Abstract :
EUROTRANS (EUROpean Research Programme for the TRANSmutation of High Level Nuclear Waste in an Accelerator Driven System) is calling for an efficient high-current CW front-end accelerator system. A combination of RFQ, normal conducting CH- (Crossbar H-mode) and super-conducting CH-DTL which aims to work at 352MHz and accelerate a 30mA proton beam to 17MeV has been studied as a promising candidate. The preliminary conceptual study results are reported with respect to beam dynamics design.
