Description
The 100 MeV Proton Linear Accelerator (Linac) has been in operation at the Korea Multipurpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) since 2013. Four beam lines are regularly used to provide proton beam services to users. In addition, the neutron beam line is ready to start user services after pilot operation. In parallel, the energy upgrade of the proton linear accelerator is also planned. The proposed upgrade of the 100 MeV proton linac consists of the 200 MeV linac, beam line and target room, building expansion, and utility upgrade. This paper discusses recent activities and upgrade plans of the KOMAC linac.
