The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Linac and FEL Division has recently commissioned a new MHz repetition-rate superconducting free-electron laser. This has necessitated upgrading/expanding the functionality of a wide variety of software and developing entirely new software. Such an effort has exposed a number of difficulties related to working with the software infrastructure we have...
The European Spallation Source (ESS) in Sweden, soon to be in its early operational phase, aims to be the most powerful neutron source in the world. Proton beam pulses are accelerated towards a rotating five-tonne helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, generating neutrons via the spallation effect. The damage potential of the ESS proton beam is extremely high and could lead to the melting of...
LIPAc, the Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator, was developed under the IFMIF/EVEDA Project, which is part of the Broader Approach (BA) agreement signed between EURATOM and the Japanese Government in 2007. The IFMIF accelerator is designed to provide an accelerator-based D-Li neutron source that produces high-intensity neutron fluxes with the appropriate energy spectrum, aimed at characterizing...
