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. |

Funding: Oak Ridge National Laboratory is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 for the U.S. Department of Energy A new 2.5Mev beam test facility is being built at SNS. It consists of a 65 keV H− ion source, a 2.5MeV RFQ, a beam line with various beam diagnostics and a 6 kW beam dump. The facility is capable of producing one-ms-long pulses at 60Hz repetition rate with up to 50mA peak current. Commissioning with reduced average beam power is planned for fall 2014 to verify operation of all systems. The full power operation is scheduled to begin in 2015. Status of the facilty will be presented as well as discussion of the future R&D program. |
