We offer to your attention a preprint “Ion beam positioning and position stabilisation system for EG-5 accelerator” P9-2023-50 issued by the JINR Publishing Department. The authors are Vyacheslav Semenov et al.

As part of the project of modernisation of the EG-5 accelerator, the authors of the report, based on 4 current sensors and an electromagnetic deflection system, developed an automated system for positioning and stabilising the position of the ion beam (ASPSIB) in the ion pipe of the electrostatic accelerator (ESA) EG-5.

Calculations, modeling of processes in electrical circuits, and tests on an optical model were carried out.

The principle of operation of the system, main elements, modeling results and proposals for the development of this option are considered.

The study has been performed at the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics.
