A 100-MeV high-intensity (20 mA CW) proton linac is being built in the KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Reserach Institute), Korea. Beam diagnostic system for the machine require to include BCMs (Beam Current Monitors), BPPMs (Beam Position and Phase Monitors), and other devices. BCMs are of special importance for high-intensity proton linacs, since the control of beam loss is critical. They should have high stability and resolution better than 5E-4. BPPMs are for measuring beam position and phase (w.r.t RF) simultaneously, that are crucial for the successful commissioning and operation of the accelerator. All diagnostic devices are required to operate both in CW and pulsed (several ms) modes. Pulsed mode operation is useful when machine tuning and commissioning. In this article, we report the developmental status of beam diagnostic devices for the KOMAC accelerator, with detailed description on the BPPM PU design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
