Progress of linear IFMIF prototype accelerator in Rokkasho

Kasugai, Atsushi

The Accelerator Facility is being validated with the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc). LIPAc is demonstrating the feasibility of the low energy section of an IFMIF deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV with a beam current of 125 mA in CW at IFERC of JAEA in Rokkasho, Japan. The deuterium ion beam injector is under commissioning. At this stage, a 100keV/120mA/CW hydrogen ion beam and 100keV/90mA/CW deuteron ion beam have been produced with a low beam emittance of 0.21 mm mrad (rms, normalized) and mass fractions above 90%. Delivery of RFQ components, consisting of RFQ accelerator developed by INFN in Italy and RF power supplies developed by CIEMAT in Spain is under way, followed by the installation of RF power supplies scheduled for this year as well. After the commissioning of the injector, RFQ, MEBT, D-Plate, HEBT, beam dump and SRF linac will be installed and tested in step by step approach.
