China Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (C-ADS) program was launched in China in 2011, which aims to design and build an ADS demonstration facility with the capability of more than 10 MW thermal power in multiple phases lasting about 20 years. In the first phase, a demo linac has been constructed and commissioned successfully to demonstrate the key technologies of the high-power CW mode superconducting linac. Followed the China ADS roadmap, a superconducting driver linac with 500MeV and 5mA proton beam is designed for the second phase of China Initiative Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (CiADS) program. The commissioning results of the China ADS 25 MeV demo linac and the RAMI oriented beam physics design of CiADS linac are presented in this paper., Proceedings of the 14th Int.

An Electron Ion Collider (EIC) is the highest priority for future U.S. accelerator-based nuclear physics facility following the completion of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Two laboratories are competing to host the future EIC: Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL) and Jefferson Lab. (JLab). The baseline design of JLab’s Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) ion complex comprises a pulsed superconducting (SC) linac injector capable of accelerating all ions from protons to lead, where proton and light ion beams can be polarized. After reviewing the design requirements for the injector linac, important design choices such as the room-temperature (RT) section design, the transition energy between the RT and SC sections and the stripping energy for heavy ions will be discussed. The design of the different linac sections will be presented as well as the results of end-to-end beam dynamics simulations for polarized deuterons and un-polarized lead ions., Proceedings of the 14th Int.

CIADS is considering to use quarter wave resonators (QWRs), made by niobium thin film sputtered on copper bases, at its low energy section. Comparing with bulk niobium cavities, the Nb/Cu cavities feature a much better thermal and mechanical stability at 4.5 K. A 325 MHz QWR cavity has been fabricated at IMP, to demostrate the niobium coated copper cavity technique can meet the requirements of CIADS. The cavity is coated with biased DC diode sputtering technique. This paper covers resulting film characters, vertical tests with the evolution of the sputtering process, and improvements to mitigate issues we meet., Proceedings of the 14th Int.
