We propose to increase the accelerator energy to 2.5 GeV, slightly increase the repetition rate to 20 Hz but with maintained pulse length at 2 ms.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>This will allow us to lower the average current in the pulse to 60 mA which will reduce space charge in the low energy part of the accelerator and permit an average acceleration gradient at some 15 MV/m for power couplers of 1 MW/cavity. The accelerator length will not change significantly in spite of the higher energy, thanks to the higher average gradient.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>Furthermore, superconducting (SC) spoke cavities are proposed to be used from 50 MeV/u to 200 MeV/u because they are much less sensitive to mechanical perturbations than elliptical cavities, and because they provide large transit time factors in the corresponding Lorenz ß range. The advantage of using superconducting cavities in the low energy part is that each cavity can be independently phased at relatively low energies, responding to the SNS experience that this is very effective for longitudinal acceptance tuning.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br><b>Prof. Mats Lindroos and Dr Steve Peggs<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>ESS Scandinavia Accelerator Team</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>Photo: SNS linear acelerator.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br></font><br> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><div align="right"><a href="http://tr.anp.se/track?t=c&mid=276476&uid=108928794&&&http://ess-scandinavia.eu/press-releases/239-ess-scandinavia-launches-technological-initiative" style="color: rgb(52, 52, 52); font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-decoration: none; "><span style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(52, 52, 52); text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; ">Read more on the ESS Scandinavia web site and in the Activity Report</span></a></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="560" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://kunder.apsis.se/apsis/standard/pixel.gif" width="1" height="20" alt=""></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="560" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://kunder.apsis.se/apsis/standard/border.gif" width="560" height="21" alt=""></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="560" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><td width="270" align="left"><img src="http://i.anp.se/ESS_Scandinavia/colin_icns.jpg" height="165" align="center" border="0"></td><td width="20"><img src="http://kunder.apsis.se/apsis/standard/pixel.gif" width="20" height="1" alt=""></td><td width="270" align="left"><img src="http://i.anp.se/ESS_Scandinavia/esss_team_ICNS_v2.jpg" width="270" height="165" align="center" border="0"></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="560" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://kunder.apsis.se/apsis/standard/pixel.gif" width="1" height="10" alt=""></td></tr></tbody></table><table width="560" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top"><td width="270" align="left"><font style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; color: rgb(35, 35, 35); font-weight: normal; ">STRONG SCANDINAVIAN PRESENCE AT ICNS AND PAC</font><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><font style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(76, 76, 76); font-weight: normal; "><i><b>Two years ago neutron scientists from all over the world gathered in charming Lund for ECNS, and took part in the plans to build ESS there.

Access to the seven different science parks also increases the possibilities for individual companies to find the right affiliate.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>Another important benefit from the cooperation is increased international visibility. Science parks like IDEON – already established as a neighbour to MAX IV and ESS has an international reputation, but when these seven science parks and incubators act together, they will generate an even brighter lustre, Montelius concludes.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>Companies within the science parks will benefit from operating in an internationally acknowledged environment, and for the science parks and the region, increased visibility will lead to more companies being attracted to the region. This will create a strong identity for the Öresund region.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>- With the concentration of science within materials research and e-science already existing in the Öresund region, we have attained a critical mass where talent attracts talent.
