Linear-circular proton accelerator with energy 0.8 GeV based on a rectangular cavity with E110 wave

Abstract

We consider acceleration of protons in a cavity with such dimensions as length l = 10 m, width b = 20 m, height a = 1.01 m, located between two bending (180)degree magnets with isochronous magnetic field. The cavity is loaded with rows of drift plates (tubes), being excited by a wave of E110 type at the frequency fo = 148.5 MHz, excitation power P1 = 5.65 MW. Additionally, the cavity is fed with the power P2 = 8 MW, transmitted into a beam of protons with such parameters as the final energy 0.8 GeV, pulse beam current I = 10 mA, pulse width 25 microseconds, repetition rate 10 Hz. We discuss the possibility of creating a pulsed neutron source with the intensity In = 3e14 neutrons /s on the basis of such an accelerator.
