BEAM DYNAMICS FOR THE 1 GeV PROTON LINAC FOR ADS

摘要

High-power proton linacs have various applications such as Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) for transmutation or energy production, neutron spallation source for condensed matter studies, neutrino factories and muon colliders, production of rare isotope beams for nuclear physics studies, etc. These linear accelerators are required to deliver proton beams of up to several MW to several tens of MW power and operate with CW or pulsed high intensity beams. In particular, Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) [1] have evoked considerable interest in the nuclear community the world over because of their capability to incinerate the MAs (minor actinides) and LLFPs (Long-lived Fission Products) radiotoxic waste and utilization of Thorium as an alternative nuclear fuel.
