“…Measured beam current after the bending magnet is 7 mA and higher. Typical rms normalized emittance measured in the slit and wire apparatus, about one meter upstream of the RFQ is x;y;100%=0.15 •mm•mrad [5]. The beam is strongly focused towards the RFQ entrance by the third LEBT solenoid.…”

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.

“…It was shown that the beam reaches high space-charge neutralization along the LEBT, which reduces de-focusing. Nevertheless, the beam's rms emittance increases to an estimated value of about 0.20 •mm•mrad at the RFQ entrance, due to an increased space charge force and leakage of the RFQ RF field [5].…”

Phase I of the SARAF superconducting RF linac is under operation at the Soreq Nuclear Research Center. The present status of Phase I main components is reported, as well as, the beam operation experience accumulated in 2013-2014. The latter include acceleration of a 2 mA and 1.6 mA CW proton beams at energies of 2 MeV and 3.9 MeV correspondingly and 1 mA pulsed, duty cycle of few %, deuteron beams up to 5.6 MeV. The recent experiments include operation of intense CW proton beams on the liquid lithium target.

“…Of particular concern was the rising edge of the beam pulse, which is susceptible to optical modifications due to beam neutralization buildup. The duration of the rising edge was estimated to be a fraction of a millisecond for the SARAF LEBT [9]. A comparison of the phase space distribution results between 5 mA DC beam and 5 ms chopped beams is presented in table 2.…”

The SARAF Phase II cryogenic linear accelerator (linac) is currently under construction and will be commissioned through collaborative efforts between SNRC and CEA. The linac will accelerate a 5 mA pulsed/continuous wave (CW) proton and deuteron beam, reaching energies of up to 35 MeV and 40 MeV, respectively. The linac injector consists of Phase I components, including an ECR ion source, a Low-Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) line, and a 4-rod Radio Frequency Quadruple (RFQ). Additionally, a new Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) line has been installed and integrated into the injector infrastructure. The MEBT includes three rebuncher resonators, magneto-optical elements, and beam diagnostics. The MEBT beam diagnostics, as well as the Phase I D-plate installed downstream, were used for beam characterization. The downstream-installed Temporary Beam Line (TBL) and a prototype of the Gallium Indium Liquid Target (GALIT) were used for commissioning, operating at high beam duty cycles, including CW mode. The report describes the proton beam commissioning process of the injector prior to the delivery of the cryomodules, scheduled for the second half of 2023.
