The Fermilab Accelerator Complex is currently home to the world's most powerful neutrino beam, driven by a 1 MW 120 GeV proton beam. The forthcoming PIPII upgrade will further enhance this capability, although additional enhancements are necessary to meet the integrated beam requirements of the DUNE project. The past performance will be summarized and the Accelerator Complex Evolution (ACE)...
During the coherent electron cooling (CeC) experiment at RHIC, we have encountered various challenges to align the electron beam both in the low energy beam transfer line (LEBT) and in the cooling section. For example, the electrons exit the SRF gun with an orbital angle of tens of milli-radian, which is likely caused by the misalignment of the cavity inside the cryostat as well as the tilted...
The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) has been in service for over 50 years. The LANSCE accelerator is exhibiting an increasing rate of end-of-life issues, particularly in the “front end” region – from the ion sources to the end of the 100-MeV drift tube linac (DTL). The LANSCE Accelerator Modernization Project (LAMP), recently been approved for CD-0, will replace the existing LANSCE...
