  The Spallation Neutron Source accelerator systems will provide a 1 GeV, 1.44 MW proton beam to a liquid mercury target for neutron production. The accelerator complex consists of an H- injector capable of producing 38 mA peak current, a 1 GeV linear accelerator, an accumulator ring and associated transport lines. The linear accelerator consists of a Drift Tube Linac, a Coupled-Cavity Linac and a Superconducting Linac which provide 1.5 mA average current to the accumulator ring. The staged beam commissioning of the accelerator complex is proceeding as component installation progresses. In three separate beam commissioning runs, the H- injector and Drift Tube Linac tanks 1-3 have been commissioned at ORNL. Several important performance goals have been achieved, namely 38 mA peak beam current, 1 msec beam pulse length and 1 mA average beam current. Results and status of the beam commissioning program will be presented.

  As SNS undergoes construction, many detailed questions arise concerning strategies for commissioning and operating the accumulator ring. The ORBIT Code is proving to be an indispensible tool for addressing these questions and for providing guidance to the physicists and decision makers as operation draws near. This paper shows the application of ORBIT to a number of ring issues including exclusion of the HEBT RF cavities during commissioning, the detailed effect of the injection chicane magnets on the beam, the effects and correction of magnet alignment and multipole errors, debunching of the linac 402.5 MHz beam structure, the injection of self consistent uniform beam configurations, and initial electron cloud simulations.

  Particle tracking codes provide an invaluable tool in the design and operation of high intensity machines. An important task in the development of these codes is the validation of the space charge models through benchmark with experimental data. Presented here are benchmarks of the ORBIT particle tracking code with recent measurements of space-charge-induced transverse emittance growth in the CERN PS machine. Benchmarks of two experimental data sets are performed: Integer resonance crossing, and Montague resonance crossing.

  A set of inductive inserts used to provide passive longitudinal space charge compensation in the Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring cause a strong microwave instability in the beam when the inductors are at room temperature. We use the ORBIT code to perform benchmarks of the microwave instability dynamics, including the mode spectrum and the instability growth time. Additionally, we analyze the experimental instability intensity threshold and compare it with the simulated threshold. For all parameters benchmarked, results of simulations are in good agreement with the experimental data.  
WEPLT170 Injection Schemes for Self Consistent Space Charge Distributions 2224

  This paper is based on recently found sets of self-consistent 2D and 3D time-dependent space charge distributions. A subset of these distributions can be injection-painted into an accumulator ring, such as Spallation Neutron Source Ring, to produce periodic space charge conditions. The periodic condition guarantees zero space-charge-induced halo growth and beam loss during injection. Practical aspects of such schemes are discussed, and simulations of a few specific cases are presented.

  A large suite of physics software applications is being developed to facilitate beam measurement and control in the SNS accumulator ring. Two such applications are an injection control and measurement application, and a ring optics control application. The injection application will handle measurement and control of the linac beam position and angle at the stripper foil, and will be used to measure the twiss parameters of the linac beam at the foil. The optics control application will provide knobs for machine working point, chromaticity, arc phase advance, and harmonic correction. Both applications are written within the standard in-house XAL framework. Presented here are first versions of the applications, along with plans for future development and testing.

  A Java programming infrastructure for high level applications has been developed and is being used for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The framework provides a hierarchal view of the accelerator and hides much of the underlying control system details. The hierarchy is database configured, facilitating sharing of applications across different beamlines, shielding the programmer from detailed knowledge of signal names, and allowing wholesale updating of applications. An important aspect of the framework is an online model, which can be run for design values, live machine values or user selected tuning values. Sample applications will be shown.
