Description

This year SNS celebrates 20 years of operation and has reached the 2.0 MW power level after the PPU.
This would merit an invited talk on the experience of this two decades of SRF cavity operation, the achieved reliability of the technology for high intensity SRF accelerators, the challenges and the lessons learned implemented in the PPU upgrade.
