The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator sys-tems have been performing continuously and progressively since commissioning in 2006 to deliver the neutrons to beamlines. The 1.4 MW design beam power has been demonstrated during 24/7 operation while developments and investigations for system improvements are still ongoing to achieve the full design beam power and availability. Numerous difficulties that impeded reaching the full performance of the SNS accelerator systems have been identified and are being eliminated through repairs, upgrades, and developments. In this report, operational performance and developments of the accelerator systems are presented along with the efforts for future upgrades of the SNS.

  Beam-based alignment (BBA) techniques are important tools for beam orbit steering in linear accelerators or transfer lines. In this paper this technique and the control system application programs developed based on XAL platform were applied to the beam commissioning for Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) of CSNS to get the transverse misalignments of beam position monitor (BPM) and quad. The results shows that the absolute values of BPMs offsets are less than 0.6 mm and quads offsets are less than 0.05 mm,that is much smaller than the tolerance of the misalignment.

  The European Spallation Source front end will deliver a 62.5 mA beam current of 2.8 ms duration at 352 MHz to the downstream linac, which in turn will produce a 5 MW proton beam onto the target. Such unprecedented beam power requires a high quality beam with accurate and stable beam parameters in order to assure low beam losses and safe transport through the linac. In this paper we present advanced tuning methods for the low energy beam transport and the radio frequency quadrupole.

  The construction of the European Spallation Source, ESS, started in summer 2014. At the site in Lund, the accelerator tunnel will be completed at the time of IPAC16, while prototyping and manufacturing or prepara-tions for manpower contributions are going on in more 23 laboratories distributed over the 12 European countries collaborating on the accelerator project. Major technical milestones have been reached include the testing of su-perconducting cavity prototypes of two families to values above design gradients, the first ESS modulator has been tested to 90 kV and the first klystron prototype has been received in April 2016. Equally important developments are taking place at many partner laboratories. The presen-tation will summarize the status of the ESS accelerator project by the time of IPAC16..
