The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Linear Accelerator (Linac) delivers a high power proton beam (>1 MW) for neutron production with high neutron availability (>90%). For beam acceleration, the Linac has both normal and super conducting RF sections, with the Super Conducting Linac (SCL) portion providing the majority of beam acceleration (81 of 96 RF cavities are super conducting). Operationally, the goal is to achieve the highest possible beam energy by maximizing SCL cavity RF gradients, but not at the expense of cavity reliability. One mechanism that has negatively impacted both SCL cavity RF gradients and reliability is beam lost into the SCL due to malfunctions of upstream components. Understanding the sources and impacts of errant beam on SCL cavity performance will be discussed.

The SNS uses charge exchange injection to minimize losses during the accumulation of the accelerated beam in the ring. A stripper foil implements this by removing the electrons from the high intensity H beam coming from the linac. At a beam power of 1.2 MW, the foil lasts for many weeks, sometimes months. However, given the upgrade to 2.8 MW, it is important to know the current temperature of stripper foil in order to estimate its lifetime for the new beam power and beam size. In this paper, we discuss several methods to measure the temperature of stripper foil exposed to current operating conditions of the SNS accelerator. Given the high radiation in the vicinity of the foil, the uncertainty in the foil's emissivity, and available resources, we chose a two-wavelength pyrometer that is located 40 m from the foil. The pyrometer is composed of two mirrors, a refracting telescope, and two photodiodes. We present the calibration data and the temporally resolved measurements made with this pyrometer.

Large dynamic vacuum pressure rises of orders of magnitude which caused by the lost heavy ions can seriously limit the ion intensity and beam lifetime of the heavy ion accelerator, especially for the machine that operate the intermediate charge state heavy ion. The High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) which will be built by the IMP will accumulate the intermediate charge state ion 238U35+ to intensity 2*1011 ppp to different terminals. In order to control the dynamic vacuum effects induced by the lose beams and design the collimation system for the BRing of the HIAF, a newly developed simulation program (ColBeam) and GSI's simulation code StrahlSim are both conducted and the dynamic vacuum simulation result is calculated by the StrahlSim. According to the simulation result, 3*1011 ppp particles is the up limit beam intensity can be extracted for the current BRing vacuum system design. Higher beam intensity can be reach to 5*1011 ppp when the NEG coating technology must be implemented for the dipole and quadrupole chamber.

  Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reaction of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research begins the works under the conceptual design of radiation facility based on the DC130 cyclotron. The facility is intended for SEE testing of microchips, for production of track membranes and for solving of applied physics problems. The DC130 cyclotron will accelerate heavy ions with mass-to-charge ratio A/Z of the range from 5 to 8 up to fixed energies 2 and 4.5 MeV per unit mass. The intensity of the accelerated ions will be about 1 pmcA for lighter ions (A<50) and about 0.1 pmcA for heavier ions (A>50). The injection into cyclotron will be realized from the external DECRIS-SC superconducting ECR ion source. The main magnet and acceleration system of DC130 is based on the U200 cyclotron ones that now is under reconstruction. The conceptual design parameters of various systems of the cyclotron and the set of experimental beam lines are presented in this report.
