Description
The LANSCE accelerator is extraordinarily flexible in its ability to simultaneously accelerate both H+ and H- beams, and provide concurrent beam delivery to five independent user stations. LANSCE has been in operation for more than 50 years, and many of the accelerator structures, such as the Cockcroft-Walton injectors and drift-tube linac tanks, are original. To address end-of-life concerns and position the facility for extended operation into the future, the LANSCE Accelerator Modernization Project (LAMP) encompasses replacement of the upstream portions of the LANSCE accelerator, from the H+ and H- ion sources through the end of the drift-tube linac. In order to meet beam delivery requirements with modern equivalent systems, elements of the LAMP design require technical maturation. This paper describes the Critical Technology Elements (CTEs) in the LAMP conceptual design, presents the design elements requiring additional development, and discusses the maturation plan and schedule.
