TI - High Beam Intensity Harp Studies and Developments at SNS J2 - Proc. of IPAC2015, Richmond, VA, USA, May 3-8, 2015 C1 - Richmond, VA, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 6 LA - english AB - The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Harp consists of 30 wires for each of the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal planes. The purpose of the harp is to measure the position, profile, and peak density of the high intensity beam coming out of the accumulator ring and going onto the spallation target. The data-acquisition hardware is now over ten years old and many of the electronics parts are obsolete. Occasionally, the electronics must be rebooted to reset the sample-and-hold circuitry. To evaluate options for a new system, the signals from the harp were studied. This paper will describe these studies’ results, the design, and initial results of the new and simpler data-acquisition system..
