Abstract
One of the charged-particle accelerators with relatively low energy and relatively high current is the vacuum insulated tandem accelerator. The work notes the originality of the accelerator design and presents the results of the research. It was shown that replacing ceramic insulators with a smooth side surface with insulators with a corrugated outer surface ensured the required voltage of 1.15 MV without breakdowns. The required current of 10 mA was obtained by upgrading the facility, which followed the experimental determination of the effect of space charge on the transport of ions and significant suppression of the flow of secondary charged particles. The measured phase portraits of a beam of negative hydrogen ions and a beam of protons injected into the accelerator are presented. It is noted that the facility is primarily used for the development of boron-neutron capture therapy techniques for malignant tumors, for radiation testing and modification of promising materials with a neutron flux, for measuring the cross section and yield of nuclear reactions, and for other applications.
期刊介绍:
Instruments and Experimental Techniques is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes reviews describing advanced methods for physical measurements and techniques and original articles that present techniques for physical measurements, principles of operation, design, methods of application, and analysis of the operation of physical instruments used in all fields of experimental physics and when conducting measurements using physical methods and instruments in astronomy, natural sciences, chemistry, biology, medicine, and ecology.
