Description
The IFMIF-DONES facility aims to generate a high flux of 14 MeV neutrons (up to 10$^{18}$ n m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$) to enable the characterization and qualification of materials for future fusion reactors. To accomplish this, it will use a continuous-wave (CW) linear accelerator delivering a 125 mA deuteron beam at 40 MeV onto a liquid lithium target. This configuration presents a unique challenge, combining unprecedented beam intensity, high beam power (5 MW), and strong space-charge effects.
This paper presents the beam physics concepts and methodologies developed for the design and simulations of the DONES accelerator. The simulation results, including start-to-end modeling, are presented and discussed in detail.
