Sumario:During the past 2 years the Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) study has grown into an international collaboration with the goal of optimising the architecture of a pulsed superconducting (SC) high-power proton linac. This effort includes the study and prototyping of major technical components, such as SC high-gradient cavities, power couplers, the RF distribution system, HOM couplers, cryo-modules, focusing elements, etc. Even though the effort is driven by CERN’s specific needs, the established design principles are valid for a range of SC linac projects. In this paper we report on the latest decisions concerning the machine architecture and on the ongoing R&D effort for technical components.
