Development of a low-energy beam transport system at KBSI heavy-ion accelerator

摘要

The Korea Basic Science Institute has developed a heavy ion accelerator for fast neutron radiography. To meet the requirements for fast neutron generation, we have developed an accelerator system that consists of an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECR-IS), low-energy beam transport (LEBT) system, radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ), medium-energy beam transport system, and drift tube linac. In this paper, we present the development of the LEBT system as a part of the heavy ion accelerator system, which operates from the ECR-IS to the RFQ entrance.
