Description

Lead talk session B-2.

Beam Dynamics in the SNS Linac and Beam Test Facility:

The SNS Linac is currently the highest-power superconducting linac. This talk will describe operational challenges of the SNS H- linac, with a focus on what we do and don't understand about beam dynamics. R&D projects aimed at improving our understanding will be discussed, with a focus on the Beam Test Facility work and its relevance to improving linac modeling.
