Description
The Advanced Hydrotest Facility (AHF), a proton radiography and tomography facility, is under study at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). 800-MeV protons from the existing LANSCE linear accelerator are to be accelerated to 50-GeV and the resulting beam split twelve fold during transport through a complex multi-path beam transport and lens system to illuminate a study object along multiple directions. The object-scattered protons are imaged for analysis by a system of large-bore (20 and 50 cm diameter) magnetic lenses. The development and comparison of the AHF superconducting (SC) beam-transport-magnet, supercritical-helium cooling and distribution system options are described. The beam-transport cryoplant system is site positioned and sized, and the system utility costs and facility parameters are estimated
