Isao Yamane Received 25 June 2007; published 13 September 2007 A simple method for splitting a high power, continuous wave (cw) proton beam in two or more branches with low losses has been developed in the framework of the EURISOL (European Isotope Separation On-Line Radioactive Ion Beam Facility) design study. The aim of the system is to deliver up to 4 MW of H- beam to the main radioactive ion beam production target, and up to 100 kW of proton beams to three more targets, simultaneously. A three-step method is used, which includes magnetic neutralization of a fraction of the main H- beam, magnetic splitting of H- and H0, and stripping of H0 to H+. The method allows slow raising and individual fine adjustment of the beam intensity in each branch. ©2007 The American Physical Society
