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.
