Demonstrate the ADS Concept & Transmutation Coupling : Accelerator + spallation source + subcritical reactor
Introduction: A high reliability linac for MYRRHA
Avoid beam trips longer than 3 seconds to minimise thermal stresses and fatigue on target, reactor & fuel assemblies and to ensure 80 % availability. Actual Specification : Less than 10 trips per 3 months operation cycle.
High power proton beam (up to 2.4 MW)
Extreme reliability level
Reliability guidelines are needed for the ADS accelerator design: Strong design i.e. robust optics, simplicity, low thermal/mechanical stress, operation margins… Redundancy (serial where possible, or parallel) to be able to tolerate failures Repairability (on-line where possible) and efficient maintenance schemes

Global strategy for faults compensation
Strategy for a fault in the injector : Parallel redundancy
+
Operational injector 1: RF + PS + beam ON
Warm stand-by injector 2: RF+ PS ON, beam OFF (on FC)
Switching magnet
Change polarity in ~1s
Strategy for a fault in the main linac : Serial redundancy & independently powered cavities
A failure is detected anywhere Beam is stopped by the MPS in injector at t0
The fault is localized in a SC cavity RF loop Need for an efficient fault diagnostic system
New V/φ set-points are updated in cavities adjacent to the failed one Set-points determined via virtual accelerator application and/or at the commissioning phase
The failed cavity is detuned (to avoid the beam loading effect) Using the Cold Tuning System
Once steady state is reached, beam is resumed at t1 < t0 + 3sec
Failed RF cavity system to be repaired on-line if possible

Consequences on the linac architecture
The Local Fault-Recovery scheme A minimal number of cavity settings need to be modified Significant cavity Voltage increase (up to ~30%) needed for compensation Efficient SC cavities initially used at half of their capabilities in nominal conditions – Ability for fast field increase in CW (no multipacting, low field emission…)
Fast tuning system for failed cavity detuning & to minimise RF power consumption Large acceptance for phase retuning and margins on the available RF power
Followed rules for the longitudinal beam dynamics design 1. Keep phase advance at zero-current σL0 < 90° / lattice
→ GOAL = avoid SC-driven parametric resonances & instabilities in mismatched conditions→ Implies limitations on Eacc
2. Provide high longitudinal acceptance→ GOAL = avoid longitudinal beam losses & easily accept fault conditions → Implies low enough synchronous phases (φs= -40° at input, keep φs< -15°) & to keep constant phase
acceptance through linac, especially at the frequency jump
3. Continuity of the phase advance per meter (< 2°/m)→ GOAL = minimize the potential for mismatch and assure a current independent lattice → Implies especially limitations on Eacc at the frequency jump

Beam dynamics simulations
Rules for transverse beam dynamics Keep phase advance at zero-current σT0 < 90° / lattice to avoid structure and Space charge driven resonances
Keep σT > 70% σL to stay away from the dangerous parametric resonance σT = σL/2
Avoid emittance exchange between T & L planes via SC-driven resonances
Keep smooth transverse phase advance & provide clean matching between sections in all planes to minimise emittance growth

Conclusions on these fault-recovery scenario analyses
Several scenarios studied even with multiple cryomodules failures in different section
The main conclusion is : the fault recovery scheme is a priori feasible everywhere in the MYRRHA main linac to compensate for the loss of a single cavity or even of a full cryomodule.
Impact on the R&D of superconducting cavities and associated systems1. RF power amplifiers and margins : To take into account errors of control systems & fault recovery2. Performant Superconducting cavities must accept fast gradient changes in CW operation3. Control systems must enable to :
_ Retune the compensation cavities in less than 3 seconds_ frequency detune the failed cavities which could perturb the beam

Control Systems requirements
Requirement on Energy accuracy : 600 MeV ± 1 MeV at the linac ouput . Control systems must ensure the stability of the accelerating field and the synchronous phase
Study the feasibility of retuning procedures (< 3 sec.) for the individually controlled cavities with a limited margin of CW RF power.
Worked based on the β 0.47 linac section Model : cavity + tuning system + feedback/control loops Use of Matlab SimulinkTM for time simulation Define the best control strategy for the tuning system - R&D on an adaptive & predictive controller (ADEX).
With a limited amount of CW power the mechanical frequency tuning systems must enable to retune the compensation cavities and quickly detune the failed ones.

If the cavity is still superconducting, the important criterion is the induced decelerating voltage (to be lowered below 0.5% of nominal voltage); otherwise, it is the dissipated power, especially for a quenched but still cold cavity.
Failed cavity and requirement on the cold tuning system
Requirement : Cavity frequency must be detune by more than 100*BandWidth in less than 3 seconds Minimum detuning speed capabilities for the CTS: 5 kHz/sec

1. Introduction – 2. Linac Design – 3. RF Fault tolerance – 4. Recovery procedures and technological requirements – 5. Conclusions
Fault tolerance studies involved many instrumentation developments for experimental demonstration (real-scale cryomodule, Digital LLRF, Control systems for cavity frequency tuning, solid state amplifier) Based on existing systems a model of the cavity and its feedback loops have been developed Results from simulations showed that it is feasible to retune the cavities in less than 3 seconds.
Need fast tuning system to unable the fault recovery procedure to minimise beam loading in the failed cavity. In worst case, the minimum required detuning (>100*Bandwidth) has to be achieved in less than 3 seconds.
These Procedures were defined with beam dynamics simulations. The retuning strategy has been successfully assessed in several test scenarios: RF cavities but also for quads failure.
It rests upon a consolidated superconducting linear accelerator design with large transverse and longitudinal beam acceptances.
Several steps of this procedure appear to be non straightforward and will require further studies (consolidate errors studies, retuning with non-homogenous cavity gradients distrib.,….)
