DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Josh Yoskowitz (Subcritical Systems Inc.)\n\nAbstrac
 t: Subcritical Systems Inc. (SSI\, Austin\, TX) is developing an Energy Am
 plifier (EA)\, an accelerator-driven system designed for efficient and saf
 e nuclear energy generation. Central to this concept is a high-power conti
 nuous-wave proton accelerator capable of delivering a 1.5 GeV beam to the 
 EA’s subcritical assembly at currents up to 14 mA\, corresponding to a n
 ominal beam power of 15–20 MW.\nThe accelerator will include a radio-fre
 quency quadrupole (RFQ) and a five-section superconducting linear accelera
 tor (linac). The RFQ bunches and accelerates the proton beam to 5 MeV at 1
 00% duty factor. The RFQ design was optimized using the code RFQ Designer 
 and the beam dynamics were modeled with Toutatis. The superconducting lina
 c is composed of five cryomodule sections employing half-wave resonator\, 
 single-spoke resonator and elliptical cavity geometries to efficiently acc
 elerate the beam to a final energy of 1.5 GeV. The beam optics throughout 
 the linac were optimized using TraceWin.\nIn this seminar\, the preliminar
 y designs of both the RFQ and superconducting linac will be presented\, an
 d the current design challenges and future work will be discussed.\n\nhttp
