The Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS) has launched at Tsinghua University to develop a university neutron source based on a 13 MeV, 50 mA proton linac which consists of ECR ion source, LEBT, RFQ and DTL. The primary design of the DTL for the CPHS is presented in this paper, which includes the dynamics calculation, RF field optimization and error analysis. This DTL can accelerate 50 mA proton beam from 3MeV to 13 MeV with 1.2 MW RF power input. The DTL is directly connected after RFQ without Medium-Energy Beam-Transport line (MEBT). PMQs are adopted in drift tubes focusing. The magnetic field gradient of PMQs are programmed to match the transverse restoring forces at the end of the RFQ to avoid missmatch and avoid parametric resonances.

The design progress of the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator for the Compact Pulsed Hadron Source (CPHS) at Tsinghua University is presented in this paper. The RFQ will accelerate protons from 50 keV to 3 MeV, with the RF frequency of 325 MHz. The objective is to obtain the optimum structure of the RFQ accelerator with high transmission rate and tolerable total length. The beam dynamics are studied by the simulation of the proton beam in the RFQ accelerator with the code of PARMTEQM. The output proton beam from the RFQ is well matched into the DTL without Medium-Energy-Beam-Transport (MEBT) between the RFQ and DTL.
