Linear hadron accelerators
of high intensity/power/energy are at the core of many contemporary
projects in the world. They cover a broad range of applications which reflects in the large span of their characteristics and their very different level of advancement, some
of them being already approved and in construction, others being simply contemplated as long term possibilities.
Based on an original table by T. Wangler (LANL), the
compendium given in Table 1 was elaborated during the
workshop with the help of the participants. Issues related
to these machines were presented either in plenary talks
or during the two sessions of working group 2. They all
use superconducting RF structures.
The FNAL 8 GeV linac (W. Foster) stands out as the
highest energy project, relying on TESLA technology
to keep cost acceptable, using a high RF frequency (1.2
GHz) and a very high gradient (~ 23 MV/m). On the opposite , the 2.2 GeV CERN SPL proposal (R. Garoby)
makes use of existing cavities recuperated from LEP,
with a low RF frequency (352 MHz) and a modest gradient (~ 9 MV/m). The other projects assume the construction of accelerating structures optimised for their own
use, with intermediate RF frequencies (600-800 MHz)
and gradients (~ 16 MV/m). Considerations about RF
adjustment and losses in the SNS linac were presented by
S. Nath (LANL). M. Ikegami described the status of the
linac accelerator for the JKJ project in Japan. The plans
and studies for ESS and IFMIF (R. Ferdinand), CERN
SPL and TRASCO (C. Pagani) were the subject of talks.
A. Takagi showed the results obtained with a fast beam
chopper modulating energy in front of an RFQ. These
presentations and the active discussions they triggered
clearly demonstrate that high performance hadron linacs
is nowadays a very active field where significant progress
can be expected in the coming years.
