  The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA cw deuteron accelerator prototype for verifying the validity of the accelerator design for IFMIF. A beam stop will be used for the RFQ and DTL commissioning as well as for the EVEDA accelerator tests. Therefore, this component must be designed to stop 5 MeV and 9 MeV deuteron beams with a maximum power of 1.12 MW. The first step of the design is the beam-facing material selection. The criteria used for this selection are low neutron production, low activation and good thermomechanical behavior. A thermomechanical analysis with ANSYS has been performed for a few materials which show good behavior from the radiological point of view. The input data are the expected beam shape and divergence at the beam dump entrance produced by the high energy beam line quadrupoles, a conical beam stop shape and the preliminary design of the cooling system. As a conclusion of the previous studies a conceptual design of the beam stop will be presented.

  The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA cw deuteron accelerator which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF accelerator. It is essential then to implement the necessary instrumentation for the commissioning, operation and correct characterization of the beam properties of the accelerator prototype. To achieve this goal, a complete set of instrumentation will be installed in the last part of the accelerator, just before the beam dump, in the so-called Diagnostics Plate (DP). It must allow the measurement of the main parameters of the beam: current, phase, position, transverse profile, energy, transverse halo, transverse emittance and longitudinal profile. The main challenges of such a measurement are the high damage power of the low-energy cw 125 mA beam, which precludes the use of interceptive instrumentation. In addition, the DP will not only be used during operation but also during the commissioning of the different accelerating structures at 5 and 9 MeV. In this contribution, the requirements imposed to the instrumentation, the type of techniques that will be used and a first conceptual design will be presented.

  The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA cw deuteron accelerator which will verify the validity of the design of the future IFMIF accelerator. A transport line is necessary to handle the high current beam from the DTL exit up to the beam dump. This line must produce the beam expansion to obtain an acceptable power density at the beam dump. Therefore the design of the transport line must consider the geometry and power handling capacity of the beam dump, the space requirements for diagnostics and the restrictions on the maximum length of the line. In addition, a bending magnet is required in order to avoid excessive irradiation of the diagnostics and line elements by neutrons and gammas produced at the beam dump and to perform energy spread measurements. In this contribution, the preliminary design of the high energy beam transport line will be presented. The results of a sensitivity study to the input beam and line elements errors will also be discussed.
