Lansce RF System Refurbishment

The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) is in the planning phase of a refurbishment project that will sustain reliable facility operations well into the next decade. The linear accelerator was constructed in the late 1960s and commissioned as the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) in 1972. As the mission changed, LANSCE became a national user facility that provides pulsed protons and spallation neutrons for defense and civilian research and applications. The upgrade will replace all of the 201.25 MHz RF systems and a substantial fraction of the 805 MHz RF systems and high voltage systems. This paper will provide the design details of the new RF and high voltage systems.
