IsoDAR@Yemilab: Preliminary Design Report -- Volume I: Cyclotron Driver

This Preliminary Design Report (PDR) describes the IsoDAR electron-antineutrino source. Volumes I and II are site-independent and describe the cyclotron driver providing a 10~mA proton beam, and the medium energy beam transport line and target, respectively. Volume III describes the installation at the Yemilab underground laboratory in South Korea. The IsoDAR driver and target will produce a mole of electron-antineutrinos over the course of five years. Paired with a kton-scale liquid scintillator detector, it will enable an impressive particle physics program including searches for new symmetries, new interactions and new particles. Here in Volume I, we describe the driver, which includes the ion source, low energy beam transport, and cyclotron. The latter features radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) direct axial injection and represents the first accelerator purpose-built to make use of vortex motion.
Comment: This PDR v0.9 is based on the preceding Conceptual Design Report (CDR) found here: arXiv:1511.05130. As is the nature of technical reports at various design stages (conceptual - preliminary), there is some overlap in text
