  • Purpose: Proton therapy has been used for optimal cancer treatment by adapting its Bragg-peak characteristics. Recently, a tissue-sparing effect was introduced in ultrahigh-dose-rate (FLASH) radiation; the high-energy transmission proton beam is considered in proton FLASH therapy. In measuring high-energy/ultrahigh-dose-rate proton beam, Faraday Cup is considered as a dose-rate-independent measurement device, which has been widely studied. In this paper, the feasibility of the simply designed Faraday Cup (Poor Man's Faraday Cup, PMFC) for transmission proton FLASH therapy is investigated. Methods: In general, Faraday cups were used in the measurement of charged particles. The simply designed Faraday Cup and Advanced Markus ion chamber were used for high-energy proton beam measurement in this study. Results: The PMFC shows an acceptable performance, including accuracy in general dosimetric tests. The PMFC has a linear response to the dose and dose rate. The proton fluence was decreased with the increase of depth until the depth was near the proton beam range. Regarding secondary particles backscatter from PMFC, the effect was negligible. Conclusions: In this study, we performed an experiment to investigate the feasibility of PMFC for measuring high-energy proton beams. The PMFC can be used as a beam stopper and secondary monitoring system for transmission proton beam FLASH therapy.

  • 전력계통 운용시 고장이 발생하면 계통 운전원은 계전기 및 차단기 관련 동작정보 및 경보로부터 해당 고장내용을 판단하고 계통복구를 위한 조작을 행한다. 본 논문에서는 현재 건설중인 양성자가속기 연구센터의 전력 계통 운용시 발생한 고장에 따른 다중경보신호를 분석하기 위하여 전력계통의 고장영역별로 동작하는 보호계전기 신호, 차단기 신호 및 경보신호를 분류함으로써 이를 향후 전력계통 운용시 고장진단을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

  • The RF system for PEFP 20MeV proton linear accelerator is described. The RF system for 3MeV RFQ was already installed and operated to drive the RFQ. The klystron was tested up to 600kW itself and operated up to 350kW routinely. The HPRF dummy load was stabilized with the change of the coolant. Preparation of 20MeV DTL HPRF test has been completed. LCP and PLC system for klystron power supply was already prepared. Voltage fluctuation was measured during klystron test. Voltage control feedback loop seems to be re-adjusted.

  • KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has been performing the project named PEFP (proton engineering frontier project). PEFP has been performing the project of a high power proton accelerator. Control system for 20 MeV proton accelerating structure has developed. We use the EPICS(Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) tool kit as a foundation of the control system. EPICS is adopted for control systems which have OPI(OPerator Interface) and IOqlnput Output Controller). We have performed the PEPF control system on SUN workstation host computer. In this paper, we present the vacuum monitor, RFQ, and DTL Turbo pump control system.

  • The high power RF system for the PEFP 20MeV proton accelerator composed of the 3MeV RFQ and the 20MeV DTL has been installed. The klystron for the RFQ was tested up to 600kW and operated routinely to drive the RFQ in a pulse mode operation. The klystron for the DTL which consists of 4 tanks was tested up to 800kW in pulse mode operation. The pulse width and repetition rate was 50${\mu}s$ and 1Hz respectively. The high power RF system has been operated to drive each accelerating structure and will be used to accelerate 20MeV proton beam.

  • 본 연구에서 서로 다른 양성자 에너지를 사용하여 핵반응에 의해 생성된 감마선의 차이를 통해 고에너지 양성자 Pb(p, nx) 핵반응에서 생성된 동위원소를 식별하는 방법을 제안했다. 한국원자력연구원의 100-M eV 양성자 선형 가속기에서 생성된 고 에너지 양성자를 이용하여 실험을 수행 하였다. 양성자 핵반응을 통해 생성된 다양한 핵종에 의해 생성된 감마선은 HPGe 검출기로 구성된 감마선 분광법 시스템을 사용하여 측정되었습니다. 감마선 표준선원은 감마선 검출기의 정확한 에너지교정 및 효율측정을 위해 사용되었습니다. 제안한 방법을 위하여 동일한 천연 납 시료에 서로 다른 100 및 60 MeV 양성자 에너지빔을 사용하였다. 이 방법은 동일한 시료에서 발생되는 감마선들을 서로 비교함으로써 생성된 핵종들을 확인하는데 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구의 결과는 향후 다른 양성자 핵반응 결과를 얻는데도 매우 효과적으로 적용될 것이라 생각된다.
