Abstract

To get the stable and optimized proton beam in the KIRAMS-13 cyclotron which installed in the regional cyclotron center, it is necessary to measure the transverse profile of proton beam. Beam Induced Fluorescence monitor is one of the non-destructive methods to measure the beam profiles, and it has many advantages such as a simple structure, real-time measurement, and minimum energy loss. The objective of this research is the design and development of Beam Induced Fluorescence monitor to measure the proton beam profiles in the KIRAMS-13 cyclotron.

권역별 싸이클로트론연구소에 설치되어 있는 KIRAMS-13 싸이클로트론에서 안정적이고 최적화된 양성자빔을 인출하기 위해서는 양성자빔의 횡단면 측정이 필수적이다. 빔의 횡단면 측정장치 중 비파괴적인 방법인 BIF(Beam Induced Fluorescence) 모니터는 그 구조가 상대적으로 간단하고 빔의 에너지 손실을 최소화하며 실시간 측정이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 KIRAMS-13 싸이클로트론에서 양성자빔의 횡단면 측정을 위한 BIF 모니터를 설계하고 제작한 후 13 MeV 양성자빔 조사실험을 통하여 양성자 빔의 중심 및 반경을 측정하였다.
