Some criteria at DTL design for Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) linac

Abstract

Linear acceleretors (linacs) are mostly used as first step of acceleration process in the present. Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) linac of which technical design report will have been completed in 2011 has been designed for this purpose. Moreover it will provide working areas for some users on the acceleration line. Hence, design of drift tube linac (DTL) that is one of the basis components in linacs have importance. This study includes some criterias at DTL design for 350 MHz radio-frequency (RF) TAC linac as a preliminary work.
