Funding: ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. The Spallation Neutron Source Linac utilizes normal conducting RF cavities in the low energy section from 2.5 MeV to 186 MeV. Six Drift Tube Linac (DTL) structures accelerate the beam to 87 MeV, and four Coupled Cavity Linac (CCL) structures provide further acceleration to 186 MeV. The remainder of the Linac is comprised of 81 superconducting cavities packaged in 23 cryomodules to provide a final beam energy of approximately 1 GeV. The superconducting Linac has proven to be substantially more reliable than the normal conducting Linac despite the greater number of stations and the complexity associated with the cryogenic plant and distribution. A conceptual design has been initiated on a replacement of the DTL and CCL with superconducting RF cavities. The motivation, constraints, and conceptual design are presented. |

| The baseline design for the ESS-Bilbao light-ion linear accelerator and neutron source (a facility compliant with the ESS-AB requirements) has been completed and the normal conducting section of the linac (RFQ and DTL) is at present under detailed design and construction. Starting at 50 MeV, it is proposed to follow this section with a superconducting section composed of double and triple spoke cavities grouped in cryomodules of 2 or 3 cavities reaching a maximum energy of 300 MeV. After an initial R&D program on spoke cavities with an aluminum model, detailed electromagnetic and mechanical studies of a beta 0.50, 352MHz, double spoke cavity were performed. The results of the calculations are presented in this paper. It is proposed to continue this development by the construction and test of the niobium cavities prototypes and initiating the study of a cryo-module with two cavities that could be tested with beam at the ESS-Bilbao facility. | |||
