Funding: ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy. The Second Target Station (STS) upgrade for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) proposes the addition of a short pulse, long wavelength neutron scattering station. In order to provide world-class intensity at the additional station, the SNS linac beam power capability is doubled, to 2.8 MW. This will be accommodated by a 30% increase in the beam energy to 1.3 GeV and a 50% increase in beam current. The beam energy increase will be provided by the addition of 7 additional cyro-modules and supporting RF equipment in space provided during the original SNS construction. The beam current increase will be provided by improved ion source and a reduced chopping fraction, and will require increases in the RF and high voltage modulator systems to accommodate the additional beam loading. Initial plans will be presented. The proposed linac upgrade path will be described. |
