Development of an SCRFQ heavy-ion linac for RI beams

Abstract

A split coaxial RFQ (SCRFQ) is being developed to accelerate RI beams from 1 to 170 keV/u in the Japanese Hadron Project (JHP). Our SCRFQ is equipped with modulated vanes. On the basis of the studies on a cold model and a proton accelerating one, a 25.5-MHz prototype for the JHP SCRFQ has been constructed. The prototype consisting of three module-cavities is 2.1 m in length and 0.9 m in inner diameter, and accelerates ions with a charge-to-mass ratio (q/A) greater than 1/30 from 1 to 45.4 keV/u. The measured unloaded Q-value of the cavity is 6400 corresponding to about 84% of a calculated value, and the field imbalance between vanes is within {+-}0.6%. The designed intervane voltage of 109 kV for ions with q/A = 1/30 is achieved with a 70 kW peak power. By using ions of three species N{sub 2}{sup +}, N{sup +} and Ne{sup +}, acceleration tests are conducted. The transmission efficiency attained with a N{sup +} beam is better than 80% at normalized intervane voltages higher than 1.2. (author).
