  This paper presents an analysis of beam losses along the current design of the FNAL 3 GeV superconducting cw linac. Simulations from the RFQ exit up to the end of the linac (~430 meters) are performed on the FermiGrid using the beam dynamics code TRACK. The impact of beam mismatch, element misalignments, and RF jitter on the beam dynamics is discussed and corresponding beam loss patterns are presented. A correction scheme to compensate for misalignments is described.

The High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) ‘Six-Cavity Test’ has demonstrated the use of high power RF vector modulators to control multiple RF cavities driven by a single high power klystron to accelerate a non-relativistic beam. Installation of 6 cavities in the existing HINS beamline has been completed and beam measurements have started. We present data showing the energy stability of the 7 mA proton beam accelerated through the six cavities from 2.5 MeV to 3.4 MeV.

  Superconducting CW linac was proposed for Project X to accelerate H beam from 2.1 MeV to 3 GeV with nominal peak and average currents of respectively 5 mA and 1 mA. Linac built of 5 different families of resonators: half-wave, spoke (2), and elliptical (2) working at 162.5 MHz 325 MHz and 650 MHz to cover all energy range. Cavities and focusing elements are assembled in cryomodules. In baseline design all cryomodules are separated by short warm sections. It makes machine more reliable and maintainable and provide space for beam diagnostics and collimation. A long (~10m) gap between cryomodules at1 GeV is also being considered to provide space for beam extraction for nuclear experimental program. In paper we present the latest lattice of the linac baseline design and results of beam studies for this lattice. We briefly compare performance of the baseline design with alternative one without half-wave resonator section.
