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. P.N. Ostroumov and K. W. Shepard, PRST-AB 4, 110101 (2001).
