High Current Proton Tests of the Fermilab LINAC

M.POPOVIC, L. ALLEN, C.W.SCHMIDT (FNAL)

We have tested the peak current limit in the Fermilab Linac. The purpose is to find out what components of the linac can be used for the first stage of a proposed proton driver. For this application the linac must provide H- beam in excess of 5000 mA-microsecond. We have found that the present linac can accelerate beam with a peak current up to 85 mA with beam loss comparable to the present linac operations. The results of the test will be presented.
