Progress towards an RFQ-based front end for LANSCE
- The LANSCE linear accelerator at Los Alamos National Laboratory provides H− and H+ beams to several user facilities that support Isotope Production, NNSA Stockpile Stewardship, and Basic Energy Science programs. These beams are initially accelerated to 750 keV using Cockcroft-Walton (CW) based injectors that have been in operation for over 37 years. They have failure modes which can result in prolonged operational downtime due to the unavailability of replacement parts. To reduce long-term operational risks and to realize future beam performance goals in support of the Materials Test Station (MTS) and the Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes (MaRIE) Facility, plans are underway to develop a Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) based front end as a modern injector replacement for the existing CW injectors. Our progress to date will be discussed.
