  High power proton and deuteron linear accelerators can give rise to a large variety of scientific applications, useful for both fundamental and applied research. Thanks to the on-going efficient development of the superconducting RF technology, more and more projects based on such machines have emerged during the last 2 decades. This paper will review these existing high power proton/deuteron accelerator facilities or projects, trying in particular to emphasize in each case the various specificities and challenges related to the SRF technology.

  The RISP (Rare Isotope Science Project) accelerator has been planned to study heavy ion of nuclear, material and medical science at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS). It can deliver ions from proton to Uranium. The facility consists of three superconducting linacs of which superconducting cavities are independently phased. Requirement of the linac design is especially high for acceleration of multiple charge beams. In this paper, we present the RISP linac design, the superconducting cavity, and cryomodule.

  Project X is a high intensity proton facility being developed to support a world-leading program of Intensity Frontier physics over the next two decades at Fermilab. The proposed facility is based on the SRF technology and consists of two linacs: CW linac to accelerate beam from 2.1 MeV to 3 GeV and pulsed linac accelerate 5% of the beam up to 8 GeV. In a CW linac five families of SC cavities are used: half-wave resonators (162.5 MHz); single-spoke cavities: SSR1 and SSR2 (325 MHz) and elliptical 5-cell β=0.6 and β=0.9 cavities (650 MHz). Pulsed 3-8 GeV linac linac are based on 9-cell 1.3 GHz cavities. In the paper the basic requirements and the status of development of SC accelerating cavities, auxiliaries (couplers, tuners, etc.) and cryomodules are presented as well as technology challenges caused by their specifics.

The MYRRHA research reactor will be an Accelerator Driven System, which demands a 2.4 MW proton beam delivered by a 600 MeV cw operated linac. The beam dynamics design of the injector has been consolidated to fulfil the requirements with respect to beam losses and quality. After a 4-rod-RFQ, four 7-gap room temperature CH cavities with a constant phase and an effective voltage of 750 keV are used to reach 4.3 MeV. Then the proton beam is accelerated to 18 MeV using six superconducting 5-gap Nb CH structures with a constant beta profile. With reducing the gradient and adjusting the phase of the twelfth CH structure the originally demanded 17 MeV can be delivered, too. Every SC CH cavity is cooled down to 2K with liquid helium in a separate cryo module. The new geometric design of the SC CH cavities improves the rigidity and reduces the electric peak field.

Acceleration of high-intensity light-ion beams immediately after an RFQ requires a compact accelerating and focusing lattice with a high packing factor. We have developed a cryomodule which satisfies this requirement with eight accelerating-focusing periods for Project X at FNAL. Each focusing period consist of a 162.5-MHz SC HWR, a SC solenoid and a beam position monitor. The highly optimized EM parameters of the cavity were achieved by using double conical, hour glass like, inner and outer conductors. This design is also favorable for the beam dynamics because the short focusing periods which helps to better control the beam quality. All sub-systems of the cryomodule, except the vacuum-vessel, are in advanced stages of prototyping and testing. A similar concept has been developed for the design of several cryomodules for a 20 MeV/u proton/deuteron 200 kW linac at SNRC. These cryomodules house two types of 176 MHz half-wave resonators and require only modest modifications for the application. This paper will discuss the status of the FNAL cryomodule design and sub-system fabrication and its impact on future HWR cryomodule such as the SNRC project.

In the framework of recent European programs (FP6-Eurotrans, FP7-MAX), the SC proton Linac for the MYRRHA project (associating an accelerator to a subcritical nuclear reactor, to be installed in the SCK•CEN at Mol-Belgium), has been extensively studied and optimized to reach strict requirements in beam power and reliability as needed for this ADS demonstrator. The linac, composed of 150 SC cavities (CH, spoke and elliptical) installed in 60 cryomodules, operates at 2K, delivering a beam power of 2.5 MW (600 MeV, 4 mA) in CW mode, will be installed in a tunnel of 240 m length. In this paper we present the evaluation of the cryogenic power requirements, a preliminary architecture of the cryogenic refrigerator system including all its major components, and preliminary proposals for the cryofluids distribution along the SC linac.

