A revision of the physics needs and recent progress in the technology of superconducting (SC) RF cavities have triggered major changes in the design of a SC H- linac at CERN. With 4 - 5 MW beam power, the SPL can be the proton driver for a next generation ISOL-type radio-active beam facility ("EURISOL") and/or supply protons to a neutrino facility (conventional superbeam + beta-beam or neutrino factory). Furthermore the SPL can replace Linac2 and the PS booster, improving significantly the beam performance in terms of brightness, intensity, and reliability for the benefit of all proton users at CERN, including LHC and its luminosity upgrade. Compared with the first conceptual design, the beam energy is almost doubled (3.5 GeV instead of 2.2 GeV) while the length is reduced by 40%. At a repetition rate of 50 Hz, the linac re-uses decommissioned 352.2 MHz RF equipment from LEP in the low-energy part. Beyond 90 MeV the RF frequency is doubled, and from 180 MeV onwards high-gradient SC bulk-niobium cavities accelerate the beam to its final energy of 3.5 GeV. This paper presents the overall design approach, together with the technical progress since the first conceptual design in 2000.

In the framework of the European network HIPPI (High Intensity Pulsed Proton Injectors) a linac code comparison and benchmarking program have been promoted. An intermediate goal is to compare different space charge solvers and lattice modelling implemented in each code in preparation of experimental validations from future measurements to be carried out at the UNILAC of GSI. In the last two years a series of different tests and comparisons among several codes (DYNAMION, HALODYN, IMPACT, LORASAR, PARMILA, PATRAN, PATH and TOUTATIS) have been undertaken. The quality of Poisson solvers has been evaluated and a number of code adjustments has been carried out to obtain the best agreement in terms of RMS moments. In this paper we report on the status of this program.
