Simulation of RF components for the ICONE pilot: RFQ, rebuncher, DTL cavities and amplifiers

CEA is committed to delivering a study for a warm linac in the frame of the ICONE project. It aims at accelerating an 80-mA beam of protons up to 25 MeV, with a 6% duty cycle. The LINAC consists of: a proton source with low-energy beam transport line, an RFQ, a medium-energy beam transport line, and a warm DTL. All these components must be tuned at 352.2 MHz, to reach the required output energy. This document presents the RF studies made by CEA and INFN on the main RF components, including the RFQ, the rebunchers, IH- and Alvarez DTL cavities and the RF amplifiers.
