In 2011 construction of two intense-beam accelerators were launched for China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) project and China Accelerator Driven System (C-ADS) project. CSNS uses a pulsed accelerator with an H⁻ linac and a rapid cycling synchrotron, and C-ADS has a CW proton linac with superconducting cavities. In both cases, the beam power is high and beam loss control is a key issue in beam dynamics. Beam emittance growth and beam halo formation must be carefully studied in beam dynamics and well controlled in machine design. This paper will present a brief introduction to the physics design of the two intense-beam accelerators, especially on the issue of beam instability. In their linac design equapartitioning focusing scheme is adopted to avoid coupling instability. Some beam halo formation experimental results due to mismatching will be compared with simulations. Beam halo generation due to the quench of superconducting cavity and magnet is investigated in detail and compensation scheme is also proposed. Beam loss study for the error effects and orbit correction will be presented.

Superconducting cavities are employed in C-ADS linac to accelerate 10mA CW proton beams from 3.2 MeV to 1.5 GeV. High order modes in superconducting cavities are found by using the simulation tools CST and HFSS, then power dissipation caused by HOMs have been investigated, it is indicated that the Qext should not go beyond 10⁷} in order to limit the additional heat load. Beam instabilities caused by high order modes in elliptical cavity sections are investigated using the code offered by Dr. Jean-Luc Biarrotte (CNRS, IPN Orsay, France). Beam errors, linac errors and high order modes frequency spread are investigated in detail. It shows that the monopole modes do not affect the proton beam critically and need no HOM couplers (Q_ext=10⁵}) if high order modes frequency spread is more than 100 kHz.

A two-ring ferrite test system for ferrite-loaded cavities of Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) has been developed. By this system, the RF characteristics of full-sized ferrite cores of RCS cavities have been studied. On dc bias current, the swept frequency range and thresholds of High Loss Effect (HLE) have been presented. On ac bias current of 25 Hz, although the shunt impedance of the cores satisfies the CSNS cavity, comparing with the dc bias, more power dissipation and more required bias current have been observed because the induced magnetic anisotropy of the ferrite cores disappears. Consequently, it is important to evaluate the dynamic features of the cores with 25 Hz bias current for designing the cavities, the power supplies and the bias current sources.

The C-ADS linac is composed by two parallel injectors and a main linac, a section of Medium Energy Beam Line (MEBT2) is designed to guide and match beams from two injectors to the main linac. The two injectors are hot-spare for each other in order to satisfied the requirement of high availability and reliability. The beam in online operation mode will be directed to the main linac from one injector, while the beam in the offline mode with low repetition frequency from the other injector, will be directed to a beam dump through an auxiliary beam line. With a long drift distance and in the presence of space charge force for 10 mA 10 MeV proton beam, the debunching effect is very strong and it requires very strict control over beam losses and emittance growth. It is difficult to obtain satisfactory longitudinal matching without bunchers in the bending section. An analytical study using transfer matrix shows that with two bunchers of same voltage in the bending section the achromatism can be maintained if the effective voltage is inversely proportional to the distance between the two bunchers. It is also under consideration if and how a beam collimation can be implanted in MEBT2.

C-ADS Injector-I is a 10 mA 10 MeV CW proton linac. It uses a 3.2MeV normal conducting 4-Vane RFQ and 12 superconducting single-Spoke cavities. According to the detailed sensitivity analysis of alignment and RF errors, the error tolerance of both static and dynamic ones for Injector-I are presented. The simulation results show that with the error tolerance there are beam losses, the residual orbit is too large which will produce significant emittance growth, so the correction is necessary for Injector-I. After detailed numerical studies, a correction scheme and monitor distributions are proposed. After correction the RMS residual orbit can be controlled within 0.4mm and RMS emittance growth can be controlled within 10%, but it still has 1.7×10^-6 beam loss, which comes from the RF errors and low longitudinal acceptance. According to detailed analysis and simulations with 10⁸ macro particles, as a consequence, longitudinal emittance control and longitudinal distribution control as well as large longitudinal acceptance are the key to minimizing beam losses in low energy section. To minimize beam loss, a short period Injector-I lattice with larger longitudinal acceptance have been designed and performance very good error tolerance.

In order to achieve the required reliability and availability for the C-ADS accelerator, a fault tolerance design is pursued. The effects of cavity failure in different locations have been studied and the schemes of compensation by means of local compensation have been investigated. After one cavity failure, by adjusting the settings of the neighboring cavities and the focusing elements to make sure that the Twiss parameters and energy are approximately recovered to that of the nominal ones at the matching point. We find the normalized RMS emittance and emittances including 99.9% and 100% particles have no obvious growth after applying the compensation with the RMS rematching in each section of the main linac. However, the conclusions above are drawn from the simulation results with the TraceWin code, which doesn't consider the phase difference. A code based on Matlab is under developing. By applying the code on the cavity failure in the middle part of spoke021 section, a fully compensated scheme with good dynamics results is obtained. The space charge effect is still not implanted in the code, and further study and optimization of the code will be performed in the next step.

Two design schemes for the main linac of C-ADS (China Accelerator Driven Subcritical system) are presented in this paper. They are corresponding to two different injector schemes. Injector-II scheme makes use of room-temperature RFQ and superconducting HWR cavities with the RF frequency of 162.5 MHz; Injector-I scheme makes use of higher-energy RFQ and superconducting spoke cavities with the RF frequency of 325 MHz. At the first choice, a relatively smaller longitudinal emittance is adopted for the RFQ designs with both the injector schemes to obtain more efficient acceleration. However, compared with the injector-I scheme, with the injector-II scheme, bunch current will be doubled in the main linac due to the half RF frequency in the injector-II. This means stronger space charge effects. Alternate design for the main linac with the injector-II scheme is to increase the longitudinal emittance by 50% so that the space charge effects will be alleviated. However, totally 30 cavities more and 36 m longer in the main linac have to be paid for this design scheme. The design considerations, the lattice designs, the simulation results including halo information are presented.

Uniform beam distribution and minimum beam halo on target are often required in high intensity beam applications to prolong the target lifetime, ease cooling and obtain better irradiation effect. In this report, step-like nonlinear magnets instead of standard multipole magnets have been studied for the application at IFMIF. Although the preliminary results are still below the very critical requirement of spot uniformity at the IFMIF target, they are quite permissive. The method demonstrates significant advantages over the conventional combination of octupole and duodecapole on very low beam loss, better uniformity and very low cost. Further studies are needed to fully meet the IFMIF specifications.

Dual harmonic acceleration is proposed to alleviate the space charge effects in the RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) at the upgrading stages of the CSNS (China Spallation Neutron Source). Different dual harmonic acceleration schemes have been studied by using a self-made parameter calculation code - RAMADH and the simulation code - ORBIT. Both complete and partial coverage of the dual harmonic RF system along the acceleration have been considered. The injection by combining beam chopping and off-momentum is used in the macro-particle tracking simulations by ORBIT. In addition, a new idea that unlocks the RF frequency and the magnetic field in the injection period is found very useful in obtaining a good longitudinal painting.
