Performance test of the ECR ion sources for Hyogo Hadrontherapy Center

  • 1. Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., Niihama, Ehime (Japan)

Description

The injector for the Hyogo hadrontherapy facility, which is mainly composed of two ECR ion sources, an RFQ linac (RFQ), and a drift tube linac (DTL), was manufactured by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. The performance tests were finished successfully for the ion sources, the RFQ, and the DTL before shipment. For the ion sources, the beam intensities and emittances were measured, and sufficient performance was obtained for each ion. This paper describes the design and the performance of the ECR ion sources. (author)
