Plans for driver and target studies for heavy-ion inertial fusion by intense heavy-ion linac and cooler synchrotron

Basic experiments for heavy-ion inertial fusion by using an intense heavy-ion linac and a heavy-ion cooler synchrotron are proposed. The planned accelerator complex consists of nine heavy-ion linacs, a heavy-ion cooler synchrotron, two storage rings, 24 beam buncher rings and a chamber for target experiments. In a first phase an old accelerator system will be improved to make it able to accelerate intense beams of heavy ions, such as Xe, with charge to mass ratio ofq/A=1/6, up to 2.4 MeV/a.m.u.
