MC3.A02: Ion linac projects

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

The NEWGAIN (NEW GAnil INjector) project is now in the construction phase at GANIL. This major upgrade, driven by the integration of the new ASTERICS superconducting ECR ion source, aims to expand the capabilities of the SPIRAL2 accelerator by enabling the acceleration of heavy ions with an $A/q$ ratio of up to 7. With this enhancement, SPIRAL2 will provide high-intensity beams ranging from...

44. Breaking the Cryoplant Barrier: Conduction-Cooled Nb₃Sn SRF Linacs for Industrial and Environmental Applications

MC2.A05: Industrial and medical accelerators

Invited Talk (Invitation Only)

Superconducting linacs have traditionally required large cryogenic infrastructures, while compact accelerators relied on normal-conducting technology. This divide is narrowing. At Fermilab’s IARC, Nb₃Sn-coated cavities operating near 4 K, combined with cryocooler-based conduction cooling and solid-state RF power, enable compact SRF linacs for high-duty-factor operation outside traditional...
