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.

TUPAL045	Towards Operational Scalability for H⁻ Laser Assisted Charge Exchange	1110

	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.

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.

THPAK067	Progress Toward a Self-Consistent Beam at the Spallation Neutron Source	3382

	Funding: ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the US DOE. This research was supported by the DOE Office of Science, Accelerator and Detector Research Program. 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.
