Recent R&D progress of the RAON injector

Abstract

The injector for the main driver linac of the Rare Isotope Science Project in Korea has been developed to supply heavy ions up to uranium which will be used for the inflight fragmentation system. The injector has two critical components, superconducting electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources and a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ). The physical and engineering designs of these critical components were performed. Prototypes of the 28 GHz ECR ion source and the vane-type RFQ have been fabricated and tested to confirm the design of the major components.
