Abstract

The article considers an opportunity of simultaneous pulsed acceleration of seven proton beams with current one hundred milliamps in each beam. The accelerator consists of two parts. In the first part of the accelerator having the length five meters, the protons are accelerated to the energy of mega electron Volts. Consumption of high-frequency power by this part of the accelerator is equal to mega Watts. In the second part of the accelerator having the length fifty meters, the protons are accelerated to the finite energy eighty mega electron Volts. Consumption of the high frequency power by the second part of the accelerator is seventy fours mega Watts. The radial focus of the proton beam in the first and second parts of the accelerator is carried out with the magnetic field ten Tesla which is generated by a superconducting solenoid.
