Abstract :
It is important to bring the cavity rf field amplitude and phase to the design for a high intensity linac such as the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac. A few techniques are available such as the longitudinal acceptance scan and phase scan. During the SNS linac commissioning, tuning of cavities was conducted using the acceptance scan and phase scan technique based on multiparticle simulations. The two techniques are compared.
