Description
Summary:The High-Intensity Low-Beta Ion Linear Accelerator (HILBILAC) is developed for application in the initial part of the CW proton accelerator for the transmutation. The accelerator uses a high-efficiency compact accelerating resonator located inside a superconducting focusing solenoid. The results of calculations of the accelerator section with 3 MeV energy and 250 mA beam current are presented along with some results of the experimental study. The accelerator offers good capture of injected beam to the acceleration, very low radio-frequency power loss (10 times lesser than known RFQ accelerators), and a low peak electrical field in the resonator (2-3 times lesser than RFQ). The HILBILAC Pulse Prototype with 1.9 MeV energy and 250 mA pulse current has been designed, the systems of the accelerator are mounted and adjusted.
