A comparison of beam loss in the superconducting part (SCL) of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac for H⁻ and protons is presented. During the experiment the nominal beam of negative hydrogen ions in the SCL was replaced by a proton beam created by insertion of a thin stripping carbon foil placed in the low energy section of the linac. The observed significant reduction in the beam loss for protons is explained by a domination of the intra-beam stripping mechanism of the beam loss for H-. The details of the experiment are discussed, and a preliminary estimation of the cross section of the reaction H⁻ + H⁻ -> H⁻ + H⁰ + e is presented.

High-intensity proton linacs and storage rings are essential for a) state-of-the-art neutron source user facilities, b) extending the high-energy physics intensity frontier, c) as a driver to generate pions for a future neutrino factory or muon collider, and d) for transmutation of radioactive waste and associated energy production. For example, Project X at Fermilab will deliver MW proton beams at energies ranging from 3 to 120 GeV. Nonlinear magnetic lattices with large tune spreads and with integrable*, nearly integrable** and chaotic* dynamics have been proposed to maximize dynamic aperture and minimize particle loss. We present PyORBIT*** simulations of proton dynamics in such lattices, including the effects of transverse space charge.
