High intense proton beams are needed for many projects [1, 2]. To develop LINACs operating at the 200 mA level is a quite challenging task. Therefore new techniques, concepts and simulation tools have to be carefully developed. Within ”Frankfurter Neutronen Quelle am SternGerlach-Zentrum” FRANZ, shown in Fig.1, a neutron flux will be created by a high intense proton beam hitting a Lithium 7 tar...

A modeling investigation was performed to choose moderator material and size for creating optimal epithermal neutron beams for BNCT based on a proton accelerator and the (7)Li(p,n)(7)Be reaction as a neutrons source. An optimal configuration is suggested for the beam shaping assembly made from polytetrafluoroethylene and magnesium fluorine to be placed on high current IPPE proton accelerator KG...

Fast beams of exotic nuclei produced in fragmentation reactions were used to study nuclei beyond the drip line, where in particular the structure of unbound N = 7 isotopes was explored. An s-wave ground state was established in 10Li and observed for the first time in 9He. A coincidence experiment with γ-rays confirmed that the s-state in 10Li is indeed the ground state. Systematics of proton se...

Background: Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) has been applied as reliable and improved techniques in this study to compare concentration of various trace elements in normal and abnormal varicose veins. Materials and Methods: Five samples from normal veins and 13 samples from varicose veins bombarded by 2.0 MeV energy proton beams produced by a Van de Graff accelerator in vacuum. T...

Proton-bunch driven plasma wakefield acceleration (PDPWA) has been proposed as an approach to accelerate electron beam to TeV energy regime in a single plasma section. An experimental test has recently proposed to demonstrate the capability of PDPWA by using proton beams from the CERN SPS. The layout of the experiment is introduced. Particle-in-cell simulation results based on the realistic bea...

We consider the possibility of a direct determination of the polarized gluon density in the proton using charm production with polarized beams at HERA. We study total cross sections and distributions at leading order using different parametrizations of the polarized gluon density. We conclude that charm photoproduction data can be used to constrain the polarized gluon density in the proton if a...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), as the world's first and only polarized proton collider, offers a unique environment in which to study the spin structure of the proton. In order to study the proton's transverse spin structure, the PHENIX experiment at RHIC took data with transversely polarized beams in 2001–02 and 2005, and it has plans for further running with transverse polarizati...

The Rhone-Alpes hadrontherapy facility project ETOILE is based on production of up to 400 MeV/amu carbon and 220 MeV proton beams using earlier CERN synchrotron design ”PIMMS”. The accelerator complex has necessitated several design studies relevant to the technical specificities of ETOILE, in support to cost evaluations. These studies are described and concern the optics of the low, medium and...
