FRIB is a heavy ion linac facility presently under construction at Michigan State University, USA, and its driver linac accelerates CW beams of all stable ions up to uranium to the energy of 200 MeV/u with the beam power of 400 kW. We plan to start beam commissioning of the driver linac from December 2017. An adequate software environment and infrastructure is critical for our commissioning and operation. Recently, a middle layer based architecture, EPICS V4 based services for example, for physics application has been rapidly developed at other facilities like NSLS II. It has been showing its flexibility, and portability. After reviewing those recent developments, we decided to adopt these services as software infrastructure for FRIB driver linac commissioning. It enables us to take advantage of their cutting edge technologies and maturity as a system sustained by the experience accumulated in the commissioning of NSLS-II. In this paper, we present a plan to develop physics application software for FRIB driver linac based on EPICS V4 services and related software. We also present a plan to adjust these EPICS V4 related software to meet the FRIB specific requirements.

  Machine and personnel safety are increasingly important for high power hadron linacs as involved beam power increases. Design requirements and characteristic features of machine protection system and personnel protection system for operating and proposed high power hadron linacs, such as J-PARC, SNS, FRIB, ESS, and IFMIF, are reviewed.

  J-PARC linac applies the Equi-partitioning (EP) setting as the base-line design. And it is the first machine to adopt this approach at the design stage. EP condition is a natural solution for avoiding emittance exchange between transverse and longitudinal planes. At J-PARC linac it is also possible to explore off-EP settings. One of the motivations could be a lattice with relaxed envelope for mitigating the intra-beam stripping (IBSt) effects in high current H beam. During and after the energy upgrade in Jan., 2014 and beam current upgrade in Oct., 2014, experiments were carried out to study the stability and emittance evolution for the EP and off-EP settings with high current H beam at J-PARC linac for better choices of lattice and better understanding.

  J-PARC linac iis replaced the front-end in the summer shutdown in year 2014 to extend the maximum peak current to 50 mA from 30 mA. By the combination with the energy upgrade conducted in year 2013, it becomes possible to achieve the design beam energy of 133 kW, which is corresponding to 1 MW at the extraction of 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Sychrotron (RCS). The beam commissioning after the replacement started at Sep./27, and we can successfully accelerate the beam at peak current of 30 mA and 50 mA. In this presentation, we introduce the resent progress of the beam commissioning of the J-PARC linac.

FRIB is using a charge stripper in folding segment 1 to increase the number of charge states of particles to enhance the acceleration efficiency. To control possible emittance growth after the charge stripper, the 3-dimensional on-stripper beam size should be as small as possible. The original 2-cavity-HWR (HWR stands for half wave resonator) rebuncher cryomodule is responsible for the longitudinal focusing before stripper. In order to accept and transport the beam downstream to linac segment 2, another kind of 3-cavity-QWR (QWR stands for quarter wave resonator) rebuncher cryomodule is baselined after the stripper. However, two kinds of cryomodules would increase the cost in design, therefore would be quite inefficient. In this paper, the FRIB lattice with only single-type 4-cavity-QWR rebuncher cryomodule in folding segment 1 is discussed. Positions of lattice elements are adjusted to accommodate the new type of cryomodule. Beam dynamics is optimized to meet the on-stripper beam requirement. The lattice is then adjusted and rematches.

The FRIB driver linac is a front runner for the future high power hadron linacs, making a full use of CW, superconducting acceleration from very low β. Accelerator Driven Nuclear Waste Transmutation System (ADS), International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), Project-X type proton accelerators for high energy physics and others may utilize the technologies developed for the design, construction, commissioning and power ramp up of the FRIB linac. Although each technology has been already well developed individually (except for charge stripper), their integration is another challenge. In addition, extremely high Bragg peak of uranium beams (several thousand times as high as that of proton beams) gives rise to one of the biggest challenges in many aspects. This report summarizes these challenges and their mitigations, emphasizing the commonly overlooked features.
