Abstract
| The conceptual design of the European Spallation Source-Scandinavia (ESS-S) is presented. The accelerator system baseline draws heavily on state-of-the-art mature technologies that are being employed in the CERN Linac4 and SPL projects, although advances with spoke resonator and sputtered superconducting cavities are also being evaluated for reliable performance. Irradiation damage due to proton beam losses is a key issue for linac and target components. Their optimized design is performed from an engineering perspective, using the last updated versions of mechanical design codes which were already qualified for irradiated components. Finally, future upgrades of power and intensity of the proton linac are considered, including the design optimization of the Target Station (proton/neutron convertor), with the possibility of increasing the average pulsed power deposition up to 7.5 MW. All possible upgrades will be taken into account for the final design review, in the frame of the costs and constraints given with the site decision. |
