  1. ISIS operational update David Findlay Accelerator Division ISIS Department Rutherford Appleton Laboratory / STFC DL-RAL Joint Accelerator Workshop, RAL20–21 January 2009

  2. ISIS Second Target Station now operational

  3. ISIS Second Target Station now operational 70 MeV H– linac 800 MeV proton synchrotron TS-1

  4. ISIS Second Target Station now operational 70 MeV H– linac 800 MeV proton synchrotron TS-1

  5. Dec. 2007: first protons to TS-2 Aug. 2008: first neutrons from TS-2

  6. First beam — 340 V double pulse into 25 ohms1 hour 17 minutes to get beam from synchrotron to TS-2 First neutrons

  7. Spallation neutron sources: • for investigating structure and dynamics of molecular matter • Currently operating spallation neutron sources: • PSI (Villigen, Switzerland) • SNS (Oak Ridge) • ISIS (RAL, Oxon.) • LANSCE (Los Alamos) • J-PARC (Tokai-mura) Decreasing power

  8. Guinness Book of Records — can no longer show this photo

  9. ISIS — world’s most productive spallation neutron facility • ISIS • J-PARC, LANSCE, PSI, SNS • ISIS: 800 MeV protons on to tungsten targets, 0.2 MW • TS-1, 0.16 MW, 40 pps; TS-2, 0.04 MW, 10 pps • ~800 neutron experiments per year • ~1600 visitors/year (~5000 visits) • ISIS accelerators wholly for neutron factories • Also muon factory Decreasing number of target stations

  35. TS-2 optimised for cold neutrons • Long wavelengths, big molecules • TS-2 runs at 10 pps — 100 ms between pulses • 10 pps stolen from 50 pps from synchrotron • Only 40 pps left for TS-1 • Beam current × 50/40 • Dual harmonic RF — JWGT later • Commissioning TS-2 • Difficult while running full programme to TS-1 • Also CDM restrictions
