A multi-MW superconducting proton linac is proposed as the baseline solution for the EURISOL and the XADS driver accelerators. In the EURISOL project, which studies the design of the next-generation European ISOL facility, it is used to produce both neutron-deficient and neutron-rich exotic nuclei far from the valley of stability. In the PDS-XADS project, which aims to the demonstration of the feasibility of an ADS system for nuclear waste transmutation, it is used to produce the neutron flux required by the associated sub-critical reactor. In this paper, we report the main results and conclusions reached within these preliminary design studies. A special emphasis is given on the on-going and future R&D to be done to accomplish the demonstration of the full technology.

In the framework of the SPIRAL II project, IPN Orsay is studying a 88 MHz β=0.12 super conducting quarter wave resonator prototype. Due to its low RF bandwidth (around 60 Hz) the resonator must have a very high mechanical stability and have small sensitivity to dynamic mechanical loads. To simulate the effects of geometrical deformations on the fundamental RF frequency a three dimensional analysis is required. The simulations were made by coupling mechanical FEM analysis performed in COSMOS/GEOSTAR™ with the RF electromagnetic FEM code MICAV™ integrated in the COSMOS/GEOSTAR™ interface. Static mechanical loads were first studied to reduce the effects of external pressure on the RF frequency shift and evaluate the tuning sensitivity of the cavity. Then, simulations on the dynamic response of the resonator, using the modal superposition analysis method, with random external pressure variations and harmonic excitation of the cavity were performed. This paper presents the results of the simulations and mechanical solutions chosen to increase the cavity RF frequency stability.
