Description

We are studying a heavy-ion IH (Interdigital H) linear accelerator for injector of cancer therapy synchrotron. The compact IH linac accelerates C4''+ ion from 65keV/u to 6MeV/u with APF (Alternating Phase Focus) structure was designed for practical use. In this approach, prototype linac, which tests whether it can accelerate enough beam current form low energy adopting APF structure, was designed. We made real scale model cavity of this linac by numerical orbit calculation and measured its RF characteristics. Using the results of these measurements, conclusive design of this linac is determined. The linac is under construction. (author)
