Abstract
Abstract
The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator
facility has been in operation for 50 years performing important
scientific support for national security. The unique feature of the
LANSCE accelerator facility is multi-beam operation, delivering
beams to five experimental areas. The near-term plans are to replace
obsolete and almost end-of-life systems of the LANSCE linear
accelerator with a modern 100-MeV Front End with significant
improvement in beam quality. This paper summarizes experimental
results obtained during the operation of the LANSCE accelerator
facility and considers plans to expand the performance of the
accelerator for near- and long-term operations.
