Abstract
One of the goals of the Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP) is to construct a 100-MeV proton accelerator. A 3-MeV radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) has been designed, fabricated and installed and is being tested at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) site as a front-end system for the 100-MeV accelerator. The RF power set point should be determined during the initial tests of the RFQ to operate the machine properly. We determined the RF set point by comparing the measured output beam current of the RFQ with the calculated results. By measuring only the accelerated beam current, this method provides a direct method for determining of the RF set point with less ambiguity or complexity compared with other methods. The results showed that the determined set point was about 4 % higher than the designed one.
