Description
The Korea Multipurpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) has been operating a 100 MeV Proton Linear Accelerator (Linac) since 2013, supporting various research and industrial applications by providing proton beams to users through four regularly used beam lines. In addition to these, a neutron beam line has completed pilot operations and is set to begin user services. In parallel, maintenance and replacement of aging equipment, including Radio Frequency Quadrupole and Drift Tubes, are underway. To enhance beam diagnostic techniques, we conducted beam physics studies using a Beam Test Stand for beam phase space distribution measurements and space charge compensation.
An energy upgrade of the proton linear accelerator is also planned. The proposed upgrade of the 100 MeV proton lianc consists of the 200 MeV linac section, two beam lines and target rooms, building expansion, and utility upgrade.
This paper discusses our recent progress and the upgrade plans for the KOMAC linac.
