Description
RAON is a heavy-ion accelerator facility designed to produce and utilize Rare Isotope Beams (RIBs) for advanced basic science research in Korea. It features a superconducting linear accelerator (Linac) as its driver for the In-Flight (IF) fragmentation method. Since the initial commissioning phase of the low-energy superconducting Linac, extensive efforts have been made to validate the performance and stability of the system, which consists of a series of quarter-wave and half-wave superconducting resonators operating at cryogenic temperatures.
This talk will present the operational experience gained during beam commissioning campaigns, as well as insights from the cool-down process and operation of the cryogenic systems. The presentation will conclude with future plans for performance upgrades.
