Progress on the construction of the 100 MeV/100 kW electron linac for the NSC KIPT neutron source

IHEP, China is constructing a 100 MeV/100 kW electron Linac for NSC KIPT, Ukraine. This linac will be used as the driver of a neutron source based on a subcritical assembly. In 2012, the injector part of the accelerator was pre-installed as a testing facility in the experimental hall #2 of IHEP. The injector beam and key hardware testing results met the design goal. Recently, the injector testing facility was disassembled and all of the components for the whole accelerator have been shipped to Ukraine from China by the ocean shipping. The installation of the whole machine in KIPT will be started in June, 2013. The construction progress, the design and testing results of the injector beam and key hardware are presented.     

高能同步辐射光源直线加速器初期调束取得重要进展

高能同步辐射光源（HEPS）是中国第一台第四代高能同步辐射光源,其加速器由直线加速器、增强器、储存环及输运线组成。报道了HEPS直线加速器的初期束流调试重要进展。HEPS直线加速器是一台500 MeV S波段常温直线加速器,由热阴极电子枪、聚束系统、主直线加速器构成。在按时完成设备加工、安装和老练的基础上,于2023年3月9日启动束流调试,当天实现束流全线贯通。3月14日束流能量达到500 MeV,束团电荷量达到2.5 nC。经过测量,直线加速器出口束流能散0.4%,能量稳定度0.06%,水平和垂直几何发射度分别为233 nm和145 nm。目前直线加速器束团电荷量可达到7.0 nC,相关束流调试正在进行。
