Description
The Accelerator community needs to evolve to more efficient
technologies and support R&D to reduce total energy consumption. This requires a change in culture - we need to focus on energy
efficiency with the same priority as achieving higher performance. Some linac installations like those for Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) are advertised as being powered by the nuclear energy they produce with the surplus power going to the grid. In this case power efficiency is a key parameter in the design. Power usage can be impacted by various factors including temperature of operation and rf surface resistance. This paper presents modeling exercise to motivate future R%D towards improving power efficiency and in particular focused on accelerator used to drive ADS.
