Funding: FAPESP, CNPq The Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a two-stage 38 MeV continuous wave racetrack microtron. This accelerator consists of a linac injector that delivers a 1.7 MeV beam to a microtron (booster) with 5 MeV exit energy. A transport line guides the beam to the main microtron to be accelerated to energies up to 38 MeV in steps of 0.9 MeV. This work describes the commissioning of the linac injector that comprises the first two accelerating structures of the IFUSP Microtron. A provisional beam line was built at the end of the linac to provide energy and current measurements. We also present results concerning RF power, RF phase, and temperature control of the accelerating structures. The first results of the chopper and buncher systems are also presented. |
