A 13 MHz - normal conducting cavity for an rf implanter has been successfully developed at PEFP (Proton Engineering Frontier Project). It consists of an inductive coil, accelerating electrodes and a ground electrode for the inductor. Quality factor of 2074 and critical coupling were achieved at resonant frequency of 12.658 MHz. Rf power of 1 kW was forwarded to the cavity without any spark in the cavity. Beam test was then carried out with a 27 keV helium beam generated from a Duoplasmatron ion source. The results showed that the helium beam was accelerated to final energy of 120 keV with energy spread of 1%. Detail experiments and results are addressed in this presentation.

The 100 MeV proton linear accelerator of the Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP) has been developed and will be installed in Gyeong-ju site. The 20 MeV accelerator operated in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) site will be also moved and reinstalled. The LLRF control systems for the 20 MeV accelerator were improved and have been operated within the stability of ±1% in RF amplitude and ±1 degree in RF phase. 7 sets of the extra LLRF control system will be installed with a RF reference system for the 100 MeV accelerator. Waveguide layout was also improved to install HPRF systems for the 100 MeV accelerator. Some of the HPRF components including klystrons, circulators, and RF windows are under purchase. The waveguide sections penetrating into the tunnel, which are fixed in a concrete floor with the bending structure for radiation shielding, were fabricated into a piece of waveguide to prevent the moisture and any foreign debris inside the concrete block. The details of the RF system improvement are presented.

The Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP) is developing a 100-MeV high-duty-factor proton linac, which consists of a 50-keV microwave ion source, a 3-MeV radio frequency quadrupole, a 100-MeV drift tube linac, a 20-MeV beam transport line, and a 100-MeV beam transport line. It will supply proton beams of 20-MeV and 100-MeV with peak current of 20 mA to users for proton beam applications. The beam duty factor will be 24% and 8% respectively. The 20-MeV front-end accelerator has been installed and operated at the KAERI Daejeon test stand for user service, and the rest part of the accelerator has been fabricated and will be installed at the new site of Gyeongju City in 2011. The detailed status of the 100-MeV proton linac will be presented.

The 20 MeV proton accelerator has been operating since 2007 when it got a operational license at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) by Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP). A microwave ion source was newly developed to satisfy the requirement of minimum 100 hour operation time without maintenance. After the long time operation test at test bench, it was installed to drive the 20 MeV proton accelerator. The beam profile and emittance were measured to check the characteristics of the accelerator both at the LEBT and at the end of the 20 MeV DTL. In this paper, the microwave ion source is presented and the measurement results of the beam property are discussed.
