letchford STFC/RAL/ISIS, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom
	ESS-Bilbao RFQ power coupler is presented. The RFQ operates at 352.2 MHz and will accelerate the 32 mA proton beam extracted from the ion source up to 3.0MeV. The RFQ will complete the ESS-Bilbao injector, that can be used by the ARGITU neutron source or as a stand-alone facility. The machining of the RFQ is finished, and vacuum tests as well as low power RF measurements have been carried out. The presented power coupler is a first iteration of the device, designed to be of easier and faster manufacturing than what might be needed for future upgrades of the linac. The coupler does not have active cooling and no brazing has been needed to assemble it. It can operate at the RF power required by the RFQ but at lower duty cycles. The dielectric window is made of polymeric material, so it can withhold the assembly using vacuum seals and bolts. Design and manufacturing issues are reported in the paper, as well as the RF tests that have been carried out at medium power. Multipacting calculations compared to measured values during conditioning are also reported. High power tests of the coupler have also been performed in the ISIS-FETS RFQ and are also described here.

THBP03	ESS-Bilbao RFQ Static Tuning Algorithm and Simulation	440
	J.L. Muñoz, I. Bustinduy, A. Conde, N. Garmendia, P.J. González, J. Martin, V. Toyos ESS Bilbao, Derio, Spain
	The ESS-Bilbao RFQ operates at 352.2 MHz. The machining of the four RFQ segments has finished and the assembly and tuning operations will follow shorly. The static tuning and field flatness are provided by an array of 60 plunger tuners, distributed along the 3.2 meters length of the structure. There are four tuners per segment per quadrant, except for one of the segments where the ports are used by the power couplers. A bead-pull setup will provide the measurements of the field profiles, that will be collected in a matrix built up with the contributions of individual tuners. The conventional approach of inverting the matrix to get the optimum tuners distribution is explored, as well as additional optimization method. Particularly, a genetic optimization algorithm provides a very succesful tuning of the RFQ. The solution provided by this approach will be used as the initial configuration of the tuners before the bead-pull measurements are carried out. Additionally, static and dynamic tuning of the RFQ is studied by high performance computing simulations of the RFQ. The analysis of the in-house computational electromagnetics suite used for these tasks is also discussed in this paper.

THBP57	A Novel RF Power Source for the ESS-Bilbao Ion Source	621
	S. Masa, I. Bustinduy, P.J. González, A. Kaftoosian, L.C. Medina, R. Miracoli, S. Varnasseri ESS Bilbao, LEIOA, Spain
	This paper presents the improvements in the ESS Bilbao Proton Ion Source by replacing the amplified radio frequency (RF) pulse of a Klystron-based amplification system using a Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA). This new amplification system is based on a 1kW SSPA (2.7 GHz), a Compact-RIO (cRIO) device, a voltage-controlled RF attenuator and auxiliary electronics. The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) serves as distributed control system (DCS) for controlling and monitoring the data required to achieve a 1.5 ms flat and stable pulse at repetition rate of 14 Hz. The following lines describe the structural and control system changes done in the ion source due to the addition of the SSPA-based amplification system, along with the results of the proton beam extraction tests that demonstrate how this system can serve as a viable substitute for the Klystron-based amplification system.

FRC1I1	The Beam Destinations for the Commissioning of the ESS High Power Normal Conducting Linac	643

	At the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund (Sweden), the commissioning of the high-power normal conducting linac started in 2018. This paper deals with the beam destinations for the commissioning phases with initially the proton source and LEBT, then the MEBT and lately four DTL sections. The beam destinations were designed to withstand the ESS commissioning beam modes (with proton current up to 62.5mA, pulse length up to 50E-6s and repetition rates up to 14Hz). The EPICS-based control system allows measurements of the proton current and pulse length in real-time; it controls the motion and the power suppliers, and it also monitors the water cooling systems. Special focus will be on the results of thermo-mechanical simulations in MCNP/ANSYS to ensure safe absorption and dissipation of the volumetric power-deposition. The devices’ materials were chosen not only to cope with the high-power proton-beam, but also to be vacuum-compatible, to minimize the activation of the beam destinations themselves and the residual dose nearby. The results of neutronics simulations will be summarized with special focus on the shielding strategy, the operational limits and relocation procedures.
