The Spallation Neutron Source [1], located at Oak Ridge, TN, is a state-of-the-art neutron-scattering facility presently under construction as a collaborative effort of six national laboratories. The facility is comprised of a high-power particle-accelerator system, a liquid-mercury target-moderator system, and a suite of world-class scientific instruments. One-ms-long negative-hydrogen-ion (H-) pulses are produced by an ion source. The ion beam is accelerated to 185 MeV by normal conducting (NC) linear accelerator (linac) cavities, and further accelerated to 1 GeV by a superconducting linac [2]. The acceleration is accomplished by means of niobium superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities that operate at 2.1K. The linac beam is stacked in a compressor ring, and 695-ns-long pulses are extracted onto the target at a 60-Hz rate. Neutrons are produced by spallation in the mercury, and their energy is moderated to useable levels, in part by supercritical hydrogen moderators. The simultaneous performance goals of more than one MW of initial proton beam power, 95% facility availability, and the desire for hands-on maintenance capability in the accelerator complex place significant demands on the performance and operational reliability of the technical and conventional systems. An overview of the SNS facility, including its purpose, major components, and a summary of the present status is presented, with particular emphasis on the superconducting linac and the cryogenic moderators. .
