Abstract :
The first beam acceleration test using a high gradient cavity (HGC) loaded with magnetic alloy (MA) cores has been carried out at the HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba). Acceleration of heavy ions, which required a wide frequency sweep from 1 MHz to 8 MHz, was successfully carried out without resonant frequency tuning
