RAMI Optimization-oriented design for the LIPAc RF Power System

Abstract

The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is currently under construction in Rokkasho (Japan). LIPAc will generate a continuous wave (CW) 9 MeV deuteron beam at 125 mA. It will serve to validate the final IFMIF accelerator concept and technologies. The radiofrequency (RF) power system is being integrated by CIEMAT (Spain) in collaboration with its partner companies and European institutes. LIPAc RF Power System design has been performed aiming high reliability, high availability and easy maintainability to address one of the most important requirements for IFMIF. The target of LIPAc tests is to validate the technologies and designs for the final phase of IFMIF. Several improvements in reliability,

availability and maintainability have been implemented in the LIPAc RF Power System. These mprovements are based on both, new technologies and new maintenance philosophy. The results of their first tests are shown in this paper.
