Abstract

A heavy ion linac complex for unstable nuclei is under construction at INS. The linac complex consists of a 25.5-MHz split coaxial RFQ (SCRFQ), a charge-stripper section and a 51-MHz interdigital-H (IH) linac. The SCRFQ with modulated vanes, 0.9 m in diameter and 8.6 m in length, accelerates ions with a charge-to-mass ratio (q/A) greater than 1/30 from 2 to 170 keV/u. The stripper is a carbon foil. The IH linac, 1.34 m in diameter and 5.54 m in total length, comprises four cavities and three magnetic quadrupole triplets placed between cavities, accelerates ions with q/A⩾1/10 and varies the output energy continuously in the range 0.17~1.05 MeV/u. The duty factor of the linac complex is 30% for q/A=1/30 ions
