The project Anthem, funded within the Next Generation EU initiatives, includes the realization of an accelerator based BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) facility at Caserta, Italy.
The INFN (LNL, Pavia, Napoli, Torino) has in charge the design and construction of the epithermal neutron source, that will assure a flux of 10^9 n/(s cm2) with characteristics suited for deep tumors treatment....
The IFMIF-DONES facility will irradiate and characterize materials to be used in fusion reactors using a neutron flux produced by the interaction of a deuteron beam with a liquid lithium target. A superconducting radiofrequency linear accelerator will bring the deuteron beam to the final energy of 40 MeV through a series of superconducting half-wave resonators operating at 175 MHz. A prototype...
Enhancing the accelerating gradient and intrinsic quality factor (Q₀) of SRF cavities is critical for next-generation accelerators. This work reports two advances from IMP: (1) Thermal Management with AlN Coatings: To address thermal limitations, this study demonstrates enhanced thermal diffusivity in SRF cavities via inner-wall aluminum nitride (AlN) coatings. Innovative thermal conductivity...
The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) successfully achieved its design power level of 170 kW in 2025. The CSNS-II project aims to increase the beam power to 500 kW by enhancing the linac energy to 300 MeV. To ensure coordinated operation across all accelerator subsystems amidst increasing complexity and precision requirements, the timing system has been redesigned with an event-driven...
