Abstract
The RAON is the name of the heavy ion accelerator facility under construction in Korea that
includes the In-flight Fragment (IF) and Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) facilities to support
cutting-edge research in various science fields. The superconducting linac is the driver for the IF
facility that can accelerate beams from proton to uranium with 200 MeV/u, 400 kW (for uranium
beam). A 70-MeV, 1-mA H
−
cyclotron is the driver for the ISOL facility and is followed by a
post-accelerator consisting of s superconducting linac that can accelerate rare-isotope (RI) beams
and deliver them to experimental halls. These facilities provide high-intensity stable ion and rare
isotope (RI) beams for domestic and international users. In this paper, design and prototyping
efforts for the RAON accelerator systems are presented.
