This Progress Report describes the operation of the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) and the research programs carried out there for the years 1992 and 1993. The accelerator operated for over 100 days in 1992, providing beams of H(+), H(-), and polarized H(-), for a rich and varied research program in nuclear physics. The accelerator had only fair beam availability in 1992 (for example, the average H(+) beam availability was 72 percent, caused largely by problems in the 201-MHz rf system. A major effort was expended to address these problems before the 1993 run. These efforts were rewarded by good beam availability in 1993 and few problems with the 201-MHz system. LAMPF operated remarkably smoothly during 1993, in the midst of a period of great uncertainty in the future of the facility and the downsizing of MP Division, which led to the loss of a large number of key people to positions elsewhere in the Laboratory. The H(+) intensity had to be held to no more than (approximately) 800(mu)A because of a vacuum leak in the A2 target. Nevertheless, the accelerator operated very reliably and the summer run in 1993 proved to be extremely productive. This report discusses the research conducted on: nuclear and particle physics; atomic physics; radiation effects; materials science; astrophysics; and theoretical physics.
