Abstract:

The design studies of Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line and Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), which would be placed into injector part of linear proton accelerator for Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) project, based on beam dynamics have been presented in this study. A proton beam, which has a current between 10-60 mA, will be accelerated up to 3 MeV under favour of these two structures. In the study, the 2D and 3D electromagnetic structure designs of the RFQ has also be done in addition to beam dynamics design. The LEBT line, which is another part of the proton linac, is planned to include two solenoid magnets. In the beam dynamics simulation, performed for this part, magnetic fields of the solenoids have been optimized. Simulation softwares, created for beam dynamics and electromagnetic structure design and named as LIDOS.RFQ, PATH MANAGER, SUPERFISH and CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS), have been used for the all designs. Because these two structures are planned to place consecutively in envisaged proton accelerator, compatibility of beam parameters of the two structure was the figure of merit during the simulations.
