  The e-Linac cryomodules require high RF power, cryogenics, ultra-high vacuum, and precise mechanical adjustment. They require protection against of failures, like quench in the cavity, bad vacuum or multipacting in power couplers, low liquid helium level or high temperatures. The protection unit should stop RF power in the cryomodule in case of the listed failures. A Interlock Box is developed to implement protection function for the cryomodule. The paper will describe the design of Interlock Box for e-Linac cryomodule protection. As quench protection required, quench evolution analysis with RF transient analysis is investigated. The details of quench detection for e-Linac will also be reported.

  ARIEL e-LINAC is a ½ MW-class SRF accelerator operated at 10 mA of average current. In the initial commissioning, e-LINAC will be tested with increasing duty factors from 0.1% up to CW mode. During the pulsed mode operation, beam loading causes cavity gradient fluctuation and therefore transient behaviour of SRF Cavity gradient needs to be studied in order to determine how the Low-level RF (LLRF) should be implemented. Performance of LLRF control system with and without non-adaptive feed-forward are simulated to determine the resulting beam energy spread and experimental measurements are proposed to measure the increase of beam size due to beam loading.

  Recently we proposed a new project aimed at intensity upgrade of uranium beams of RIKEN RIBF. In this new project, construction of a superconducting linac is planned replacing the injector cyclotron so called RRC. The RIKEN superconducting linac consists of 14 cryomodules each of which contains four quarter-wave-resonators (QWRs) in each. The QWR operates at an rf frequency of 73 MHz in the continuous wave mode with beta as low as 0.055-1.008. A coaxial probe-type RF fundamental power-coupler which transmits RF power of several kW will be utilized for beam loading of 1.3 kW/resonator at the maximum with Qext of several x106. Tuning of the resonant frequency will be realized with a mechanical tuner pressing the resonator wall in the direction parallel to the beam. This year, we started a development of a test cryomodule with SC-QWRs. In this paper, design studies for a SC-QWR and its cryomodule, e.g., QWR, coupler, and, tuner will be presented together with a construction schedule of the prototype. Prototyping of a superconducting cavity and its test cryomodule was funded by ImPACT Program of Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (Cabinet Office, Government of Japan).
