WEPMN055 | RAMI Optimization-Oriented Design For The LIPAc RF Power System | 3048 |
|
||
Funding: This work has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is currently under construction in Rokkasho (Japan). LIPAc will generate a CW 9 MeV deuteron beam at 125 mA. It will serve to validate the final IFMIF accelerator concept and technologies. The RF power system is being integrated by CIEMAT (Spain) in collaboration with its partner companies and European institutes. LIPAc RF Power System design has been performed aiming high reliability, high availability and easy maintainability to address one of the most important requirements for IFMIF. The target of LIPAc tests is to validate the technologies and designs for the final phase of IFMIF. Several improvements in reliability, availability and maintainability have been implemented in the LIPAc RF power System. These improvements are based on both, new technologies and new maintenance philosophy. The results of their first tests are shown in this paper. Additional potential improvements are also analyzed. |

WEPMN056 | High Power Testing of the First Re-buncher Cavity for LIPAC | 3051 |
|
||
Funding: This work is partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under projects AIC-A-2011-0654 and the Agreement as published in BOE, 16/01/2013, page 1988 Two re-buncher cavities will be installed at the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) of the LIPAc accelerator, presently being built at Rokkasho (Japan). They are IH-type cavities with 5 gaps and will provide an effective voltage of 350 kV at 175 MHz for deuterons at 5 MeV. The first prototype has been designed at CIEMAT and built by the Spanish industry. The high power tests and RF conditioning have been successfully performed at the ALBA/CELLS RF laboratory. A solid state power amplifier, which has been developed by CIEMAT and its partner companies at Spain for the LIPAc RF System, has been used for the tests. The cavity has shown a performance according to calculations, regarding the dissipated power, peak temperatures and coupling factor. RF conditioning was started with a duty cycle of 3%, which was increased gradually till continuous wave (CW), which is the nominal working mode in LIPAc. |

THPF006 | Design and Manufacturing Status of the IFMIF-LIPAC SRF LINAC | 3686 |

The IFMIF accelerator aims to provide an accelerator-based D-Li neutron source to produce high intensity high energy neutron flux for testing of candidate materials for use in fusion energy reactors. The first phase of the project, called EVEDA (Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities) aims at validating the technical options by constructing an accelerator prototype, called LIPAc (Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator) whose construction has begun. It is a full scale of one of the IFMIF accelerator from the injector to the first cryomodule. The cryomodule contains all the necessary equipment to transport and accelerate a 125 mA deuteron beam from an input energy of 5 MeV up to output energy of 9 MeV. It consists of a horizontal vacuum tank approximately 6 m long, 3 m high and 2.0 m wide, and includes 8 superconducting HWRs working at 175 MHz and at 4.45 K for beam acceleration. 8 Power Couplers provide RF power to the cavities up to 70 kW CW in the LIPAc case and 200 kW CW in the IFMIF case, with 8 Solenoid Packages acting as focusing elements. This paper gives an overview of the progress, achievements and status of the IFMIF SRF LINAC. | ||
