Abstract

The performance of the SNS H- ion source was significantly improved over the years with a primary emphasis on operational lifetime and reliability. The recent developments in support of the SNS Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) have resulted in a remarkable boost in the ion source output current, increasing from the existing capability of ~60 mA to more than 100 mA. This paper briefly reviews the ion source reliability improvements and discusses the design and diagnostics of recent beam current enhancement.
