Abstract :
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac will deliver a 1.0 GeV proton beam to its accumulator ring. The normal conducting segment of the linac has a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ), six drift tube linac (DTL) tanks powered by seven 402.5 MHz klystrons and four coupled cavity linac (CCL) modules powered by four 805 MHz klystrons that deliver the 180 MeV beam to the superconducting section of the linac (SCL) that employs eighty one 6-cell cavities powered by eighty-one 805 MHz klystrons. The normal conducting accelerating linac segment has been completely installed in the linac tunnel and successfully conditioned and commissioned. Corresponding high voltage converter modulator (HVCM) and low level RF (LLRF) control systems have been installed and tested.
