Low-background prebunching system for heavy-ion beams at the Tokai radioactive ion accelerator complex

A novel beam-bunching technique has been implemented at a heavy-ion linear accelerator facility by installing a compact two-gap prebuncher and a multilayer beam chopper. A pulsed beam of 2 to 4 MHz, having kinetic energy up to 1.1  MeV/u, is realized by bunching a 2  keV/u continuous beam just upstr...
