Challenges of reconciling theoretical and measured beam parameters at the SNS accelerator facility

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is steadily approaching its design beam power of 1.4 MW without encountering major of the models used for the accelerator design and tuning. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly difficult to reconcile many of the measured beam parameters with the model prediction. In this paper we discuss several examples of such discrepancies, ranging from a simple single particle tracking to beam emittance measurements. We also present our approach to resolving some of the issues from a diagnostics standpoint.
