  We designed one 100MeV/100kW electron linear accelerator for NSC KIPT, which will be used to drive a neutron source on the base of subcritical assembly. Beam dynamics studies has been conducted to reach the design requirement (E=100MeV, P=100kW, dE/E<1% for 99% particles). In this paper, we will present the progress of the design and dynamics simulation results. For high intensity and long beam pulse linear accelerators, BBU effect is one big issue; special care has been taken in the accelerating structure design. To satisfy the energy spread requirement at the linac exit, the particles with large energy difference from the synchronous particle should be eliminated at low energy stage to ease the design of the collimation system and radiation shielding. A dispersion free chicane with 4 bending magnets is introduced at the downstream of the 1st accelerating section; the unwanted particles will be collimated there.

  In NSC KIPT, Kharkov, Ukraine, a neutron source on the base of subcritical assembly driven by 100 MeV/100 kW electron linear accelerator is under design and development. To provide neutron flux value of about 1013 neutron/s the electron linear accelerator with 100 MeV beam and average beam power of 100 kW will be used. Construction and manufacture of the linear accelerator of such high beam intensity with low emittance and beam losses is a challenging task. In the report the project of the electron linear accelerator of the required beam energy and intensity is described. The accelerator structure and main technical solutions are presented. To overcome the BBU effect of this high average beam current, several effective measures are adopt, such as using constant gradient structure to spread the HOMs frequencies different cells, larger inner radius and shorter section length make the higher group velocity and optimize the structure geometry to keep the shunt impedance as good as possible. After the beam bunching system, a chicane is followed to chopper the beam to avoid the beam lost in the higher energy part.

  NSC KIPT neutron source will use 64x64 mm rectangular tungsten or uranium target. To generate maximum neutron flux, prevent overheating of the target and reduce thermal stress one should provide homogeneous electron beam distribution at the target surface. In the facility transportation channel three different possibilities of electron beam density redistribution along the target surface can be realized. It can be the fast beam scanning with two dimensional scanning magnets; the method of uniform beam distribution formation with linear focusing elements (dipole and quadrupole magnets) and nonlinear focusing elements (octupole magnets), when final required rectangular beam shape with homogeneous beam density is formed at target; and combined method, when one forms the small rectangular beam with homogeneous beam density distribution and scan it over the target surface with scanning magnets. In the report the all tree methods are considered and discussed considering the layout of the NSC KIPT transportation channel. Calculation results show that the proposed transportation channel lattice can provide uniform beam of rectangular shape with sizes 64x64 mm without target overheating.

  NESTOR is Compton X-ray source that is under commissioning in NSC KIPT. One of the main parts of the facility is the middle energy storage ring (40-225 MeV). The storage ring has comprehensive lattice to provide low emittance, low beam size in the interaction point and big value of the energy acceptance. One of the NESTOR storage ring lattice feature is use of bending magnets of 0.5 m radius with combined focusing function. It leads to increasing of 3D magnetic field effects on electron beam dynamics. After NESTOR magnetic element manufacturing characteristics of element magnetic fields were measured and the effect of the real magnetic field distribution on beam dynamics was calculated. As a result, to provide project X-ray source characteristics the parameters of NESTOR storage ring lattice should be modified. The second reason for the lattice modification was the desire to increase the interaction point straight section length. The results of the beam dynamics simulation after lattice modification and optimization show that the storage ring will provide all project electron beam parameters. The results of the electron beam simulations are presented in the paper.
