Project-X is a proposed project to be built at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
with several potential missions [1]. A primary part of the Project-X accelerator
chain is a Superconducting linac, and In October 2009 a workshop was held to
concentrate on the linac parameters [2]. The charge of the workshop was to "..focus
only on the SRF linac approaches and how it can be used...". The focus of Working
Group 2 of this workshop was to evaluate how the different linac options being
considered impact the potential realization of Muon Collider (MC) and Neutrino
Factory (NF) applications. In particular the working group charge was, " to
investigate the use of a multi-megawatt proton linac to target, phase rotate and
collect muons to support a muon collider and neutrino factory". To focus the
working group discussion, three primary questions were identified early on, to
serve as a reference:
1) What are the proton source requirements for muon colliders and neutrino
factories?
2) What are the issues with respect to realizing the required muon collider and
neutrino factory proton sources?
a. General considerations
b. Considerations specific to the two linac configurations identified by
Project-X.
3) What things need to be done before we can be reasonably confident that
ICD1/ICD2 can be upgraded to provide the neutrino factory / muon collider
needs?
A number of presentations were given, and are available at the workshop web-site
[2]. This paper does not summarize the individual presentations, but rather
addresses overall findings as related to the three guiding questions listed above.
Baseline Linac Configurations
Project-X has already been under study for some years and studies have led to two
primary accelerator configurations: "ICD-1" and "ICD-2" [3]. The Initial
