	A.P. Shishlo, A.V. Aleksandrov, A.P. Zhukov ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA Y. Liu KEK/JAEA, Ibaraki-Ken, Japan
	Funding: This manuscript has been authored by UT-Battelle, LLC, under Contract No. DE-AC0500OR22725 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The paper presents the beam dynamics studies for the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator. The analysis of measurements is based on the PyORBIT linac model. The diagnostics data includes wire scanners' profiles, slit-harp and slit-slit transverse emittances, MEBT re-bunchers calibration data, and bunch length measurements. The MEBT is a matching section between RFQ and a Drift Tube Linac (DTL). It is also a place for beam halo scraping which helps to reduce beam loss in downstream linac sections. The linac simulation code was benchmarked against the diagnostics data.

TUPVA145	Commissioning of the New SNS RFQ and 2.5MeV Beam Test Facility	2438

	Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. SNS injector uses a four-vane 402.5MHz RFQ for accelerating the H⁻ beam with 38mA peak current and 7% duty factor to 2.5MeV. The original RFQ, commissioned in 2002, has been able to support SNS operation up to the design average beam power of 1.4MW. However, several problems have developed over almost fifteen years of operation. A new RFQ with design changes addressing the known problems has been built and commissioned up to the design beam power at the new SNS Beam Test Facility (BTF). The BTF consists of a 65 keV H⁻ ion source, a 2.5MeV RFQ, a beam line with advanced transverse and longitudinal beam diagnostics and a 6 kW beam dump. This presentation provides results of the RFQ commissioning and the BTF beam instrumentation commissioning. We also discuss progress of the ongoing multidimensional phase space characterization experiment and future beam dynamics study planned at the SNS BTF.

TUPVA146	6D Phase Space Measurement of Low Energy, High Intensity Hadron Beam	2441
	B.L. Cathey ORNL RAD, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA A.V. Aleksandrov, S.M. Cousineau, A.P. Zhukov ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
	Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. The work has been partially supported by NSF grant 1535312 The goal of this experiment is to measure the full 6D phase space of a low energy, high intensity hadron beam. We use 4D emittance measurement techniques for the transverse plane combined with dispersion measurement and a beam shape monitor to provide the longitudinal phase space. The Beam Testing Facility (BTF) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), a 2.5 MeV functional duplicate front end of the SNS accelerator is being used to facilitate the measurement. Early 6D measurements will be presented.

WEPVA150	New Controller for High Voltage Converter Modulator at Spallation Neutron Source	3621
	D.L. Brown, X. Geng, S.W. Lee, M. Wezensky, A.P. Zhukov ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
	Funding: This manuscript has been authored by UT-Battelle, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725 with the U.S. Department of Energy. We have developed a new control system for the high voltage converter modulator at the Spallation Neutron Source to replace the original control system designed by Los Alamos National Laboratory which is approaching obsolescence. The new controller, based on national instruments PXI/FlexRIO FPGA hardware, offers enhancements over the original system such as modular construction, flexibility and non-proprietary software. The new controller also provides new capabilities like modulator pulse flattening, waveform capture & first fault detection. This paper will discuss the design of the system, including the human machine interface, based on lessons learned at the Spallation Neutron Source and other projects. It will also discuss performance and other issues related to operation in an accelerator facility which requires high availability. To date half of the high voltage converter modulators have been upgraded with the new controller with the remainder scheduled for completion by mid-2017.
