  One of the main components of the Accelerator Driven System (ADS) is a 1 GeV, high intensity CW proton accelerator. In India, it was planned to develop this accelerator in three phases: namely, the low energy linac (20 MeV), the medium energy linac (200 MeV) and high energy linac (1 GeV). In Phase 2 of this programme, at present, a 30 mA, 200 MeV proton linac operating in the CW mode is being designed and built. This linac will consist of an ion source and normal conducting RFQ followed by medium energy superconducting structures like the half wave resonator and single spoke resonator for acceleration of the beam to 200 MeV. Detailed beam dynamics including space charge effects and beam halo studies have been done for designing this linac. The paper will discuss the details of the beam dynamics design for such a linac.
