The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator systems, which consist of an H- injector, a 1 GeV linear accelerator, an accumulator ring and associated transport lines, will provide a 1 GeV, 1.44 MW proton beam to a liquid mercury target for neutron production. The SNS is presently under construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and will begin operations in 2006. Even in the baseline design, many of the accelerator subsystems are capable of supporting higher beam intensities and higher beam energy. We report on upgrade scenarios for the SNS accelerator systems which increase the 1.44 MW baseline beam power to at least 3 MW, and perhaps as high as 5 MW. The increased SNS beam power can be achieved primarily by increasing the H- ion source current, installing additional superconducting cryomodules to increase the final linac beam energy to 1.3-1.4 GeV, and modifying injection and extraction hardware in the ring to handle the increased beam energy. The upgrade beam parameters will be presented, the required hardware modifications will be described, and the beam dynamics implications will be discussed.

A series of emittance measurements were performed at the end of Drift Tube Linac tank 1 of the Spallation Neutron Source to verify experimentally the previously proposed halo generation mechanism and its mitigation schemes [1]. The emittance measurements clearly showed a visible reduction in the halo as well as a significant reduction in the rms emittance when the proposed round beam optics is employed. This confirms experimentally the halo generation mechanism we identified.

Transverse matching for a high intensity linac was proposed based on minimizing rms emittances. A MATLAB routine was developed and applied during the SNS linac commissioning. The result was also compared with the simulations.

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.
