The linac of the SNS accelerator facility can be used to produce an electron beam with 300-400 MeV energy. At present there are a few predesigned experiments with electron beam that can be alternatively carried out at the SNS. However, the SNS linac is designed and optimized for acceleration of H , which brings some problems when considering direct acceleration of electrons. Alternative machine setup for electron acceleration and transport are discussed. Here, we present a study of the optimal electron beam parameters that can be achieved without any significant changes of the SNS accelerator.
