Description
The proton accelerator, operational since 2013, has consistently achieved over 3,000 annual operating hours, providing 100 MeV proton beams to users. Increased demand from the semiconductor industry for testing and evaluation necessitates an energy upgrade to 200 MeV, aiming to enhance performance and support advanced materials industries.
The design for this extended linac is based on a normal-conducting separated-drift tube linac (SDTL) structure, chosen for its efficiency within limited space, including some building extension. The SDTL design maintains the DTL structural configuration without quadrupole magnets, utilizing a doublet focusing structure between tanks instead.
Preliminary beam dynamics studies compared 5-cell and 6-cell SDTL options, considering space constraints. This paper presents the beam dynamics results, providing insights into the feasibility of an efficient SDTL configuration for the 200 MeV upgrade.
