The Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) Project at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory will upgrade or replace accelerator components for beam power capability from 1.4 to 2.8 MW and upgrade the first target station for 2-MW beam at 1.3 GeV and at 60 pulses per second. The remaining beam power will be available for the future second target station. PPU scope is...
The European Spallation Source Linac is getting more and more ready. The drift tube linac has produced first beam, and the linac with its cryomodules and also warm units is taking shape. By LINAC 2024 first commissioning results can be expected. Beam on target is expected for 2025.
The Future Ions Working Group at CERN has been mandated to assess production and operation of new ion species in the CERN accelerator complex, to supply fixed target users but also LHC experiments and their potential upgrades (ALICE3). This talk will review the tests carried out at Linac3 (first accelerator in the ion chain) in recent years and overview the latest requests for continuation of...
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a major nuclear physics facility for research with fast, stopped, and reaccelerated rare isotope beams, was successfully commissioned and has been in operation for the past two years. Various ion beam species have been accelerated up to 300 MeV/u and delivered to the target. FRIB routinely provided 10 kW primary beams on target over the past year, a...
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has a long-term plan to develop a high energy (~ 1 GeV), high power (~ 10 MW cw) proton accelerator for Accelerator Driven System. With this endeavour, a pre-cursor project was conceived to develop a low energy (~ 20 MeV), high power (~200 kW) proton accelerator, utilizing 352.2 MHz RFQ accelerator, followed by four tanks of 352.2 MHz DTLs. Recently, beam...
The CSNS power upgrade project (CSNS-II) has been launched. It will increase the proton beam power from 100 kW to 500 kW, along with the new construction of 9 neutron instruments. CSNS-II will utilize superconducting accelerator structures to raise the linac energy from 80 MeV to 300 MeV. The pre-research on key technologies has been completed. The newly developed RF ion source is already...
