Description

The LANSCE Accelerator Modernization Project (LAMP) is designing a modernized front-end, up to 100-MeV, for the LANSCE accelerator. The LAMP front-end will replace the two Cockcroft-Waltons with a single Radiofrequency Quadrupole and replace the Drift Tube Linac (DTL) with a modernized version. As part of the Technical Readiness Evaluation there are Critical Technical Elements (CTEs) that need to be addressed for the project to achieve Critical Decision 3. To address these CTEs and as risk mitigation for an accelerator that is in current operation, we plan to assemble LAMP from ion sources through the first DTL Tank, approximately 9-MeV, in an adjacent facility. This paper discusses the current status and future work of this plan: LAT.

Funding Agency

Work was performed under the auspices of the US Department of Energy by Triad National Security under contract 89233218CNA000001.
