Performance of the H- Ion Source Supporting 1-MW Beam Operations at SNS

  • 1. Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 (United States)

Description

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory reached 1-MW of beam power in September 2009, and now routinely operates near 1-MW for the production of neutrons. This paper reviews the performance, operational issues, implemented and planned mitigations of the SNS H- ion source to support such high power-level beams with high availability. Some results from R and D activities are also briefly described.
