KONUS Dynamics and H-mode DTL Structures for EUROTRANS and IFMIF

During the last two decades, the combination of the KONUS beam dynamics and H-mode DTL structures has been developed as an efficient solution for accelerating lowand medium-energy proton and ion beams. EUROTRANS is a EUROpean Research Programme for the TRANSmutation of High Level Nuclear Waste in an Accelerator Driven System. IFMIF is a planned International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility to test materials for fusion reactors. For the driver linacs of both projects, two H-DTLs have been proposed to cover the energy ranges of 3–17MeV and 5–40MeV, respectively. The beam dynamics designs as well as the error studies of the H-DTLs are presented in this paper.
