Commissioning of China ADS demo Linac and baseline design of CiADS project

Abstract

Abstract China Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (C-ADS) program was launched in China in 2011. In the first five-year phase, a 25 MeV demo linac has been successfully built to demonstrate the key technologies of the driven linac. Beam commissioning activities have been carried out to study the high-power beam physics. Followed by the previous phase, China Initiative Accelerator Driven Subcritical System (CiADS) is approved contain a superconducting proton linac with 500 MeV and 5 mA. In this paper, the commissioning results of the demo linac and the beam dynamics design of CiADS linac based on commissioning experiences are presented.
