TU301 High Power CW Superconducting Linacs for EURISOL and XADS 275

  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.

TU302 Future Developments in Electron Linac Diagnostics 280

  The next generation of electron linacs will fill two different roles:
  1. ultra-low emittance, very high power accelerators for linear colliders and
  2. ultra-short bunch, high stability accelerators for SASE X-ray production.
In either case, precision control based on non-invasive, reliable, beam instrumentation will be required. For the linear collider, low emittance transport is an important concern for both warm and superconducting linacs. Instrumentation will be used to control and diagnostics will be used to validate emittance preserving strategies, such as beam based alignment and dispersion - free steering. Tests at the KEK ATF and the SLAC FFTB have demonstrated the required performance for beam position and beam size monitors. Linacs intended for FEL's will require precision bunch length diagnostics because of expected non-linear micro-bunching processes. A wide variety of devices are now in development at FEL prototypes, including TTF2 at DESY and SPPS at SLAC. We present a review of the new diagnostic systems.
