The initial design phase of an ion linac's front end often requires the use of several software programs, each dedicated to a specific component. These components typically include the ion source, a low-energy beam transmission line (LEBT) equipped with electromagnets, a measurement station, and finally the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). Unfortunately, many of the legacy and proven software tools in this field lack user-friendly GUIs and have significant learning curves. In this paper, we present a novel approach: a unified software solution that offers a cohesive GUI and integrates with existing legacy software. This single-software approach not only simplifies the design process but also significantly reduces the time required for design and optimization. Our method has been successfully applied to various design configurations, demonstrating its efficiency in both the learning and design phases, compared to the traditional multi-software approach. In addition, we present DemirciPRO as an illustrative implementation of our unified software approach. This software tool showcases real-world scenarios and comparisons drawn from an ongoing proton linac project. DemirciPRO offers a cohesive user interface for designing an ion source, a Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line, and, ultimately, a Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). Each module is capable of utilizing the output from the preceding one along the beamline. Furthermore, it possesses the capability to trace the trajectories of beam particles through the LEBT line using relevant transport matrices and through the RFQ using the leap-frog method.

“…When the application areas of particle accelerators are examined, especially discovery of the atomic nucleus, its importance is understood with the continuation of its development in the fields of science and technology. In our country, many activities have been carried out within the scope of accelerator technology, and studies that contribute to its development are still continuing (Sultansoy, 1993;Adıgüzel et al, 2023). Researches have also been conducted to test various radiation applications such as materials, detectors and other electronic devices interacting with protons (Bilge Demirkoz et al, 2020).…”

In this study, the changes in the performance parameters of silicon photovoltaic cells were investigated before and after irradiation. For this aim, the current-voltage and power-voltage characteristics of structures were obtained before and after irradiation. The electrical parameters were determined using obtained characteristics. High energetic (24.5 MeV) proton beam was used as the radiation source. In addition, radiation-induced displacement damages were determined using SRIM/TRIM simulations, and the effect of these damages on the photovoltaic cell was investigated. This study, which depends on the radiation hardness as a result of irradiation with protons, was important. Because the displacement damage caused changes on the electrical properties of device. This behavior was attributed to the defects generated by proton irradiation. On the other hand, it was seen that proton irradiation can be a tool for controlling the material and cell properties.

High gradient accelerator injectors have been widely studied throughout the world-leading accelerator facilities. The demand for high frequency cavities has led the Detector, Accelerator and instrumentation laboratory (KAHVELab) in Istanbul to deploy a four-vane Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) operating at 800 MHz to accelerate 20 keV protons to 2 MeV. The protons from the microwave discharge ion source are transversely matched to the RFQ via an optimized Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line which also contains an integrated measurement station, called measurement station (MBOX). The MBOX is used to measure the proton beam's current along with pulse length duration, profile as well as the beam emittance upstream of the RFQ. It contains a number of home-built diagnostic tools: a Faraday cup, a scintillator screen and a pepper pot plate (PP). The analysis software is also locally developed and tested for the PP photo analysis. In this note, the design, construction and tests of the integrated measurement station are discussed. The results from various measurements, especially on beam profile and charge, are compared to the simulation predictions.
