Abstract
Studies are being conducted to develop a digital accelerator capable of accelerating ions with any charge state, based on the concept of the induction synchrotron. The digital accelerator is a modification of the KEK 500Â MeV booster which employs induction acceleration. The digital accelerator is operated at a repetition rate of 10Â Hz. The accelerating pulse voltage is dynamically varied from 0Â V to 2.4Â kV. A novel technique combining the pulse trigger control and intermittent operation of multi-acceleration cells is developed. The acceleration scheme of the digital accelerator is verified by using computer simulations and it is demonstrated at our test facility by using a beam simulator to mimic a circulating beam-bunch signal in the KEK digital accelerator.
