  Ion sources providing high current beam with low emittance are required for accelerators to expand to apply them to fusion material science. A 100-keV, 150-mA class deuteron source with low emittance is required for an accelerator-based neutron irradiation facility to develop fusion materials, and the study for space charge effects in the range of a 20- to 150-mA deuteron beam is indispensable to extract the low beam emittance. For this purpose, each ion source to extract the beam current of 20, 50, 100, and 150 mA was designed by the Igun code, under the condition to extract a beam radius of 4 mm, a beam energy of 100 keV, and a normalized emittance of 0.2 PI mm mrad. In this article, these simulation results from the viewpoint of space charge effects will be presented in detail.

  In the design of prototype RFQ linac for the IFMIF/EVEDA Project, a 175MHz RFQ, which has a longitudinal length of 9.78m, was proposed to accelerate deuteron beam up to 5MeV. The operation frequency of 175MHz was selected to accelerate a large current of 125mA in cw mode. The overall driving RF power of 1.28 MW by 8 RF input couplers has to be injected to the RFQ cavity. For the transmitted RF power tests of RF couplers, a coupling cavity to connect with two RF couplers is needed. For this purpose, two types of coupling cavities for the 175MHz have been designed. One is a capacitive coupling cavity with a co-axial waveguide and double loop coupling structures, and the other one is a ridge cavity type with a rectangular waveguide. In this article, these RF designs and engineering designs will be presented in detail.

  In the design of prototype RFQ linac for the IFMIF/EVEDA Project, a 175 MHz RFQ, which has a longitudinal length of 9.78m, was proposed to accelerate deuteron beam up to 5MeV. The operation frequency of 175MHz was selected to accelerate a large current of 125mA in CW mode. The overall driving RF power of 1.28 MW by 8 RF input couplers has to be injected to the RFQ cavity. As a part of the validation of the coupler design, the beta factor (coupling coefficient) was measured on Aluminum RFQ at INFN Legnaro with on-purpose, real-scale dummy aluminum couplers for the installed depths of L=27, 40, 45, 48 and 73 mm. In this article, measurement and calculation results performed with the 3D code HFSS for coupling factor evaluation will be presented in details.
