HEBT, ma magn gnets and d power supplie ies
- Several optical designs of the High Energy Beam Transport system have
been developed during the evolvement of the ADU project.
- The present design fulfill the requirements including layout geometry and
the 6×16cm2 beam footprint on target with a sufficiently low maximum current density to ensure a long target lifetime.
- The technologies to be used for building the magnets and power supplies
have been studied including aspects of handling and optimization of power consumption.
- The issues in 2012 consist of completing the many details to go into the
TDR coherently with the other work packages, including costing

RF sys ystems ms
- Main
in Challenge ges
– Large number or resonators (>200) – Large beam loading (QL < 7x105) – Large Lorentz de-tuning (>50 degrees) – Long Pulse length (3 mS ~3 Lorentz detuning time constants) – Large dynamic range in power (elliptical cavities range from 50kW – to 900kW) – Large average power (15 MW of AC power)
- Main
in Features
– One RF power source per resonator – RF Sources
- Pulsed cathode klystrons for
elliptical, DTL, and RFQ
- Gridded tube for spokes (IOTs)
– Two klystrons per modulator for elliptical – 30% overhead for RF regulation
- Adaptive low level feed-forward
algorithms and Low gain feedback
- High bandwidth piezo tuners on
superconducting cavities
– Bundled waveguide stub layout

Main topics addressed: modeling codes, radiation issues, longitudinal and transverse measuring techniques Main message: more diagnostic equipment than envisaged ü The primary linac diagnostic needs include be beam m posit itio ion, be beam m arriv ival time ime (or phase), be beam m bu bunch ch lengt gth, be beam m transverse profil iles, and be beam m loss.
ü Especially important for high power operation are sensit itiv ive be beam m loss me measureme ment and profil ile resolutio ion over a wide dynamic range.
ü T echniques for halo me measureme ment in a superconducting environment need to be developed.

Long g Pulse and d co cold d neutrons
- Many

- There is
is a urge gent need d for a new high igh flux co cold neutron source ce in in Europe Europe
– The vast majority of users will profit from a pulsed structure – A large fraction of the users are fully satisfied by a long pulse source (approx 2 ms, 20 Hz) – Existing short pulse sources (ISIS, JPARC and SNS) can supply the present and imminent future need of short pulse users
“Pulsed cold neutrons will always be long pulsed as a result of the moderation process”
