MC3.2 Ion linac projects

Invited Oral Presentation

The linear accelerator RAON consists of an injector and a superconducting linac. The injector contains two ECR ion sources and an RFQ. These ion sources produce various ions from protons (A/Q=1) to uranium (A/Q=7.2), with an energy of 10 keV/u. The RFQ accelerates these ions to an energy of 500 keV/u. The superconducting accelerator consists of two types of superconducting cavities (QWR and...

MC2.6 Other electron accelerators

Invited Oral Presentation

Observation of ultrafast structural dynamics is very important for elucidating functions and creating new materials. We have been promoting research and development of ultrafast electron microscopes by generating relativistic femtosecond electron beam pulses using radio frequency (RF) accelerator technology. So far, we have fabricated the world's first ultrafast electron microscope using a...

MC2.6 Other electron accelerators

Invited Oral Presentation

We recently demonstrated generation of very high charge (1+ nC), very high energy (10 GeV) electron bunches from a nanoparticle-assisted laser wakefield accelerator [1]. While the experiment did yield record breaking results, the statistics were quite poor due to the very slow repetition rate of the Texas Petawatt Laser system. We are currently on a campaign to repeat and improve upon these...
