Description

The Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments (RAON) is designed as a multi-purpose accelerator facility capable of delivering exotic rare isotope beams over a wide range of energies. It can accelerate ions from hydrogen (protons) to uranium and produce various rare isotope beams through an isotope separator on-line (ISOL) system. The RAON injector and the low-energy superconducting linac (SCL3) were successfully commissioned in 2022 and 2023, respectively, to characterize the beam parameters from the major technical systems and to identify optimized setpoints and matching conditions. In this paper, we present the current beam-commissioning status of the RAON injector and superconducting accelerator.
