Description

As various experimental reactors in Europe are already
or will be decommissioned over the next years, new neutron
sources will be necessary to meet the demand for neutrons
in research and development. The High Brilliance Neutron
Source is an accelerator driven neutron source planned at the
Forschungszentrum Jülich. The accelerator will accelerate
a proton beam up to an end energy of 70 MeV,
using normal conducting CH-type cavities. Because of the high
beam current of 100 mA, the beam dynamics concept requires special
care. In this paper, the current status of the beam dynamics
for the drift tube linac is dicsussed.
