“…The operation experience of SARAF-I proved the applicability of HWR technology to light-ions highintensity CW accelerators, and is therefore now used in the design and implementation of such accelerators world-wide, including the EURISOL driver [11], CADS injector-II [12], IFMIF/EVEDA [13], PXIE [14] and also for heavy ions drivers such as FRIB [15].…”

The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) is under construction in the Soreq Nuclear Research Center at Yavne, Israel. When completed at the beginning of the next decade, SARAF will be a user facility for basic and applied nuclear physics, based on a 40 MeV, 5 mA CW proton/deuteron superconducting linear accelerator. Phase I of SARAF (SARAF-I, 4 MeV, 2mA CW protons, 5 MeV 1mA CW deuterons) is already in operation, generating scientific results in several fields of interest. The main ongoing program at SARAF-I is the production of 30 keV neutrons and measurement of Maxwellian Averaged Cross Sections (MACS), important for the astrophysical s-process. The world leading Maxwellian epithermal neutron yield at SARAF-I (5×10 10 epithermal neutrons/sec), generated by a novel Liquid-Lithium Target (LiLiT), enables improved precision of known MACSs, and new measurements of lowabundance and radioactive isotopes. Research plans for SARAF-II span several disciplines: Precision studies of beyond-Standard-Model effects by trapping light exotic radioisotopes, such as 6 He, 8 Li and 18,19,23 Ne, in unprecedented amounts (including meaningful studies already at SARAF-I); extended nuclear astrophysics research with higher energy neutrons, including generation and studies of exotic neutron-rich isotopes relevant to the rapid (r-) process; nuclear structure of exotic isotopes; high energy neutron cross sections for basic nuclear physics and material science research, including neutron induced radiation damage; neutron based imaging and therapy; and novel radiopharmaceuticals development and production.

“…Recently, a new proton facility-Chinese ADS Front End demo linac (CAFE) has been built at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with energy up to 25 MeV [20,21]. As one of the first users, we conducted another test with the 20 MeV proton beam bombarding on 1.1 bar natural krypton gas.…”

83m Kr with a short lifetime is an ideal calibration source for liquid xenon or liquid argon detector. The 83m Kr isomer can be generated through the decay of 83 Rb isotope, and 83 Rb is usually produced by proton beams bombarding natural krypton atoms. In this paper, we report a successful production of 83 Rb/ 83m Kr with 3.4 MeV proton beam energy and measure the production rate with such low proton energy for the first time. Another production attempt was performed with newly available 20 MeV proton beam in China, the production rate is consistent with our expectation. The produced 83m Kr source has been successfully injected into PandaX-II liquid xenon detector and yielded enough statistics for detector calibration.

Beam diagnostics and instrumentation are an essential part of any kind of accelerator. There is a large variety of parameters to be measured for observation of particle beams with the precision required to tune, operate, and improve the machine. In the first part, the basic mechanisms of information transfer from the beam particles to the detector are described in order to derive suitable performance characteristics for the beam properties. However, depending on the type of accelerator, for the same parameter, the working principle of a monitor may strongly differ, and related to it also the requirements for accuracy. Therefore, in the second part, selected types of accelerators are described in order to illustrate specific diagnostics needs which must be taken into account before designing a related instrument.
