Abstract

A new compact linear proton accelerator project (named LINAC 7) for multiple low-current applications, designed and built in-house at the Beam Laboratory of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) is described. The project combines the University, a research technology center and a private company with the aim of designing and building a compact, low-current proton accelerator capable of accelerating particles up to 7 MeV. In this paper, we present an overview of the accelerator design, summarize the progress and testing of the components that have been built, and describe the components that are being designed that will allow us to achieve the final desired energy of 7 MeV.

Keywords: particle accelerators; ion sources; RF cavities; beam dynamics
