Abstract

A Low Energy Accelerator Facility (LEAF) was launched as a pre-research facility for High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF). The LEAF consists of a 2-mA U³⁴⁺ electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) type ion source with 300-kV extraction voltage, a low energy beam transport (LEBT) line with a multi-harmonic buncher (MHB), a CW 81.25MHz radio frequency quad-rupole (RFQ) accelerator which could accelerate heavy ions from 14 keV/u up to 500 keV/u, a triplet magnet for medium energy beam transport and an experimental platform for nuclear physics. After describing the selected structure, an octagonal cavity with π-mode stabilizing loop (PISL) type structure was adopted and simulated. In this paper, the detailed electromagnetic design and ther-mal simulation of the LEAF-RFQ will be reported.
