Abstract
The Spallation Neutron Source accelerator systems will deliver a 1.0 GeV, 1.4 MW proton beam to a liquid mercury target for neutron scattering research. The accelerator complex consists of an H-injector, capable of producing one-ms-long pulses at 60 Hz repetition rate with 38 mA peak current, a 1 GeV linear accelerator, an accumulator ring and associated transport lines. The accelerator systems are equipped with variety of beam diagnostics. The beam diagnostics played important role during beam commissioning, they are used for accelerator tuning and monitoring beam status during production runs. The requirements to the various diagnostics systems are changing in the process of beam power ramp up. This talk will give an overview of the evolution of the major SNS beam diagnostics systems: commissioning, operation, power ramp up, and power upgrade.
