Design of the Driver Linac for the Rare Isotope Accelerator *

ACCELERATOR * P.N. Ostroumov, J.A. Nolen and K.W. Shepard, ANL, Argonne, IL 60439, USA Abstract The proposed design of the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) driver linac is a cw, fully superconducting, 1.4 GV linac capable of accelerating uranium ions up to 400 MeV/u and protons to 1 GeV with 400 kW beam power. An extensive research and development effort has resolved many technical issues related...

Superconducting Driver Linac Beam Dynamics Optimization for Ria

An Injector for a Multi Ion Beam Driver Linac

An advanced facility for the production of exotic shortlived isotopes far from stability (RIA) could use as the driver a high power cw superconducting linac [1]. Due to the wide range of particle velocities ( =0:019-0:81), different cavity types are required. This paper describes a possible design for the injector portion (up to =0:1) of the driver linac. The proposed injector design consists o...

Niobium Quarter-wave Resonator Development for the Rare Isotope Accelerator

There is a growing interest in the production of intense beams of exotic isotopes for research in nuclear physics and laboratory astrophysics [1]. The Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) is one such project being pursued by the nuclear physics community in the USA [2]. RIA calls for a superconducting cavity linac to accelerate the CW beam of heavy ions to ≥ 400 MeV per nucleon, with a beam power of ...

2GeV SUPERCONDUCTING MUON LINAC

A muon collider as well as a neutrino factory requires a large number of muons with a kinetic energy of 50GeV or more. Muon survival demands a high gradient linac. The large transverse and longitudinal emittance of the muon beam coming from a muon cooling system implies the need for a large acceptance, acceleration system. These two requirements point clearly to a linac based on superconducting...
