The need to populate the fusion materials engineering data base has long been recognized, the IFMIF facility being the present proposed neutron source for this purpose. Re-evaluation of the regulatory approach for the EU proposed DEMO device shows that the specification of the neutron source can be reduced with respect to IFMIF, allowing lower risk technology solutions to be considered. The justification for this approach is presented and a description of a proposed facility, FAFNIR, is presented with more detailed discussion of the accelerator and target designs.

The intense neutron source for development of fusion materials planned by international collaboration makes a new step to clarify the technical issues for realizing the 40 MeV, 250 mA deuteron beam facility. The baseline concept employs two identical
125 mA linac modules whose beams are combined at the flowing lithium target. Recent work for reducing the cost loading concerns the staged deployment of the full irradiation capability in three steps. The Japanese activity about the design and development study about IFMIF accelerator in this year is presented and the schedule of next several years is overviewed.
The concept of a small-scale, pulsed-proton accelerator based compact ultracold neutron (UCN) source is presented. The essential idea of the compact UCN source is to enclose a volume of superfluid $^{4}mathrm{He}$ converter with a supercold moderator
in the vicinity of a low-radiation neutron production target from (p, n) reactions. The supercold moderator should possess an ability to produce cold neutron flux with a peak brightness near the single-phonon excitation band of the superfluid $^{4}mathrm{He}$ converter, thereby augmenting the UCN production in the compact UCN source even with very low intensity of neutron brightness. The performance of the compact UCN source is studied in terms of the UCN production and thermal load in the UCN converter. With the proposed concept of the compact UCN source, a UCN production rate of $P_{mathrm{UCN}}=80mathrm{UCN}/mathrm{cc}/mathrm{sec}$ in the UCN converter could be obtained while maintaining thermal load of on the superfluid $^{4}mathrm{He}$ and its container at a level of $22mathrm{mW}$. This study shows that the compact UCN source can produce a high enough density of UCN at a small-scale, low-energy, pulsed-proton beam facility with reduced efforts on the cooling and radiation protection.
The materials engineering data base relevant to fusion irradiation is poorly populated and it has long been recognized that a fusion spectrum neutron source will be required, the facility IFMIF being the present proposal. Re- evaluation of the regula
tory approach for the EU proposed DEMO device shows that the purpose of the source can be changed from lifetime equivalent irradiation exposure to data generation at lower levels of exposure by adopting a defence in depth strategy and regular component surveillance. This reduces the specification of the source with respect to IFMIF allowing lower risk technology solutions to be considered. A description of such a source, the Facility for Fusion Neutron Irradiation Research, FAFNIR, is presented here along with project timescales and costs.
Photonic crystal (PhC) defect cavities that support an accelerating mode tend to trap unwanted higher-order modes (HOMs) corresponding to zero-group-velocity PhC lattice modes at the top of the bandgap. The effect is explained quite generally from ph
otonic band and perturbation theoretical arguments. Transverse wakefields resulting from this effect are observed in a hybrid dielectric PhC accelerating cavity based on a triangular lattice of sapphire rods. These wakefields are, on average, an order of magnitude higher than those in the waveguide-damped Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) copper cavities. The avoidance of translational symmetry (and, thus, the bandgap concept) can dramatically improve HOM damping in PhC-based structures.
As data science and machine learning methods are taking on an increasingly important role in the materials research community, there is a need for the development of machine learning software tools that are easy to use (even for nonexperts with no pr
ogramming ability), provide flexible access to the most important algorithms, and codify best practices of machine learning model development and evaluation. Here, we introduce the Materials Simulation Toolkit for Machine Learning (MAST-ML), an open source Python-based software package designed to broaden and accelerate the use of machine learning in materials science research. MAST-ML provides predefined routines for many input setup, model fitting, and post-analysis tasks, as well as a simple structure for executing a multi-step machine learning model workflow. In this paper, we describe how MAST-ML is used to streamline and accelerate the execution of machine learning problems. We walk through how to acquire and run MAST-ML, demonstrate how to execute different components of a supervised machine learning workflow via a customized input file, and showcase a number of features and analyses conducted automatically during a MAST-ML run. Further, we demonstrate the utility of MAST-ML by showcasing examples of recent materials informatics studies which used MAST-ML to formulate and evaluate various machine learning models for an array of materials applications. Finally, we lay out a vision of how MAST-ML, together with complementary software packages and emerging cyberinfrastructure, can advance the rapidly growing field of materials informatics, with a focus on producing machine learning models easily, reproducibly, and in a manner that facilitates model evolution and improvement in the future.
