International Conference on Science and Technology for FAIR in Europe 2014

An UNILAC-upgrade program will be realized until FAIR commissioning starts, providing for the high heavy ion beam currents as required for the FAIR project. A new ion source terminal and a low energy beam line are dedicated to increase the primary low charge uranium beam intensity. Additionally an injector (HSI) upgrade programme is scheduled to improve beam transmission as well as beam...

Almost all modern linacs include a Radio-Frequence Quadrupole (RFQ) as a dedicated section for the bunching of continuous beam and simultaneous pre-acceleration of the ions. Generally an RFQ has a strong influence on the beam quality and a performance of the whole facility. Therefore, proper design of the accelerating-focusing RFQ channel, as well as a correct beam matching to an RFQ...
