The SNS linac output energy has increased since the start of neutron production in FY2007. The various improvements that contributed to the increase of the linac output energy are LLRF/control system improvement, high voltage converter modulator system improvement, high-power RF system improvement, cryomodule repairs, spare cryomodule development and accelerating gradient improvement through in-situ plasma processing. In this paper, the history of the SNS SCL output energy is reported, and plans for the near-term future and for the Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) project are also presented.

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) project aims to double the proton accelerator beam power from 1.4 to 2.8 MW. Over the past year PPU has completed the reviews necessary for Critical Decision-1 approval. The baseline design choices are being refined, and a cost-effective approach has been identified. The beam energy will be increased by 30% and the beam current capability improved by ~50%. The sub-system improvements and anticipated schedule will be discussed.
