Abstract

The design optimization of Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) to achieve a average proton beam power of 2 MW for pulsed neutron production was discussed. The electron production was minimized by using a pair of tapered magnets for electron collection near injection foil. The SNS physics groups analyzed the machine performance within the hardware constraints and optimized the accelerator design.
