Development of a new IHQ linac (construction and acceleration of 2 MeV prototype linac)

The characteristics of an interdigital-H-type linac structure with focusing finger electrodes (IHQ) have been studied. A prototype IHQ linac was designed to accelerate protons from 0.8 to 2.0 MeV at an operating frequency of 101.5 MHz. The geometrical dimensions of the linac tank are 54 cm in inner diameter and 92 cm in length. The linac has been constructed and has successfully accelerated beams.<
