Abstract :
TRIUMF is funded through to 2005 to proceed with an extension to the ISAC facility, ISAC-II, to permit acceleration of radioactive ion beams up to energies of at least 6.5 MeV/u for masses up to 150. The upgrade includes the addition of a post-stripper superconducting linac to accelerate beams of 3 ⩽ A/q ⩽ 7 to an energy of at least 6.5 MeV/u. The possibility of using the superconducting linac to accelerate multiple charge states has been investigated. We have in particular studied both the transverse and the longitudinal phase space for three different lattices, doublet, triplet and solenoid, focusing our attention on developing a lattice to increase the multi-charge acceptance. The present linac cavity parameters, concept scenarios and beam dynamic simulation results are presented
