IPAC'23 - Particle Accelerator Projects and Upgrades

IPAC’23 / PARTICLE ACCELERATOR PROJECTS AND UPGRADES 23 Project Region EMEA Project Location Yavne, Israel Project Type Project Update Project Description This is an upgrade of the first phase of the SARAF accelerator (SARAF-I: 4-5 MeV protons and deuterons, 2 mA CW protons and 10% duty cycle deuterons) to its full capacity: 5 mA CW protons and deuterons, up to maximum energies of 35 MeV (175 kW) and 40 MeV (200 kW), respectively. This will be accomplished by the construction of a new Medium Energy Beam Transport line and four new cryomodules, housing a total of 27 superconducting half-wave-resonator cavities. The high-power beam will be utilized for a vast range of basic and applied research, by the use of gallium-indium liquid-jet targets that will be capable of handling a 200 kW beam. All components have been contracted. Installation of accelerator and target main components has started, and is planned to be completed towards the end of 2024. Requirements List Available Yes Approval Date 15/04/2015 Status of Contracting 100% of the items are contracted Construction scheduled to start 01/10/2019 Estimated Project Cost N/A Estimated Construction Duration 5 years Type of Equipment to be Purchased Beam transport lines including magnets, RF rebunchers and beam diagnostics, superconducting RF cavities and solenoids, cryomodules, solid-state RF amplifiers, vacuum equipment, control hardware and software.
