Transporting, manipulating, and delivering intense ion beams to produce WDM conditions in volumetric material samples requires precise control and diagnostic measurement. The NDCX-II facility will deliver ~;55nC pulses of Li+ at 2-3 MeV in a sub-nanosecond duration within a 1 mm spot radius. We report on proposed methods to determine beam energy, charge and pulse duration, beam centroid offset, transverse distribution, and target plane fluence. We discuss recent work on calorimetric methods to determine peak beam intensity on the NDCX-I facility, and on beam position monitor development at the NDCX-II induction cell test stand.

Recent changes to the NDCX beamline offer the promise of higher current compressed bunches, with correspondingly greater fluence delivered to the target plane for ion-beam driven warm dense matter experiments. We report modeling and commissioning results of the upgraded NDCX beamline that includes a new induction bunching module with approximately twice the volt-seconds and greater tuning flexibility, combined with a longer neutralized drift compression channel.
