Abstract
The “Luch-Proton” project of the proton beam therapy center is being created at the National Research Center «Kurchatov Institute». The pulsed proton accelerator RFQ with energy of 5 MeV, operating frequency of 162.5 MHz and current of 30 mA is being developed at the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute” – KKTEF as an injector of the proton synchrotron. The main aspects of RFQ beam dynamics are described choosing RFQ parameters, optimizing the transport and transmission of the accelerating channel, minimizing the output beam emittance. The results of beam dynamics simulation in RFQ are presented.
