Notes:
A high-current, proton linear accelerator, named as Korean multipurposed accelerator (KOMAC), is being proposed mainly for accelerator-driven transmutation technology (ADTT) by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). High-current, low emittance continuous power (cw) linear accelerators favor electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) microwave ion sources as an injector (Ref. 〈citeref RID="R1" STYLE="ONLINE"〉1). Recently, these microwave sources are developed and constructed by several institutes especially for high-current cw linear accelerators. A high-density microwave ion source has been designed and constructed as a prototype ion source for the proposed KOMAC linear accelerator. The design of microwave power injection system is similar to that of the 75 keV proton injector at Los Alamos National Laboratory (Ref. 〈citeref RID="R2" STYLE="ONLINE"〉2). A 2.45 GHz, 1.5 kW magnetron source is introduced into the stainless steel plasma chamber with 10 cm diam and 20 cm length through a tapered, double-ridged waveguide and a quartz window. The microwave power supply is separated from the plasma chamber by a high-voltage waveguide break. Axial magnetic fields up to 1 kG can be provided by two sets of water-cooled solenoid coils. A single-hole extraction system is designed for extraction current up to 50 mA at 50 kV extraction voltage. The design and initial operations of the ion source in ECR regimes will be presented. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
