Description

The synchrotron for the Spallation Neutron Source ISIS, uses multiturn H- charge-exchange injection through a stripping foil to inject 5 x 1013 protons per pulse at 50 Hz. This paper describes the injection system together with results obtained during commissioning and operation. Up to 250 turns can be injected and the injected intensity is observed to rise linearly up to the maximum injected to data of 2.6 x 10 13. Injection efficiency is in the range 96-98% with approximately 2% loss as partially stripped H0 ions. The synchrotron can now operate at 100 μA with foil lifetimes in excess of 10 mAh injected current
