WEPS038 | Development of CH-Cavities for the 17 MeV MYRRHA-Injector | 2571 |
|
||
Funding: European Union FP7 MAX Contract Number 269565 MYRRHA is conceived as an accelerator driven system (ADS) for transmutation of high level nuclear waste. The neutron source is created by coupling a proton accelerator of 600 MeV with a 4 mA proton beam, a spallation source and a sub-critical core. The IAP of Frankfurt University is responsible for the development of the 17 MeV injector operated at 176 MHz. The injector consists of a 1.5 MeV 4-Rod-RFQ and six CH-drifttube-structures. The first two CH-structures will be operated at room temperature and the other CH-structures are superconducting cavities assembled in one cryo-module. To achieve the extremely high reliability required by the ADS application, the design of the 17 MeV injector has been intensively studied, with respect to thermal issues, minimum peak fields and field distribution. |

WEPS039 | General Layout of the 17 MeV Injector for MYRRHA | 2574 |
|

Funding: European Union FP7 MAX Contract Number 269565 The MYRRHA Project (Multi Purpose Hybrid Reactor for High Tech Applications) at Mol/belgium will be a user facility with emphasis on research with neutron generated by a spallation source. One main aspect is the demonstration of nuclear waste technology using an accelerator driven system. A superconducting linac delivers a 4 mA, 600 MeV proton beam. The first accelerating section is covered by the 17 MeV injector. It consists of a proton source, an RFQ, two room temperature CH cavities and 4 superconducting CH-cavities. The initial design has used an RF frequency of 352 MHz. Recently the frequency of the injector has been set to 176 MHz. The main reason is the possible use of a 4-rod-RFQ with reduced power dissipation and energy, respectively. The status of the overall injector layout including cavity design is presented. |

WEPS043 | From EUROTRANS to MAX: New Strategies and Approaches for the Injector Development | 2583 |
|
||
Funding: The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Atomic Energy Community’s (Euratom) Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2011 under grant agreement n° [269565]. As the successor of the EUROTRANS project, the MAX project is aiming to continue the R&D effects for a European Accelerator-Driven System and to bring the conceptual design to reality. The layout of the driver linac for MAX will follow the reference design made for the XT-ADS phase of the EUROTRANS project. For the injector part, new design strategies and approaches, e.g. half resonant frequency, half transition-energy between the RFQ and the CH-DTL, and using the 4-rod RFQ structure instead of the originally proposed 4-vane RFQ, have been conceived and studied to reach a more reliable CW operation at reduced costs. In this paper, the design and simulation results of the MAX injector are presented. |

WEPS040 | The Driver Linac of the Neutron Source FRANZ | 2577 |
|
||
FRANZ is under construction at the Goethe University Frankfurt. A 2MeV ± 100 keV proton beam will produce 1 keV to 200 keV neutrons on a Li7 target. Experiments are planned in the field of nuclear astrophysics as well as in applied physics. A dc operated proton source with a maximum beam current of 200 mA was successfully beam tested end of 2010. FRANZ will have two experimental areas: One for activation experiments with cw proton beams of a few mA generating a usable neutron flux of some 10 billion per square cm per second, the other one for 250 kHz, 1 ns short neutron bunches generated by 1 ns proton pulses of a few Ampere beam current. A special 2 MeV, 175 MHz high current cavity is realized at present as a RFQ-DTL combination. Novel techniques have been invented to reach the needed pulsed target beam current by a bunch compressor system.

WEIB04 | Accelertor-based Mega-science Projects in China and Their Impact on Economy | 1986 |
|
||
Along with the rapid development of national economy in China, a number of accelerator based mega-science projects were constructed, such as the Beijing Electron-Positron Colliders (BEPC) and its major upgrade project (BEPCII), the Hefei Light Source (HLS), the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL) and its Cooling Storage Rings (HIEFL-CSR), the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) and the Dragon-I induction linac. The Beijing Radioactive Ion Facility (BRIF) and the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) are under construction. In this paper, China’s accelerator projects are briefly reviewed and applications of accelerators are reported. The paper emphasizes spinoff of the accelerator technology developed during R&D and construction of the projects. Collaboration between academia and industry on the projects are described. With some examples, the benefits experienced in the laboratory-industry collaboration and approach of its economic impact are illustrated. | ||

TUXA01 | Status and Challenges of the China Spallation Neutron Source | 889 |
|
||
The accelerator complex of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) mainly consists of an H− linac of 80 MeV and a rapid-cycling synchrotron of 1.6 GeV. It operates at 25 Hz repetition rate with an initial proton beam power of 100 kW and is upgradeable to 500kW. The project will start construction in the middle of 2011 with a construction period of 6.5 years. The CSNS accelerator is the first large-scale, high-power accelerator project to be constructed in China and thus we are facing a lot of challenges. This paper presents the current status of CSNS project and summarizes the technology development during the past several years. | ||

THPZ012 | Luminosity Enhancement and Performance in BEPCII | 3708 |
|
||
The Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) was upgraded to a factory-like machine –- BEPCII, during last several years. From last November, the BEPCII was commissioned again for its luminosity. Efforts on optics correction including optimizing the strengths of superconducting quadrupoles near the IP, orbits correction concerning beam energy, etc, make the transvers tunes possible to move very close to half integer, bringing a big luminosity increase. The background of the detector is also reduced with beam commissioning, and finally fit the requirements of data taking. Further luminosity commissioing, including coupling optimization, beta-waist tuning, was carried on, and the luminosity reached 6.49·1032 cm-2 s-1 during routine operation. Some measures of luminosity enhancement and the luminosity related accelerator physics issues will be discussed. | ||
