Abstract

The SNS superconducting linac (SCL) is designed to deliver 1 GeV, up to 1.56-MW pulsed H^- beams for neutron production. Commissioning of the accelerator systems was completed in June 2006, and the maximum beam energy achieved was approximately 952 MeV. In 2007, the SCL was successfully tuned for 1.01 GeV beam during a test operation. In the linac tune-up, phase scan signature matching, drifting beam measurement, and linac radio frequency cavity phase scaling were applied. In this paper, we will introduce the experience with the SCL, including the tune-up, beam loss, and beam activation, and briefly discuss beam parameter measurements.
