Reliability and current-adaptability studies of a 352 MHz, 17 MeV, continuous-wave injector for an accelerator-driven system

چکیده
EUROTRANS is a European research program for the transmutation of high level nuclear waste in an accelerator-driven system (ADS). As proposed, the driver linac needs to deliver a 2.5–4 mA, 600 MeV continuous-wave (CW) proton beam and later a 20 mA, 800 MeV one to the spallation target in the prototype-scale and industrial-scale demonstration phases, respectively. This paper is focusing on the conceptual studies performed with respect to the 17 MeV injector. First, the special beam dynamics strategies and methods, which have been developed and applied to design a current-variable injector up to 30 mA for allowing an easy upgrade without additional R&D costs, will be introduced. Then the error study made for evaluating the tolerance limits of the designed injector will be presented as well.

Development of superconducting crossbar-H-mode cavities for proton and ion accelerators
The crossbar-H-mode (CH) structure is the first superconducting multicell drift tube cavity for the low and medium energy range operated in the H21 mode. Because of the large energy gain per cavity, which leads to high real estate gradients, it is an excellent candidate for the efficient acceleration in high power proton and ion accelerators with fixed velocity profile. A prototype cavity has b...

The FAIR project needs a new injector for the SIS-12, namely a 352 MHz CH proton linac with an output energy of 70 MeV and a beam current of 70 mA[1]. The single cell geometry has been investigated extensively in order to improve the electrical and mechanical properties at the low energy side. A cell geometry with a length of 40 mm (equivalent to β=0.09) was chosen and studied with the program ...

The Laboratório do Acelerador Linear (LAL) of the Physics Institute of the University of São Paulo (IFUSP) is building a 31 MeV continuous wave (cw) racetrack microtron [1][2]. This two-stage microtron comprises a 1.8 MeV injector linac, a five-turn microtron booster that increases the energy to 4.9 MeV, and the main microtron, which delivers a 31 MeV cw electron beam after 28 turns. The inject...

Linac4 is the near future 160 MeV H- linear accelerator of the CERN presently under construction. It will replace the present Linac2 as injector of the proton accelerator complex in CERN. The Linac4 is composed of a 45 keV ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT), a 352.2 MHz Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ), which accelerates the beam to 3 MeV, and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT), ...
