| Research Abstract |
It was necessary to develop an fully stripped carbon ion source in order to realize the next generation of carbon therapy, where C-6+ delivered from the ion source are directly injected into an circular accelerator ring and quickly accelerated up to an desired energy. A laser ablation ion source has been successfully demonstrated with a sufficient ion beam quality in a collaboration between KEK and RIKEN BNL-branch. The KEK digital accelerator has been examined as a model accelerator ring to realize the next generation of carbon therapy driver, which does not require any injector system, such as an RFQ, ion linac, and carbon stripper. Tuning of the low energy beam transport, injection system, and ring magnet excitation, and induction acceleration system has been demonstrated from various aspects.
All results have been published in refereed papers and presented at domestic and international conferences. Five master students have earned their thesis through the related activities.
