A compact high-power proton linac for radioisotope production

OSTI ID:72988
Conventional designs for proton linacs use a radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ), followed by a drift-tube linac (DTL). For higher final beam energies, a coupled cavity linac (CCL) follows the DTL. A new structure, the coupled-cavity drift-tube linac (CCDTL) combines features of an Alvarez DTL and the CCL. Operating in a {pi}/2 structure mode, the CCDTL replaces the DTL and part of the CCL for particle velocities in the range 0.1 < {beta} < 0.5. The authors present a design concept for a compact linac using only an RFQ and a CCDTL. This machine delivers a few mA of average beam current at a nominal energy of 70 MeV and is well suited for radioisotope production.
