中国加速器驱动次临界系统主加速器初步物理设计

摘要

The China Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System,C-ADS,will use a linear accelerator delivering continuous-wave protons with an average current of 10 mA and a beam power of 15 MW to the sub-critical reactor.The main linac is an important part of the driver linac which is required to accelerate the beam from 10 MeV to 1.5 GeV.All the cavities in this part are superconducting structures.To avoid the frequently repeated beam interruptions causing damage to the reactor,the driver linac is requested to have a very limited number of beam interruptions during operation,thus fault tolerance strategy is implemented to the maximum possible extent and every possible solution is tried to ensure the highly required reliability and stability.In this paper,the baseline design of the main linac is introduced.The total length of the main linac is 306.4 m.The normalized root-mean-square emittance growth is controlled below 5 ％.The details of the design strategy together with the multiparticle simulation results are presented.%中国加速器驱动次临界系统(C-ADS)计划采用一个平均流强为10 mA的连续波质子加速器作为次临界堆的驱动器,驱动加速器的束流功率为15 MW,最终能量1.5 GeV,其中主加速器是驱动加速器的一个重要部分,完成束流能量从10MeV到1.5 GeV的加速,所有加速腔均采用超导结构.为了避免频繁束流中断对反应堆的损坏,设计要求驱动加速器在运行过程中束流可以中断的次数非常有限,因此加速器在设计过程植入了容错机制,尝试了各种可能的方法以最大程度地满足C-ADS加速器的高可靠性和稳定性的要求.介绍了C-ADS主加速器的基本设计:总长度306.4 m,束流的归-化RMS发射度增长控制在5％以内.总结了各个重要参数选择过程中的考虑以及整个加速段多粒子跟踪模拟的束流动力学结果.
