Conceptual Design of the Project-X 1.3 GHz, 3-8 GeV Pulsed Linac
- Fermilab
The Project-X, a multi-MW proton source, is under development at Fermilab. It enables a Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment via a new beam line pointed to DUSEL in Lead, South Dakota, and a broad suite of rare decay experiments. The facility co ntains 3-GeV 1-mA CW superconducting linac. In the second stage of about 5% of the H- beam is accelerated up to 8 GeV in a 1.3 GHz SRF pulse linac to Recycler/Main Injector. In order to mitigate the problem with the stripping foil heating during injection to the Main Injector, the pulses with higher current are accelerated in CW linac together with 1 mA beam for further acceleration in the pulse linac. The optimal current in the pulse linac is discussed as well as limitations that determine it's selection . A concept design of the pulse linac is described. The lattice design is presented as well as RF stability analysis. The necessity of the HOM couplers is discussed also.
