Soreq NRC recently initiated the establishment of SARAF – Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility. SARAF will be a multi-user facility for basic, medical and biological research, non-destructive testing (NDT) and research, development and production of radio-isotopes for pharmaceutical purposes. An on going major activity is research and development of high heat flux (up to 80 kW on a few cm2) irradiation targets. SARAF is based on a continuous wave (CW), proton/deuteron RF superconducting linear accelerator with variable energy (5–40 MeV) and current (0.04-2 mA). SARAF is designed to enable hands-on maintenance, which implies beam loss below 10-5 for the entire accelerator. The commissioning of the Phase I of SARAF (full current, energy up to 4-5 MeV) is taking place during 2006 at Soreq. This paper describes the SARAF project and presents commissioning of the normal conducting injector (i.e., ECR ion source and RFQ). Test results of the β=0.09 half wave superconducting resonators are presented, and resonator geometry improvements with respect to electron multipacting behavior is discussed. An outlook on the project regarding reaching the final energy of 40 MeV is given.

A prototype superconducting accelerating module housing six 176 MHz half wave resonators and three superconducting solenoids is currently under production at Accel as part of a 40 MeV linear accelerator at the Soreq NRC. The module will accelerate protons and deuterons from energy of 1.5 MeV/u up to 6.5 MeV. The design is based on a peak electric field gradient of 25 MV/m and maximum 10 W of power dissipation in the helium bath by each cavity. Main design considerations of the cavities, solenoids, tuners and couplers as well as for the module especially in view of assembly and alignment will be presented. First cold cavity test results obtained in Accel’s new cold RF test facility will be presented. Prototypes of the tuner, helium vessel, solenoids and the couplers are under construction and partly under test.

In the last 15 years the worldwide TESLA collaboration under the leadership of DESY performed successful developements of SRF technology for possible use in a future international linear collider (ILC). Today this technology is also the baseline for other demanding projects like the European X-FEL at DESY site, 4GLS at Daresbury, BESSY FEL, Cornell-ERL, FEL at Peking University and others. Through all these years ACCEL has followed and supported this tremendous developement by producing and processing SRF cavities, couplers and complete accelerator modules. The current ability and future prospects of ACCEL for manufacturing and processing such key components as well as turnkey SRF modules with guaranteed performance for such projects are described.
