Acceptance Calculation and Study of Fault Scenarios in the PIP-II Linac

The Proton Improvement Plan (PIP)-II is a proposed high intensity proton facility being developed at the Fermilab. The PIP-II is primarily based on construction of a new superconducting radio frequency (SRF) linear accelerator (linac) that would deliver an average beam current of 2mA with output energy up to 800 MeV. The acceptance of an accelerator outlines its sensitivity against deviations from its nominal design parameters. Consequently, a higher acceptance minimizes possibility of the beam loss. This paper presents longitudinal and transverse acceptance of the PIP-II SRF linac. Furthermore, paper also discusses implications of fault scenarios, such as the cavity failure, on the beam optics and acceptances.
