Abstract

The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will handle a 9 MeV, 125 mA continuous wave (CW) deuteron beam which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF accelerator. The Linac design is based on superconducting Half Wave Resonators (HWR) operating at 4.4 K. Due to space charge associated to the high intensity beam, a strong superconducting focusing magnet package is necessary between cavities, with nested steerers and a Beam Position Monitor (BPM). First of all, this paper describes the preliminary study to choose between two quadrupoles or one solenoid as focusing device, both using NbTi wire. The solenoid shows more advantages, mainly associated to available space and reliability. Then, electromagnetic and mechanical design of the solenoid and the steerers are reported. Special care is taken in order to fulfil the fringe field limit at the cavity flange. An active shield configuration using an anti-solenoid has been adopted, avoiding remnant magnetization associated to passive shielding materials.
