Title:     Front End Accelerator Systems for FRIB

Abstract: The FRIB Front End will provide beams of stable ions with a mass up to uranium at intensities required to achieve a power of 400 kW on the fragmentation target. The design of the front end is optimized to satisfy challenging project and programmatic requirements. Physical challenges include world-record intensity for heavy ions, acceleration of two charge states simultaneously to increase the intensity of heavy ion beams, control of beam phase space to minimize beam losses in the superconducting linac, broad range of intensity adjustment to satisfy experimental needs, a wide range of requested ion species with minimum turnaround time between different ion beams to increase uptime of the facility. In this talk, I discuss technical challenges for the design, considered alternatives, and describe progress with the design and construction of the Front End and its systems. 



Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
