Expected Beam Performance of the Sns Linac*
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project is a collaboration among Argonne, Brookhaven, Jefferson, Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. The Linac, which injects beam into an accumulator ring, is comprised of both normal and superconducting rf (SRF) accelerating structures. Two room-temperature rf structures, a 402.5-MHz drift-tube linac (DTL) and an 805-MHz coupled-cavity linac (CCL), accelerate an H-minus beam from 2.5 MeV to 186 MeV. The SRF linac accelerates the beam to 1 GeV through 81 elliptical, multicell niobium cavities. This paper reviews the linac physics design and its expected beam dynamics performance.

The Sns Beam Diagnostics Experience and Lessons Learned
The Spallation Neutron Source accelerator systems are designed to deliver a 1.0 GeV, 1.4 MW proton beam to a liquid mercury target for neutron scattering research. The accelerator complex consists of an Hinjector, capable of producing one-ms-long pulses at 60 Hz repetition rate with 38 mA peak current; a 1 GeV linear accelerator; an accumulator ring; and associated transport lines. The accelera...
متن کاملThe Spallation Neutron Source (sns) Linac Rf System*
The SNS is a spallation neutron research facility being built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee [1]. The Linac portion of the SNS (with the exception of the superconducting cavities) is the responsibility of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and this responsibility includes the RF system for the entire linac. The linac accelerates an average beam current of 2 mA to an energ...
متن کاملA Quest for Measuring Ion Bunch Longitudinal Profiles with One Picosecond Accuracy in the Sns Linac
The SNS linac utilizes several accelerating structures operating at different frequencies and with different transverse focusing structures. Low-loss beam transport requires careful matching at the transition points for both the transverse and longitudinal plane. Longitudinal beam parameters are measured using four Bunch Shape Monitors (used at many ion accelerator facilities, aka Feschenko dev...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Modeling of Fast Beam Chopper for Sns Project
High current and stringent restrictions on beam losses in the designed linac and storage ring for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) require clean and fast – with the rise time from 2% to 98% less than 2.5 ns – beam chopping in the linac front end, at the beam energy 2.5 MeV. The development of new traveling-wave deflecting current structures, based on meander lines, for the SNS fast chopper i...
