A STUDY ON THE DETERMINATION OF THE BEAM CHARACTERISTICS OF R&D BEAM TRANSPORT LINE OF TURKISH ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY PROTON ACCELERATOR FACILITY BY USING QUADRUPOLE VARIATION METHOD
Abstract
Main policy of TAEA is to enhance the use of
products of nuclear technology by applying it for the utmost benefits of
Turkey. As moving from this goal, TAEA PAF was established at Sarayköy Nuclear
Research and Training Center in 2012 in order to produce, quality control and
patient dose distribution of currently imported radioisotopes and their
radiopharmaceuticals which are used for diagnosis purpose for nuclear medicine
in Turkey. By the commissioning of TAEA-PAF, an infrastructure for accelerator
technology with an multi-purpose facility that is designed for radioisotope and
radiopharmaceutical production, quality control and research and development
studies established in Turkey for the first time. Thus, some studies based on
charged particle applications on material science, nuclear physics, industry and
also training regarding accelerators technologies are projected in TAEA-PAF
also. In accordance with these objectives, the studies have been started at
TAEA-PAF to build required infrastructure in order to service for proton based
application requests of universities and institutes in our country. The first
part of the study; it is explained that the arrangements on the existing Beamline
1.1 in the TAEA PAF R&D irradiation vault to make it possible to measure
the proton beam parameters such as beam spot, emittance, current and energy. In
the second part, the results on the determination of the emittance value of the
proton beam in the existing R&D Beamline 1.1 by the quadrupole variation method
are presented.
