Abstract
The SNS synchrotron is being designed for proton currents of 200 μA average, 35 A peak at 800 MeV, 50 Hz. The synchrotron may be operated in a 70 MeV proton storage ring mode when it becomes highly suitable for simulating the conditions in the type of storage rings proposed for heavy ion fusion drivers. Among the topics that may be simulated and investigated are:
bunch compression and longitudinal space charge compensation, transverse and longitudinal emittance dilution during compression, transverse and longitudinal instabilities, debunching of the linac beam in an accumulator ring, beam transport under conditions of high space charge and operation of induction linac sections in an external beam line.
