  The China Spal­la­tion Neu­tron Source(CSNS) ac­cel­era-tor sys­tems is de­signed to de­liver a 1.6GeV, 100kW pro­ton beam to a solid metal tar­get for neu­tron scat­ter­ing re­search. The ac­cel­er­a­tor con­sists of a front end, an 80MeV DTL linac, and a 1.6GeV Rapid Cy­cling Syn-chro­tron (RCS). In Au­gust 2017 the first 1.6GeV pro­ton beam hit on the tung­sten tar­get and pro­duc­tion neu­trons were mon­i­tored. This paper will re­port the major steps and re­sults of the ma­chine com­mis­sion­ing and beam com­mis­sion­ing of the CSNS front end and linac. In the first sec­tion, a brief in­tro­duc­tion of the CSNS ac­cel­er­a­tor de­sign and pre­sent sta­tus will be pre­sented. Then, we will share our com­mis­sion­ing ex­pe­ri­ence in the front end and the DTL linac in the fol­low­ing sec­tions.

  The China Spal­la­tion Neu­tron Source(CSNS) ac­cel­era-tor sys­tems is de­signed to de­liver a 1.6GeV, 100kW pro-ton beam to a solid metal tar­get for neu­tron scat­ter­ing re­search. It con­sists of a 50keV H Ion Source, a 3MeV Radio Fre­quency Quadru­pole (RFQ), an 80MeV Drift Tube Linac (DTL), and a 1.6GeV Rapid-cy­cling Syn­chro-tron (RCS). The DTL con­sists of four tanks. In 2017, three of four tanks have been com­mis­sioned suc­cess­fully, and beam has been ac­cel­er­ated to 61MeV with nearly 100% trans­mis­sion. How­ever, in July 2017, one quadru­pole con­tained in the drift tube was found fault, the beam trans­mis­sion de­creased to 80%. A new lat­tice has been de­signed and the 100% trans­mis­sion has re­cov­ered. In Jan­u­ary 2018, the last tank of the DTL has been com­mis­sioned and ac­cel­er­ated the H beam to the de­sign en­ergy of 80MeV for the first time. The com­mis­sion­ing progress and the mea­sure­ment re­sults be­fore and after lat­tice ad­just­ment will be pre­sented.

  All the beam pa­ra­me­ters of China Spal­la­tion Neu­tron Source (CSNS) linac had achieved the ac­cep­tance goals in Jan­u­ary 2018 after a 2-year com­mis­sion­ing. Pa­ra­me­ters of the H beam were care­fully stud­ied and cor­rected. Beam en­ergy was mea­sured and the en­ergy dis­per­sion are re­duced. Trans­verse emit­tance are ob­tained by dif­fer­ent tools and meth­ods. Lin­ear op­tics mea­sure­ments and cor­rec­tions were car­ried out under var­ied beam en­er­gies and peak in­ten­si­ties.

  An Al­varez-type Drift tube linac (DTL) was uti­lized to ac­cel­er­ate the H ion beam of up to 15mA peak cur­rent from 3 to 80MeV of China Spal­la­tion neu­tron source (CSNS). For ease of man­u­fac­tur­ing and mea­sure­ment, the CSNS DTL was di­vided into four in­de­pen­dent cav­i­ties. The Q fac­tor of four cav­i­ties were given, in­clud­ing the mea­sure­ment re­sults of low-power[1] and high-power[2], and sev­eral rea­sons for the low Q fac­tor of the cav­ity in the mea­sure­ment process were analysed. Dur­ing the op-er­a­tion of the DTL, the fre­quent alarm of the water flow switch causes the power of the cav­ity to fall to 0. Esti-mate the power loss of each com­po­nent, under the cir-cum­stances of en­sur­ing ad­e­quate water flow, re­duce the alarm thresh­old of the water flow switch of some compo-nents to im­prove the sta­bil­ity of the sys­tem.

  The China Spal­la­tion Neu­tron Source (CSNS) Drift tube linac (DTL) ac­cel­er­ates H beam from 3 to 80MeV with 4 in­de­pen­dent tanks. The 80MeV beam ac­cel­er­a­tion was achieved in Jan­u­ary 2018. The linac is a key to the re­li­a­bil­ity of the whole CSNS fa­cil­ity since all the beams stop when these up­stream fa­cil­i­ties fail. Many ef­forts have been made for DTL re­li­able op­er­a­tion. This paper pre­sents the op­er­a­tion ex­pe­ri­ence learned in DTL com-mis­sion­ing.

  The high power RF con­di­tion­ing of CSNS DTL was fin­ished in April 2017 with peak input power 1.6MW, 650us pulse width, 25Hz rep­e­ti­tion fre­quency. With care­ful tun­ing of RF am­pli­tude and phase, beam was ac­cel­er­ated to 80MeV suc­cess­fully with max­i­mum peak beam cur­rent 12mA and about 98% trans­mis­sion ef­fi­ciency. DTL op­er­ate sta­bly at full power level with sev­eral trips per day with­out beam in­ter­rup­tion after six months com­mis­sion­ing. The whole RF con­di­tion­ing process was pre­sented and some de­tails of beam com­mis­sion­ing were de­scribed in this paper.

  The China Spal­la­tion Neu­tron Source (CSNS) suc­cess­fully ac­cel­er­ated the H beam to 80 MeV in Jan­u­ary 2018, mark­ing a key progress in the beam com­mis­sion­ing. One of the keys to suc­cess is the de­vel­op­ment and use of soft­ware tools. XAL, a Java-based soft­ware in­fra­struc­ture orig­i­nally de­vel­oped by SNS was ap­plied for CSNS beam com­mis­sion­ing. We have de­vel­oped and trans­planted many ap­pli­ca­tions based on XAL. Some of the ap­pli­ca­tions for the Linac are de­scribed ,and some ex­pe­ri­ences are shared.
