PIGMI technology. [100-. mu. A, 650-MeV p]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6609578
The accelerator technologies relevant to the design of a medically practical pion generator for medical irradiations (PIGMI) have been identified and developed. A base-case design for PIGMI is presented here. The accelerator portion of the PIGMI facility consists of an injector, an rf quadrupole linac structure, a drift-tube linac structure, a coupled-cavity linac structure, 1 440-MHz rf system, six 1320-MHz rf systems, and a control and instrumentation system. Each of these components is described in some detail. A 100-..mu..A, 650-MeV proton beam is anticipated. 24 figures, 2 tables. (RWR)
