Design of identical cavity coupled-cavity drift tube linac (CCDTL) tanks

If the identical cavity tanks are applied to coupled-cavity drift tube linac (CCDTL) structure in a proton linac, the fabrication and tuning procedures of the CCDTL will be simplified, and the cost of the linac construction can be reduced. In this paper new definition of particle dynamics coefficients is introduced, a design method of identical cavity CCDTL tanks is discussed, some calculation results are presented.
