Description

This contribution provides an update on the development of the 4 mA, 100 MeV continuous-wave (CW) superconducting proton linac - the first stage of MYRRHA’s accelerator-driven system (ADS). We present the improved accelerator layout and beam optics design, outline the key design choices for critical components, and report on the latest manufacturing and civil construction progress.
