Design of the RAON Accelerator Systems

Abstract

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