Status of original 2.0 MeV, 10 mA proton tandem-accelerator with vacuum insulation is presented. The accelerator is intended to be used in facilities generating resonance gamma rays for explosives detection and epithermal neutrons for boron neutron-capture therapy of brain tumors. Steady-state sectioned rectifier from industrial ELV-type electron accelerator is used as a high voltage source for the accelerator. A dc high-current negative ion source has been developed for injection into the tandem. In the tandem accelerator there is set of nested potential electrodes with openings which form a channel for accelerated negative ion beam and subsequently for proton beam after stripping gas target. The electrodes are fixed on a high voltage feedthrough insulator though which required potentials are applied to them from the rectifier by means of resistor voltage divider. In the paper the first experimental results obtained with vacuum insulated tandem accelerator are also given. Keywords: vacuum insulation tandem accelerator, gamma resonance absorption, boron neutron capture therapy.

An electrostatic tandem-accelerator with 2.5 MeV 10 mA proton beam is under development at BINP. One of the accelerator important parts is a target that converts the half energy accelerated negative hydrogen ions into the proton beam. To reduce argon flux from the target to accelerator gaps a gas recirculation by turbomolecular pump installed in high voltage electrode is provided. To study the argon recirculation and the plasma production in the stripping cell an experimental test stand is prepared. Results of experimental modeling of differential pumping with different length of tubes for ion beam pass are presented. Ionization of the target by 500 eV electrons is studied by injecting a corresponding electron beam.
