Abstract :
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory´s neutron spallation source ISIS is running at its design intensity of 200 μA and demand for experimental time is 2.4 times that available. Studies have shown that it is possible to increase the accelerated current to nearly 300 μA by installing four 2nd harmonic RF cavities in the synchrotron. This scheme, together with the other necessary changes to the ISIS Facility, are described. Compared with the capital value of the Facility, the expense of providing the extra 100 μA is shown to be very modest
