SIMULATION SOFTWARE FOR NEW TYPE OF CHARGED PARTICLES ACCELERATOR

This paper presents a simulation software useful for developing a new type of charged particles linear accelerator, in order to optimize the overall dimensions and weight, as well as reducing the energy consumption. Also, these accelerators will be capable of accelerating different ion species, at different final energies. With the simulation software, all constructive parameters can be varied and calculations of corresponding speed profiles and energy gain of the particles can be performed. Results from using the simulation software are presented, which demonstrate the possibility of obtaining compact accelerators by using successive high voltage pulse power supplies.
