We present the design of the injection line into a separated sector cyclotron (SSC) aimed at the production of a high power beam of 800MeV/amu molecular H²⁺ for ADS-Reactor applications. To work out the beam line parameters and beam dynamics simulations, including the first accelerated turns, we used the ray-tracing code Zgoubi and the OPERA magnetic field map of the cyclotron sector. We simulated the injection path of the H²⁺ and evaluated both radial and vertical injection schemes in order to evaluate the parameters so derived. The paper details and discusses various aspects of that design study and its outcomes.

	The cyclotron complex for the DAEδALUS CP-Violation neutrino experiment consists of a compact cyclotron able to accelerate high-current (5 electrical milliamp) H²⁺ beams up to an energy of 60 MeV/amu, cleanly extract this beam with a conventional septum arrangement, and transport it to a superconducting ring cyclotron able to accelerate the beam up to 800 MeV/amu. H²⁺ is dissociated with thin stripping foils for efficient extraction as protons for transport to a megawatt-class target for neutrino production. The injection cyclotron will be similar to the one proposed for the IsoDAR experiment (Paper WEPPT029). The Ring cyclotron is similar in size and engineering concept to the SRC at RIKEN. Space-charge dominated beam dynamics simulations using OPAL have been performed for an 8-sector geometry, and indicate acceptable transmission and low beam losses. Subsequent engineering magnet-design studies of Minervini et al. point to a 6-sector configuration as more practical. Recalculation of the beam dynamics for this new configuration will be performed in the coming year. Results of the studies conducted to date will be presented.
