Abstract
A compact neutron source using a particle accelerator is a promising tool for material analysis, infrastructural diagnostics, fissile material detection, and medical applications. For non-destructive, on-site inspection of the degradation of aged concrete and steel reinforcement it is essential to develop a light and compact neutron source system. To design a more compact RFQ linac for a transportable neutron source, we developed a 500 MHz RFQ linac.In this paper the design of a 500 MHz RFQ linac for a compact neutron source is described. First, using beam tracking simulation software, we designed the cell parameters of the 500 MHz RFQ linac, which can accelerate a proton beam from 30 keV to 2.49 MeV. Then, using three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation software and multiphysics simulation software, we optimized the cavity design of the 500 MHz RFQ linac, and investigated the thermal properties of the cavity with the cooling channels.
