55 MeV ENERGY DTL DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION FOR TAC LINEAR PROTON ACCELERATOR

Abstract

The Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) proposal is a national project and it's conceptual design report (CDR) was recently completed. It is planned that the Tecnical Design Report (TDR) of the TAC will have been written in the next three years. 1 GeV energy linear proton accelerator part of the TAC Project will be constructed before 2020. The proton linac consists of radio-frequency quadrupole linac (RFQ), drift tube linac (DTL) and coupled-cavity drift tube linac (CCDTL). In this study, 55 MeV energy DTL accelerator was designed and main parameters of the DTL accelerator was optimized by using simulation codes.
