  The SARAF 176 MHz accelerator is designed to provide CW proton/deuteron beams up to 5 mA current and 40 MeV accelerated ion energy. Phase I of SARAF (up to 4-5 MeV) has been installed, commissioned, and is available for experimental work. Phase II of SARAF is currently in the planning stage and will contain larger MEBT with three rebunchers and four cryomodules, each consisting of SC HWRs and solenoids. Phase II MEBT line is designed to follow a 1.3 MeV/u RFQ, is 4.5 m long, and contains three 176 MHz rebunchers providing a field integral of 105 kV. Different rebuncher configurations have been studied in order to minimize the RF losses and maximize the shunt impedance. Different apertures have also been tested with a required of 40 mm diameter by beam dynamics. The simulations were done using CST Microwave Studio. CEA leads the design for SARAF phase II linac including the MEBT rebunchers and has studied a mixed solid copper and Cu plated stainless steel, 3-gap cavity. SNRC is developing a 4-gap OFHC copper rebuncher as a risk reduction. Both designs are presented and discussed in the paper.

  Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. DOE Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. This research used resources of ANL's ATLAS facility, a DOE Office of Science User Facility.
The motivations and the concept for the multi-user upgrade of the ATLAS facility at Argonne were presented at recent conferences. With the near completion of the integration of the CARIBU-EBIS for more pure and efficient charge breeding of radioactive beams, more effort is being devoted to study the design options for a potential ATLAS mutli-user upgrade. The proposed upgrade will take advantage of the pulsed nature of the EBIS beams and the cw nature of ATLAS, in order to simultaneously accelerate beams with very close charge-to-mass ratios. In addition to enhancing the nuclear physics program, beam extraction at different points along the linac will open up the opportunity for other possible applications. Different beam injection and extraction schemes are being studied and will be presented.

  In the last years the SARAF 176 MHz 3.8 m long 4-rod RFQ accelerates routinely 2-4 mA CW proton beams to 1.5 MeV for basic studies in physics. However, it has not been successful in running CW deuteron beam for long periods. The findings imply that the RF coupler is the bottle neck to reach 250 kW CW dissipated power, equivalent to 65 kV inter-rod voltage, required to run the CW deuteron beam. A new design that splits the RFQ power between two couplers was built and commissioned successfully. A 3dB splitter and two new RF couplers were installed. The RF couplers improved design allows better brazing methods, vacuum properties and RF sealing. This design is innovative from two points of view: (a) implementation of two synchronized couplers located in two separated RF cells in a 4-rod RFQ. (b) The ability to run the RFQ in 200-250 kW to accelerate a 5 mA CW deuteron beam by 2.6 MV required for the new modulation design for 1.3 MeV/u. To our knowledge, SARAF RFQ will be the first 4-rod RFQ capable of running a CW deuteron beam at these power densities. This work may contribute to other 4-rod RFQ projects which intend to run CW beams in high dissipation power, like FRANZ and MYRRHA.
