  The SPIRAL2 linac is now successfully commissioned; H⁺, 4He2+, D⁺ and 18O6+ have been accelerated up to nominal parameters and 18O7+ and 40Ar14+ beams have been also accelerated up to 7 MeV/A. The main steps with 5 mA H⁺, D⁺ beams and with 0.6 mA 18O6+ are described. The general results of the commissioning of the RF, cryogenic and diagnostics systems, as well as the preliminary results of the first experiments on NFS are presented. In addition of an improvement of the matching to the linac, the tuning procedures of the 3 Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) rebunchers and 26 linac SC cavities were progressively improved to reach the nominal parameters in operation, starting from the classical ¿signature matching method¿. The different cavity tuning methods developed to take into account our particular situation (very low energy and large phase extension) are described. The tools developed for an efficient linac tuning in operation, e.g. beam energy and intensity changes are also discussed.

WEA3I1 Synchronous Phases and Transit Time Factor 241

  Synchronous phases (¿s) and transit time factors (T) are THE key parameters for linac designs and operations. While the couple (¿s, T) is still our way of thinking the longitudinal beam dynamics, it is important to have in mind that the original ¿Panofsky¿ definition of these parameters is no longer valid in the case of high accelerating gradients leading to high particle velocity changes and in the case of multi-gap cavities. In this case, a new (¿s, T) definition allowing to keep both acceleration and longitudinal focusing properties is proposed. Examples are given in the SPIRAL2 linac case.

It is acknowledged that the injection of high power proton beams into synchrotrons must be done using stripping injection of H⁻ beams which are accelerated by an injector, as done in many facilities worldwide such as ISIS, JPARC, SNS and CERN. However, this technique is not necessarily the only way of accumulation and in some cases might not represent the best choice. For example in the case of the ESSnuSB Accumulator Ring, accelerating the protons injecting them to the ring could represent savings in capital cost, reduced risk of losses in the linac and transfer lines and simplification to the overall project. This work presents the development of a method allowing to optimize the 4D Liouvillian accumulation of high-power proton and heavy ion beams and finishes with a discussion on the pros and cons of proton injection compared to more traditional H⁻ stripping injection method.
