	Funding: The work supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. The Vacuum Insulated Tandem Accelerator was developed in the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics to produce epithermal neutrons for boron neutron capture therapy in the 7Li(p,g)7Be reaction. The parameters of the generated radiation allow us to carry out in vitro and in vivo investigations of BNCT. In present moment the modernization of the facility elements is carrying out to meet the parameters required for clinical usage. Presented work is aimed on modernization of the gas stripping target that is used in the Vacuum Insulated Tandem Accelerator to recharge negative hydrogen ions into protons. The target was modernized to get higher efficiency of the beam transportation and to raise the current of the accelerated proton beam. The design of the modernized stripping target, the calculated data on gas flow rate and recharge effectiveness, also the results of experimental measurement of transported current depending on the gas flow rate are presented. The method of the target thickness determination and the procedure to adjust the regime of gas flow gate to get the required recharging effect were suggested. V. Aleynik, A. Burdakov, V.

The Vacuum Insulated Tandem Accelerator was developed in the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics to produce epithermal neutrons for boron neutron capture therapy in the 7Li(p,g)7Be reaction. The parameters of the generated radiation allow us to carry out in vitro and in vivo investigations of BNCT*. In present moment the modernization of the facility elements is carrying out to meet the parameters required for clinical usage. Presented work is aimed on modernization of the gas stripping target that is used in the Vacuum Insulated Tandem Accelerator to recharge negative hydrogen ions into protons. The target was modernized to get higher efficiency of the beam transportation and to raise the current of the accelerated proton beam. The design of the modernized stripping target, the calculated data on gas flow rate and recharge effectiveness, also the results of experimental measurement of transported current depending on the gas flow rate are presented. The method of the target thickness determination and the procedure to adjust the regime of gas flow gate to get the required recharging effect were suggested.
