Description

FRIB is the first heavy-ion accelerator facility to deploy a large number of Half-Wave Resonators (220 HWRs) and operate at 2 K in its superconducting drive linac. As of today, FRIB delivered the world’s highest uranium beam power (>18 kW) on target and will continue its power ramp-up in the next few years in parallel to support user science program. The technologies that have sustained the establishment of the FRIB facility and beam power ramp-up include large-scale superconducting RF, superconducting magnets, liquid metal charge stripping, and high-power targetry. This talk summarizes the current operational experience with these technologies, the plan to ramp up power to the full design power of 200 kW, and the R&D activities preparing for a 400 MeV energy upgrade in the near future.
