Abstract: | The Nuclear Science Community in the Unites States has unanimously concluded that developments in both nuclear science and
its supporting technologies make building a world-leading Rare-Isotope Accelerator (RIA) facility for production of radioactive
beams the top priority. The RIA development effort involves several US Laboratories (ANL, JLAB, LBNL, MSU, ORNL). The RIA
facility includes a CW 1.4 GeV driver LINAC and a 100 MV post-accelerator both based on superconducting (SC) cavities operating
at frequencies from 48 MHz to 805 MHz. An initial acceleration in both LINACs is provided by room temperature RFQs. The driver
LINAC is designed for acceleration of any ion species; from protons up to 900 MeV to uranium up to 400 MeV/u. The novel feature
of the driver LINAC is an acceleration of multiple charge-state heavy-ion beams in order to achieve 400 kW beam power. Basic
design concepts of the driver LINAC are given. Several new conceptual solutions in beam dynamics, room temperature and SC
accelerating structures for heavy ion accelerator applications are discussed. |
