Conceptual RF design of 750 MHz IH cavities for β = 0.10–0.15 ion beams in medical accelerators

Abstract

In light of the potential interest of Interdigital H-mode (IH) cavities for accelerating carbon ion beams beyond 5 MeV/u, we are reviewing the key geometric elements of the regular cells and end cells to optimize performance in terms of power efficiency, achievable voltage, and dipole field correction.
