Description
At the Nuclear Research Center SCK CEN in Belgium, the first phase of the MYRRHA project (an accelerator driven system) is under construction. Included in MYRRHA Phase 1 are a normal conducting injector linac (RFQ + CH cavities) and a super conducting linac (60 single spoke cavities), providing a CW proton beam of 4 mA and 100 MeV.
In this contribution we present simulations of the Low Energy Beam Transfer Line (LEBT) and the 4-rod RFQ. The LEBT, including an ECR ion source, 2 solenoids and a pair of slits, matches the continuous proton beam to the entrance of the RFQ. The RFQ accelerates and bunches the beam from 30 keV up to 1.5 MeV. The effects introduced by space charge and their effect on the output distribution out of the RFQ will be highlighted. A comparative study of the RFQ beam dynamics simulation perforemd with the codes TOUTATIS and DYNAC will be presented.
