TUBY02 | Physics Design of a Multi-GeV Superconducting H-minus Linac | 134 |

We discuss design of a pulsed linac based on 430 independently phased superconducting resonators for acceleration of 40 mA peak current H-minus beam up to 8-GeV. Most of the voltage gain (from ~410 MeV to 8 GeV) is provided by ILC cavities and squeezed ILC-style cavities operating at 1300 MHz. Significant cost savings are expected from the use of an rf power fan out from high-power klystrons to multiple cavities. The front end of the linac operating at 325 MHz will be based on multiple-spoke cavities. A room temperature section comprised of a conventional RFQ and 16 short normal conducting H-type resonators is proposed for the initial acceleration of an H-minus or proton beam up to 10 MeV. We have developed an accelerator lattice which satisfies the beam physics and engineering specifications. |
