Abstract

The baseline Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator complex, consisting of an H- injector, a 1 GeV linear accelerator, and an accumulator ring, will provide a 1 GeV, 1.44 MW proton beam to a liquid mercury target for neutron production. Even in the baseline design, many of the accelerator subsystems are capable of supporting higher beam intensities and higher beam energy. Upgrades to the SNS accelerator and target systems to increase the beam power to at least 2 MW, with a design goal of 3 MW, are in the planning stages. The upgrade beam parameters will be presented and the required hardware modifications will be described.
