MOAP03 Comparative Studies of Proton Accelerators for High Power Applications proton, target, linac, klystron 11

  There are many applications need high power proton accelerators of various kinds. However, each type of proton accelerator can only provide beam with certain characteristics, hence the match of accelerators and their application needs careful evaluation. In this talk, the beam parameters and performance limitations of linac, cyclotron, synchrotron, and FFAG accelerators will be studied and their relative merits for application in muon, neutron, neutrino, and ADS assessed in terms of beam energy, intensity, bunch length, repetition rate, and beam power requirements. A possible match between the applications and the accelerator of choice will be presented in a matrix form. The accelerator physics and technology issues and challenges involved will also be covered.  
 
TUAY01 Overview of proton driver studies for neutrino and muon factories proton, linac, synchrotron, target 64
 
  • W. Chou
    Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois
  There are a number of proton driver studies around the world: SPL at CERN, an 8 GeV SCRF linac at Fermilab, AGS upgrade at BNL, Proton Driver for the International Scoping Study on Neutrino Factories and Superbeams, FFAG based proton driver in Japan, etc. This talk will give an overview of them and compare their similarities and differences. Common R&D projects and possible inter-laboratory collaborations will be discussed.  
 
TUBY04 Operational flexibility of the SPL as proton driver for neutrino and other applications linac, proton, target, dipole 150

  The pulse structure of proton linacs is determined by the linac energy, the RF system, and the maximum duty cycle of the source. Short bursts of protons in the microsecond range can be achieved by adding an accumulator ring and a reduction of the bunch length to the order of nanoseconds can be accomplished with an additional bunch compressor ring. The size of the rings along with their RF frequency determines the time structure of the proton driver output burst to hit the target. This pulse structure can be further modified using multiple fillings of the accumulator and compressor rings within one linac pulse. This paper illustrates the possible modes of operation of the SPL at CERN along with its limitations at various energies in combination with accumulator and compressor rings.  
 
THCX02 Cost Comparison of Linear and Circular Accelerators acceleration, linac, RF-structure, synchrotron 356

  A simple comparison of construction cost between a Linear and a Circular Accelerator is made. Two simplified models are proposed and studied. The comparison is made with the two major magnet and RF cavity components. An approximated criterion is found according to which the Circular Accelerator is indeed the more economical of the two provided that the beam circulates a minimum number of turns.
