The comparative analysis and optimization of the energy efficiency for proton and ion beams in ADS systems is performed via GEANT4 simulation with account of energy consumption for different accelerator types. It is demonstrated that for light nuclei, beginning from 7Li, with energies above 1 GeV/nucleon ion beams are substantially more efficient than 1–3 GeV proton beams.
