Abstract

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator is in a period of rapid beam power ramp-up, with operation of over 0.5 MW achieved to date. SNS is the first high power proton pulsed superconducting linac (SCL), and has unique challenges. Beam tuning methods have been developed for setting the many independently powered SCL cavities, and recover from faults. The challenges and experience of minimizing beam loss at the high operational powers are also presented.
