Abstract

RF barrier cavities present an attractive option for facilitating the path to higher beam intensity in the SNS power upgrade. Barrier cavities lead to flat longitudinal current densities, thus minimizing bunch factor effects. In addition to allowing more beam to be injected in this fashion, flat current profiles may lead to increased e-p instability thresholds due to reduced multipacting during the trailing stage of the bunch. Finally, it is possible to inject self-consistent beam distributions into barrier buckets, thus providing the additional advantages of uniform transverse beam density (good for meeting target constraints) and little or no halo (good for low losses). Simulations addressing all these issues are presented and discussed.
