| Abstract | The Vacuum Insulated Tandem Accelerator is built at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. The accelerator is designed for development of the concept of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy of malignant tumors in the clinic.* In the accelerator the negative hydrogen ions are accelerated by the high voltage electrode potential to the half of required energy, and after conversion of the ions into protons by means of a gas stripping target the protons are accelerated again by the same potential to the full beam energy. During the facility development, the proton beam was obtained with 5 mA current and 2 MeV energy**. To ensure the beam parameters and reliability of the facility operation required for clinical applications, the new injector was designed based on the ion source with a current up to 15 mA***, providing the possibility of preliminary beam acceleration up to 120-200 keV. The paper presents the status of the injector construction and testing. | |||||
