N2 - Boron neutron capture therapy, a promising method for treating malignant tumors, requires accelerator based sources of neutrons in the epithermal energy range. One of the popular charged particle accelerators is an electrostatic tandem accelerator of an original design called Vacuum Insulated Tandem Accelerator (VITA). The paper presents the results of phase portrait measurements of an ion beam conducted at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics experimental facility and at oncology clinics equipped with pre-acceleration. The advantages and disadvantages of using pre-acceleration are shown. A proposal is made to improve VITA, confirmed by the results of numerical simulation of ion beam transportation and acceleration.
