Beam operation of the saraf light ion injector

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.
