Physics design of the superconducting section of the CiADS linac

Abstract

The proton accelerator of the China Initiative Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (CiADS) adopts the continuous wave (CW) and superconducting technical route, and it may accelerate 5 mA proton beam to 500 MeV in energy. In this paper, the baseline physics design of the superconducting section (SC) and some design choices are discussed, and the error study results are also presented.
