Description
The LANSCE Accelerator Modernization Project (LAMP) will replace the front-end of the existing LANSCE accelerator, from ion sources through the end of the 100-MeV drift-tube linac. LAMP requires higher peak H- beam currents, and longer lifetimes, than provided by the existing LANSCE H- ion sources. The project is currently constructing an SNS multicusp cesiated source design with an internal RF antenna. This paper discusses the H- source performance requirements for LAMP, and progress towards assembling, commissioning, and operating an SNS-type source at the LAMP RFQ Test Stand (RFQTS).
