Abstract
We are studying an IH (Interdigital-H) type linear accelerator for app lication as part of the international cooperative research. Accelerati on of deuteron and triton by the IH linac were planned for the product ion of useful radio-isotopes. The plan is to accelerate deuteron to 3. 2 MeV by an IH linac for PET (positron-emission tomography) applicatio n. The linac was designed to accelerate deuterons from 0.2 MeV to 3.2 MeV by TUM and TIT. The accelerator cavity was manufactured in Romania . The beam-test facility was constructed at the Research Laboratory fo r Nuclear Reactors, TIT. The linac has successfully accelerated the pr oton beam. The shunt impedance was estimated to be about 370 M Omega/m by experiment.
