Overview of the HINS RD Program in the Context
of Project X
Bob Webber Instrumentation Department
Meeting February 20, 2008

Definitions

• Proton Driver
• Generic name for past 15 years for new, higher
  intensity machines and schemes to replace present
  Linac and Booster
• Both linac and synchrotron options have been
  considered
• Most recently, the name for an 8 GeV
  superconducting ILC-like H- linac that fell out
  of favor relative to ILC
• High Intensity Neutrino Source HINS
• A DOE approved and funded avenue to pursue
  advanced low energy linac technologies (ala
  Proton Driver front-end design) as well as
  e-cloud, H- injection, and other small scale RD
  activities in the name of neutrino science
• Project X
• A proposal, publicly promoted by Fermilab
  Directorate, to simultaneously provide 2 MW of
  protons for neutrinos at 120 GeV and 200kW of
  protons for experiments at 8 GeV
• Includes 8 GeV linac with beam current and pulse
  length parameters aligned with those of the ILC
• Includes upgrades to RR, MI, and NUMI target
  system

The Project X Plan

• It is anticipated that the Project X RD Program
  will be undertaken as a national project with
  international participation
• Fermilab does not have the personnel resources to
  undertake the Project X RD Program, or a
  follow-on construction project, on its own
• the intention is to organize and execute the
  RD Program via a multi-institutional
  collaboration, drawing significant participation
  from outside of Fermilab
• The goal is to give collaborators complete and
  contained sub-projects, meaning they hold
  responsibility for design, engineering,
  estimating, and potentially construction if/when
  Project X proceeds
• A very readable and comprehensive overview of
  current Project X thinking is offered in Steve
  Holmes 1/31/08 talk to the P5 Committee
  http//www.fnal.gov/directorate/program_planning/P
  5/P5_Jan2008/Talks/Holmes_PX.pdf
• A detailed 4-year Project X RD plan has been
  developed and can be found at http//projectx.fnal
  .gov/RnDplan/index.html

  development
• Develop plans for controls system interface and
  outline software requirements
• For Project X
• Consider ideas to instrument 8 GeV
  superconducting Linac with beam structure

2.5 MeV Beam from RFQ

• Infrastructure
• Caged area for ion source and RFQ at the HINS
  location is now being outfitted with utilities
• Ion Source
• Loma Linda type proton source (with upgraded
  support systems) has been recently operated in
  MS6 by Henryk Piekarz et al.
• Proton source move to MDB expected in late
  January 08
• Untimely loss of Doug Moehs is a blow to H-
  source development, yet to be addressed for both
  HINS and AD ops
• RFQ
• In RF tuning lab at ACCSYS as of Nov. 27 report
• Trip to witness bead pull test is pending for
  mid-December
• Delivery expected late January 08
• RF Power Distribution
• Temporary feed for RFQ is being installed parts
  are on hand
• RF and Rad Safety Issues
• Resuming regular meetings with AD ESH
• 2.5 MeV Beam May Day???

24
Multiple Cavity/Vector Modulator Operation

• Proof-of-principle demonstration is FY08
  objective
• RFQ plus one or two RT cavities, not in final
  configuration
• Cavities perhaps not installed in final position
• Makeshift RF distribution components
• 325 MHz Vector Modulators
• 75 kW phase shifters have been demonstrated
• 75 kW modulator is being tested to understand
  coupling between amplitude and phase modulation
• 500 kW modulator (for RFQ) testing on hold
• Commercial hybrid coupler failed, replacement on
  order
• Ferrite phase shifters OK so far
• Awaiting high power circulator delivery (customs
  paperwork)
• Vector Modulator Bias Power Supplies
• AD EE Dept has provided one pair of supplies for
  initial testing
• They appear committed to continue work on this
  project
• Low Level RF Controls
• Yet to identify resources to focus on these
  issues
• This will be the critical path!

25
Meson LCW System Upgrade

• Meson LCW system is incapable to provide HINS
  required flow
• AD Mechanical Dept. Fluids Group is finalizing
  details of upgrade plan
• Finalization of design is yet to be completed
  (accelerator shutdown etc.)
• Includes new pump skid and extensive new piping
• Price tag is in the order of 100k
• Installation will have 2 week integrated impact
  on water availability for HINS ILC in MDB
• Work is unlikely to begin before end of February
• Interruptions of water service unlikely before
  March
• Elvin Harms from ILC-HTS group is in the loop

26
RT Linac Section Cave in MDB

• Detailed cave design must begin this year
• Must establish scale of major objects to define
  cave size
• Cavity cryostat dimensions and peripherals
• Scale of cryogenic system feedcans and transfer
  lines
• Must develop plan for phased installation and
  operation as higher energy components become
  available
• Must quantify required utilities and cave
  infrastructure
• Must address safety issues
• Egress
• Radiation shielding
• Accessibility for maintenance
• Cost estimates and construction plan must be
  developed
• Design around available concrete shielding blocks
• Are available blocks sufficient? possible major
  cost impact
• Construction could impact other MDB operations

27
Broad Impact Meson Questions

• What is to be the disposition of the present CC2
  Cave?
• We are now installing HINS ion source and RFQ
  infrastructure north of cave
• Per Jay Theilacker, design and installation of
  HINS Linac cryogenics is considerably simpler and
  less expensive if CC2 cave was dismantled to
  allow a straight shot for cryo transfer lines
  into HINS Linac cave
• HINS Linac is expected to require the full
  capability of Meson Cryo plant (in 2010?)
• How will this be compatible with other planned
  MDB activities?
• What are those planned activities?

28
