| TUPVA062 | Construction of the MYRRHA Injector | 2221 |
|
||
| A collaboration of SCK•CEN, IAP and BEVATECH GmbH is currently constructing the room temperature CH section of the 16.6 MeV CW proton injector for the MYRRHA project. The elaboration of all the construction readiness files for the construction of the accelerating cavities of the first CH section (1.5 to 5.9 MeV) is ongoing. In parallel, the planning, development and fabrication of all further components of this accelerator section is in progress, while the full study for the remaining section is under preparation. This contribution is documenting the most recent status. | ||

| TUPVA068 | The New Injector Design for MYRRHA | 2234 |
|
||
| The MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) Project is a planned accelerator driven system (ADS) for the transmutation of long-living radioactive waste. A critical passage for the beam quality and especially for the emittance is the injector. Therefore, a new injector design with improved beam dynamics has been developed, featuring low emittance growth rates while using only room temperature structures. The previous design consisted of a 4-Rod RFQ, 7 room temperature and 5 superconducting CH-DTL cavities and 2 rebuncher cavities, whereas the superconducting cavities in the new design have been replaced by 8 room temperature CHs and an additional rebuncher. The main challenge during the development is achieving the required reliability to reduce the thermal stress inside the planned reactor. Therefore, simulations with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO have been made to compare several cooling concepts and to optimize the cavities, especially in terms of the shunt impedance. | ||

| TUPVA069 | Test of a High Power Room Temperature CH DTL Cavity | 2237 |
|
||
| The Frankfurt Neutron Source at the Stern-Gerlach-Zentrum (FRANZ) is planned to deliver ultra-short neutron pulses at high intensities and repetition rates. As part of FRANZ a 175 MHz room temperature 5-gap CH DTL cavity was designed and built. Its main task will be focusing the particle bunch longitudinally at 2 MeV particle energy. Furthermore the CH cavity can also be used to increase the energy as well as decrease it by 0.2 MeV. The rebuncher and its cooling system is optimized to work with a 5 kW amplifier. The amplification system is intended to provide continuous power (cw mode). Due to its operating parameters being nearly identical to the requirements of the MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) Project, experience for future cavity designs was gained. This includes considerations concerning cooling with use of a 12 kW amplifier. The recent results of conditioning and high power tests will be presented. | ||

| TUPVA070 | Dipole Compensation of the 176 MHz MYRRHA RFQ | 2240 |
|
||
|
The MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) Project is planned as an accelerator driven system (ADS) for the transmutation of long-living radioactive waste. For this project a cw 4-Rod-RFQ with 176 MHz and a total length of about 4 m is required. It is supposed to accelerate protons from 30 keV up to 1.5 MeV*. One of the main tasks during the development of the RFQ is the very high reliability of the accelerator to limit the thermal stress inside the reactor. Another challenge was to compensate the dipole component of the MYRRHA-RFQ which is due to the design principle of 4-Rod-RFQs. This dipole component is responsible for shifting the ideal beam axis from the geometrical center of the quadrupole downwards. Design studies with CST MICROWAVE STUDIO have shown that the dipole component can be almost completely compensated by widening the stems alternately so that the current paths of the lower electrodes are increased.

| TUPVA071 | The MYRRHA-RFQ - Status and First Measurements | 2243 |
|
||
|
Funding: H2020, European Commission, grant agreement number 662186 (MYRTE) The MYRRHA project requires a proton linac with an energy of 600 MeV with a beam current of 4 mA in cw operation. As first RF structure a 176 MHz 4-Rod RFQ has been chosen because of tuning possibilities, maintenance, lower capital costs and technological risk compared to a 4-Vane-RFQ. The aim of beam dynamics design was to preserve excellent beam quality and to avoid the creation of halo particles especially in the longitudinal plane. Using the NFSP (New Four-Section Procedure) with a soft and symmetric pre-bunching with full 360° acceptance it was possible to reach the requirements. The simulated transmission of the 4 m long RFQ is close to 100%. The electrode voltage has been chosen to 44 kV which gives enough transverse focusing but limits the required RF losses to about 25 kW/m. The cooling has been optimized for reliable operation and a new method of dipole compensation has been applied. The RFQ has been built and tuned with respect to field flatness. The paper describes the status of the RFQ and first measurements. |
