SARAF phase II linac is designed for 5 mA 40 MeV proton and deuteron beams. One option is to base the design on Quarter Wave Resonators (QWR). It is suggested to compensate the QWR non-symmetric magnetic field component by introducing a drift tube face tilt angle*. Here we explore the applicability of this steering correction scheme to the acceleration of a CW high current low β light ion beam in an end-to-end 88 MHz QWR lattice. This can serve as a case study for multi-megawatt machines that are currently being designed by ANL. An analytical approximation is used to evaluate the on-axis beam steering behavior. Two 88 MHz QWR cavities, β=0.08 and 0.15, were designed, field and beam dynamics were simulated and optimized. Using the tube face tilt angle concept the beam steering along a QWR can be reduced to the order of 0.1 mrad. Beam dynamics lattice examination including error analysis demonstrated an efficient high performance 40 MeV linac based on 3 superconducting modules with 19 QWRs (Ep < 35 MV/m and Bp < 70 mT). The fields obtained at recent ANL tests for a 73 MHz QWR (70 MV/m and 105 mT) imply that Ep is not a real limiting factor.

The recent discovery of neutrino oscillations, has implications for the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). Knowing the contribution of neutrinos to the SM, needs precise measurements of the parameters governing the neutrino oscillations. The EUROν Design Study will review three facilities (the so-called Super-Beams, Beta Beams and Neutrino Factories) and perform a cost assessment that, coupled with the physics performance, will give means to the European research authorities to make a decision on future European neutrino oscillation facility. "Beta Beams" produce collimated pure electron (anti-)neutrino by accelerating beta active ions to high energies and having them decay in a storage ring. EUROν Beta Beams are based on CERN’s infrastructure and existing machines. Using existing machines is an advantage for the cost evaluation, however, this choice is also constraining the Beta Beams. Recent work to make the Beta Beam facility a solid option will be described: production of Beta Beam isotopes, the 60 GHz pulsed ECR source development, integration into the LHC-upgrades, ensure the high intensity ion beam stability, and optimizations to get high neutrino fluxes.
