We achieved an unprecedented high current deuteron beam up to 55 mA in pulse operation (300 μs, 1 Hz). The keys of the success were (1) understanding reflected power from RFQ to RF system, (2) tuning each RF chain individually, (3) intensive RF conditioning for holding the stable RF power in the RFQ, and (4) optimizing the beam loading compensation control. Interestingly, the reflection at the breakdown in RF conditioning was higher than an estimation and reached up to 600 kW so far. In order to avoid damage on tetrodes by the high reflection, the impedance of each circulator was accurately adjusted.}, title = {Integration of 175 MHz LIPAc RF system and RFQ Linac for Beam Commissioning}, volume = {48}, year = {2020} }
