APROTONACCEIERA TIK MODEL OF URANIUM RFQ

A split coaxial RFQ with modulated vanes has been developed for the acceleration of very heavy ions, like uranium ions. In order to achieve the easy assembling of vanes and the mechanical stability of the structure, a multi-module cavity structure is employed. A proton accelerating model is under construction to evaluate the overall performance of the multi-module split coaxial RFQ. This model consists of four-module cavities which is about 2 m in total length and 0.4 m in diameter. The model can accelerate protons from 2 to 60 keV at an rf frequency of 50 MHz.
