New Beam Line Design of TRIAC as a Stable Heavy-Ion Accelerator at KAERI

KEK (High Energy Accelerator Research Organization) TRIAC (Tokai Radioactive Ion Accelerator Complex) was a radioactive isotope accelerator which can provide beams of uranium fission fragments with the maximum energy of 1.1 MeV/nucleon produced by protons of 30 MeV and 1 μA (30 W in beam power, actually deposited in the production target) from the JAEA Tandem Accelerator. Because of the critical limitations in the reaccelerated energy and intensity of available RIBs (Radioactive ion beams), TRIAC considered an upgrade program seriously, but it was canceled. Finally the complex had been closed at the end of 2010, and it was transferred to KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) after being disassembled to promote a new availability in Korea. KAERI team has a plan to reassemble this device as a stable ion beam accelerator with a minimized change for the low energy beam line including the ion source and the target system. The new stable ion accelerator will be used not only for the basic research but also for the application of heavy ion beams. Before the reassembling of TRIAC at KAERI, new layout of the beam line should be designed, and checked by beam optics simulation. The operation conditions and beam optics characteristics of the new beam line components can be understood with this simulation. The works that should be done before reassembling as a new machine have been done in this study. The beam optics calculations were preferentially carried out with arbitrary order beam physics code COSY INFINITY (COSY) or beam envelope code TRANSPORT
