	For over a decade, Linear Paul Traps (LPT) have been used in the study of accelerator beam dynamics. LPT studies exploit the similarity of the Hamiltonian with that of a beam in a quadrupole channel while having advantages in the flexibility of parameter choice, compactness and low cost. In collaboration with Hiroshima University, LPT research planned at STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK aims to investigate a range of topics including resonance crossing, halo formation, long-term stability studies and space-charge effects. Initially, a conventional quadrupole-based LPT will be built at RAL and used for a variety of experiments. In parallel, a design for a more advanced LPT that incorporates higher order multipoles will be pursued and later constructed. This multipole trap will allow non-linear lattice elements to be simulated and so broaden considerably the range of experiments that can be conducted. These will include the investigation of resonance crossing in non-linear lattices, a more detailed study of halo formation and the effect of detuning with amplitude. In this paper we report on progress made in the project to date and future plans.

THPF106	Review of Linac Upgrade Options for the ISIS Spallation Neutron Source	3962
	D.C. Plostinar, C.R. Prior, G.H. Rees STFC/RAL/ASTeC, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom
	The ISIS Spallation Neutron Source at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory has recently celebrated 30 years of neutron production. However, with increasing demand for improved reliability and higher beam power it has become clear that a machine upgrade is necessary in the medium to long term. One of the upgrade options is to replace the existing 70 MeV H⁻ injector. In this paper we review the ongoing upgrade programme and highlight three linac upgrade scenarios now under study. The first option is to keep the existing infrastructure and replace the current linac with a higher frequency, more efficient machine. This would allow energies in excess of 100 MeV to be achieved in the same tunnel length. A second option is to replace the current linac with a new 180 MeV linac, requiring a new tunnel. A third option is part of a larger upgrade scenario and involves the construction of an 800 MeV superconducting linac.

The ISIS Spallation Neutron Source at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory has recently celebrated 30 years of neutron production. However, with increasing demand for improved reliability and higher beam power it has become clear that a machine upgrade is necessary in the medium to long term. One of the upgrade options is to replace the existing 70 MeV H⁻ injector. In this paper we review the ongoing upgrade programme and highlight three linac upgrade scenarios now under study. The first option is to keep the existing infrastructure and replace the current linac with a higher frequency, more efficient machine. This would allow energies in excess of 100 MeV to be achieved in the same tunnel length. A second option is to replace the current linac with a new 180 MeV linac, requiring a new tunnel. A third option is part of a larger upgrade scenario and involves the construction of an 800 MeV superconducting linac.
