Requirements for the XADS Accelerator and the technical answers (Rapport Européen 5ème PCRD sous le contrat N° FIKW-CT-2001-00179)
H. Safa
This deliverable (D9) describes the basic accelerator requirements of a proton accelerator needed for the XADS project. After indicating the most important parameters (beam energy and intensity, time structure), some features specific to the XADS are highlighted (reliability, operational procedures). Interface with other elements (beam dump, spallation target and reactor core) is analyzed. 
Although the cyclotron option has been addressed, it is shown that the preferred solution for the accelerator is the linac. Each section of the linac (injector, intermediate energy, high energy) is described in quite a detailed manner with complete beam dynamics calculation. The RF structure for the intermediate section is still an open choice. 
Finally, some recommendations are given for future R&D work.
