Beam Dynamics Studies for a High Current Ion Injector

Recent ion source developments resulted in the generation of high brilliance, high current beams of protons and light ions. After extraction and transport the beams with large internal space charge forces have to be captured, bunched and preaccelerated for the injection into the following driver part of a new generation of high intensity beam facilities for neutron sources, energy production, transmutation e.g. A combination of RFQ and DTL is considered to be a good solution for such a high curr...
