During the past decades, linac-based neutron-generating facilities like SNS, J-PARC, and LEDA advanced the frontier of proton beam power by an order of magnitude to 1 MW level. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) driver linac currently under construction at Michigan State University will advance the frontier of heavy-ion beam power by more than two-order-of-magnitudes to 400 kW. FRIB will accelerate high intensity beams, proton to uranium, up to 200MeV/u. The accelerator system includes many cutting edge technologies that can provide a basis for this talk which will discuss how these current developments may lead to the next generation of very high intensity machines, including looking forward to projects such as the CADS, ESS, IFMIF, SARAF, and SPIRAL2.

Measurement of beam phase-space area via rms emittances in solenoid focusing channels with linear x-y coupling is complicated relative to transport channels with decoupled plane focusing. This stems from correlated azimuthal flow of the beam induced by the coupled focusing influencing how the thermal component of the flow should be measured. This is exacerbated when the beam has finite canonical angular momentum – as is the case for beams born in a magnetic field in ECR-type sources. In this study, simple measures of rms emittance for use in solenoid transport for beams with canonical angular momentum are motivated and overviewed. Emphasis is placed on simple to interpret emittance measures which reduce to familiar forms for decoupled plane motion. These emittances are applied in Warp PIC simulations of the near-source region of the FRIB linac front-end. In these simulations, a multi-species heavy-ion dc beam emerging from an ECR source are simulated primarily in transverse slice mode using a realistic lattice description. Emittance growth due to nonlinear applied fields, space-charge, and partial neutralization is analyzed including the influence of net canonical angular momentum.

Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a high-power heavy ion accelerator facility presently under construction at Michigan State University located in Michigan. FRIB consists of a CW driver linac, experimental facility, the linac accelerates ions up to uranium with the energy of 200 MeV/u and with the beam power of 400 kW. As the assumed beam power is more than two order of magnitude higher than the existing heavy ion linac facilities, various beam dynamics challenges are assumed for the driver linac. In this paper, beam dynamic challenges for FRIB driver linac and undergoing studies to address them are reviewed, which would include those related to machine protection and collimation of halos after a stripper.

FRIB will deliver heavy ion beams at a power level of 400 kW on the production target. The high beam power requires understanding of processes involved in the production of ion beams by ECR ion sources and defining the beam quality. Also, careful control of the beam phase space is required during transport and acceleration of the beam from ion sources to the SRF linac. In this paper, we describe features of the FRIB front end related to the beam production and control of the beam phase space. Where possible we discuss parallels with other facilities.
