    Maintainability: The average uncontrolled beam loss
     is limited to below 1 W/m level for all ion species
     from proton to uranium, to facilitate hands-on
     maintenance. For a proton beam at high energy, this
     level corresponds to an average activation of about 1
     mSv/h measured at a distance of 30 cm from the
     beam chamber surface, 4 hours after operations
     shutdown [3]. For heavy ions like uranium at low
     energies, activation and radiation shielding is of less
     concern; the 1 W/m limit addresses concerns in
     damage on superconducting cavity surfaces and in
     cryogenic heat load. To facilitate maintenance of
     individual cryomodules, warm interconnect sections
     are used between cryomodules, and U-tubes with

   Due to the short stopping distance in surrounding
materials, uncontrolled beam loss of the low-energy
heavy ions can cause damage to the surface of
accelerating structures much more easily than a proton
beam. On the other hand, due to the low level of radio-
activation [9], losses of low-energy heavy-ion beams are
difficult to detect [4]. Beam-loss detection and machine
protection often rely on beam scraping. On the other
hand, scraping of partially stripped ions may lead to
higher ionization further complicating beam collimation
and machine protection [10].

optimization resulted in significant improvement of peak
fields Ep/Eacc, Bp/Eacc and shunt impedance Rsh, with
consequent reduction of the overall linac cost and
operational risk. Ep and Bp in operation could be moved
below the safe values of 35 MV/m and 70 mT in all
cavities. The design gradients of the β0=0.085 QWR and
β0=0.29 HWR are raised by 10% without increasing the
total cryogenic load, allowing a reduction of two
cryomodules. The apertures of all QWRs were enlarged
from 30 to 34 mm, and their bottom rings were modified
for efficient tuning-plate cooling using a low-cost design
