Abstract
The linac of the SNS accelerator facility can be used to produce an electron beam with 300-400 MeV energy and relatively high current. At present, a few predesigned experiments with electron beam can be alternatively carried out at the SNS. However, the SNS linac is designed and optimized for acceleration of the H- beam, which creates problems when direct acceleration of electrons is considered. An alternative machine setup for electron acceleration and transport is discussed. Here, we present a study of the optimal electron beam parameters that can be achieved without any significant hardware changes in the SNS accelerator.
