  The success of Project-X accelerator facility crucially depends on reliable operation of 1 GeV superconducting (SC) continuous wave (CW) linac at first stage. Operation at high intensity in CW mode puts stringent tolerances on beamline elements. Any fault scenario that affects nominal operation of beamline elements results in beam mismatch with subsequent sections. This in turn leads to emittance growth, and ultimately triggers beam losses. In worst case, it could affect the reliability of the machine and long downtime may be needed to replace the faulty elements. In order to reduce beam interruptions, a robust lattice design is required which can allow local retuning to make the machine operable in such scenarios. This paper presents studies performed to understand the consequences of failure of various beamline elements and discusses outcome of local retuning for different fault scenarios at critical locations in linac.

  Project-X is a proposed high intensity proton facility to be built at Fermilab. It will be a multi-user facility which can support several experiments simultaneously. In the current scenario, Project-X facility would be built in three stages. Each stage is associated with compelling scientific programs and in synergy with Fermilab infrastructure. This paper will present reference design of Project-X accelerator facility and discuss main motivations and requirements resulting in this layout and beam optics.
