LASL high-current proton storage rings

Conference ·
The Proton Storage Ring at LAMPF is a high-current accumulator designed to convert long 800-MeV linac pulses into very short high-intensity proton bunches ideally suited to driving a pulsed polyenergetic neutron source. The Ring, authorized for construction at $19 million, will operate in a short-bunch high-frequency mode for fast neutron physics and a long-bunch low-frequency mode for thermal neutron-scattering programs. Unique features of the project include charge-changing injection with initial conversion from H/sup -/ to H/sup 0/, a high repetition rate fast-risetime extraction kicker, and high-frequency and first-harmonic bunching system.