  Spoke superconducting cavity can be used in the low-energy section of the proton accelerator. It has many significant advantages: compact structure, high value of R/Q, etc. The Chinese ADS (Accelerator Driven System) project will adopt many spoke cavities with 3 different β values (0.12, 0.21, 0.40). Spoke040 cavities (β=0.40) are used to increase the proton energy from 34 MeV to 178 MeV. Now the physical design of spoke040 cavity has been finished, and the machining are going on right now. The vertical test would be held at the end of this year.

  A balloon geometry has been proposed to suppress multipacting for single spoke resonators. The design may find a useful application for proton and ion accelerator projects. TRIUMF has completed initial RF, mechanical, and fabrication studies on this special geometry for both low (β=0.12) and medium (β=0.3) β geometries. The RF properties are comparable with that of traditional spoke cavities but with improved RF efficiency in addition to the reduced multipacting. The results of electro-magnetic and structural design studies comparing the balloon geometry with traditional spoke geometries will be presented. We will also present optimization studies of the mechanical design, such as decreasing df/dp by EM field compensation as well as discussing tuning strategies and fabrication techniques.

  The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) design is based on a 40 MeV 5 mA light ions superconducting RF linac. Phase I of SARAF delivers up to 2 mA CW proton beam in an energy range of 1.5-4.5 MeV. The maximum beam power that we have reached is 4.5 kW. The warming of the SARAF linac RF couplers is currently the main limiting factor for reaching higher CW beam power. The coupler cooling configuration was optimized by increasing the cold window copper braid and adding a copper braid to the top end, using CST Multiphysics and ANSYS steady state and transient solvers. The study was conducted for the heat load generated by the surface currents of a matched 4 kW forward CW power, simulated by the CST MWS FD solver. Multipacting is a known potential heat source that overheats the coupler in the vicinity of the cold window. The coupler overheat phenomena was experimentally studied as a function of DC bias voltage, and it was found that a 900 V bias reduces significantly the heating rate. As a result we expect that the beam power can be significantly increased. The long overheat period implies that optimization of the cooling configuration is still needed.

Project X is a GeV range high intensity proton linear accelerator being developed at Fermilab, USA in collaboration with various American and Indian laboratories as well. In stage-1 of the project, the CW linac structures with different velocity factor (beta) accelerate proton up to 3 GeV at an average beam current of 1 mA. For acceleration from 180 to 480 MeV,the development of 650 MHz, beta 0.61, 5-cell elliptical SRF cavities has been taken up by VECC. The EM design and analysis of this cavity, carried out using 2D and 3D codes, will be discussed along with its structural and mechanical modal analysis. This design has been compared with the designs made by JLab and Fermilab. The presence of higher order modes (HOMs)for the said cavity has been thoroughly examined. The multipacting analysis will be presented using 2D code and also 3D CST Particle Studio code with due consideration of Furman model for secondary electron emission comprising of true, elastic and rediffused secondary electrons. The prototype development and low power testing of this cavity will be discussed here. The talk will be concluded with the probable SRF challenges to be faced in the development of the cavity.

  The Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) is an R&D effort coordinated by CERN in partnership with other international laboratories. It is aiming at developing key technologies for the construction of a multi-megawatt proton linac based on state-of-the-art RF superconducting technology, which would serve as a driver in new physics facilities for neutrinos and/or Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB). Amongst the main objectives of this R&D effort, is the development of 704 MHz bulk niobium β=1 elliptical cavities, operating at 2 K with a maximum accelerating gradient of 25 MV/m, and the testing of a string of cavities integrated in a machine-type cryomodule. The cavity together with its helium tank had to be carefully designed in coherence with the innovative design of the cryomodule. New fabrication methods have also been explored. Five such niobium cavities and two copper cavities are in fabrication. The key design aspects are discussed, the results of the alternative fabrication methods presented and the status of the cavity manufacturing and surface preparation is detailed.
