Spallation sources: Spallation sources
- Morten Jensen (European Spallation Source)
emphasized textThe RF linac in SNS has been performing progressively since the commissioning in 2006 for production and delivery of neutrons to beamlines. The RF systems in the front-end, the normal conducting section, and the superconducting section, have been operating as initially designed but with some limitations. Various problems that hampered achieving the design beam power and...
To support the requirements for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Second Target Station (STS), the accelerator systems will be upgraded to support an average proton beam power on target of 2.8MW. To accomplish this requires an increase in both beam energy and average current. We describe the upgrades to the SNS Radio Frequency (RF) systems to support these requirements.
The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source by the end of the decade. The ESS linac will accelerate a proton beam current of 62.5 mA to 2 GeV. The beam pulse width is 2.86 ms long and the pulse repetition frequency is 14 Hz, producing a proton beam with 5 MW average power and 125 MW peak power. The acceleration will be provided by 155 cavities....
ESS Bilbao, an international center for neutron science and technologies in Spain, is in charge of Spanish in-kind contribution to the European Spallation Source (ESS) project. That includes all high power RF sources for the normal-conducting section of ESS LINAC consists of three 30kW solid-state amplifiers for buncher cavities in the MEBT section and six 3MW 352MHz klystron amplifiers for...
