Popis: The terawatt accumulator at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics is in the physical startup phase. A new high-current linear accelerator-injector must be developed to achieve design parameters 1011 particles/sec on target; this injector should give at the entrance of the accelerator ring a heavy-ion beam with current 15–20 mA and energy ~7–8 MeV/nucleon with the required charge-to-mass ratio. To this end, a linear accelerator with rf quadrupole focusing at the working frequency 81 MHz was developed; it will accelerate Al11+ or Co25+ from a laser source before the synchrotron. The accelerator will consist of two sections. The first section with spatially uniform quadrupole focusing will accelerate the beam up to 1.6 MeV/nucleon. A new structure with rf quadrupole focusing and period length 2βλ is proposed for the second accelerating section. Preliminary numerical simulation of this structure showed that 7 MeV/nucleon with minimum beam losses and accelerating gradients 3.5 MV/m will be achieved on it. Construction of the first section with spatially uniform quadrupole focusing has begun.
