- Abstract
- Radioactive ion beams produced using the isotope separation on-line method in the Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line (RAON) experiment are to be delivered with a beam emittance of around 3 pi mm mrad, an energy spread of less than 10 eV, and a short beam bunch width of around 10 mu s to meet the requirements of an electron beam ion source charge breeder. A radio frequency quadrupole cooler buncher (RFQ-CB) will be used to meet the beam quality requirements mentioned above. Our target bunching capacity of RFQ-CB is 10(8) ions/bunch for various ion species. Such a high bunching capacity requires an RF amplitude of similar to 3 kV and a frequency range of 1.5-4.5 MHz in our RFQ-CB design. We designed and tested the prototype RF system composed of a helical resonator, a high-power RF amplifier, and high-voltage probes. To reduce heat load to the high voltage probes, we employed vacuum capacitors serially connected to the ends of helical resonators. In the experiment, we confirmed that our 4.5-mu H helical resonators made of a 12-mm copper tube and variable vacuum capacitor with a capacitance range of 120-1120 pF can produce required voltages and frequencies using a 100-W RF amplifier. As a result, with 2.5-W RF output power, we obtained the maximum voltage amplitude of 1 kV at 4.5 MHz, which is equivalent to 6.4 kV with 100-W RF output power.
