Project X, under study at Fermilab, is a multi task SRF beam facility, aiming to provide high intensity protons for rare processes experiments and nuclear physics at low energy, and simultaneously for the production of neutrinos, as well as muon beams in the long term. A beam test facility - former known as High Intensity Neutrino Source (HINS) - is under commissioning for testing critical components of the project, e.g. a beam chopper. In this paper we describe the layout of the test facility and present beam dynamics simulations and measurements.

Project X is a multi-megawatt proton facility being designed to support intensity frontier research in elementary particle physics, with possible applications to nuclear physics and nuclear energy research, at Fermilab. A Functional Requirements Specification has been developed in order to establish performance criteria for the Project X complex in support of these multiple missions. This paper will describe the Functional Requirements for the Project X facility and the rationale for these requirements.

Status of the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment (NDCX-II)

Funding: This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. DOE by LLNL under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344, by LBNL under Contract DE-AC02-05CH11231, and by PPPL under Contract DE-AC02-76CH03073.
The Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment (NDCX-II) is an induction accelerator project currently in construction at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for warm dense matter (WDM) experiments investigating the interaction of ion beams with matter at high temperature and pressure. The machine consists of a lithium injector, induction accelerator cells, diagnostic cells, a neutralized drift compression line, a final focus solenoid, and a target chamber. The machine relies on a sequence of acceleration waveforms to longitudinally compress the initial ion pulse from 600 ns to less than 1 ns in ~ 12 meters. Radial confinement of the beam is achieved with 2.5 T solenoids. In the initial hardware configuration, 30-50 nC of Li+ will be accelerated to 1.2 MeV and allowed to drift-compress to a peak current of ~ 20 A. Construction of the accelerator will be completed in the summer of 2011 and will provide a worldwide unique opportunity for ion-driven warm dense matter experiments as well as research related to novel beam manipulations for heavy ion fusion drivers. The basic design of the machine and the current status of the construction project will be presented.

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a 5 MW, 2.5 GeV long pulse proton linac, to be built and commissioned in Lund, Sweden. The Accelerator Design Update (ADU) project phase is under way, to be completed at the end of 2012 by the delivery of a Technical Design Report. Improvements to the 2003 ESS design will be summarised, and the latest design activities will be presented.

Experience with Recently Commissioned High Power Proton Accelerators and Prospects for the Future

S. Henderson
Fermilab, Batavia, USA

Two major high power proton accelerator facilities have recently been commissioned and are now in the early operations phase. The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) at JAEA, Tokai, Japan completed commissioning in 2009 and is now operating at beam power as high as 300 kW for the neutron scattering program, while providing beams also for the neutrino program. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is now operating at 1 MW beam power on target for its neutron scattering program. These facilities incorporate modern high-power accelerator design principles and their experience serves as a valuable stepping-stone to the high-power accelerators of the future, namely Project-X, the European Spallation Source, and accelerators for nuclear energy. Experience with commissioning and initial operation of these new facilities will be described and prospects for the future will be summarized.
