Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at MSU includes a driver linac that can accelerate all stable isotopes to energies beyond 200 MeV/u at beam powers up to 400 kW. The linac consists of 330 superconducting quarter- and half-wave resonators operating at 2 K temperature. Physical challenges include acceleration of multiple charge states of beams to meet beam-on-target requirements, efficient production and acceleration of intense heavy-ion beams from low to intermediate energies, accommodation of multiple charge stripping scenarios (liquid lithium, helium gas, and carbon foil) and ion species, designs for both baseline in-flight fragmentation and ISOL upgrade options, and design considerations of machine availability, tunability, reliability, maintainability, and upgradability. We report on the FRIB accelerator design and developments with emphasis on technical challenges and progress. |

Funding: This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science under Cooperative Agreement DE SC0000661. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will utilize a high-intensity, superconducting heavy-ion driver linac to provide stable ion beams from protons to uranium up to energies of >200 MeV/u and at a beam power of up to 400 kW. The ions are accelerated to about 0.5 MeV/u using a room-temperature 80.5 MHz RFQ and injected into a superconducting cw linac consisting of 330 individual low-beta cavities in 49 cryomodules operating at 2 K. This paper discusses the current status of the linac SRF acquisition strategy as the project phases into construction mode. |
