Upgrade of the AGS H{sup {minus}} linac

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10178574
The AGS linac presently accelerates 25 mA of H{sup {minus}} to 200 MeV at a 5 Hz rep-rate and 500 {mu}s pulse width. The Booster takes 4 pulses every 3.8 seconds, and the remaining pulses are used for isotope production. The authors are in the process of upgrading the linac to increase the average current delivered for isotope production by more than a factor of two, while at the same time expecting to decrease linac downtime. Various aspects of this upgrade are discussed, including the upgrade of the control system, new high power transmission line, transport line vacuum, and rf power supply system upgrades.
