Description

CEA is committed to delivering a LINAC in the frame of the ICONE project, in order to accelerate a 80 mA beam of protons up to 25 MeV, with a duty cycle of 6%. The LINAC project is divided into five workpackages: Source and LEBT, RFQ, MEBT, DTL and HEBT. The source will be an ALISES high current proton source. The initial acceleration and bunching will be provided by a 4-vane RFQ cavity. For the DTL part, two solutions with copper cavities were studied from 3.7 MeV to the final energy: an IH-DTL and an Alvarez DTL LINAC. This talk will first present the different parts of the accelerator and the chosen technologies. Then, the oral presentation will focus specifically on the design of the IH-DTL solution at 352 MHz. Prototypes of certain parts, including a small cavity, and a permanent magnet, are tested in 2025/2026. Results of these tests will be presented.
