Abstract

The Front-End Systems (FES) of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project have been described in detail elsewhere. They comprise an rf-driven H^- ion source, electrostatic LEBT, four-vane RFQ, and an elaborate MEBT. These systems are planned to be delivered to the SNS facility in Oak Ridge in June 2002. This paper discusses the latest design features, the status of development work, component fabrication and procurements, and experimental results with the first commissioned beamline elements
