Preliminary physical and electromagnetic design for the injector of the heavy ion superconducting linac

Abstract

The Rare Isotope Science Project in Korea has developed a high current heavy ion accelerator using superconducting linacs. A normal conducting injector system was proposed to supply heavy ions to the superconducting driver linac. A beam physics and engineering design study was performed, and the beam dynamics of the injector was simulated. Optimized beam transmission and emittance were obtained from the beam dynamics simulation. Various normal conducting bunchers, such as multi-harmonic buncher, velocity equalizer, radiofrequency quadrupole, and re-bunchers, will be used and have been electromagnetically calculated.
