The Beam Test Facility (BTF) is a functional duplicate of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) frontend with a 2.5 MeV beam on which the first six-dimensional phase space measurement has been completed. This presentation will show the technical underpinnings involved in performing the 6D scan with the BTF. The first part will examine the diagnostic setup involving apertures, a screen, and a bunch shape monitor and how the integrated system functions. The next part will cover the scan logic used in the software. The last part will briefly discuss ongoing efforts to analyze 6D measurements and identify correlations.

  The experimental development of H laser assisted charge exchange, a.k.a. laser stripping, has been ongoing at the SNS accelerator since 2006 in a three-phase approach. The first two phases associated with proof-of-principle and proof-of-practicality experiments have been successfully completed and demonstrated >95% H stripping efficiency for up to 10 us. The final phase is a proof-of-scalability stage to demonstrate that the method can be deployed for realistic beam duty factors. The experimental component of this effort is centered on achieving high efficiency stripping through the use of a laser power amplification scheme to recycle the macropulse laser light at the interaction point of the H stripping. Such a recycling cavity will be necessary for any future operational laser stripping system with at least millisecond duration H pulses. A second component of the proof-of-scalability phase is to develop a conceptual design for a realistic laser stripping scheme. The status of these efforts and challenges associated with deploying the recycling cavity into the laser stripping experiment will be described in this talk.

  A system to measure the full 6D beam parameters (not 3x2D) has been built at the SNS RFQ test stand. Such a measurement will allow detailed analysis of the beam physics from a properly measured input term. This invited provides an overview of the principles and design of this system, and reports on status and results.

We have proposed to inject a self-consistent "rotating" beam into the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). Self-consistent beam distributions are defined to be ellipsoidal, or elliptical in 2D, distributions that have uniform density and that retain these properties under all linear transformations. We have made much progress since the original proposal. We have demonstrated computationally the feasibility of injecting a rotating beam under realistic physics assumptions. We have optimized the injection scheme with respect to beam loss and to minimum necessary hardware changes. We have also determined how existing SNS beam diagnostic equipment can be used to verify the self-consistency of the injected beam. This paper will report the details of this work as well as the status of plans to carry out the self-consistency experiments.
