LANL, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA
The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) currently provides 100-MeV H+ and 800-MeV H− beams to several user facilities that have distinct beam requirements, e.g. intensity, micropulse pattern, duty factor, etc.. Minimizing beam loss is critical to achieving good performance and reliable operation, but can be challenging in the context of simultaneous multi-beam delivery. This presentation will discuss various aspects related to the observation, characterization and minimization of beam loss associated with normal production beam operations.
