Description
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project, which is scheduled for completion in
Spring 2006, will utilize 100 RF systems for acceleration and bunching of the H-
beam. Ninety-six of these systems drive the Linac, which was successfully
commissioned with beam in Aug-Sep 2005. The remaining four RF systems are
presently being tested in preparation for the Ring commissioning run, scheduled for
Winter 2005-2006. In this paper the SNS RF systems will be described along with
some operational results and plans for a power upgrade project, which will require
an additional 38 RF stations.
