TUOAA02 | Status and Performance of ORNL Spallation Neutron Source Accelerator Systems | 1007 |
|
||
Funding: This work was supported by SNS through UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. DOE. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator sys-tems have been performing continuously and progressively since commissioning in 2006 to deliver the neutrons to beamlines. The 1.4 MW design beam power has been demonstrated during 24/7 operation while developments and investigations for system improvements are still ongoing to achieve the full design beam power and availability. Numerous difficulties that impeded reaching the full performance of the SNS accelerator systems have been identified and are being eliminated through repairs, upgrades, and developments. In this report, operational performance and developments of the accelerator systems are presented along with the efforts for future upgrades of the SNS. |

TUZB01 | High Power Proton Beam Targets: Technological Evolution, Current Challenges, and the Future | 1075 |
|
||
Funding: ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. This talk reviews the history of proton beam target development and the current challenges associated with the operation of high power beam targets. Beyond providing high power proton beams, accelerator facilities must also engineer robust targets to accept the load and satisfy mission needs. Recently some high power facilities are limited by target operations, rather than accelerator capabilities. The outlook for targets for future high power facilities is also considered. |
