SNS Experience with a High-Energy Superconducting Proton Linac

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) requires a high power (> 1 MW) 1 GeV proton beam to produce an intense source of neutrons. The proton beam acceleration is primarily provided by a Superconducting Cavity Linac (SCL). This SCL is the first use of superconducting cavities to accelerate protons to...

Sumario:The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) requires a high power (> 1 MW) 1 GeV proton beam to produce an intense source of neutrons. The proton beam acceleration is primarily provided by a Superconducting Cavity Linac (SCL). This SCL is the first use of superconducting cavities to accelerate protons to energies this high and is also the first application of pulsed SRF with proton beams. The SCL has been in operation for over two years now. The experience in commissioning and operating the linac are discussed in this paper.
