Upgrading the PSI accelerator facility for high intensity operation

Description

In the past Paul Scherrer Institute (formerly SIN) (PSI) facility was routinely operated at proton currents of ∼ 250 μA at 600 MeV. In the future 1.5 mA is anticipated for a spallation neutron source. This necessitates the reconstruction of the target stations and an upgrade of the accelerators. The upgrade program is outlined and the present performance of the accelerators and beam facilities is summarized. (author) 3 refs.; 2 figs.; 2 tabs
