Designing a test facility LEBT for RISP

Abstract

Raon, the rare isotope accelerator of the Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) in Daejeon, South Korea, is being designed to accelerate multiple-charge-state beams simultaneously. Using an Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) Ion Source to produce the ions, Raon will transport the beam through two 90-degree bending magnets and a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) system to a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). A test facility is under development to test the components of the injector and LEBT system. A new LEBT, based upon the LEBT of the main driver linac, is being designed to fit within the test facility’s restrictive space requirements. This work will briefly review the main driver linac LEBT design, and then discuss the current status of the test facility LEBT design. © 2015, The Korean Physical Society
