The multifunctional subcritical reactor MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hybrid research reactor for high-tech applications) will be an accelerator driven system (ADS) located in Mol (Belgium). The first accelerating section up to 17 MeV is operated at 176 MHz and consists of a 4-rod-RFQ followed by two room temperature CH cavities with integrated triplet lenses and four superconducting CH structures with intertank solenoids. Each room temperature CH cavity provides about 1 MV effective voltage gain using less than 30 kW of RF power. The superconducting resonators have been optimized for electric peak fields below 30 MV/m and magnetic peak fields below 30 mT. For save operation of the superconducting resonators the magnetic field of the intertank solenoids has to be well shielded towards the CH cavity walls. Different coil geometries have been compared to find the ideal solenoid layout.

A 17MeV, 176MHz, and CW (Continuous Wave) proton linac is being developed as the front end of the driver accelerator for the MYRRHA facility in Mol, Belgium. Based on the promising preliminary design, further simulation and optimization studies have been performed with respect to code benchmarking, RFQ simulation using realistic LEBT output distributions, and an updated CH-DTL design with more detailed inter-tank configurations. This paper summarizes the new results.

  As a part of the MAX project it will be demonstrated by simulations and thermal measurements, that a 4-rod-RFQ is the right choice even at cw-operation. A 4-rod Test-RFQ with a resonance frequency of 175 MHz has been designed and built for the MAX-Project. But the RFQ had to be modified to solve the cooling problem at cw-operation, the geometrical precision had to be improved as well as the rf-contacts. The developments led to a new layout and a sophisticated production procedure of the stems and the electrodes. Calculations show an improved Rp-value leading to powerlosses of ca. 25 kW/m only, which is about half of the powerlosses which could be achieved safely at cw-operation of the similar Saraf-RFQ. Thermal measurements and simulations with the single components are in progress. The temperature distribution in cw-operation will be measured and the rf-performance checked.
