Based on the operational experience on the superconducting heavy ion linac ALPI, we introduced Machine Learning techniques to improve the performances and speed up the tuning of the ion linac at LNL.
The technique proved to be particularly effective to overcome issues on the longitudinal matching.
The algorithm has been adapted to be compatible with high intensity linacs, in terms of...
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,...
The use of $\mathrm{H}_3^+$ (triatomic hydrogen ions) presents a promising alternative to the more conventional $\mathrm{H}^-$ ions in high power proton accelerators. In this work, we examine the advantages of $\mathrm{H}_3^+$ beams with respect to extraction efficiency, Lorentz dissociation, and space charge limits. The physical properties of $\mathrm{H}_3^+$ enable it to overcome the...
