Abstract

The Spallation Neutron Source accelerator systems are designed to 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 a variety of beam diagnostics, which played an important role during beam commissioning. They are used for accelerator tuning and monitoring beam status during production runs. This paper gives an overview of our experience with the major SNS beam diagnostics systems.
