	To mitigate the operational risks associated with the SNS electrostatic LEBT, an R&D effort is underway to develop a 2-solenoid magnetic LEBT, which should improve the reliability while matching or exceeding the beam dynamic capabilities of the present electrostatic LEBT.

The H^- linac for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) includes an electrostatic low-energy beam transport (LEBT) subsystem. The ion source group at SNS is developing a solenoid-based LEBT, which will include MHz frequency chopping of the partly-neutralized, 65~keV, 60~mA H^- beam. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations using the parallel VORPAL framework are being used to explore the possibility of beam instabilities caused by the cloud of neutralizing ions generated from the background gas, or by other dynamical processes that could increase the emittance of the H^- beam before it enters the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator.

WEP275	Highly-Persistent SNS H⁻ Source Fueling 1-MW Beams with 7-9 kC Service Cycles	1993

	Funding: SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. Running routinely with ~40-mA, 1-MW beams, the SNS linac is fed from the ion source with ~1ms long, ~50-mA H⁻ beam pulses at 60 Hz. This requires the daily extraction of ~230 C of H⁻ ions, which exceeds the routine daily production of other H⁻ accelerator sources by almost an order of magnitude. The source service cycle has been extended from 2, to 3, to 4, and up to 5.6 weeks without age-related failures. The 7-9 kC of H⁻ ions delivered in single service cycles exceed the service cycle yields of other accelerator sources. The paper discusses the findings as well as the issues and their mitigations, which enabled the simultaneous increase of the beam current, the duty factor, the availability, and the service cycle.
