Abstract
The Proton Power Upgrade (PPU) project at the Spallation Neutron Source will double the available proton beam power from 1.4 to 2.8 MW by increasing the beam energy from 1.0 to 1.3 GeV and the beam current from 26 to 38 mA. The increase in beam current resulted in the need to redesign the existing normal conducting linac (NCL) RF Systems. High-power testing of the existing NCL RF Systems configured to accelerate PPU-level beam provided the data used to make the final design decisions. This paper describes the development and execution of those in-situ tests and the subsequent results.
