After entering into the full-commissioning phase of the KEKB linac in May, 1998, we have established two linac injection modes for the KEKB ring: an 8-GeV electron beam and a 3.5-GeV positron beam, as well as beam modes for the rings of the synchrotron light sources. All modes are easily switched for almost one minute without any trouble. The linac beam characteristics have been substantially i...

Presently a new accelerator complex is being planned at CERN, which will replaced the ageing Proton Synchrotron (PS). A high-power160 MeV H linac (Linac 4) will replace the present 50 MeV proton linac injector [1], a 5 GeV Superconducting Proton Linac (SPL) will replace the 1.4 GeV PS Booster (PSB) [2] and a 50 GeV synchrotron (PS 2) will replace the 26 GeV PS [3]. A tentative layout of the pla...

The SNS is a spallation neutron research facility being built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee [1]. The Linac portion of the SNS (with the exception of the superconducting cavities) is the responsibility of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and this responsibility includes the RF system for the entire linac. The linac accelerates an average beam current of 2 mA to an energ...

The peak current limit for the Fermilab Linac was recently studied. The purpose was to learn what components of the present Linac can be used for the first stage of a proposed proton driver[1]. For this application the Linac must provide a H beam in excess of 5000 mAμsec per pulse. The original Fermilab Linac was designed for protons with a peak current of 75 mA and a pulse length of four Boost...

We report on measurements of the bunch energy spectrum at the end of the SLAC linac. Using the spectra obtained for two different linac rf phases we obtain both the bunch induced voltage and the longitudinal distribution of the bunch. The measurement results are compared with theoretical predictions. In particular, the induced voltage is in good agreement with that obtained using the calculated...

Abstract Increasing the Main Injector beam power above ∼ 1.2 MW requires replacement of 8 GeV Booster by a higher intensity alternative. In this paper, we consider an linac that produces H - for injection into Recycler Ring or Injector. This upgrade will maximize available neutrino production long baseline DUNE experiment to greater than 2.5 and enable next generation frontier experiments. The ...

The Gun Test Facility (GTF) was built to test high-brightness sources for the proposed Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC. The longitudinal emittance exiting the gun has been determined by measuring the energy spectrum after the linac as a function of the linac phase. The phase-space parameters defining the beam pulse width, correlated energy spread, and slice energy spread at the linac...
